Jamie RamsaySince we couldn’t afford to keep all the rooms clean in our old home, we decided to move to a smaller yet functional space. But of course, downsizing would also mean letting go of some of our stuff, which unfortunately didn’t happen.
Months have passed and we’ve been saying we’re going to deal with it on the weekend, but well, life happens! And that’s when we knew we needed help from the top professional organizers in Vancouver.
Now, our space even looked brighter—we even saw some of our clothes that we thought were missing. So if you also need more breathing space at home, make sure to contact these organizing pros that’ll make you forget about your life without them.
How much does a professional organizer cost in Vancouver?
In Vancouver, the cost for hiring professional organizers starts around $35 per hour, depending on experience. Some organizers offer discounts and offers for longer hours, or even multi-room organization.
How we chose:
- Customization: We checked if the professional organizers create customized solutions, ensuring a sustainable approach that would fit the various needs and lifestyles of their clients.
- Ease of communication: We assessed if clients can easily communicate and even share their thoughts with the professional organizers.
- Turnaround time: We considered how fast the organizer can complete an organization project.
- Availability: We checked for convenient operating hours, including availability on weekends. Plus points for professional organizers with flexible schedules.

When my husband’s mom passed, we only got a short period to organize her things in their home. After almost 6 weekends of trying to organize, we decided to ask for Out of Chaos’ help.
In fact, they are known for handling senior homes, that’s why we had to try their services.
What’s great about them is that they were very sensitive and kind, knowing that we were dealing with a different kind of ordeal during that time. Even better, they were careful in dealing with our mother’s stuff, especially those that might be sentimental.
They were able to organize and clear up a lot of space in just eight hours—something that would probably take us a year of weekends to do ourselves!
You can also expect them to give you suggestions on how you can organize your home better. We also love that Linda would provide low-cost recommendations for storage containers, so even if you’re bound to buy a lot, you won’t end up splurging.
And if you want to learn more about organizing, you’ll love that Out of Chaos offers organizing workshops. We’ve heard that some companies even sign up for these workshops, which we find very interesting.
Can organize corporate spaces
“Linda Chu and her team at Out of Chaos handled our corporate office move superbly. Linda was thorough with assessing our moving needs. Her team is professional, friendly and were a welcome addition to our office. Linda was a great resource as we went through the purging stage. It was challenging to continue to focus on daily work and the move, but Linda was patient yet persistent. I would highly recommend Linda and her team to assist with any move. Linda is an expert planner, a true professional and she and her team are, in a word, efficient!!!”

Transparent costs
“Linda, owner of Out of Chaos, was a dream come to life. Faced with 61 years of accumulation in my parents home, I had to get rid of the contents. I had tried for a year but was overwhelmed. Linda was able to guide me through the process. She presented different options, never putting her motive behind any. It was what I felt comfortable with. All costs are transparent. Linda is a kind, patient, organized and professional woman. 100% recommend this company.”

If you’re contemplating downsizing from a spacious home into something much cozier, we’re well aware how tough planning could be. Our Pinterest boards of minimalist and clean spaces don’t seem to make sense whenever we see more boxes piling up.
Since we couldn’t get rid of some of our stuff, we decided to literally send an SOS to SOS My Space. Quincilla and her team were able to help us organize all of our stuff in our new home.
Yes, we were able to keep all of our things—all we needed was the organizing magic of these pros. Everything was placed in a way that actually made sense, so searching for things was made a lot easier too.
If you need to work on your current home, we suggest scheduling a discovery session with Quincilla first. During consultation, you can expert her and the rest of her team to go over certain parts at home, allowing them to create a plan that works for you.
If you have physical limitations and could no longer move things, you can trust these professional organizing pros to the heavy lifting for you. You don’t even need to be present, as long as you’ve given the proper instructions beforehand.
Provides tips for continuous organization
“Decluttering and Organization has a lot to do with energy and mindset. Quin has established within her inner self clarity and project to the outer world balanced energy; both of which makes her the perfect candidate to work in this field as a Professional Organizer. I was pleased to receive her guidance. We got a lot done in a very short period of time and I continue to use her techniques to sort and make space so I can create and be inspired to do what I love again.”

Has a calm energy
“Quincilia is amazing! I have been fortunate enough to have worked with her several times over the past year. Her thoughtful, considerate guidance helped me and my family take on a long-overdue reorganization after moving to Coquitlam. It was such a positive experience that we had her come back to help declutter more areas of our home. She is a wealth of knowledge and always brings a genuine warmth and calm energy to the process. I honestly had no idea folded clothes could bring me so much joy! I look forward to the next time we work together and would highly recommend her services.”

Working from home was supposed to make life easier, but months diving into this new work culture, we ended up having papers all over our kitchen counter and living room. Also, there’s that living room couch that somehow migrated into the dining room.
As soon as we felt like we’re not living in our own space anymore, we decided to hit the reset button with Harmony Home Organizing’s help.
Anna, the senior manager, was able to sort all of our rooms that were overflowing with random stuff. Not to mention that she even took the time to observe how our day flows, just to strategize on placements and organization.
We weren’t even expecting them to do that, but we’re glad they did, especially that we’re a creature of habit. Additionally, we don’t want to get lost in our home either!
Another thing that they helped us with was labeling–yes including those cords that were tangled everywhere else. We never really thought that we had to label our things until we saw the final output.
Moreover, even if you’re not in Vancouver, Harmony Home Organizing can still provide you with decluttering and organizing tips by connecting with you online. All you need to do is get on a video conference call with them, and be their helping hand (literally!)
Efficient sorting
“Olena and her team are friendly and diligent. She listened to your needs and respected what works for you. They packed my kichen with 30 boxes efficiently ! Thank you for your great help!”

Cleans up the space before leaving
“Silvia was absolutely fantastic! I did a happy dance when she left.
What an incredible organizer! I have so much more space AND not a thing was thrown out! I thought I would have to help move boxes but she did it all by herself. Everything is all categorized and EVEN labeled! WOW! I am so impressed! She even wiped down the shelves and vacuumed!! How cool is that? I joked that I would have to go shopping now to fill up all the bare shelves she created…Silvia is one talented lady!”

If you’ve been to our home before we’ve met the NEAT Method, you’d probably say that everything looked nice and organized. Yes, it might be true—but only on the surface!
So yes, don’t even dare open any drawer you see at home. Because the truth is, we used to dump all of our stuff there, especially whenever we had guests coming over unannounced.
After weeks of saving dreamy Pinterest homes (and pretending we got our space neat), we decided to give these professional organizers a call. What we liked most about them is that they have an eye, which we needed to make our space look amazing.
They focused on our kitchen space and living room, just as requested. Our most favorite part was the spice containers and labels that matched with our kitchen.
The snacks in our pantry were so organized that we almost didn’t want to get anything from the stash. We were also not expecting to maximize the space that we had under the sink, but they were still able to make the ugliest corner in the house very pretty.
You can also expect them to ask questions, especially with the things that you use on a daily basis. This just tells us that while they want our space to be beautiful and clutter-free, they still want every homeowner to go on with their routine–only better now!
Helps build a sustainable system
“Sarah and her team absolutely transformed our space! They were a dream to work with and cannot recommend them highly enough. The mental clarity of having a de-cluttered space, a sustainable system where everything goes, done in such a fast + efficient way. Wish we had done it sooner!”
Barbora Farkasova, Google Review
Commonly used things are now accessible
“Sarah and her team worked on my kitchen and pantry this past fall and man are the results everlasting! I’m in love with my systems in place and it makes it easier to have everything so accessible! Also, everything has a home now and it’s easy to keep mindful of waste & we actually saved money along the way! I can’t wait to have her back to work on other parts of our home.”

Moms out there would definitely agree with me, that no matter how hard we try to organize, we just don’t have enough energy and time. Especially when you have to focus on dealing with tantrums and feeding them.
So when our youngest entered his terrible twos, the playroom has been the most cluttered spot in our home. I remember, we would always end up stepping on his LEGO bricks, we almost felt the need to throw them away!
Not to mention the glitters that spilled all over the carpet, and the crayon streaks we got on our walls. That’s when Mello Spaces entered the scene.
They were practically calm during our initial conversation. They also informed us of their free consultation, allowing them to survey the area first even before we committed.
Surprisingly, Melanie and Michelle instantly removed all the mental stress and pressure from our minds, just by having that initial conversation.
We loved how they created zones for activities, which also helped with our kid’s discipline. They also set up low bins, so we can encourage our kid to clean up after playing.
And if you can’t be home during their organization session, just inform them about the things to keep or donate, and they’ll do the rest.
They’re also available seven days a week, so if you’re only available on weekends, then they can accommodate you. Just make sure to schedule ahead, as their weekend slots get filled up easily.
Efficient team
“I am so thrilled that i found Melanie of Mello Spaces! She is efficient, organized and so incredibly helpful. I was looking for someone who understood organization – the way I would do it, but didn’t have the bandwidth for after an overwhelming move. While i was looking at a mess of boxes, she could see everything organized and labelled. Loved it…she is on my ‘favourites’ in my phone:). Thank you Melanie”

Easily adjusts to client’s needs
“Florena was excellent! She was easy to work with and adjusted easily to my needs and wants at this point in my life. With her input we completed the job in the time-frame that I wanted. I would recommend Mello Spaces to anyone who needs their support. Do not hesitate! Do it!”
