One of the most common questions we get is: “Is hiring a professional organizer worth the cost?”
At $75+ per hour, it may seem like a big investment—but here’s what you’re really paying for, and how we compare to others in the industry.
What You Get with Green Bay Organizers

✅ Two organizers on-site – We work faster and more efficiently as a team.
✅ Donation & trash haul – We take one vehicle load of donations and one large bag of trash with us each visit.
✅Custom organizing solutions – We create systems that work for your life, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
✅ Product suggestions, shopping, and inventory – We recommend the right products, bring them to the job site, and even carry inventory. No need for you to measure or shop—we take care of it.
✅ Repurposing when possible – We reuse your plastic totes and containers when we can.

The Hidden Cost of Disorganization
Being disorganized doesn’t just take up space—it costs you money, energy, and time.
💸 Financial Cost – Disorganization leads to buying duplicates of items you already own, late fees from misplaced bills, wasted food, and missed opportunities to sell or donate unused belongings.
🧠 Mental Load – Clutter causes mental fatigue. That constant feeling of “I should really get to that” weighs you down, making it harder to focus, relax, or enjoy your space.
⏱️ Time Lost – Studies show the average person spends hours each week looking for misplaced items. That’s time you could spend with family, on hobbies, or just enjoying a calm, functional home.
Hiring a professional organizer isn't just about making things look nice—it's about reclaiming your time, energy, and peace of mind.
What Do Other Organizers Charge?
Professional organizers in the U.S. typically charge between $50–$150 per hour, depending on their experience, location, and services provided. In metro areas similar in size to Green Bay, average rates fall between $65–$85/hour for solo organizers, and up to $125/hour for teams or full-service offerings.
At $75/hour per organizer, we fall right in line with industry standards—while offering a two-person team, full-service support, and hands-on guidance that many others don’t include.
