Residential/Homeowner services

Intake consultation: Free

This 5-15 minute introductory call via phone or Zoom will help us decide if my services are a good match for you. Please email me at melissa@honeybeespacecreation.com with times that work for you, and we can schedule a call from there. If we’re a good match and you’d like a session, I will need prepayment, and for you to sign a service agreement, I’ll be happy to send you the service agreement ahead of time for you to review.

On-site services: Currently serving the Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, El Sobrante, Pinole, Hercules, Martinez area. I can travel further for an additional fee.

One-hour on-site consultation: $90

Even the most resourceful client can use support in designing a game plan for decluttering. In an hour-long on-site consultation, I will visit your home at a time we agree on, and for an hour we’ll bounce ideas around and I will leave you with hand-written notes suggesting an action plan. This is a hands-off visit designed for planning. If you’re enthusiastic and our schedules allow, there is the option of upgrading to add an organizing session while I’m still on-site.

One-hour consultation plus a three-hour organizing session: $260

This four-hour stretch will provide you with a one-hour consultation with hand written notes, followed directly by a three-hour organizing session. During the three-hour organizing session, we’ll tackle an agreed-upon area and I’ll pull out and sort items that you will make decisions on. This will go at your pace. If you’re a decision-making dynamo, you can join me in pulling out, sorting and moving things into their new homes. If you need more time to contemplate your decisions, I’ll focus more on the organizational side, refining the game plan made during our consultation, and even doing some physical cleaning of the items and areas we’re working on. The first half to two-thirds of the organizing session is focused on pulling things out, and the second part is focused on putting things back and preparing donations for transport, so that you aren’t left in chaos.

When our three hour session is complete, I can remove up to 8 grocery bags or 6 bankers file boxes of items that are easily donatable to charity, and/or items that are easily recycled. This is optional but included. I will email or text you a copy of the donation receipt for your records.

Three hour organizing session: $200

Once you have had an on-site consultation, I can provide three-hour on-site organizing sessions as described above. Alternately for our first meeting, if you’re on a budget or need to pace yourself, I can provide an on-site consultation plus a two hour organizing session for the same cost.

One hour Zoom consultation: $60

During a Zoom session, you’ll tackle an area that you’d like to improve, and I’ll offer support, and answer any questions you might have. I recommend Zoom sessions for clients who are on a budget, clients who live far away, clients with very limited time, clients who just need a little extra motivation, or clients who feel shy about having someone in their home.

Zoom sessions have several disadvantages. I live in a rural area and the best internet connection I can get is weak. My sound and video occasionally freeze for a minute, so I ask for your patience, and I may ask you to repeat things. Also, what I see is limited to your screen, so I may miss things that could lead to helpful ideas. It takes more concentration for both of us, which is why Zoom sessions only last one hour.
