Frequently asked questions
What services does Clutter Buddy offer?
One of the best things about Clutter Buddy is our option to fully customize our services to fit your specific needs. Anything that helps to declutter your spaces, to-do list, or old media and papers, we can do. Our services range broadly but include decluttering, cleaning, organizing, and various forms of liquidation ranging from online sales, estate sales, and yard sales. We love our one on one declutter sessions and the time we spend after organizing any space from a closet or pantry to a garage or office. We transform garages or empty storage units. We have helped many clients pack to move and unpack at their new home. We load and unload the moving trucks and have even driven some! We help with handyman things like adding shelves, painting, small repairs, hanging art, and pulling weeds. We run errands, put up and take down Christmas trees and other holiday decorations, wrap gifts, set up parties, and clean up after. We digitize your old VHS tapes or photos. We offer home inventories for insurance or will purposes. We do property clean outs, too! Our new Senior Shield services include changing smoke detector batteries, dusting ceiling fans, securing rugs flat, and more! We work in every type of home and neighborhood in five counties and we love the diversity of each day!
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes! Clutter Buddy always offers free, in-person consultations to allow us to get a feel for the scope of work and the time, crew size, and materials we’ll need to get the job done right.
What areas does Clutter Buddy Serve?
We are based in Salt Lake County and are often in Draper, Sandy, Riverton, South Jordan, Murray, Holladay, and Salt Lake City. We also service Utah County (Lehi, Alpine, Highland, American Fork, Provo, Orem, London, Pleasant Grove), Tooele, Davis, and Weber Counties. We have worked in San Diego and Nebraska. We will work almost anywhere but a travel fee may apply.
How quickly can you schedule an appointment?
Clutter Buddy is usually able to schedule a consultation within a few days. We can come after hours if necessary.
How much does a decluttering service cost?
Because our projects vary so greatly, there is no set price. We will be able to provide a custom estimate after our complimentary in-person consultation. Rest assured, our rates are consistently lower than our competitors. We also work quickly and with smaller crews to save you time and money.
What happens to items you declutter- do you donate, trash, recycle?
One way Clutter Buddy stands apart in the declutter and organizing industry is what we do with the items after. We will do a one on one declutter session with our clients to determine what is to keep, donate, sell, or trash. But here’s where the difference comes in-because we are trying to declutter your whole life, we will take your sellable items and sell them for you! This helps you recoup some of your costs for our work (or sometimes pays for it many times over). It will also save you time and the hassle of selling it yourself. Purged items we don’t sell will be delivered to the charity of your choice that day. We also take items to the landfill or arrange a dumpster if necessary. We recycle cardboard and more when possible. We deliver household chemicals and other hazardous materials to the proper drop-off locations.
Do I need to be present during the work?
It depends on the work we’re doing for you. We prefer you be there for a declutter to tell us if there are things you want to go through or keep so we don’t accidentally get rid of something you want, but we can do most jobs without you there.
Do you bring your own supplies/tools?
We bring nearly everything we’ll need to complete a job. We try to use what you already have to make our service as inexpensive as possible. If you want specific containers for an organizing project, we’re happy to pick them up and bring a receipt for reimbursement.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We take Venmo, Zelle, cash, and checks.
I work a “regular” job and am only available nights and weekends. What are your hours?
For us, this is our “regular” job. We generally work 9-6 Monday-Friday. We try to accommodate your schedule when possible. There is 1 Saturday available each month. We often work after hours on weeknights. We do not work on Sunday. Like with most in home services, it’s best if you schedule some time off once we determine how long a project will take.
