Simplicity helped me nine years ago unpack and arrange my new home's closet! It is still organized! They just returned to clean out my garage, loaded with old files and memorabilia, and set up a small office indoors. They knew just what to do and now both areas are a delight to see and use! I know where everything is! Thank you, Simplicity, for a five-star performance!

This company is a piece of Heaven that I learned about and then followed up. The young lady that came and got me on track for organizing papers and my calendar was wonderful.

Simplicity is like having a personal trainer for your home and head all in one!!! Working with the women with Simplicity is a fabulous experience!!! Worth every single penny I paid!!!! Truly gifts from God!!!! I am so grateful and so much more clear headed with an organized home!!!! Hurry up and get on their calendar!!!!

Simplicity is THE BEST! They don’t just tidy up an area. They don’t miss any detail and create a system you can use for years. They transformed my storage garage and I’m actually excited about using it now. Emily led my team and she was amazing!

On behalf of Metro School, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to the entire Simplicity Serves team for your incredible dedication and hard work at our school. The commitment and enthusiasm of your 11 volunteers, who devoted 4-5 hours each, have not gone unnoticed. Your efforts have significantly enhanced the functionality and organization of the Intervention Lab, media storage closet, and laundry room, making these spaces more accessible and easier to maintain.The potential for these spaces to support our school’s vibrant community life is immense, and with Simplicity Serves’ expertise, I am confident we can achieve remarkable results.Once again, thank you for your invaluable support and for making a tangible difference in our school community. We look forward to many more successful projects together.

The team at Simplicity Organizers is top-notch. They organized my closet. The team was professional and did a great job. I highly recommend their service!

This is my THIRD TIME hiring Simplicity to help me organize my kitchen (life) and my husband and I agree it is some of the best money we have ever spent. The team is kind, considerate-a joy to be with and their work is incredible. If you are thinking about it, ddo it!! You won't be sorry. My pantry is a dream!

Melissa and her team at Simplicity Organizers are real pros! With a keen eye for space and efficiency, they can turn any room, closet or pantry into a dream! They are lovely to work with!

Simplicity is a wonderful business! Their staff is super professional and organized and ALWAYS exceeds my expectations!

The Simplicity team is excellent - professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and really pleasant to work with. They cleaned out and reorganized my walk-in closet, and I honestly can't believe the difference. It’s wonderful to have more space and to be able to find everything immediately. It's much easier to keep it orderly, too, since everything in there now has a specific place to be. A real bonus is that Simplicity will take everything that's to be donated and drop it off for you. We were so pleased with this project that we've already booked them to organize another room. Highly recommend this exceptional group!

So glad I tried Simplicity Organizers! Now I’m a very happy repeat customer. Everyone there is wonderful to work with and Emily is terrific! Always a professional job - Simplicity Organizers is amazing 👍🏻👍🏻

The professionalism and efficiency of Simply Organizers are impeccable. Emily and her team came into my home with a grand plan for our kitchen and pantry spaces. I love tidy countertops and organized shelves and drawers. They met my expectation and MORE! Adding new serving pieces and eliminating those that weren't being used streamlined our areas in such a way that makes everyday life and special occasions so enjoyable for my family! Nicole S.

What an incredibly gift Simplicity is it our city. Not only have they served our foster families and social workers but they have come alongside our non profit to help us organize our new space. This has been an incredible gift. Their people, wisdom and insight is unmatched!

Where to even start!? Simplicity Organizers TRANSFORMED the uniform/storage closet at our Title 1 school. They took decades of clothes, backpacks, random school supplies (think giant junk drawer if you will) and made it all make sense. Plus they were so professional and lovely I did not want them to leave! Walking into the closet with a student to find what they need most is now a happy, rewarding experience. THANK YOU!

Steve Montgomery

I can hardly find the right words to explain or describe to the greater planet earth how much y’all rock it out! There is such happiness in order, particularly, in one’s home & literal sanctuary. After more than 10 years of truly single parenting 3 kids, working and solo managing a household, this Mr. Mom cant begin to say enough about how near soulfully cleansing is was and how life changing it remains for me to have had Shyla and your awesome team in our home and working your magic. Less is more .. Thanks a ton & beyond for creating SO much less for us and, as a result, giving us a whole lot more!

HIGHLY recommend this amazing group of women!! Would never consider moving again without their help on BOTH the front end (throwing out, decluttering, organizing pre move) and the back (unpacking and organizing at new house). Going through almost every single item in my house before we moved prevented moving a significant amount of boxes that were give away or throw away. It made packing easy and organized. It would have taken me a month or more to unpack and organize at the new house but with the Simplicity team we had every box unpacked in 4 days. I consider myself organized but they are next level. Closets, bedrooms, kitchen, entire house was unpacked in a thoughtful way that works well for my families personal needs. All the women were polite, helpful and easy to work with. The team leader helped execute the most efficient plan each day. They are worth their weight on gold!!

The simplicity organizers are very professional and a lot of fun. Lisa helped me so much I looked forward to her help and great ideas. Organizing is so rewarding!I highly recommend these girls!

We had a wonderful experience with Simplicity Organizers. The prelim walk-through was eye-opening, and the Head Organizer sent along a thoughtful plan with additional thoughts for other parts of the house. On the actual day, 4 specialists showed up ready to work. They helped clear space and set up a functional system that will be easy to maintain. What they managed to accomplish in 5 hours is more than I've been able to do alone in 5 years. This was such a treat! Highly recommend.

Had Emily’s help with organizing my kitchen and bathrooms after just moving into a new townhome. It was absolute chaos and my brain just doesn’t work in this 3D way. She made my spaces flow so well and I want her to organize my whole house now!

From the moment we met Laurie and team we knew this whole experience would be nothing short of exceptional. Simplicity brought back function and routine to our home. With kids, I no longer worry about the mess they will make - everything has a place it can return to. We love the way our home look, feel and functions.

If I could give Jess and her team more than five stars, I would! After a major water leak, I needed my kitchen and pantry organized and packed up quickly. I cannot believe how efficient and organized they were and how much we accomplished. I never could have managed this project by myself. I highly recommend Simplicity Organizers and I will certainly be using them again.

I received a gift card for Simplicity Organizers and it is the best present I've had in a long time!!! Jesse and Melissa were amazing! They took my craft/office room from a place I avoided to a room I never want to leave. They were so wonderful to work with and made it so easy to decide what to keep and what to donate! They were fun, easy to work with and fast! My room has never been so organized! I can find everything! I will say I was very skeptical when my girls gave me the gift card, but I can't wait to do more!! We all think we can do organize by ourselves, but never get around to it! Now it is so easy to stay organized! Thank you for making my room a place I want to go and can be creative - the stress is gone!!!

Simplicity Organizers has been working with the school that I work at for the last few years. They always go above and beyond for us. The services they offer extend far beyond organization. They have completely transformed three spaces at our school: Our PE closet, teacher workspace and community wellness center, The Lighthouse. Before Simplicity we were not able to use these spaces effectively. They were filled with junk and stressed everyone out. People used these places as dumping grounds! Simplicity helped us not only organize and declutter but they taught us and helped us create a system that works for our school. We not only have a clean space, but we also KEEP a clean space. The spaces are now used on a daily basis and the systems that were created run themselves. We now know what materials we have and can clearly identify when we are in need of something new. I cannot recommend Simplicity enough. They are also very sustainable and will make sure to find a new home for your "junk" so you do not have to throw it away. They are always seeking to serve the community, they make you feel at ease and never embarrassed. Truly, WE LOVE THEM! Do yourself a favor, and hire Simplicity!

Jess and Melissa were great to work with on organizing our pantry/kitchen! Jess was our main point of contact and was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. You can tell they both love what they do. They had great ideas on how to organize things to maximize the way we use our current space. We can't wait to have them back for more projects in the future!
