If you recently moved and are surrounded by boxes, you may feel overwhelmed or stressed and be looking for an unpacking and organizing service near you. You may also be wondering whether hiring professional help is really worth it.
As professional organizers who regularly help clients unpack and organize their homes, we’ve seen how much easier the process can be with an extra set of hands.
We put together a helpful list of ways professional unpacking and organizing services can make the moving process easier.
Here are 10 benefits of hiring professional unpacking and organizing help.
1. The Physical Work of Unpacking Is Done for You
Unpacking an entire home takes a lot of time and physical work.
With professional unpacking help, you don’t have to spend days opening boxes, carrying items from room to room, bending, lifting, and putting everything away yourself.
2. You Can Get Unpacked Without Being Home
Depending on the project and what you’re comfortable with, professional organizers can unpack and organize your belongings while you’re away, allowing you to focus on work, family, or everything else that comes with moving.
Once we understand where you want things and your preferences, we can continue unpacking and organizing while you’re away.
3. You Can Get Help Decluttering
If you didn’t have time to declutter before your move, you can also get help decluttering as you unpack.
A professional organizer can help you go through your belongings and decide what you want to keep, toss, or donate before everything is organized and put away in your new home.
4. Your Belongings Are Unpacked and Put Away
Instead of living out of boxes after your move, we unpack your belongings and put them where they belong.
Clothing can go into closets and dressers, kitchen items into cabinets and drawers, bathroom items into their proper places, and so on throughout the home.
5. Your Home Is Organized as It’s Unpacked
Professional unpacking is more than simply taking things out of boxes.
Instead of simply emptying boxes and finding somewhere to put everything, your belongings are intentionally organized as they’re unpacked.
6. You Can Get Help With Any Area of Your Home
Whether it’s your kitchen, closets, bedrooms, garage, home office, or just about any other space, a professional organizer can help you unpack and organize it.
You can get help with as many areas of your home as you need so everything is put away, organized, and set up in a way that works for you.
7. You Get Professional Help Deciding Where Everything Should Go
It can be difficult to figure out where everything makes the most sense in a new home.
A professional organizer can help determine where items should go based on how you use them, the storage available, what’s easiest to access, and what works best in each space.
8. You’re Not Left With All the Packing Trash
Once the boxes are empty, there’s still a mess to deal with.
We can break down your moving boxes, collect packing paper and other packing materials, and help move everything to your garage, another area of your home, or wherever you’d like it placed for disposal.
9. You Can Settle Into Your New Home Faster
Instead of spending days or weeks surrounded by boxes and slowly unpacking whenever you have time, professional unpacking help can get your home set up much faster.
You can start actually living in your new home instead of feeling like you’re still in the middle of moving.
10. You Can Take a Lot of the Stress Out of Moving
Moving is already stressful, and having an entire home left to unpack and organize can make it even more overwhelming.
Hiring professional unpacking and organizing help takes a huge part of that work off your plate.
Instead of worrying about boxes, where everything should go, and when you’ll finally get it all done, someone can help unpack, organize, and set up your home.

FAQS About Unpacking & Organizing Services
What does an unpacking service include?
An unpacking and organizing service typically includes taking items out of boxes, sorting and organizing your belongings, and putting everything away in your new home. A professional organizer can help you decide where items should go and organize each space as it’s unpacked.
It can also include breaking down boxes and gathering packing paper and other packing materials. Depending on the service, the team may move the packing trash to another area of your home for disposal or take some of it with them.
Ultimately, the goal is to help you go from a home full of moving boxes to an unpacked and organized home that’s ready for you to settle into.
How long does it take to professionally unpack a home?
Unpacking and organizing an entire home is typically not a one-day project. It can take multiple days with multiple organizers, depending on how much help you want and need.
The amount of time it takes also depends on how many items need to be unpacked and organized, the size of the spaces you’re moving into, and how everything was originally packed.
For example, if boxes are neatly packed, clearly labeled, and already in the right rooms, unpacking can go much faster. If boxes contain miscellaneous items, aren’t labeled correctly, or are in the wrong rooms, it can take longer to sort through everything before organizing and putting it away.
Every unpacking project is different, so the time needed depends on the home and the scope of the project.
