Helping Northshore Homeowners Declutter & Organize Their Closets
Closets come in all different shapes and sizes. Some offer plenty of storage space, while others have very limited room to work with. Every home is different, and so is every closet.
Many people throughout Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, Hammond, Slidell, and the Northshore reach out to us for help organizing their closets for a variety of reasons.
Some have tried organizing their closets themselves, but simply don’t know where to start. Others need help creating better systems, don’t have the time or energy to tackle the project, or physically need an extra set of hands.
No matter the reason, our professional organizers in Mandeville are here to help.

- Feeling overwhelmed by the number of items in the closet

Closet Decluttering Services
Some clients only want help decluttering their closets before organizing.
Our closet decluttering services focus on reducing excess items and creating more usable space. We use a simple keep, toss, donate process to help clients decide what stays and what goes.
We bring boxes and trash bags and help you work through the closet one section at a time.
Whether you’re dealing with a closet that’s difficult to access, packed from floor to ceiling, or simply filled with items you no longer use, our goal is to help eliminate clutter and make the space easier to manage.
Many clients find that having guidance, accountability, and an extra set of hands makes the process much easier and less overwhelming.
Closet Organizing Services
Some clients don’t need help decluttering at all and just want to jump straight into the organizing process.
Everything in the closet is staying, but they want help creating a more organized and functional space.
In these situations, we organize existing items into categories, create designated homes for belongings, improve accessibility, and make the closet easier to maintain moving forward.
Our goal is to create systems that work for your lifestyle, not systems that look great for a week and then fall apart.
Walk-In Closet Organization
Walk-in closets can hold a lot, but they can also become difficult to keep organized when clothes, shoes, accessories, bags, and other items start piling up. We can help you go through what you have, declutter what you no longer want or use, and organize what you keep.
We’ll create designated places for different categories so it’s easier to see what you have, find what you’re looking for, and put things back where they belong. Our goal is to make better use of your closet space while making it easier to maintain.
Reach-In Closet Organization
With limited space, reach-in closets can quickly start to feel full and difficult to use. We can help you sort through clothing, shoes, accessories, and anything else stored in your closet, decide what you want to keep, and organize the space around what you actually use.
We’ll make the most of the available shelving, hanging space, drawers, bins, and other storage so your belongings are easier to see and access.
Custom Closet Organization
Do you already have a custom closet system with built-in shelving, drawers, hanging areas, or other storage? We can help you use it better. We’ll help you declutter what’s accumulated over time and organize your clothing and belongings based on how you use the space.
We can reorganize categories, improve how items are stored, and adjust your existing closet system to work better for you. When we’re finished, your closet will be easier to navigate, easier to maintain, and better suited to your everyday routine.
Our Closet Organization Process
Getting started with our closet organization services at My Professional Organizer is simple.
1. Reach Out About Your Closet Project
The first step is simply getting in touch. You can give My Professional Organizer a call at 504-238-4100 or fill out our online contact form to tell us a little about the closet organization help you’re looking for.
2. Tell Us What You Need Help With
We’ll call you to talk through your project and get a better idea of what you’re looking for.
We’ll ask questions such as how many closets you’d like help with, what you’re currently struggling with, your biggest problem areas, whether you want help decluttering or organizing or both, and what you’d ultimately like your closets to look and function like.
We’ll also talk about things like your timeline and budget so we can recommend an option that makes sense for your project.
3. Send Us Photos of Your Closet
We’ll have you send us a few photos of the closet or closets you’d like organized. This gives us a much better idea of the size of the space, how much is currently stored there, the existing shelving and storage, and the amount of work that may be involved.
You don’t need to clean or organize your closet before taking the photos. We want to see the space as it currently is so we can get an accurate idea of how we can help.
4. We’ll Recommend an Organizing Session
Once we’ve talked with you and reviewed your photos, we’ll recommend a session option based on your closet project and give you a clearer idea of pricing.
We’ll go over the recommendation with you, answer any remaining questions, and explain what you can expect during your organizing session.
5. Schedule Your Closet Organization Day
If you’d like to move forward, we’ll schedule a day for our professional organizer or organizing team to come to your home.
That’s really it. Once your project day arrives, we’ll come prepared to get to work on your closet. Depending on what you’ve hired us for, we’ll help you declutter, sort, categorize, organize, and create a system for your belongings so that your closet looks better, functions better, and is easier for you to maintain.
Closet Systems Designed for Real Life
At the end of your project, you can expect a closet that looks better, functions better, and is easier to maintain. Similar items will be kept together, everything will have a designated place, and you’ll be able to find what you need and put things away more easily.
This can make everyday routines like getting dressed and putting away laundry easier, while saving you time and physical effort.
Hiring a professional closet organizer is an investment in professional help, your time, and a space you use every day.

FAQ
How long does closet organization take?
There’s no set amount of time it takes to organize every closet. How long your project takes depends on the size of your closet, how many items you have, its current level of organization, and whether you want help decluttering, organizing, or both.
At My Professional Organizer, our organizing sessions are typically around five to five and a half hours, and we’ll work through as much of your closet project as we can during that time.
Sometimes, one organizer can complete multiple smaller closets within a single session. Other times, a large walk-in closet with a lot of clothing, shoes, accessories, and other belongings may take the entire session.
Some closet projects can be completed in one organizing session, while larger projects may require additional sessions. Before your project, we’ll review photos of your closet and talk through what you’d like to accomplish so we can give you a better idea of what to expect.
What’s the difference between closet organization and closet design?
Closet organization focuses on decluttering and creating functional systems within your existing closet. Closet design typically involves installing custom cabinetry, shelving, or built-in closet systems. We specialize in organizing your current closet rather than designing or installing custom closets.
Do you install custom closets in Mandeville?
No. We don’t install custom closets, but we can help you organize your custom closet if you already have one.
Do I need a custom closet to get organized?
No. We can organize your existing closet using the shelving and storage you already have. In many cases, that’s all you need to create a closet that’s easier to use every day. If we think a few organizers or storage products would help, we’ll make recommendations, but custom closets aren’t necessary.
How much do closet organization services cost?
The cost of closet organization services depends on several factors, but most of our closet organizing projects fall between $795 and $2,500+.
Pricing depends on things like the level of disorganization, how many items are in the closet, the size of the closet, whether you need help with one closet or multiple closets, the type of closet, and whether you’re looking for decluttering and organizing or just organizing.
Once we see your closet project and learn exactly what you’re looking for, we’ll be able to give you an accurate quote based on your specific needs. Every closet is different, so the cost really depends on the amount of work involved.
How Many Organizers Will Work on Your Closet?
The number of professional organizers working on your closet will depend on the size and scope of your project. Some closet projects only require one organizer, while larger projects may benefit from having multiple organizers working together.
For example, a smaller reach-in closet that needs some decluttering and organizing may only require one organizer. A large walk-in closet with a lot of clothing, shoes, accessories, and other belongings may benefit from having two or more organizers.
How much decluttering you want to do can make a difference as well. If you’re going through a large amount of clothing and expect to have a lot of donations, trash, or items that need to be sorted and removed, multiple organizers can help with the physical work and keep the project moving. If you only need a small amount of decluttering and primarily want help organizing what you already own, one organizer may be all that’s needed.
Before your project, we’ll look at your closet photos and what you’d like help with and recommend the number of organizers that makes the most sense for your project.
Do I Have to Be Home While My Closet Is Being Organized?
It depends on what we’re helping you with. If you want help decluttering your closet, we’ll need you there for that part of the process. We don’t make decisions about what our clients should keep, donate, or toss without them, so we’ll work alongside you as you go through your belongings and decide what you’d like to keep.
Once the decluttering is finished, however, you don’t necessarily need to stay while we organize everything. Some of our clients declutter with us at the beginning of their session and then head out while we take care of the organizing.
If you’ve hired us just to organize your closet and aren’t decluttering, you don’t need to be home at all. You can provide us with a key, door code, or another way to access your home, and we’ll take care of the organizing for you.
