Reviews
David D: Dale's help in organizing and sorting out a home I sold and then organizing a new home has been invaluable. His kind, patient and thoughtful manner is an absolute pleasure. His process is mindful and considerate of the sometimes emotional connections we have to letting go of things. His tireless energy, brings the necessary mojo needed to get things done. Once organized, I've found the system he brings, is easy to keep things organized. Dale is simply the best.
Jay S: I recently hired Dale to help organize my closets and drawers, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Dale was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly transformed my space. Everything is now neat, accessible and beautifully arranged. I highly recommend Dale to anyone looking to declutter and organize their home. Thank you Dale!
John M: Dale is the BEST -- his attention to detail is amazing -- and his ability to create a new space is stunning. We were very lucky to have him -- and i HIGHLY recommend him to everyone else -- you will not be disappointed --- Dale is a miracle worker
Ali G: Dale and I spent a busy afternoon together preparing for my cross-town move. We went through my extensive wardrobe including my large collection of handbags. At first I was reluctant to let anything go - I mean I wasn’t downsizing or anything, I was just moving to a new place where I had plenty of storage. Dale helped me realize that this move was the perfect opportunity to shed the extra stuff that I no longer loved or needed - especially all of the clothes that had literally been sitting in my closet, completely untouched since my last move! Without him there to call me out on my crap, I probably would have dragged everything to my new place. It was uncomfortable at first - giving away perfectly good items - but when we were done, I felt liberated and ready for a new start in a new place.
Laura D: I have known Dale for almost 16 years - first as co-workers and now as friends. He’s the most organized person I know and while I sometimes make fun of him for his immaculately kept studio, I regularly rely on him for his support and advice when my closets need a good decluttering. I really appreciate how he keeps me honest when we’re going through my stuff without expecting me to become a total minimalist. What can I say, I like my clothes. Dale respects that but also pushes me to get rid of what I really don’t need while helping me find storage solutions for what I need to keep. He has also assisted with resale and donations - to date I have made over $1,000 from unwanted items.
Victor V: When my father moved back to the Philippines he left me his rent-stabilized apartment in upper Manhattan. He also left me with a huge pile of crap to deal with. His heart was in the right place - he collected things that he thought were still useful and planned to send them to family back home. That never really happened, so I ended up with a two bedroom apartment that was packed - floor to ceiling - with stuff, most of which belonged in a dumpster. Dale was fearless and stayed with me every step of the way as we unpacked the piles of clutter and made room for what was actually worth keeping.
