Fees & Policies
Once dates and the project is confirmed, an $80 deposit will be taken. This will go towards the first hour of time spent on the project. Then my rate is $80 per hour and $0.65 per mile. I would be commuting from Oak Park, IL. I have a minimum of 3 hours for a project, per day and normally work 6 hours a day, on average. Hours of work will be discussed before start date.
If any organizing product needs to be purchased on behalf of the client, a 10% service fee will be added to the product total. Time spent shopping will also be factored in to regular rate pricing.
I understand life can be unpredictable, so I am flexible with start and end times. However, I have a 24 hour cancellation fee of 50% of the projected project. This includes deposit taken. Rescheduling, within reason, will not be subject to a fee.
I keep in touch with clients via text and normally confirm the job again, within 7 days of the scheduled date. This will be the only time I follow up to confirm our project. If a no-call/no-show situation arises, the client is responsible for paying the cancellation fee of 50% of the projected project.
I accept Zelle, Venmo, personal check or cash as forms of payment. Payment will be due at the end of each day. No exceptions.
The client will be responsible for the safety of the home or area we are scheduled to work in. I will not subject myself or my teams to unsafe or unkempt conditions.
At the time of starting a project, I have a conversation with the client about taking before and after photos of the space. I think its important to document the process; one, for the client to be able to look back on the progress of becoming more organized, and two; to be able to grow my portfolio and showcase different projects I've worked on. As long as the client verbally gives consent to taking photos of the project at hand, these photos may be used on Organized By Allie's website, Facebook and Instagram. A client's personal information, such as name, address, personal photos will not be shared with these photos, unless client would like it to be used.
