The cost to have a kids’ closet professionally organized can vary depending on the closet’s size, how many items are inside, the level of disorganization, and exactly what you need help with.
Our professional home organizing services in Baton Rouge start around $825. Depending on the project, we may be able to organize one kids’ closet, multiple closets, or even other areas of the home during that session. Larger or more involved closet projects may require additional organizing time.
What Determines the Cost of Organizing a Kids’ Closet?
Many factors can determine how much it costs to professionally organize a kids’ closet.
One of the biggest factors is simply the size of the closet. A smaller closet is obviously different from a large walk-in closet. The larger the closet, typically the longer it takes to organize.
Another factor is how many items are in the closet and how disorganized it is. Some closets may not have a ton of items and just need better systems in place, while others may be packed with clothes, shoes, toys, memorabilia, sports equipment, school items, and everything in between.
It also depends on what exactly you’re wanting help with.
For example, if we’re helping you go through and declutter your child’s clothes and figure out what they still wear, what no longer fits, what can be donated, and what can be tossed, that can add more time to the project.
If we’re checking clothing sizes, that can add time, too. We may be sorting out clothes that are too small, clothes that currently fit, and clothes that are still too large and need to go into a “grow into” pile or section for later.
Sometimes we’re also moving items from one closet to another or switching kids’ bedrooms and closets around.
And if you recently moved, we may be unpacking boxes first and then organizing everything into the closet, which can also take more time.
So there really are a lot of different factors that determine how much it costs to organize a kids’ closet.
How Much Does Kids’ Closet Organization Typically Cost?
As we mentioned above, our home organizing services start around $825.
Within that starting point, we can sometimes help organize multiple closets. Other times, we may spend most of the session working on one closet.
Most clients who reach out to us for closet organization usually want help with more than one closet or more than one area of the home.
So depending on how many kids you have, how many closets you want help with, and how much organizing is involved, a project may start around $825 and sometimes go into the $1,000–$2,500+ range.
Some projects can be more than that, especially if we’re helping with multiple kids’ bedrooms, closets, playrooms, or other areas throughout the home.
What’s Included in the Cost of Kids’ Closet Organization Services
Depending on what your child’s closet needs, our organizing services can include:
Decluttering: Helping you go through clothing and other items and decide what you’d like to keep, donate, toss, or store. We also bring basic decluttering supplies, such as boxes and trash bags.
Sorting clothing by size: Check sizes and separate clothes that fit, are too small, or are still too big. Organize and store clothes your child can grow into for later.
Taking everything out: When needed, we can empty the closet so we can see everything you have and start with a clean slate.
Light wiping and cleanup: We bring basic supplies and can wipe down closet shelves and surfaces before putting everything back.
Sorting and categorizing: Grouping similar items together, such as shirts, shorts, pants, dresses, pajamas, shoes, accessories, and other belongings.
Folding: Neatly folding clothing and other items that are better stored on shelves, in drawers, or in bins.
Color coordinating: Organizing clothing by color when it makes sense for the space and makes items easier to find.
Creating organizing systems: Giving everything a designated place and setting up the closet in a way that’s easier for you and your child to maintain.
Labels: Labeling bins, baskets, shelves, or other areas when labels would make the system easier to use.
Organizing product recommendations: Recommending bins, baskets, hangers, dividers, or other products when needed. Not every closet needs new organizing products, and we can often work with what you already have.
Donation drop-off: Taking unwanted items to a local donation center after your organizing session.
What Can a Professional Organizer Help With in a Kids’ Closet?
We can organize pretty much anything that belongs in your child’s closet.
That may include clothes, shoes, school uniforms, toys, memorabilia, sports equipment and gear, backpacks, activity items, seasonal clothing, clothes to grow into, extra bedding, and more.
Every family uses their closets a little differently, so the goal is really just to create categories and systems that make sense for your child and your home.
Can You Help Organize My Child’s Bedroom Too?
Yes.
Often, organizing a child’s bedroom and closet goes hand in hand.
There may be clothes in the dresser, toys throughout the bedroom, items under the bed, or things in the closet that really belong somewhere else in the room.
We also offer kids’ bedroom organizing services, so we can help with the closet, dresser drawers, toys, books, desks, nightstands, and other areas of the bedroom.
How Does Kids’ Closet Organizing Work?
We start with a phone consultation to learn more about your child’s closet and exactly what you’d like help with. We’ll talk about the closet’s size, what’s currently in the space, what isn’t working, and what you’d like to accomplish.
Next, we’ll ask you to send us photos of the closet so we can get a better idea of the space and how much organizing is needed. From there, we’ll recommend the session option we think is best for your project.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll schedule your organizing session based on your availability. On your project day, our team will come in and organize your child’s closet, creating a more functional system for their clothes, shoes, accessories, and other items.
How Long Does It Take to Organize a Kids’ Closet?
How long it takes to organize a kids’ closet truly depends on a few different factors, including the size of the closet, how many items are inside, and the current level of disorganization.
It also depends on exactly what you’d like help with. Are we simply organizing what’s already there? Are we helping you and your child declutter and decide what to keep, donate, or toss? Are we checking clothing sizes and separating items that are too small, currently fit, or need to be saved to grow into? All of these things can add time to the project.
Once we know more about the closet and exactly what you’d like help with, we can give you a much better idea of how long the project may take and how many sessions we’d recommend.
For one child’s closet, we can usually complete everything in one session, typically around 5 to 5½ hours. In some cases, we may even be able to complete multiple closets within that time. It truly depends on the factors above.
Does My Child Need to Be Involved in the Process?
No.
This really depends on your child’s age and what we’re helping with.
For younger children, it’s usually not necessary for them to be there. We often organize kids’ bedrooms and closets while they’re at school.
Sometimes having younger children involved can slow the process down a little bit, especially if we’re trying to sort through a lot of items.
However, if you want your child involved, they are absolutely welcome to be.
For example, if you have an older child and you want them to go through their clothes or toys and decide what they still want, what they no longer use, and what they’re comfortable donating, they can definitely be part of the process.
We like to set the expectation that if we’re going through every item with your child and waiting on decisions, the project can sometimes take longer.
Ultimately, it just depends on your family, your child’s age, and what you’d like help with.
