Garage Organization Project Overview
Professional Organizers Baton Rouge recently helped a family declutter and organize their garage after they realized the space wasn’t working as well as it could.
The Challenge
Their garage had plenty of storage and shelving, but they didn’t really have a system for where things belonged. Over time, items were being placed wherever there was room, making it harder to find what they needed when they needed it.
They wanted garage organization systems that made it easier to find items, keep similar belongings together, and maintain the space over time. They wanted the garage to look more organized and feel less cluttered.

Step 1: Emptying and Sorting the Garage
As with most garage organization projects, the first step our team took was to remove everything from the shelves and sort items into categories. This let us see exactly what was stored in the space and identify duplicate, unused, or unnecessary items.
Step 2: Decluttering Unneeded Items
Once everything was sorted, we worked alongside our clients through the decluttering process.
As part of our garage decluttering service, we helped them decide what to keep, donate, and toss so we only organized the items they actually wanted to keep.
This reduced the number of items being stored in the garage and made it easier to create a practical system to maintain.
Step 3: Creating Storage Categories
After decluttering, we cleaned the shelves and prepared them for reorganization. Our clients wanted to use storage bins throughout the garage, so we grouped similar items and placed them in category-based containers.
Categories included tools, lawn and garden supplies, cleaning products, car care items, camping gear, emergency supplies, and household backstock items.
Step 4: Organizing the Garage
Once everything was categorized and contained, we began organizing. We organized the items into bins on the shelves so each category had a designated home.
Our clients wanted to use black and yellow totes for a cleaner, more uniform look, but they also wanted to stay within their budget. We helped them choose products that gave them the look they wanted without spending more than necessary.
We grouped similar items together, added simple labels to each bin, and gave every category a designated home. These garage organization systems made it much easier to find items, put them away, and keep the garage organized over time.
The Finished Garage
Our goal wasn’t just to make the garage look nicer; we wanted to create a garage storage system that made it easier to find things, put them away, and keep the garage organized long-term.

FAQ
How long does it take to get a garage professionally organized?
How long it takes to professionally organize a garage depends on several factors, including the size of the garage, the number of items inside, the level of disorganization, and whether you need help decluttering, organizing, or both.
Garages are typically larger projects that require multiple team members. Most garage projects take approximately one to two sessions with our team.
Once we review photos of your garage and learn more about what you need help with, we can give you a better idea of how long your specific project may take.
How much does it cost to hire a professional garage organizing service?
The cost of professional garage organization depends on the size and scope of your project. Every garage is different, so the total cost depends on factors such as the size of the garage, how many items need to be organized, the level of disorganization, and whether you need help decluttering and organizing or organizing only.
Because the time needed affects the overall cost, larger or more involved garages typically cost more. Most of our garage organizing projects start at around $825 and generally range from approximately $825 to $3,500.
Do I need to be home when you organize my garage?
You do not always need to be home while we organize your garage. Our team can handle the organizing process for you.
However, you will need to be present if you would like help decluttering and deciding what to keep, donate, or throw away. Without your input, we will not know which belongings you are comfortable parting with.
Can you help me declutter my garage before you organize it?
Yes. Many of our clients need help decluttering their garages before we begin organizing.
Our team can go through the items in your garage with you, including belongings stored on shelves, inside cabinets, and in bins. We will help you decide what you would like to keep, donate, or throw away so you can regain space before we create new organizing systems.
Do I need to buy organizing products for my garage?
We recommend waiting to purchase organizing products until we have reviewed your garage and learned more about your project. Once we understand what you need help with, we can recommend products that may work well for your space.
Some garage projects benefit from additional shelving, bins, or other organizing products, while others do not need anything new. You may already have useful products that simply need to be arranged or utilized more effectively.
Are organizing products for my garage included in the cost?
No. Organizing products are optional and are not included in the cost of our organizing services. Products are an additional expense when needed.
Some garages benefit greatly from products such as bins, shelving, or labels, while other garages can be organized using what the client already owns. We will make recommendations based on your specific space, needs, and budget.
Do you install garage storage systems and shelving?
No. We don’t install custom garage systems or install shelving systems in garages. However, we can absolutely help you organize your garage before or after installation.
