 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You don’t always realize the power of an organized space until you see it firsthand. This is the team to work with if you’re moving, downsizing, or decluttering—especially during challenging times. Their client stories really highlight the difference they make.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a great experience working with Bluebird Nest Organizing! Jennifer was very responsive and kind when planning and scheduling. Lisa came to my home prepared, and was very kind and patient throughout the process! I really appreciate that they take any toy donations with them when they leave as that is one less thing to need to do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 85 year old mom has had a team come to her apartment to help her organize each room and let go of the things she no longer needs. She enjoys them, and they’re respectful of her and her process. Most importantly, my mom carries a lot of shame about her challenges in keeping things tidy and organized, and she has been able to trust them to help her and feel the joy of having her space feel lighter and more pleasant. My mom was very nervous about letting them into her space, and now she welcomes them to help her clean out the depths of her closets and cabinets. It’s perfect - if I had to do this with my mom it would have been unpleasant for both of us. Instead, my time either my mom is for fun and mother/daughter dates. Totally worth the investment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've always thought about getting help to declutter my house but assumed it would be too costly. Eventually, I called Jennifer, whom I found online. She was kind and guided me through the process.

Sending photos of my space felt humbling and a bit shameful. I thought I shouldn’t need help, but the company never made me feel bad about it. My spare room had turned into a dumping ground for items I didn’t know how to get rid of, and my biggest hang-up was that the items were nice and in good condition.

Knowing they would go to places that could use them made it easier.  I hired Alecia and Lisa, and in just four hours, we accomplished more than I had in a year. We cleared out the spare room and closet, some of which I hadn't touched in 16 years.

They made the process simple: I focused on what was right in front of me with Alecia while Lisa handled all the packing.  When our 4 hours were complete, they had their vehicles loaded with donations and I didn't have to do a thing extra.  I’ve already scheduled them again for my kitchen.

My only regret is not doing this sooner. I feel lighter, the energy in my home has shifted, and my anxiety has decreased. I’m very happy with their service—if I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Thank you for giving me back a space I can enjoy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa and Alecia were great to work with. They helped me maintain focus and did a lot of the moving to place items as I made the decisions. In other words they kept me on task and saved steps by keeping me in place where our organizing as happening.  They were helpful with suggestions but always left decisions up to me, which I realize is important. They remained cheerful, positive and encouraging throughout their time with me, and I look forward to having them help me again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleasant experience with Lisa at Bluebird Nest Organizing. Got closets cleaned out & organized, put things in my storage unit, & took things I didn't want anymore to be recycled or donated. Felt good to get all of that done!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today was the 2nd time I have worked with the amazing team at Bluebird.

This time I needed help downsizing and packing up a spare bedroom full of clothes for an upcoming move.
Lisa and Alecia were both awesome to work with. They were prompt, efficient and very organized. They also couldn’t have been any nicer or helpful.

I would definitely use Bluebird again if needed and highly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Generally enjoyable experience. I am the type of scatterbrain that has a hard time figuring out how to organize spaces. Effective organization can take me weeks to figure out. Lisa at Bluebird helped me do in 4 hours what might take me weeks on my own. She was also on time, pleasant to work with and hauled away all my donations for me so I didn't have to worry about that. She left me with a plan that would help me continue my organization in other rooms of the house and had great organization tips so maybe I can at least attempt to another space on my own in the future (maybe, lol). Also, Bluebird is very reasonably priced. Overall, I'd say I got exactly what I needed and maybe even a little more than I was expecting.
