RATES & PACKAGES
RECLAIM YOUR HOME
Making the decision to invest in your home and your ideal lifestyle takes time and consideration. But, as the saying goes, sometimes you have to spend money to make money!
The truth of the matter is that the cost of clutter is huge:
It costs you personally: Do you avoid having friends and family over because you’re embarrassed by the mess?
It costs you time: How many hours have you spent looking for something or repurchasing items you can’t find? (A recent study found the average person spends one year of their lifetime looking for lost things!)
It costs you financially: Take a look around you—all that stuff used to be money.
If that hasn’t convinced you, recent studies also point out that who live in a tidy space end up sleeping better, stress less, and are more physically active.
So perhaps the better question to ask is: Can I afford not to do this?

QUESTIONS ABOUT RATES
WHAT IF IT TAKES LESS TIME OR MORE TIME THAN THE AMOUNT OF THE PACKAGE?
If we finish sooner than the amount of time on your package, we can work on another area of your home. If it takes longer than the amount of time on your package, you pay the difference based on the pro-rated package discount.
WHEN IS PAYMENT DUE?
Similar to Personal Training sessions at a gym, payment for all packages is due prior to the start of the first session. The benefit of this payment structure is that it holds you accountable to your goal of tidying up, and provides me with the opportunity to offer generous discounts on hourly rates. If this arrangement doesn’t work for you, the option to pay the full rate of $100/hr at the end of each session is also available. (Note: 3-hour minimum applies to all sessions.)
WHAT TYPE OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
Payment can be made via: email money transfer to christina@uptowntidy.com; PayPal; cash or cheque. Please note: all rates are subject to HST.
WILL YOU PROVIDE A CONTRACT?
Yes. A contract that protects the best interests of both parties must be signed prior to the start of each session.
IS THERE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF HOURS FOR EACH SESSION?
Five hours is the ideal amount of time for a tidying session, from both a productivity and stamina standpoint. Otherwise, there is a three-hour minimum for each session.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO CANCEL?
Life happens—I get it! Sessions cancelled with at least 24 hours’ notice will be rescheduled at a later date with no penalty. Unfortunately, cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are non-refundable.
I’M READY TO COMMIT TO TIDYING UP, BUT HOW WILL I KNOW IF WE’RE A GOOD FIT?
Great question. If you’re seriously interested and have the budget to invest in my support, I would love to meet you in your home for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your challenges and goals for your space. In return, I will provide a plan and estimate for the scope of work. If we’re on the same page, great! If not, no hard feelings—perhaps our paths will cross one day down the road.
