Frequently Asked Questions

  • We do. We do not share information, photos, addresses, names, family situation, other identifying details with anyone outside of House Peace unless specifically discussed with you. Your trust is highly valued. When we share photos online, it is because we have asked the clients if we can share them.

  • At this time, we accept Zelle, cash, or check. Virtual consults pay via PayPal.

  • We discard items/categories of items that you have directed us to discard. Some clients want us to make common sense decisions for them, other clients express a need to see every item before it is categorized as a discard or keep. We can take away donations at no additional cost as long as they fit in our vehicles. Larger donations would require scheduling a pickup from a local charity.

  • It is! Especially if you are a DIY person who just happens to be stuck or overwhelmed. We can get you pointed in the right direction with our bullet-pointed email after your virtual session!

  • If you’re able to do some work ahead of time, it certainly cuts down on labor costs. You could empty out the space before we arrive, check expiration dates on food, purge clothing you don’t love. For clients who don’t have time or energy for this, we can do all of it on the day of the job! Just be sure to let your Lead Organizer know what you’ve done before she arrives so she can plan!

  • This depends on the context. Every home and family and personality is different. In general terms, many of our jobs are a half day and that’s typically enough time to get a significant space organized (kitchen, or master closet, or office). Some of our clients want more spaces organized, and we talk about their time frame and budget so we can make it happen as soon as they want or we can spread it out over a few months.

  • We would love to touch up your space, and yes it is at a discounted rate! We now offer a Maintenance Package where your Lead Organizer comes in to refresh organizing that has been done before. It is $1000 for six months of refreshing, paid up front. This is a cost savings of $200.

  • We are happy to assist you with aging parents’ homes! To protect all parties involved, we will require at least one adult child be present and involved on the job with us. We may ask the adult child to be the person who discards items, while we facilitate and guide. We may video tape the job.

  • We work closely with local handyman businesses and contractors so that we can make installations happen! We can manage the install for you, or we can simply refer you to our network of installers.

  • Our bread and butter is home organizing, but we have worked on different projects as well. For example, a photographer’s studio and archive, an electronics workshop, a filmmaker’s studio & gear storage, a pilates gym, elementary school classrooms, seamstress’s studio, doctor’s private office, and a hunting lodge. We also donate our services and rally volunteers for community members in need, from time to time. Those projects vary from garages to sheds and so on.

  • No, we are a single-owner LLC, founded in 2013 by Tara Bremer. Our Lead Organizers are 1099 contract workers who work closely with Tara to bring the House Peace experience all over BHM and ATL.

  • We are not currently hiring, but if you’d like to email your resume to Tara, she can keep your reference should an opportunity arise.
