Reviews

John M: Dale is the BEST -- his attention to detail is amazing -- and his ability to create a new space is stunning. We were very lucky to have him -- and i HIGHLY recommend him to everyone else -- you will not be disappointed --- Dale is a miracle worker

Ali G: Dale and I spent a busy afternoon together preparing for my cross-town move. We went through my extensive wardrobe including my large collection of handbags. At first I was reluctant to let anything go - I mean I wasn’t downsizing or anything, I was just moving to a new place where I had plenty of storage. Dale helped me realize that this move was the perfect opportunity to shed the extra stuff that I no longer loved or needed - especially all of the clothes that had literally been sitting in my closet, completely untouched since my last move! Without him there to call me out on my crap, I probably would have dragged everything to my new place. It was uncomfortable at first - giving away perfectly good items - but when we were done, I felt liberated and ready for a new start in a new place.

Laura D: I have known Dale for almost 16 years - first as co-workers and now as friends. He’s the most organized person I know and while I sometimes make fun of him for his immaculately kept studio, I regularly rely on him for his support and advice when my closets need a good decluttering. I really appreciate how he keeps me honest when we’re going through my stuff without expecting me to become a total minimalist. What can I say, I like my clothes. Dale respects that but also pushes me to get rid of what I really don’t need while helping me find storage solutions for what I need to keep. He has also assisted with resale and donations - to date I have made over $1,000 from unwanted items.

Victor V: When my father moved back to the Philippines he left me his rent-stabilized apartment in upper Manhattan. He also left me with a huge pile of crap to deal with. His heart was in the right place - he collected things that he thought were still useful and planned to send them to family back home. That never really happened, so I ended up with a two bedroom apartment that was packed - floor to ceiling - with stuff, most of which belonged in a dumpster. Dale was fearless and stayed with me every step of the way as we unpacked the piles of clutter and made room for what was actually worth keeping.
