The other day I told Steven Franklin that he is one of the genuine *stars* in my life and, therefore, for me, irreplaceable. Of course I could find other talented people, but I would be hard pressed to find all of his qualities in one person. Calmness coupled with focus and energy, genuineness and professionalism, a person who really listens to and cares about what I'm saying.
If I'm not sure about something, he will offer suggestions without ego attached. A mess will suddenly disappear. Things I've had in boxes, papers, photos, stuff no longer needed, all these bottlenecks that have strangled my freedom and peace of mind have given way to peace and a feeling of lightness and accomplishment.
It's taken me years to decide to bite the bullet and seek some professional organizational help, always with the thought that why spend money when I could do it myself, and surely *this* weekend I would dig in and find a sense of accomplishment But my own steps were too small and the frustration rarely left. Steven's talents are seemingly endless--he's also helped me with redoing my studio apartment over time. His taste is impeccable and, above all, besides feeling extremely comfortable in working with him, he is fun and a joy to work with! - Katie, San Francisco
Steven is amazing! In one day, he transformed a garage filled with fourteen years of family stuff into a serene, organized space in which we can now park two cars instead of one!! He patiently listened to sentimental stories as he deftly decluttered & brilliantly organized! He is super energetic & made a dreaded task fun! He even helped pay for himself by finding a long lost envelope with some cash! What a gem!! - Sheila, Moraga
Need to de-clutter your life emotionally and physically? Well, Steven Franklin is the guy for you. He helped me re-organize my house with the perfect combination of sincere compassion and ruthless abandon. I had re-organized my closets before dozens of times, and with other help. But this is the first time that everything has STAYED organized. I can find medicines at 3am, pull together outfits in a jiffy (he helps with fashion too), and get "oohs and aahs" anytime someone opens my pantry door. It's been several months now, and the systems Steven set up for me continue to work. I feel lighter in so many ways. Steven is fabulous! - Laura, Marin
Amidst the chaos of my life, you brought the much needed order and space. The bonus is that you are absolutely wonderful to spend time with, even doing the things I dread. - Yiwen
Steven was super helpful organizing my home office, closets, storage areas and a spare bedroom... he is an expert at organizing, de-cluttering and anything possibly needed to feel better about your home. He works really hard and is fun to have around. - AC, San Francisco
Working with Steven has been one of the best things I've ever done. He is so full of positive energy and is really fun to work with. He organized our garage, office, play room and kids' bedroom and we LOVE the finished products. The rooms are clutter-free and everything has its place. He knew exactly what I wanted and let me work as little or as much with him as I wanted. Life is so much better living in an organized space that I love now! - Julie, Danville
Being on a student's budget isn’t easy but with Steven’s expertise, passion, and creativity we transformed my apartment! As an added bonus his humor and energy were delightful. I never knew I could laugh so hard while being productive and accomplishing a dream. I am constantly getting compliments on my new and fresh “After” apartment and I owe it to Steven! Thank you! - Hanna, Chicago
What is there to say? The pictures say it all. Steve is a miracle worker in many ways. Like making it easy to sort through stuff that has emotional baggage. He makes me laugh. It is worth all the money and effort. Not to mention all the stuff you find, and don't have to go out and buy again. I am flush in tape and tools and know where they are! Great work Steven! - Juli, Michigan
I highly recommend Steven as an organizer, he came to my home on time with a great attitude and boundless energy. He worked with me on clearing out a lot of stuff I no longer needed that was making my home cluttered. He offered solutions to my storage problems and advised me on ways to keep my stuff neat. Steven took away my old stuff to be donated, so it didn't work its way back into my life.
I felt comfortable with him in my house, Steven is honest, pleasant and will tell you if there is something he doesn't specialize in, in my case it was book-keeping, so I wouldn't waste money having him help with that. Steven was however willing to help with everything else I needed to have organized and arrange my stuff in a more pleasing way aesthetically.
Hire him - your home will thank you. - Charlie, Oakland
