Kate's Delighted Clients
“I have never used a service like Eliminate Chaos. We recently moved to the Seattle area and the help that Eliminate Chaos provided was amazing, in just a few short days my box filled house became livable.”
~ Ricki, Bellevue

"During the recent visit we were moving from one home to another. I was so overwhelmed and I did not have any idea where to begin. The process began and I followed along. I was still so overwhelmed by all the questions and the fact that I didn't have the answers. Then, as the day moved forward one of the gals asked me how I was feeling. You could tell that she sensed my anxiety of the move. I answered with a very neutral answer and she accepted it. As the move went forward the same gal came back to the house we were moving from and heated up her lunch. She simply just opened up a conversation and allowed me to talk and without even knowing what happened until the conversation ended I realized all my anxiety went away and I trusted her with all that was going to happen. Her assurance that it will work made all the difference in the world. Not only is the expertise of the company incredible, but the customer service is something words can not describe. Yes, business is important but they took it one step further and made me feel like my family and i were as well.."
~ Katy Hanses, Yakima, WA

“I have yearned for years to have an organizer help me to organize the "studio" in our home where we work on the computer, sew, do art projects and have our home office. When Kate Deppa arrived, I was both excited and nervous, but she put me at ease right away and was a calming influence the whole day. She helped me to process all of the stuff in the room in such a way that I felt both confident and liberated in tossing things out and straightening up the things I wanted to keep. I would not have been able to accomplish what we did together, paring down my possessions, had it not been for Kate's assistance! A huge thank you to Kate!”
~ Lisa, Mukilteo

"Our daughter returned home from camp she was ecstatic! Her comments: "whoaa! gnarly! awesome! I was looking for [that]! I can't believe you found all this stuff! Wow, you found [that]?! Thanks for cleaning, Mom, this is amazing" Of course she thinks I did it all ;-) Incredibly, her room has remained clean! Thanks so much!"
~ Patty, Seattle, WA
“Having just lost my husband 3 months ago to a car accident, I had been feeling very overwhelmed by all the "stuff" piling up in and around my house. I am a secondary school principal with two children, ages 11 and 9, and as much as I want to be super mom, I cannot do it all. Kate came over & walked through the spaces, taking care to ask my input & also demonstrated a willingness to do as much as I needed her to do.
At the end of one day, I had a functional garage again instead of a giant mess. I am now able to park in the garage again, and with a few more shelves, there may even be room for two cars. As my dad said, "Whatever you are paying, that's money well spent".
Thank you for everything!!”
~ Whitney, Port Ludlow, WA

“My garage was a filthy mess of bent boxes of stuff. Kate cleaned all the shelves and helped organize
stuff so I now have clean places in the garage to put the stuff I want to get out of the house.”
~ Marcia, Lynnwood WA

"Kate was able to come in and immediately help me make progress. She has excellent suggestions and advice to help me re-arrange and re-order things. I totally appreciate the quick end-of-session review and goal-setting for the next time."
~Ashley Engelund

"When I was getting ready to sell our house, I called on Kate's expertise to get my house ready and looking nice. Kate helped me plan some updates then helped me pick out and match flooring, sink and faucet for the kitchen and new lighting for the dining room and entry. She also organized the cupboards. After Kate completed the staging of the furniture and the accessories for me, the house looked great! Her sense of style and attention to detail is super. Our realtor frequently tells us how many people comment on how great the house looks and how nicely staged it is! I couldn't have done it without Kate who patiently led me through all of the decisions."
~ Doris, Edmonds WA

"Kate was very loving and caring and treated me with respect, which I appreciated since I was in a fragile state at the time. Having gained control and order in my house again has blessed me and strengthened me beyond belief. I recommend Kate for anything she takes on; she takes charge, follows through to the smallest detail and makes the sun shine!"

"My sewing/craft room was a disaster, with only a path through the stacks. I called Creative Organization and two days later Kate had a tidy and orderly room for me. I highly recommend Kate and would hire her in the future."
~ Lynette, Monroe WA

"My garage was a total disaster. I couldn't find any of the tools I needed when I needed them. I had remnants of several projects scattered throughout and it was frustrating to even try to walk through. Kate worked with me to sort out the mess. She was respectful of the items I knew I wanted to keep and encouraged me to recycle, donate or dispose of the items I didn't need. Kate found me some perfectly suited kitchen cabinets from craigslist that would have ended up in the landfill and they work great. Now I can find any of my tools in an instant and my little projects around the house are actually fun again. I even find myself showing guests my newly organized garage, rather than praying nobody opens that door! Kate's help was invaluable."
~ Doug, Edmonds, WA

“Kate Deppa was above and beyond my expectations in organizing my home!! She was full of helpful ideas. She gave me the skills to keep my rooms organized. Kate was professional and I highly recommend her.”
~ Susan, Seattle, WA

"Kate was wonderful! She helped reduce the amount of paper in our office and in turn reduced the amount of stress as well. We have discovered how good it feels to be clutter free."
~ Peter, Edmonds, WA

"Overall, using Kate was a very good experience and use of my time and money."
~ Kathi, Kenmore, WA

“Kate & Cheryl were wonderful to work with. Not only do they have endless energy, but they weren't even slightly fazed by the scope of the job (a nice way of describing my horrendous mess). They were methodical, thorough, & had lots of great ideas for organizing my garage. I knew what I wanted the end product to look like, but no idea how to get there. Kate & Cheryl did - thank goodness!
~ KP., Carnation
