Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I travel between my primary residence outside DANVILLE, VA and my vacation spot in the VA Beach, VA/Hampton Roads area. I try to get to know each and every customer and NEVER take a cookie cutter approach. Each assignment is taken on individually and customized to the best of my ability based on the extent of the information I have about the customers vision of the end result and I strive to ensure that the actual end result meets or exceeds that vision. I have 30+ years clerical / office/ administrative experience, which comes in most handy in office / document organization, among other things. That's what my career has been focused in, although I've always had a knack for cleaning and organizing, especially the kind of larger jobs that most people procrastinate to keep from doing. There's something about the feeling I get when I first lay eyes on a project and in my mind's eye I get a picture of what I can make it look like and my mind just revs up and the wheels go to turning and they don't stop until the job is complete. And I've done quite a few projects where I had to remove can"junk". I don't ever pressure anyone to get rid of ANYTHING. But I have had some who have told me up front if there was anything they were getting rid of that I needed or could use, to consider it mine. And I've ended up with some really cool things that way! But the most valuable and enjoyable part of doing this, for me anyway, is the people I've met and the stories, history and information I've been gifted along the way. I've actually been doing this for many many years but not as an actual career, just as a favor here or way to beat boredom there. Had many offer me money when I was done, but I don't remember ever accepting money after the fact. Only if I was being paid already to just clean or remove junk and I'd just outdone myself and they were so pleased they threw in some extra, but rarely even then. I felt and sometimes still feel guilty taking money for something I enjoy doing so much. However, there's a growing need for this type of service, so why not make money doing something you really enjoy?

I was in desperate need of cleaning help before a picky houseguest arrived, and the OPP&T team responded quickly to my requests for information, which helped soothe my anxiety from the start. I knew almost immediately after Candy got started that I was in the best hands possible, and when she had finished, my house had NEVER looked better, even when we first moved in! Her attention to detail was amazing, and she was determined that I was going to feel good about my house before my guest arrived, which brought me such comfort. She is truly a sweet, kind person, and she is kickass at what she does! A couple of highlights (because there are honestly too many to mention): she fixed a hole in our couch that we had just accepted would be there forever, but she just fixed it like it was nothing...haha. That was a little thing that has made a HUGE difference in our lives, and it was above and beyond what we expected! AND she made me OK with all the linoleum floors in my house. I have HATED the linoleum floors in our house since we moved in because they looked old and stained. I have been plotting (and dreaming) constantly of different ways of covering them or removing/replacing them completely. When Candy was done with them, though, they were shining like new, and I did not want to immediately rip them up when I saw them. I actually liked them. Those two things alone will save us $$ over the next few years by extending the life of our couch and no longer making me want to renovate our house...haha. Another big deal to me was that she got along well with my dogs. I have two old indoor dogs. One is a "cranky old lady," and the other is scared of everything. I am always concerned when someone new enters our home. She listened to my instructions of how to deal with them and completely respected those instructions. By doing so, the dogs were fine with her being here and even liked having her around. I couldn't be happier with our experience with OPP&T, and it's my plan to keep them in our lives more permanently so that my house can always look this good!

Details: 4 bedrooms • 3 bathrooms • 2,000 - 2,500 sq ft • Deep cleaning • Oven cleaning • Interior window cleaning • Yes, I have a cat or dog • Just once

Candy was exactly who I was looking for--Someone who really listened and helped me do a job that I've been putting off forever. What was once an overwhelming task was actually finished in a few hours. I can HiGhLy recommend OPP&T for whatever clean out and organizing projects you may have in mind.

Details: Removal of unwanted items • Paper management • Space planning • Closets • Bedrooms • In-home office • Less than 500 sq ft • Moderately organized

Candy is great! She takes so much care with our house and has really helped with the overall cleanliness and organization of everything. She's even inspired me to work on organizing too. She's great with our child and cats and is super friendly. She always goes above and beyond.

Details: 4 bedrooms • 3 bathrooms • 2,500 - 3,000 sq ft • Standard cleaning • Yes, I have a cat or dog • Every 2 weeks

Candy was amazing with getting back to me quickly and putting me on the schedule for the following day when I needed the cleaning done. She arrived with all the supplies needed for a deep clean. She did an excellent job with the cleaning of the apartment, and even offered to help fix a few things that were broken! Best decision I ever made!

Details: 1 bedroom • 1 bathroom • Less than 1,000 sq ft • Deep cleaning • Interior window cleaning • Yes, I have a cat or dog • Just once
