About
Garage, basement, attic, closet, or storage space completely out of control? I specialize in designing, installing, and organizing practical storage systems for homes, including closets, storage rooms, garages, basements, attics, and utility spaces. Whether you need new shelving, closet systems, wall storage, hooks, cabinets, or a complete storage makeover, I can help transform your space into something functional, organized, and easy to maintain. From installing storage systems and organizing closets to completely reorganizing garages, basements, attics, and workshops, I create customized solutions that maximize your space and make everyday life easier. Whether you're dealing with tools, sports equipment, seasonal decorations, storage bins, or years of accumulated belongings, I'll create a practical system that keeps everything organized, accessible, and easy to maintain. I don't just organize. I install, assemble, improve, and optimize storage systems so they truly work for your space and your daily routine. My services include: • Custom storage planning • Closet organization and storage systems • Garage organization • Basement organization • Attic organization • Storage room organization • Decluttering and sorting • Installation of shelving, racks, hooks, cabinets, and closet systems • Assembly and disassembly of shelving and storage furniture • Light furniture assembly • Tool and workshop organization • Seasonal storage organization • Labeling storage systems • Packing services • TV mounting and setup • Installation and setup of basic home security cameras • Internet and WiFi equipment setup • Home electronics installation • Cable management • General handyman assistance for home projects I bring my own professional tools and can recommend practical storage products that fit your space and budget. Please note: I specialize in organizing spaces and installing storage systems. I do not provide cleaning or junk removal services. However, I can sort, organize, disassemble, and prepare unwanted items for pickup by a junk removal company. Most garage and basement projects take approximately 5 to 8 hours depending on the size of the space and the amount of clutter. Minimum project time: 5 hours. Feel free to send photos of your space before booking. I'll review everything, recommend the best approach, and help create a storage system that stays organized for years to come.

Russ helped me pack up my closets for flooring work in my apartment. He jumped right in to get the job done in an organized and thoughtful manner. Will hire Russ again for future projects.

Russ did a fantastic job organizing my storage closet. Before, it was completely cluttered and hard to find anything. He sorted all the tools and items into clear categories and made everything easy to access. Now I actually have extra space and can quickly find what I need without digging through piles. The whole area looks clean, functional, and much more organized. He is very professional, efficient, and pays attention to details. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help with organizing

Russ did an amazing job. I had to clean and organize my whole garage, but timing and a shoulder injury prevented me to do so. Russ’s work was incredible. He cleaned and organized everything, even assembling a shelving unit for me. I am beyond happy. He went above and beyond. 5 Stars!!

Our basement had become completely unmanageable — I couldn’t even walk through it. While searching for someone to help, I came across Russ. When I saw that he specializes in basements and garages, I knew immediately he was the right person to take this on. His reasonable rates and glowing reviews sealed it. We’re a very typical New York story — we moved from a city apartment into a larger house in Brooklyn with a basement, and along with that came three storage spaces worth of things: sports equipment, file cabinets, office supplies… everything. What felt like a luxury quickly became a dumping ground. It got to the point where I couldn’t even walk through it — piles everywhere. Then we had a flood, which only made things worse — stacks of items lifted and teetering, but still no real system or order. I run my own business and truly have no time for something like this, but it became a daily mental burden — always thinking “I’ll get to it,” when in reality it would have taken weeks, if not months. From the moment Russ walked in, I knew we were in good hands. Before getting started, he stood in the space for a solid 10 minutes taking it all in — you could literally see him mapping out the plan in his head. Then he got to work. He is one of the fastest, most efficient, and most professional people I’ve ever hired. What I thought would take a week took him just two days — about five hours each day. His energy is incredibly calm and non-invasive — my husband didn’t even realize he had arrived. I worked alongside him the first day to decide what to keep, toss, or sell, and he handled everything with so much respect, especially anything sentimental. He’s decisive without ever making you feel pressured, and always completely nonjudgmental. When I found out his wife is also an organizer, she joined on the second day and did an assessment of other areas of the house — closets, kitchen, office. Her energy was so great I’m now considering hiring her as well. And the result… I actually go down to my basement now just to sit. It’s calm, clear, and completely Zen. That space used to weigh on me daily, and now it feels peaceful. When you hand something this personal over to people who are this capable, kind, and professional, you realize your time is better spent elsewhere — this isn’t what I do. The mental weight is gone, and my basement is now efficient and fully functional. It was money very well spent. I only wish I had done it years ago.
