Good Words From Good People

  • “Valley Maker worked with me organizing my attic and guest bedroom. I would not hesitate to hire them again and plan to, in fact. They are hard working, efficient and guided me with patience and kindness in determining what objects it was time to let go of. Valley Maker helped us put up storage shelves in a closet and found attractive, elegant baskets for storage. It was a pleasant, even fun, experience working with them and I highly recommend their services.” - Janet

  • “Valley Maker was instrumental in helping me decorate and set up my new workspace. They listened to my ideas and thoughts, was flexible as those changed, and added their own creative input to help create the perfect space for me and my clients. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the finished space. Most importantly, they took the overwhelm out of the process, making it a fun and exciting experience. Highly recommend working with Valley Maker!” - Oriana

  • Working with Valley Maker was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The room we focused on had become a catch-all space full of things I intended to deal with but didn't ever get to for various reasons. When we began, the room was filled with boxes of memorabilia and objects that triggered much emotion in me. Emily was always patient and nonjudgmental throughout the process of sorting, organizing, and deciding what to let go of and what to keep. My goals and budget were really taken into account. Thanks to Valley Maker’s excellent design sense and “can do” approach, the room is completely transformed. I’m grateful for this creative and cozy space for me and my family to enjoy!  - Shirley

  • I don't know how to thank you enough for all you've done for me and my family. You have made my home a place I love coming home to. You are so thoughtful and kind and have such an eye for beautification. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and patience in helping weed through "all the things". I appreciate you more than words can say." - Amanda
