The Main Organizer

Professional Home Organization
Many people believe they have to live in a space where they can’t have everything; where there just isn’t room for all their possessions unless they buy a bigger home.
Led by Lee Mains, a Professional Organizer who has been de-cluttering Vernon homes since 2004, The Main Organizer can help create a living space that works more effectively for you and your lifestyle. A living space you’ll love coming home to.
Lee knows that sometimes it’s necessary to deal with your “stuff” before making your space more beautiful. Lee will consult or work with you to sort, declutter, contain and create time-saving systems for any of your spaces – from a single closet to an entire house.
In this economy, people can no longer afford to be disorganized. Buying something and then later realizing you already had exactly the same item buried in a cupboard, closet or garage could be costing you more than the time it would take to get organized. Misplaced items might as well be trashed items.
The Main Organizer provides affordable, eco-friendly solutions that minimize waste. Lee will help you redirect your unwanted items to more Earth-friendly destinations than the landfill (recycling, donating, selling, etc.)

- • De-Clutter / Storage Solutions / Space Planning
- • Seniors Downsizing / Combining or Dividing Households
- • Move In / Move Out – Unpacking / Packing
