ChangingSpaces was founded after helping our own parents. We have worked with many seniors and have the most advanced accreditation offered through our association, including training in ethical issues and meeting the needs of families and seniors.

Moving companies are hired to take your items from point A to point B. We are space planners, organizational experts, sorters and decluttering pros. ChangingSpaces helps you plan your new space, design closets, and we assist with tough decisions of downsizing. If you ask a moving company to pack a room, they will do just that, labeling boxes from the room where they are packed – not taking into account where items are going, if they are needed, or if they are literally trash. Unlike movers, ChangingSpaces helps you with re-selling/donating items, floor planning, maintenance, closet planning and unpacking and settling everything into the new home.
ChangingSpaces can create a floor plan and can even work with your designer if you have one. You tell us which pieces of furniture you like the most, and we will give you options and recommendations for the best arrangement.
We work closely with you to determine which items are most important to you, what will fit in your new space, and what to do with items you are not taking. You make the decisions, and we do the physical labor of lifting, packing, unpacking and arranging.
We have numerous trusted relationships with resellers, estate sale professionals and charities for the items you no longer need. We will help you get the most for your possessions.
We are referred by many top real estate companies to stage homes to quickly get them on the market. We help you declutter, rearrange and edit furniture to showcase your home to its best effect. The great thing about using ChangingSpaces is that the time spent staging your home will shorten the process of sorting and packing for your move.
This depends upon how much there is to do in your home. Whether you are moving to a smaller, same size or larger home, you’ll want to review and edit your possessions to determine not only what will fit but also what items are no longer serving you. Each job is different and is tailored to fit your needs.
ChangingSpaces has a list of trusted movers who meet our high standards that we work with all the time. We choose specific movers depending on your needs and goals. For example, in moving very high-end art, we know which companies excel in that area. We will coordinate onsite meetings and evaluate estimates for you. We are your advocate, and we demand great service at a reasonable price from our highly vetted resources.
ChangingSpaces will work with you to sort your current closets and measure the space you need in your new home. We work with various closet companies that give us special pricing to benefit our clients. ChangingSpaces will help design a new closet system and will work with our vendors to install exactly what you need, whether you are moving or reorganizing your current space to make it more useful.
We will create a cohesive plan and listen to what you can handle and where you want our help. We can help with as much or as little as you need.
It is important to know that all of our team members are employees, not contract workers. You will work with a Project Manager who will guide you through the entire process. Our experienced team will work with you on-site for sorting, packing, unpacking and settling you into your new home. The same team will work with you as much as is possible.
ChangingSpaces can oversee most renovations as well as design cabinets, bookcases, shelving and more. ChangingSpaces can shop for new furniture and provide you with choices.
After an initial complimentary consultation, we will give you an estimate for the job you are asking us to do. This will be based on the number of hours we anticipate the tasks will take. This is a dynamic process and sometimes you’ll end up wanting more help, and sometimes you’ll learn our process and end up wanting to do more on your own. We are here to meet your needs.
