How To Get More Room Out Of Your Closets

One of the ways to create more room in a home is to knock down a few walls. Technically, that doesn’t increase the square footage but it does make it seen as though the open flow provides more room. You can also make more room by building in addition to your home. One place where you can’t knock down a wall would be your closet. That is a finite amount of space that is not going to change. However, you can change the interior of that closet to create more room. That requires pulling out all the things that you no longer want and turning them over to the team from Junk King Los Angeles.

Sorting Session

The most effective way to make more room in your closet is to dedicate a sorting session for the task. That will involve taking out every single item and putting it into your bedroom. Once the closet is completely empty, you may want to give it a quick clean out of any dust. Then you will begin the process of putting things back into the closet. This is where you will make the decision whether or not something is worth holding onto.

What you might discover is that you have a lot of outfits that you no longer want to wear. They could also be a lot of old electronics and other household items that you are also in no need of. All of those unwanted items can go into a pile for the Junk King team to pick up. That pick up can happen right on the spot. In other words, you don’t have to carry those items downstairs to have them removed. This can be a big help especially if you are dedicated to clearing out all the closets in your house. The Junk King team can go from room to room and pick up each one of those discard piles. You will certainly appreciate how quickly Junk King will work and how much open space you will now have in your closets.

Getting more room out of your closets needs to involve the team from Junk King Los Angeles. Book your clutter removal session today.

Put Junk King To Work For Your Post-Holiday Clean Up

As you got ready for the holiday you might have put a lot of folks to work and that’s a good thing. They could have been caterers to hire for a big party. There were probably plenty of delivery drop-offs of items you ordered online.  Some folks hire professional decorators to string up the lights around the house. And if you really get overwhelmed, then there are plenty of personal shoppers in Los Angeles that could have helped with clearing out your gift list.

Now that the holiday is over, you have the opportunity to hire one more company to help around the house. That would be Junk King Los Angeles. These are the professional junk haulers who are in the best position to help you with your post-holiday clean up needs.

Good Advice For Back-To-School Prep

When it is back-to-school time, everything around the household changes. Even though summer vacation wasn’t technically that long, it was long enough to forget about what it takes to get up, get ready and get out the door for school. Those challenges are in place whether you’re sending a toddler or a teenager off to school. Here is some good advice you can put into place to make your back-to-school transition run smoother:

back-to-school-183533_1280

Identify Priorities

The older the student, the more opportunities for activities that happen outside of school time. Sports, theater, friends, social media and homework all have to find a way to get squeezed into the day. This is when you need to identify your student’s priorities. They can spend time with all of those activities but not at the detriment of grades. TV shows can be recorded and watched later. Friends can wait until the weekend. The focus should be dedicated time each night for homework. After that, the other things can fall into place.

Social Media Cut Off

Speaking of social media, you need to establish some boundaries with regard to Smartphone use. It should probably be shut off during homework time but also during family meals. In fact, no phone should make an appearance at the dinner table! It is also important to set a curfew for social media. It’s not hard to imagine kids staying up all night texting back and forth. If it becomes a real problem, then perhaps the solution is to surrender all devices at bedtime and retrieve them in the morning.

Ask Questions

As the parent, you’re going to want to find out how their school days are going. The classic “How was school today?” and cliché response, “Fine” might not provide the information you’re really seeking. You’ll want to go deeper and ask questions that provoke better answers like “What kind of challenges did you overcome today?” “Who did you help?” “What is your goal for tomorrow?” There might be some grumbling at first but keep pressing until a dialogue happens.

Remove Clutter

Starting the school year is a clean slate for the kids. It should also be a clean slate around the house. The less clutter, the less distractions. Junk King Los Angeles can prove to be a terrific decluttering partner. All those unwanted items from your kid’s closet, dresser, shelves and bedroom can be gathered up and carted away by Junk King. The same goes for every other room in the house. Make this year’s back-to-school prep one that involves no clutter with help from Junk King Los Angeles.

How To Make Your Home Business A Success

A home business would definitely fit into the category of “small business” but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Remember, Apple Computer started out in a garage. If you’re setting up your home business, then there are some proactive steps you can take to insure success. Here’s what to consider:

apple-1284085_960_720

Promote Your Business

Promotion is a huge part of any business. The fact that you have a home based business could actually be a nice marketing point. After all, you’re keeping costs down by not renting a commercial space. That is something a potential client will appreciate.

Don’t Stay Home

It might seem counterintuitive to become a success with a home business by not staying home. However, there are some times when getting out of the home can benefit the business like meeting clients. You could also rent a conference room for the day to give a presentation. You’re not hiding the fact that you’re working from home; you’re just keeping things professional.

Set Up Outside Post Office Box

It might help to set up an outside post office box for your home business. That allows you to set up a “buffer zone” between your business and family. It can also help if you expect a lot of package deliveries and want to keep them secure.

Set Your Work Schedule the Night Before

Before you shut down the business for the day, you’ll want to plan what happens next. More to the point, what the following day is going to look like. Set a list of priority items that you need to tackle the following morning. This will help you get a jump on the day even without the commute!

Set Up An Office Space

Yes, you can do laundry while working at your home business but you don’t want your office in the laundry room. It also shouldn’t be in the kitchen or living room, either. Any place that is going to have “family traffic” is not a good place for your home office. Perhaps a garage conversion is a good option. To help make that happen, consider setting up a junk removal session with Junk King Los Angeles. The movers who will be assigned to that session will be able to quickly clear away all the unwanted furniture, appliances and boxes of rubbish. That can translate into a lot of open space for an office. Start off your home business in a home without any junk thanks to Junk King Los Angeles.

Tips For Holding An Estate Sale

On any given weekend, you can drive around Los Angeles and find dozens of yard sales happening. However, it is the occasional estate sale that attracts the most attention. This is when an entire home is opened up and every item inside his put up for sale. People will go out of the way to look for estate sales and will most likely show up the very minute you open up “business.” If you are in charge of holding an estate sale, you might want to put a few of these tips into action:

interior-1519595_1280

Write An Inventory

You should have an inventory of all the things you plan on selling as well as the things you won’t be selling. You can divide inventory into categories by room. It might help to list the price you want to charge and what kind of condition you feel these items are in. If you have to do some research on eBay or Craigslist to see what similar items are being sold for.

Fix and Clean

Most of the things that you’re going to be selling will be “as is.” But you could do a quick polish or superglue fix that will help you take something from trash to treasure. Even if it brings in a few extra bucks it is still worth the minimum amount of effort.

Price everything

After you do all your research about the fair market value of what you’re selling, make sure you put a price on everything. You don’t want to waste time guessing as to what you should be selling something for. Keep in mind, that nearly everyone who shows up to buy something is going to haggle over that price. You’re not going to be getting fair market value but instead a depreciated value. That doesn’t mean you have to give things away.

Try to anticipate a good flow

As buyers browse through each room, you don’t want them to get crowded. That’s why you want to keep items in the center or perimeter. Don’t clutter up tables with too much stuff that could block the door. You want to have enough room for people to stand and deliberate without holding everyone else up.

At the end of the day, you may be left with several pieces of furniture and piles of stuff that you have no use for. That’s when you call in Junk King Los Angeles. These are the junk removal professionals who will easily clear out all the unwanted clutter. The best way to handle an estate sale is to book Junk King Los Angeles for the final cleanup.

If you sent one of your kids off to college this fall, then the summer was probably a flurry of activity. You are probably getting them ready packing up their room and stuff, buying things they need for the dorm and having farewell parties.

You’ll absolutely stay in touch with your college student. In fact, it’s a lot easier today than when you were in college. In between the FaceTime sessions, you can get a lot of organizing work done around the house. Here’s where you can refocus your efforts:

messy-closet-jpg-17768-m

The Closets

Whatever your kid needed in college, you probably sent along with them. Anything else that’s been left behind is something they might have outgrown. That’s true for clothing, sporting equipment, toys and books. All those things can be gathered up and donated to a charity. Before you do though you should let your kid know if you are donating anything that they may want to keep.

The good news is that you don’t have to drive around to all those charities with your car overflowing with boxes. Instead, you can turn that job over to Junk King Los Angeles. They make charity drop-offs part of their daily routine and will be happy to do the same for the stuff you want to get rid of.

The Garage

No matter where you live in Los Angeles, space is at a premium. That’s why many garages are a use for storage as opposed to actually parking a car in there. You can change that by dedicating a few hours of sorting through all the clutter in your garage. At the end of that sorting time, you will have amassed a pile of items that can be tossed out.

This is more stuff they can go on to the back of the Junk King truck. Remember, Junk King is going to send over two workers for this task. They will be the ones who will do all the lifting and loading so don’t hesitate to give them the heavy things you want to get rid of like an old treadmill or pool table. One call to Junk King Los Angeles will help you refocus on organizing your home. It’s a call to make!

Prep For Fall By Clearing Out The Clutter

Fall in Los Angeles does not mean extreme changes in the weather. While most of the country might be experiencing cooler days and rainy nights, Los Angeles will more than likely be just as hot and humid as it always is. It’s not until December or January do we see any severe changes in the weather. That doesn’t mean you can’t do some prep work around the house to get ready for the new season. The bulk of that prep work should involve clearing out the clutter. Here’s the areas you should focus on:

15774630_1240985805980972_3223730813852503101_o

Garage

Is your garage primarily for storage or can you still park your car there? Most Los Angeles residents find storage space a premium and use their garage to supplement the lack of closet space. There’s nothing wrong with that unless you are holding onto a lot of useless clutter. It might be a good idea to dedicate a Saturday morning to sorting through everything in your garage. You only have to make two piles: keep or haul away. Of course, you don’t have to do all the hauling yourself. This is a perfect job for Junk King Los Angeles. These are junk removal professionals who have a lot of experience clearing out clutter from garages all across the city. They’ll back the truck right up to your garage door and load everything up in a very short amount of time.

Once all that clutter is gone, you’ll be able to organize the things you’re holding onto. This will make finding things like holiday decorations and other household goods a lot easier.

Closet

Just as you should fill up your garage with unwanted clutter, you also shouldn’t way space in your closet with things you know you’re not going to use. A good test is the one-year rule. If you haven’t worn an outfit in over year, then there is a good chance that outfit might not be want to get. The Junk King crews will collect all the things you’re piling up from your closets throughout the house. You don’t have to bring anything down from upstairs.

Cupboards

This is also a good time of year to go through all your kitchen cupboards and pull out the stuff you’re not using. You may discover long-lost gadgets. It might also be expired can goods that should be tossed out in the garbage. The rest of the clutter can be turned over to Junk King Los Angeles.

Your home will look and feel a lot better this fall once all the unwanted clutter is hauled away by Junk King Los Angeles.
