Client Testimonials


"Michael is simply the best. I am so greatful and impressed with his services. Rarely does one experience such a generosity. A thousand thanks Michael."

Ximena V., New York, NY

"Michael Nowlan is a quick study. Efficient and bright, he rapidly
assesses the problem and convinces the client that the task is not
difficult. He digs in and doesn't waste a second. He's worked with
me to clear much clutter and to identify and file the valuable stuff.
Best of all, he's a motivator and an extremely cheerful presence
who's a respectful, generous pleasure to be around."

Jerelle Kraus, Art Director, The New York Times Weekend sections, Author

"I used Michael Nowlan for clutter clearing services. He was fast, efficient, courteous, helpful. This was my first time utilizing this type of service and I was a little apprehensive about having a stranger in my home helping me rake through years of my personal life. He was respectful but persistent and helped me get the job done."

Jean G, New York, NY

"Michael is a pleasure to work with: he's friendly, punctual, reliable, conscientious, with a discerning eye. Highly recommended!"

Liz and Mark, Brooklyn, New York

Dear Michael....I am sitting in my apartment reflecting what it used to look like before Dwayne Norman gave me your card...Thank God I made the call to you...I could never have accomplished what I now know as my home without you and your attention to detail..I am most impressed with the way you interviewed me and analyzed my, then, situation and completely changed the way I viewed horded books, papers, and other useless items, which have been removed from my apartment giving way to this beautiful creation I am now sitting in...Thank You so much, and I will absolutely follow your advice to having you spend a day with me every 6 months to make sure I don't fall back in to my old habits......According to the Feng Shui principles in clearing clutter from my home and establishing the correct energy fields, I find myself more in tune with my career and my personal life...I have actually for the first time in many years started having dinner parties...I would never have done that before....You saved me from myself.

Michael Thank You!

Our apartment went from cluttered mess to an aura of positive spiritual
energy and space. Recommended very highly to anyone who is paralyzed by
indecision and 'organizational dimentia.'

Post marital clutter graced our Chelsea apartment in all the wrong ways.
Wedding gifts were still in their boxes piled on top of the cupboard.
Generations of clothes were stuffed in my closet - I held on to each one with
blind abandon. The bookshelf was stacked with plays and texts, skeletal
remnants from my past acting career. The furniture was truly out of order,
sucking our space.

Michael gave us back our apartment.  We brought tons of stuff to Housing
Works, and he switched the piano and the day bed. He made space for us to
breathe and came up with a creative way to hang an album.

Grazie Michael!

Paolina and Joel, New York

Michael:

Thank you so much. The apartment looks and feels great. The apartment looks better now than when I first lived there ten years ago and has made it much more desirable as a furnished rental property in the future.

It is a pleasure to return home. Good luck with your endeavors.

"Friends used to tell me I had a great apartment, but it looked like I had just moved in (six years after I had already moved in) with boxes, papers, books, and stuff everywhere. One friend in particular said that the only reason why I was always going out was because I had not created a comfortable, relaxing home.

Michael changed all of that. When I first met Michael, I was about to spend over six figures on an architect to redo my place. Michael convinced me to drop my architect and work with the existing layout and furnishings in my apartment, and resourced a selection of appropriate new furnishings for my home - all for a fraction of how much it would have cost.

He organized my apartment, helped me get rid of all of the junk lying around, and created a workspace, dining area, place where I could practice my music, a beautiful outdoor terrace, artwork for the wall (he painted all of this to fit the style for my apartment), and installed all of these Feng Shui enhancements to my apartment. Plus, we took everything that was being replaced to charity, in which I got a great tax deduction.

Now, I never want to leave. I love staying home and just enjoying my apartment. And, the positive energy inspired me to start playing the violin again.

Thanks, Michael."
