When Jennefer Flood left her 15-year career as a paralegal in New York City to move to Northeast Florida with her family, she knew it was time to pursue a career that truly aligned with her passions.
Flood opened Organized & Done about two and a half years ago to chase a lifelong fascination with organization. She took courses, became a certified home stager, and got involved with the community to make her dream of starting an organizing business come true.
“It’s nice to give back and to be a part of the community,” said Flood. “Nice to see the community embrace this field.”
Organized & Done is a one-stop shop for organizing, decluttering, packing, and unpacking services. The business employs a four-step system to ensure a client’s satisfaction with everything from simple projects such as organizing a pantry to more complex projects such as moving homes.
During a moving service, Flood and her business partner, Mairenny Peragine, will stick with a client from the beginning of their journey all the way to their new home. First, the team will go in and declutter the existing space. Then, they’ll pack the home with a color-coded packing system, providing the client with a content list that makes it easy to find important items. If the client is selling their home, Flood and Peragine will stage the space to make it appealing to new buyers. Lastly, the Organized & Done team will assist with unpacking, organizing, and/or redesigning the new home. No stone is left unturned.
Peragine, a member of Flood’s family and close confidant, joined her at Organized & Done just a few short months ago, although the two always envisioned opening a business together. Peragine comes from a background in visual merchandising, which was put to good use when the two opened Staged & Done, a DBA of Organized & Done.
“I thought what Jennefer was doing with organizing was special, so I followed her and brought my background in visual merchandising into it,” Peragine said.
Although Organized & Done offers a wide array of services at a wide array of prices, they pride themselves on being affordable to anyone in the community. The Organized & Done team will purchase new equipment and staging pieces for a client who requests it, but in other scenarios, Peragine and Flood are happy to work with what a client already has.
“Sometimes people already have the resources, they just need a little push,” Peragine said.
Senior services are among Flood’s favorite clients, where the Organized & Done team’s goal is to provide a safer home environment that allows senior citizens to manage their belongings.
“It’s nice to help those who have limitations and can’t help themselves,” Flood said. “I love helping our seniors stay in their homes longer by making it more functional for them.”
