PRESIDENT, Inspired Closets By Organized Spaces
Paul Valley
When I was a teenager, you didn’t have trouble getting me to clean the garage. I can still remember the feeling of a recently swept, completely organized garage – like a breath of fresh air. I am a genuine fan of clean and uncluttered spaces and have found a perfect way of utilizing this passion. In 2001 I decided to help others organize their spaces and I opened my own business . 17 years later, we have a business that has a terrific reputation for quality, service, and creativity.
The team at Inspired Closets By Organized Spaces is a collection of perfectionists, creative artists, and neat freaks that possess amazing attention to detail. We design and install beautiful built in systems that create flexibility, form and function for any room in the home. No matter how complicated or simple your project may be, we can get you organized.
