JBER - Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson
For military families at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), frequent moves are simply part of life. Every PCS brings the same headaches: too much stuff to pack, boxes that sit unopened for weeks, and families trying to settle in while schedules and routines are already full.
Without clear systems, base housing can feel cluttered almost immediately. Add in new gear for Alaska’s intense seasons, and the stress multiplies.
That’s where Shelf Help comes in. We create practical, judgment-free organizing systems designed for homes on and off base. We help you take control of the chaos so your home supports your lifestyle instead of stressing you out.
What We Organize on JBER
Home Interior Spaces - Including kitchens & pantries, bedrooms & closets, living rooms & common spaces.
Storage Units - If you pay monthly for storage, make sure it's useful storage.
Pre-Move Pairdown — declutter before packing so you only take what matters.
Unpack & Set Up — unbox and organize your new home so it works from day one.
How we help
Home Organization
Kitchens, pantries, closets, playrooms, garages, basements — if it collects clutter, we’ve got a plan. We don’t just tidy up; we create lasting systems that make daily life smoother.
Every project starts with an edit (keep/donate/toss), followed by a smart zone layout so everything has a home.
We’ll recommend or shop for the right containers, handle labeling, and leave you with simple upkeep tips so your space stays stress-free long after we’re gone.
Moving Prep + Unpack
Move with less stress and land with a system that works from day one. Instead of dragging clutter from place to place, we help you cut the excess before the boxes ever get taped shut. Choose from two options:
Pre-Move Edit — declutter and pack smarter so only the essentials come along.
Unpack & Set Up — we unbox, arrange, and organize so your new home flows with ease right from the start.
Perfect for busy families, relocations, or anyone who wants their new chapter to start fresh, not frantic.
Vacation Rental Organization
Make buyers fall in love the moment they walk in. Our team edits, styles, and opens up visual space so your home photographs beautifully and shows even better.
A clean, intentional layout highlights your home’s best features and helps buyers imagine themselves living there. Staging isn’t just about looks—it’s about creating an emotional connection that inspires confident offers and faster sales.

What does Shelf Help do?
Shelf Help is a professional home organization service in Anchorage, Alaska. We help simplify and organize spaces like kitchens, pantries, closets, garages, playrooms, and basements. Our process includes editing (keep/donate/toss), creating zone layouts, recommending or sourcing containers, labeling, and teaching simple upkeep systems.
How much does home organization cost?
Shelf Help bills at $45 per hour with a 3-hour minimum per session. Most single-room projects can be completed in one session, while larger spaces (like garages or whole-home organization) may require multiple visits. Because every project is unique, hourly pricing keeps things flexible and ensures you only pay for the time needed.

If it needs order, we can create a system for it.
Do you provide the bins, baskets, and containers?
Yes. We recommend the right containers for your space and can either provide shopping lists or purchase items on your behalf. We always balance function, budget, and style to make sure your systems last.
