At Strickland’s, we live by the numbers. Every day, we take precise window and closet measurements, complete in-depth inventories, and draw up custom designs.  Numbers also drive the need for our products and services. According to the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), about 80 percent of the clutter in your home or office is a result of disorganization, not lack of space.
