Renovation Filing System

$67

A renovation runs on paper: three bids per job, a permit, change orders, and a receipt for every tile. Most of it ends up in a pile on the counter until the project's done, and then it's lost.

The Renovation Filing System gives the project a place from day one, so you can compare bids, track contracts, and keep every finish on record while the work is happening.

What's Included

Features Show
  • Compare bids and track contracts in one place
  • Every finish, fixture, and paint color on file
  • Warranties and receipts ready for future repairs
  • Works with any letter-size file box
FAQs Show

Do I need the Linen File Box?

No. Every Orderlee system works in any letter-size hanging file box or drawer. The Linen File Box is designed to hold the system beautifully, but it's optional.

Do the tabs come labeled?

Yes. Each system arrives with pre-labeled tabs and categories, so you're filling a system, not building one.

Can I add another system later?

Anytime. Every system uses the same folders and fits in the same box, so they grow together.

For every quote, choice, and change order along the way.

8 Labeled Dividers

Aesthetically colored to walk you through every stage of your project.

Because your renovation shouldn’t live in a group text.

Quotes in your inbox, receipts in the car, and paint colors on a sticky note work until you need to file a warranty claim or remember exactly which tile you chose. The Renovation Filing System gives every contract, change order, selection, and invoice a home, from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.

Built to work with what you already have.

We want organization to feel beautiful, but we also want it to feel accessible. That’s why the Renovation Filing System is designed to fit any standard hanging file box or cabinet. Pair it with our Linen File Box for the full Orderlee setup, or use a file box you already own.

How It Works

Simple setup. Fewer surprises mid-project.

Add the plastic dividers to your hanging folders, place each pre-labeled tab behind its matching category, and file quotes, contracts, and selections as your project moves along. The change order and purchase trackers keep every cost in one place, and the included instruction card shows you exactly what goes where.

The Perfect Gift

The gift for anyone mid-renovation.

Know someone living in a construction zone? The Renovation Filing System is a practical, thoughtful gift for homeowners taking on a remodel, keeping every quote, contract, selection, and warranty in one place from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.

About the System

What is an Orderlee Filing System?

Orderlee is a pre-labeled filing system that gives every important document a designated home. Each system includes durable plastic dividers, pre-labeled plastic tabs, fillable information sheets, plastic file bags, and box labels. You don't have to invent categories or make labels — just file and go.

Which system is right for me?

Start with the part of life creating the most paper right now.

  • Essentials: the must-keep documents you'd grab in an emergency, like IDs, finances, insurance, medical, and taxes.
  • Home Information: warranties, manuals, repairs, maintenance records, and paint colors.
  • Child Memory: keepsakes from pregnancy through 18, organized by age or by grade.
  • Pregnancy: prenatal records, insurance, leave forms, and the birth plan.
  • Wedding: vendor contracts, receipts, the marriage license, and name change paperwork.
  • Pet: adoption papers, vet and vaccine records, insurance, and microchip info.
  • Renovation: bids, contracts, permits, selections, and receipts while the project is underway.
  • New Build: contracts, selections, change orders, inspections, and final approvals.

Not sure? Essentials is the foundation for every household, and it pairs with any other system.

Can I combine more than one system in the same box?

Yes. Systems are designed to work side by side, and several of our kits and duos pair two systems for exactly this reason. Depending on how much you file, two systems may need a second box or a larger drawer.

Will it work with the file box or drawer I already have?

Yes. Every system fits any standard letter-size hanging file box or file drawer and works with standard hanging file folders. Just make sure your folders have tab slots for the included plastic tabs (most standard folders do).

Is it only for paper, or can I store keepsakes too?

Both. The included plastic file bags hold small or loose items like photos, receipts, paint swatches, or a hospital bracelet, so they stay with the right category instead of floating loose in the box.

Kits, Duos, & Setup

What's the difference between a Filing System, a Filing Duo, and a Complete Filing Kit?
  • Filing System: the pre-labeled tabs, dividers, sheets, bags, and labels. No box or folders.
  • Filing System & Folders: one system plus the white hanging folders it needs. For anyone who already has a box or drawer.
  • Filing Duo: two systems that pair well together. No box or folders.
  • Complete Filing Kit: the whole setup in one order: the system (or two), our Linen File Box, and the white hanging folders it needs.

Every product's "What's Included" section lists exactly what arrives.

Does a filing system come with a file box or hanging folders?

No. A system on its own includes the tabs, dividers, sheets, bags, and labels, so you can use the box and folders you already own. Want the full Orderlee look? Choose a Complete Filing Kit, or add the Linen File Box and Hanging File Folders.

How many hanging folders do I need?

It depends on the system. Each system's product page lists the exact number of folders needed for a full setup. Kits and Filing System & Folders bundles already include the right number, so there's nothing to calculate.

Can I use my own hanging file folders?

Yes. Any standard letter-size hanging folder works, as long as it has slots for the plastic tabs. Our white Hanging File Folders come in packs of 25 or 45 if you want a clean, matching look.

What is the Linen File Box like?

It's a sturdy, linen-covered box with built-in rails for standard hanging folders, black hardware, and a flush-fit lid. It's designed to look like home decor, so it can live on a shelf instead of hidden in a closet.

What is the Child Memory Tab Expansion Pack, and do I need it?

It's optional. The Child Memory system gives each year its own place; the Tab Expansion Pack breaks each year into categories like artwork, school papers, medical, milestones, activities, letters, and special events. Most families start with the stage they're in now and store the tabs for later years until they need them. You can add it to any Child Memory product or the Pregnancy & Child Filing Duo.

Using It

How long does setup take?

Most people set up the structure in under an hour: slide the tabs onto the folders, add the dividers, and place the box labels. Filing your actual paperwork can happen all at once or a little at a time. The categories are already decided, so each document has an obvious place to go.

Do I have to fill every category right away?

No. Start with what you have on hand and add as papers come in. Unused tabs can stay stored until you need them, so you only set up folders for the categories you're actually filling.

What are the fillable information sheets for?

They capture details you'd otherwise have to hunt for, like account numbers, policy contacts, warranty dates, or milestones, in one place at the front of a category. Fill in what's useful to you and skip the rest.

Are the tabs and dividers durable?

Yes. Tabs and dividers are made of durable plastic, not paper or cardstock, so they hold up to years of pulling folders in and out.

Does Orderlee make a good gift?

Yes. It's a thoughtful gift for newlyweds, new homeowners, expecting parents, new pet owners, or anyone who has said "I need to get organized." A Complete Filing Kit is the easiest choice, since it arrives with everything needed to start filing on day one.

Shipping & Ordering

Where do you ship?

Will a Complete Filing Kit arrive in one box?
