The Catskill, NY Local Service Guide

Catskill is our Greene County anchor — the county seat at the gateway to the Catskill Mountains, directly across the Hudson from Hudson, NY. Crews are based close enough that everything within roughly a 25-minute radius of Main Street is standard service area, with no travel surcharge.

• Catskill village (12414) — restored Main Street homes, Thomas Cole-era historic properties, and village side streets
• Athens & Coxsackie — riverfront homes and village properties along the Hudson
• Cairo — country homes and weekend properties in the northern foothills
• Palenville, Round Top & Tannersville — the mountain-rental corridor serving the Hunter / Windham ski area, one of our busiest STR zones
• Hudson — directly across the river via the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, same team and same pricing

If you're just outside this radius — farther up the mountaintop or deeper into Greene County — request a quote and we'll confirm coverage. The full town-by-town list lives on our service areas page.

Before the visit

Every booking collects your property details, access instructions (key, lockbox, or door code — most Catskill clients aren't home during service), and a priorities list. You get a confirmed arrival window, and quotes typically come back within the hour during business hours. There are no contracts — recurring plans can be cancelled anytime.

Arrival and walkthrough

Your assigned, background-checked team arrives in the confirmed window with all supplies and equipment. On a first visit they do a short walkthrough against your priorities list — noting delicate finishes, antiques, or rooms to skip — then work top-down, room by room: kitchens and baths first, then living areas, floors, and dusting throughout.

Products and finishes

All products are plant-based, non-toxic, biodegradable, and septic-safe — chosen specifically for the Greene County homes on private wells and septic, and gentle on the original floors, plaster, and restored millwork in Catskill's historic Main Street properties. Nothing acidic, nothing that hazes antique finishes.

Timing

• Standard clean, 1–2 bedrooms: about 2–3 hours
• Standard clean, 3 bedrooms: about 3–4 hours
• Deep cleans and STR turnovers run longer depending on scope — hot tub or wood stove care, linen swap, and restocking add time

After the clean

You receive a completion note when the team leaves. STR turnovers include photo documentation and a damage report after every reset. The same team is assigned to your home visit after visit, and every engagement is backed by $1M liability coverage.

Catskill is priced on the Hudson Valley flat-rate card — confirmed before work begins, with no surprises on the day.

Homes larger than 3 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms are quoted individually. Recurring weekly, biweekly, and monthly clients pay a lower rate. All prices are estimates; final pricing may be slightly higher or lower depending on the condition of the property on the day of service, and we always confirm your final rate before work begins. Full details on the pricing page.

Which areas around Catskill, NY do you serve?

Catskill village (12414), Athens, Cairo, Coxsackie, and the mountain-rental corridor through Palenville, Round Top, and Tannersville — plus Hudson directly across the Hudson River via the Rip Van Winkle Bridge. Roughly a 25-minute radius from Main Street across central Greene County.

Flat-rate standard cleaning is $150 (1 bed / 1 bath), $225 (2 bed / 2 bath), and $330 (3 bed / 3 bath). Deep cleans run $195–$455 and Airbnb / STR turnovers $170–$375. Homes larger than 3 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms are quoted individually. Prices are estimates confirmed before work begins; recurring weekly, biweekly, and monthly clients pay a lower rate.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

No. Most Catskill clients — especially second-home owners and STR hosts — aren't on site. We collect access instructions (key, lockbox, or door code) at booking, send arrival confirmation, and follow your written priorities list. You get a completion note when the team leaves, and turnovers include photo documentation.

What cleaning products do you use? Are they safe for septic systems and well water?

Plant-based, non-toxic, biodegradable, and septic-safe products — important for the many Greene County country and mountain homes on private wells and septic. Nothing acidic, so they're also safe on the original floors, plaster, and antique finishes common in Catskill's Thomas Cole-era homes.

How long does a clean take?

A standard clean for a 1–2 bedroom Catskill village home typically takes 2–3 hours; a 3-bedroom home 3–4 hours. Deep cleans and STR turnovers run longer depending on scope — hot tub or wood stove care, linen swap, and restocking add time. We confirm your expected window when the booking is scheduled.

Can you handle same-day Airbnb turnovers between guests?

Yes — the Greene County mountain corridor (Palenville, Round Top, Tannersville, and the Hunter / Windham ski area) is one of our busiest STR zones. Same-day resets between checkout and check-in, linen swap, restocking of coffee / paper goods / toiletries, hot tub and wood stove care, and a photo damage report after every turnover.

Do you clean Catskill's historic Main Street homes differently?

Yes. Mid-19th-century Main Street and side-street homes get gentle handling: original floors, plaster walls, and restored millwork are cleaned with plant-based, non-acidic products chosen safe for antique finishes — nothing that will haze old wax or shellac.

Do you offer commercial cleaning on Main Street?

Yes — after-hours cleaning for Catskill Main Street businesses, galleries, offices, and restaurants, typically scheduled evenings or early mornings so crews are out before opening. Nightly, weekly, and post-event options available.
