What does Hudson Ally do?
We are William and Amanda, a local husband-and-wife team. We handle routine and deep cleaning, home maintenance, repairs and handyman work, upgrades and small renovations, and home watch for second homes. We are your partners in anything home-related.
Where does Hudson Ally work?
Orange County and Sullivan County in New York and Pike County in Pennsylvania, including Middletown, Goshen, Warwick, Monroe, Chester, Newburgh, Port Jervis, Monticello, Wurtsboro, Milford, Matamoras, Dingmans Ferry, Hemlock Farms and Lords Valley.
Who shows up at my house?
The two of us, William and Amanda. The same two faces from the estimate to the finish, every time.
Are you insured?
Yes. Hudson Ally, LLC is fully insured. If you need a certificate of insurance for your property or HOA, just ask and we will get it to you.
Are estimates free?
Yes. We come out, walk the home with you and give you a written quote.
Do you mark up materials?
No. You pay exactly what we pay for materials.
How much experience do you have?
Between us, 20+ years of renovation and cleaning experience. We are also a family of 7 with two dogs and a cat, so we know how real households work.
Can one company really clean and repair my home?
Yes. Most companies either clean or fix. We do both, so the same people who clean your home can spot and fix small problems before they get expensive.
Do you look after second homes and lake houses?
Yes. Home watch visits with photo reports, seasonal open and close, cleans before you arrive, and repairs when something comes up. This is common for our clients in Pike and Sullivan counties.
Do you have pets? Are you OK with mine?
We have two dogs and a cat, so pets do not bother us. Just tell us anything we should know about yours.
How do I get started?
Call or text 845-283-3312, email william@hudsonally.com, or use the form on our website. We will set up a free estimate.
Routine & Deep Cleaning
How much does house cleaning cost?
It depends on the size of the home, how often you want us and what you want covered. We give you a free estimate and a flat written price per visit, with no surprises.
What is the difference between routine and deep cleaning?
A routine clean keeps kitchens, bathrooms, floors and surfaces clean on a schedule. A deep clean adds detail work like baseboards, inside cabinets, inside the oven and fridge, and built-up grime, and is usually the first visit or a once-in-a-while reset.
Who actually comes to clean?
We do. William and Amanda are the same two faces from the estimate to the finish. No rotating crews and no strangers.
Home Maintenance & Seasonal Open/Close
What does home maintenance include?
Filters, detector batteries, bulbs, caulk and grout touch-ups, weatherstripping, single-story gutter checks, and seasonal open and close for lake and second homes.
Can you open and close our lake house for the season?
Yes. We air it out, clean it, turn water on or off, check systems and secure it, and send photos.
Repairs & Handyman
What kind of repairs do you take on?
Doors, trim, drywall patches, paint touch-ups, fixtures, hardware, shelves, mounts, small carpentry and punch lists. If it is bigger, we will tell you honestly and can quote it as an upgrade.
Do you mark up materials?
No. Materials are billed at exactly what we pay.
Can you fix things and clean in the same visit?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons people call us.
Upgrades & Small Renovations
What size projects do you do?
Small renovations and upgrades: bathroom and kitchen refreshes, interior painting, trim, doors, drywall, shelving and small carpentry. We will be honest if a job needs a specialist.
Do you clean up after renovation work?
Yes. Cleaning is part of what we do, so the space is clean when we leave.
Home Watch
What is home watch?
Scheduled visits to an empty or second home while you are away. We walk the inside and outside, check for leaks, heat, freezing, storm damage, pests and break-in signs, run water, and send you a photo report every visit.
What happens if you find a problem?
You hear from us right away with photos. Because we also do repairs, we can usually fix it the same day with your OK.
How often should a second home be checked?
Weekly is safest in winter, when a frozen pipe can do real damage in days. Every other week works for many homes the rest of the year. We help you pick at the walkthrough.
