The renovation is finished and the house goes on the market in two weeks. We clean out the dust and get every room ready for the photographer.
Rye is a small city on Long Island Sound, right next to Port Chester and a short hop over the line from Greenwich. I-95 runs through it, and I-287 meets I-95 at the Rye and Port Chester line, which makes it one of the easiest places in Westchester to reach from our side of the border.
Downtown is compact. Purchase Street has the shops, cafes and small offices, and the Metro-North station on the New Haven Line is a short walk away. Toward the water, Rye Playland is the county-owned amusement park and a National Historic Landmark, with the beach and the Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary beside it.
Most of Rye is houses: colonials, Tudors and shingle-style homes on tree-lined streets, with larger waterfront properties out on Milton Point and along the shore toward Greenhaven, near the Mamaroneck line.
ZIP 10580 · Westchester County, New York · About Rye
Rye houses are mostly older and well kept, and a lot of them get renovated rather than replaced. That means post-construction cleaning in a lived-in setting: dust gets into the rooms nobody touched, and plaster dust from older walls is finer than modern drywall dust.
Near the water, salt film on the glass and sand in the entryways come with the address. Downtown, the offices and shops on Purchase Street are small, so a recurring clean is quick but has to fit around opening hours.
A Rye listing has to show well, and buyers here look closely. We clear what's left in the basement, attic and garage, clean every room and coordinate cosmetic touch-ups before the photos. Rich holds a real estate license and walks the house the way a buyer's agent will.

Kitchen and bath renovations, additions and full gut jobs in older Rye houses leave fine dust in places like radiator covers, window weights and built-in shelving. We clean in passes, rough first and detail after, so the house is ready for the owner's walk-through.

Small offices, medical suites and shops on Purchase Street and the side streets near the station can book a recurring clean with us. We agree a checklist after a walk-through and time the visits before you open or after you close.

Waterfront homes out on Milton Point and the larger houses near the shore have stone counters, custom woodwork and a lot of glass. We walk the house first, note the finishes and use products that suit them, so nothing gets scratched or streaked.
