Dobbs Ferry handyman work moves between several distinct building eras inside one village. Pre-war colonials and Tudors fill the hillside neighborhoods (1920s plaster, original lath, ornate trim), mid-century Capes and ranches dominate the central streets (1960s drywall, dated kitchens), and modern condos cluster near the Metro-North station. Odds & Ends has handled all three since Dan Kiely founded the company in 2001. From our Rockland County base, we make the run across the Mario Cuomo Bridge to jobs on Cedar Street, Walnut Street, the Palisade Street corridor, and around the Mercy College campus. 25+ years of working with everything from 1920s plaster to contemporary construction means the right tool comes out the first time. $1 million general liability policy, free estimates.
Why Local Homeowners Choose Odds & Ends
Dobbs Ferry is a village where families put down roots — and that means homes need to work hard and look good year after year. We understand the practical side of home maintenance as well as the aesthetic side, and we bring that balanced approach to every project. We're a short drive from our Rockland County base across the Mario Cuomo Bridge, and we've built a growing list of Dobbs Ferry clients who call us back because we do what we say we'll do.
The Local Advantage
Dobbs Ferry's housing stock reflects several distinct building eras — pre-war colonials and Tudors in the hillside neighborhoods, mid-century Cape Cods and ranches along the village's central streets, and modern condos near the Metro-North station. This variety means we regularly transition between working on 1920s plaster and lathe, 1960s drywall and paneling, and contemporary construction — all within the same village.
