Valley Cottage homeowners count on Odds & Ends for the kind of work that makes a real difference — updated bathrooms, refinished decks, fresh paint, and the dozens of smaller repairs that keep a home running smoothly. We've been serving this Clarkstown hamlet for years and our work speaks for itself.
Why Local Homeowners Choose Odds & Ends
Valley Cottage is the kind of neighborhood where homeowners take pride in their properties and want improvements done right. We share that mindset. Our team has worked on homes throughout the hamlet — along Route 303, near Lake DeForest, and up into the hillside neighborhoods. We deliver clean, professional results and stand behind every project.
The Local Advantage
Valley Cottage sits in a natural valley in the Town of Clarkstown, with Lake DeForest to the south and the hillside climbing toward High Tor to the east. The hamlet's wooded lots and proximity to water create a pleasant living environment but also accelerate exterior wear — decks, fences, and painted surfaces need attention more frequently than in drier areas. The housing stock is solidly mid-century, and many homes are at the prime age for updates.

Local Knowledge
Local Housing & Neighborhoods
Valley Cottage is dominated by ranches, capes, and split-levels built from the late 1950s through the 1970s, with some newer infill construction. Homes near the lake tend to be smaller and older, while those on the hillside are a mix of mid-century and newer builds. Most lots are a quarter-acre to a third of an acre. Decks, patios, and above-ground pools are common additions.

Local Tips & Permit Info
Valley Cottage is within the Town of Clarkstown for permits and inspections. Homes near Lake DeForest should be aware of the reservoir buffer zone — check setback requirements before planning any exterior projects near the water. The wooded lots mean gutters clog frequently; consider adding gutter guards during any exterior maintenance project. Many mid-century homes here have original single-pane windows — upgrading even a few key windows can make a noticeable difference in comfort and energy costs.
