5-Star Rated

Est. 2001

Upper Nyack homeowners appreciate the village's quiet, tree-lined character — and they need a handyman service that matches that sensibility. Odds & Ends brings thoughtful, detail-oriented work to every project here, from restoring original woodwork to building new decks that take advantage of those Hudson River views.

Why Local Homeowners Choose Odds & Ends

Upper Nyack's homes are special — from the Victorian-era properties near Old Mill Road to the mid-century moderns tucked into the hillside. We treat each home with the respect it deserves, carefully matching existing materials and finishes rather than taking shortcuts. Our work in Upper Nyack has earned us referrals that span generations of homeowners.

The Local Advantage

Upper Nyack climbs the hillside above its more commercial neighbor, with winding roads, mature trees, and homes that range from pre-Civil War era to contemporary. The village's elevation provides stunning Hudson River and Hook Mountain views, but it also means sloped lots, challenging access for materials delivery, and drainage concerns that flat-lot builders never think about. Older homes here frequently have plaster walls, narrow doorways, and non-standard framing that requires a craftsman's touch.

Local Knowledge

Local Housing & Neighborhoods

Upper Nyack's housing ranges from stately Victorian and Colonial Revival homes near the village center to mid-century ranches and capes on the hillside, along with some contemporary and modern builds that capitalize on the views. Many homes have been renovated over the decades but retain original character. Lots are heavily wooded and often steeply graded, making outdoor construction more complex but visually rewarding.

Local Tips & Permit Info

Upper Nyack has its own village building department, separate from the Town of Clarkstown. Permits and inspections run through the village directly, and the process can be more involved for exterior changes visible from historic corridors. Hook Mountain's shadow affects the western-facing homes — moss and algae growth on decks and siding is common and requires regular cleaning. The narrow, winding roads mean larger material deliveries need advance planning.
