Dobbs Ferry sits on the east bank of the Hudson, a small village of Victorian and Craftsman homes climbing the hills above Broadway. The Old Croton Aqueduct Trail runs through town, Mercy College brings energy to the center, and the Metro-North Hudson Line makes it a true commuter village. The housing stock is old and treasured — plaster walls, hardwood floors, and porches that have weathered a century of river air. We repair plaster walls in these older homes without cutting corners.

Dobbs Ferry's homes need a handyman who understands vintage construction. We've repaired porch railings on Victorian cottages steps from the Hudson, hung gallery walls in Craftsman bungalows, and assembled nursery furniture for young families settling near the school district. In a village this size neighbors talk — our reputation is built job by job.
"We have an 1890s Victorian in Dobbs Ferry that needed trim repair and fresh paint in two rooms. Here Handyman was respectful of the home's history and the work was beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone in the village."
Dobbs Ferry is a small, beloved village on the east bank of the Hudson River, known for its walkable downtown along Broadway and Cedar Street, its arts scene, and its beautifully preserved Victorian and Craftsman architecture. Mercy College's main campus gives the village a youthful energy, while longtime families have lived in the same homes for generations.
Many Dobbs Ferry homes are 80 to 130 years old, which means skilled maintenance and respect for original materials. The Old Croton Aqueduct Trail and several river parks make it one of the county's most livable small villages — and one where referrals travel fast.
