Putnam Valley is home for us, so storm calls here get answered fast. Roofing, chimney, and masonry on the lake cottages and wooded lots around Oscawana and Roaring Brook.
Putnam Valley is Putnam County's largest town by area, and the one VT1 calls home. It is a heavily wooded landscape of small lake communities carved out around Lake Oscawana, Roaring Brook Lake, and Lake Peekskill. Roughly a third of the town sits inside Clarence Fahnestock State Park, and the Appalachian Trail crosses it end to end. Many of the original lake cottages were built for summer use and later winterized, which means roofs and chimneys here are often older than they look from the road.
Services in This Town
Every VT1 service, scoped to what homes in Putnam Valley actually need.
Putnam Valley's lake cottages, many built decades ago as seasonal camps, carry roofing that's outlived its intended lifespan. We handle full tear-offs and replacements on these wooded, often steep-pitched lots around Lake Oscawana and Roaring Brook Lake, along with the flashing work shaded, tree-covered roofs tend to need.
Wood-burning fireplaces are common in Putnam Valley's older lake cottages, and many of their masonry chimneys haven't been inspected in years. We repoint, reline, and rebuild chimneys throughout the town, from Tompkins Corners to the shoreline around Lake Oscawana.
Steep, rocky, heavily wooded lots are the norm in Putnam Valley, and they put real stress on retaining walls, steps, and foundations near the water. We build and repair brick, block, and stone masonry designed to hold up on terrain like this.
Local Conditions
Putnam Valley's tree cover is dense even by Putnam County standards, which keeps roofs shaded, damp, and prone to moss and algae growth long after a storm has passed. Many homes near Lake Oscawana and Roaring Brook Lake started as seasonal cottages with roofing never sized for year-round New York winters, and that combination shows up as premature wear and ice damming.
Permits & Licensing
Putnam Valley is unincorporated, so the town government itself issues residential building permits. VT1 pulls any permit a roofing, chimney, or masonry project requires before work begins.

We had the roof on our home in Chappaqua completely replaced, and I couldn't be happier with the experience and the final result. Ervin was amazing from beginning to end — extremely professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. His crew did an incredible job. They worked efficiently, paid attention to every detail, and were extremely clean and respectful of our property. With such a large roofing project, I was expecting a big mess, but they kept everything organized and made sure the property was cleaned up beautifully. The difference in the before and after is incredible. The new roof looks beautiful, and the quality of the workmanship really shows. I would absolutely recommend Ervin and his team to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional roofing company. Excellent work, excellent service, and a great experience from start to finish. 10/10!
