ZIMMER BROTHERS JEWELERS Poughkeepsie
This Raymond Avenue mainstay has been selling all types of jewelery for a whopping 120 years — so you can bet that they’ve seen their share of rocks in that time. The company carries loose stones from four different brands. And every diamond purchase comes with the Zimmer Brothers Promise: They’ll replace your stone, free of charge, if it is lost or damaged within one year of purchase. 845-454-6360; www.zimmerbrothers.com
WILLIAMS LUMBER & HOME CENTERS Various Locations
Another of the Valley’s long-standing family-owned companies (67 years and counting), Williams is the go-to place for do-it-yourselfers as well as professional contractors. All their lumber is personally inspected to ensure only the highest quality products make it to their sales floor. And with eight locations — from Hopewell Junction to Tannersville — buying all the supplies you need for your next project is a snap. www.williamslumber.com
PINE BUSH EQUIPMENT Pine Bush
The Boniface family knows big-boy toys better than anybody else. But it’s really their commitment to customer service that makes PBE the local place to visit if you need to buy or rent a tractor, trailer, backhoe, or other machine. Three locations make it super convenient, too. 845-744-2006; www.pbegroupinc.com
N&S SUPPLY Various Locations
Faucets and fixtures may not be sexy, but we all need them, and you may well fall in love with the extensive inventory at this longtime Valley business, which now has four state-of-the-art showrooms. They also specialize in heating supplies and even offer a wide variety of environmentally friendly products. 845-331-6700; www.nssupply.com
SUN PAINT & DESIGN Poughkeepsie, Fishkill
Wallpaper is back in a big way, and this popular decor center is just bursting with a huge selection of gorgeous wall coverings and paints. You can browse one of three showrooms or turn to their highly knowledgeable staff to help pick the perfect product to enhance your home. And once you have the walls all sorted out, you can turn your attention to your windows: Sun has a huge inventory of blinds and shades, too. 845-471-2880; www.sunwallpaperandpaint.com
GEORGE COLE AUCTIONS & REALTY Red Hook
Going once… going twice… sold! For more than 30 years, George Cole Auctions has been the Valley’s premier auction house. These adroit auctioneers sell everything from antiques and art to cars, boats, and real estate. If you can’t make it to the site, there is even an option to sell your belongings online. And if you’re too attached to that family heirloom to sell it — but would love to know what it’s worth — the company does appraisals. 845-758-9114; www.georgecoleauctions.com

HALF TIME BEVERAGE Poughkeepsie
Stocking more than 3,000 brews from around the globe, this warehouse-style shop located on Route 9 has long been a mecca for beer buffs near and far. The unique tag system, developed by owner Alan Daniels, breaks the selections down by hops and color. Shoppers are also enticed by a dozen different “beer of the month” clubs, weekly tastings, 12 beers on draft, and the ability to create a case by mixing and matching different brands. The extensive online shop allows you to browse brews 24 hours a day. Look for the giant new Mamaroneck store — it’s more than double the size of the original — to open its doors by mid-November. 845-462-5400; www.halftimebeverage.com
