“Well organized, but recently they haven’t been as well stocked. Some of the tools are good for the price, especially for DIY projects or light-to-moderate use. If you know what you’re buying and stick to their better product lines, you can get solid value without overspending. Look out for the parking lot sales — that’s where the real deals are. The coupons and membership discounts can make a noticeable difference. Staff is generally helpful, and the return process is straightforward. Just make sure to check inventory online before making a trip since popular items tend to sell out quickly.”

“We purchased our carpeting at Worldwide Flooring. There was a vast selection of carpeting available. They also had an extensive inventory of remnants to choose from. We had 4 rooms carpeted at different times. We found one team of installers to be better than the other. We also found it best to have the rooms cleared of furniture prior to installation. The special order carpet arrived in a timely manner and we were pleased with the job.”

“There’s just something about walking into a place like this — whether it’s a True Value or an Ace — that instantly takes you back. Not in a dusty, outdated way… but in that warm, familiar way. Like being a kid again, wandering the aisles of a hardware store with your dad or your uncle while they hunted down parts for their latest DIY project. That’s exactly how this location feels. It’s amazing what you can still find here. The drawers of random screws and bolts. The “I didn’t even know I needed that” gadgets. (yes we all need a crumb catcher in the image of our farorite 4-legged friend) The tools that feel solid in your hand. It’s the best kind of treasure hunt — practical, nostalgic, and oddly comforting. Yes, sometimes prices might look a touch higher at first glance — but honestly? Not by much. By the time you order online, pay shipping, and wait for a box wrapped in layers of cardboard, you’re right back at the same cost. And here, you get something Amazon can’t deliver: real help. The staff here is beyond. Knowledgeable. Patient. Actually interested in solving your problem instead of just pointing you to an aisle. That kind of service is becoming rare. Places like this are slowly disappearing, and we need to support them while we still can. Skip the extra packaging, save a couple of trees, and walk into your local hardware store. Especially this one.”

“Great shopping experience. Called to check if product was available, and had Michael, a cool guy, tell me it was available and even had it ready for us when we got there.”
277 Central Ave, Clark NJ 07066
“Skip shopping at big corporates and go to Bartell! I can’t say enough good things about this store! With a major snowstorm coming, I called asking if they had any salt in their inventory and there was, and the owner saved me the last bag (without me asking). To top it off, the staff graciously helped load it into my car so I could get home safely. This is exactly why it’s so important to shop local—you just don’t get this kind of thoughtful, proactive service anywhere else. Highly recommend!”

2750 Veterans Rd W, Staten Island NY 10309
“Highly recommend. Chris is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, responsive to emails, and considering the cost of plants, reasonably priced to have a home visit to save plants rather than trying to replace them if they go. And imparts so much knowledge that I feel better prepared to provide ongoing care”

“I just wanted to leave this amazing review thanks to the outstanding customer service we received from Eddie Carreras for a flooring project we set up with the Home Depot. His kind demeanor, extensive knowledge, and eager follow ups allowed our install to be done perfectly despite some delays from the installer. My grandmother will only deal with him for any further projects to ensure smooth and painless home renovation!! He was patient with us and lead us through the whole process seamlessly.”

“I had a great experience at General Plumbing Supply in Green Brook Township. The guys behind the counter were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional. They took the time to answer all my questions, made sure I had the right materials for the job, and even offered helpful suggestions that saved me time and money. It’s not always easy finding customer service like that anymore, but these guys genuinely care and know their stuff. Fast, efficient, and friendly every time I’ve been there. Highly recommend them to anyone in the trade or tackling a home project!”
28 South St, New Providence NJ 07974
“I'm glad I used Google to find this location. My husband only want to use Benjamin Moore paint and this location has the paint and all the extras that you will need. I parked in the front but there is even more parking spaces in the back. The staff was friendly. The lady that helped me did everything from getting the paint, ringing me up and even brought the two 5 gallons of paint directly to the car and placed them inside ?. She lifted the gallons up effortlessly. When I got home I thought I could do the same thing. No! My neighbors Ring camera probably recorded my struggle. ? I will let the contractor remove the remaining gallon from the car.”

“I guess a few years ago they changed the formula for their pigments, and last year I came here and bought the paint that a lot of my house was done in, but it didn’t match at all. I didn’t use it, and brought it back almost a year later, along with a sample of my existing paint, and they matched it most excellently without any additional charge. The woman who helped me was extremely nice, and definitely earned my return business. Thanks for your help. It’s a near perfect match.”
65 3rd St, Elizabeth NJ 07206
“The store itself is very well lit, and the layout is easy to understand. The staff are bilingual, friendly, and knowledgeable. IF... you can get a parking spot in this section of Elizabeth, then this place is better than driving to Home Depot, or Lowe's. I'm glad I found them.”
300 South Park Ave, Linden NJ 07036
“Harbor Freight is a good place to shop if you're looking for a better price than you might find at Home Depot or Lowe's. Of course it needs to be mentioned when it comes to selecting tools, quality does matter and you would be surprised the quality of tools at Harbor Freight. The thing I would like to mention why you're purchasing a tool, if you're a contractor and you're going to be using that tool daily to make a living Home Depot or Lowe's may offer better quality but if you're an avid handy person Harbor Freight Tools may very well serve you well.”
