“I’ve been really happy with my experience with Penn Tool Co. I found exactly what I was looking for, and the whole ordering process was simple and hassle-free. My order arrived on time and was well packaged, and the quality was exactly what I was hoping for. It’s always nice to deal with a company that makes the process easy from start to finish. I’ll definitely keep Penn Tool Co. in mind for my future tool purchases and would be happy to recommend them to others.”

“I had a fantastic experience with American Royal Hardware in Montclair, New Jersey. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to help. I needed several solid brass poles cut down to custom sizes, and they took the time to assist me with precision and care. What stood out most was their commitment to customer service and their generosity toward the local community. It’s refreshing to find a locally owned hardware store where people still go above and beyond to help their customers. Thanks again Roy!”

“A long time customer because of the level and quality of customer care I always received on everything that is Benjamin Moore paint. Unbeknownst to me, Red Star is also a certified Hunter Douglass provider. Ryan was instrumental in guiding us on their service offering and even came to our house to discuss our vision for the space. He in turn put us in the hands of Vic who is a certified window treatment installer and executes his craft seriously and with care. I cannot diminish how impressed we were with the service, installation, quality of product and the customer after care. I recommend Red Star, this team in particular, and all of their offerings.”

“Renata was absolutely wonderful to work with during our kitchen renovation. She helped us select the perfect sink, kitchen faucet and water filtration dispenser faucet. Now that the project is complete, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. What stood out most was Renata’s professionalism, patience, kindness, and genuine care throughout the entire process. She listened to what we wanted, offered thoughtful guidance, and made us feel supported from beginning to end. She is truly exceptional at what she does and a tremendous asset to her team. Every time we walk into our new kitchen, we’ll remember the important role she played in helping bring our vision to life. Renata deserves every accolade. Five stars for Renata without hesitation!”

“MHS never disappoints. They are extremely knowledgeable about everything/problem I have ever brought to them. Rarely do they not have what I need, but the one time they didn't have in stock what I needed, they told me exactly what to buy and had me take a picture of the specs.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“On both visits to decide on what paint color I would like the older lady that was there was very helpful and knew her stuff and was nice with everyone including me.I decided to get a sample because I couldn't make up my mind what color I wanted. Well the sample helped out and I love the color so I went back a second time and there were two gentlemen there and they were very helpful and friendly.Very good customer service at the paint counter.”

“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.”

“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.”
204 Harrison Avenue, Harrison NJ 07029
“Visited the store to check out kitchen cabinet options. Mary was EXTREMELY helpful. She was knowledgeable, friendly, showed us different options without pressuring us into any specific brand. She went above and beyond to give us different ideas. Have been to multiple cabinet stores and by far she was the most helpful.”
223 Main St, Chatham NJ 07928
“It’s just what a small town hardware store should be Staff is excellent. Very helpful advising on types of paint for each project. You can walk in with a random nut or bolt and Walther knows exactly what you need to pair up with it. So if some say the pricing is a little higher than going to the “bigger” stores, the service and convenience is well worth it. Who has the extra hour or two to drive to a highway store, and then wander around with no one to help you, only to stand in a long checkout line? Village hardware is the gem of downtown Chatham And if you bring your “friendly well behaved” dog, the staff will give it a milkbone. Been going here 18 years and enjoy the experience every time”
