“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 Not in a dusty, outdated way… but in that warm, familiar way.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.”

“My first time in Habor Freight in years. I was very impressed. They have stepped up there merchandise & how they display it.......very nice!!! The employees were friendly & professional. I was there only for a gift card, so I didn't need to ask a bunch of questions. Great place!!! Go there, you will not regret it, stay safe!!”

“EMH installed a custom wood desk for me in a corner of my home, helping me to make much better use of that (otherwise frustrating) space . What every neighborhood should have: a trusted supplier and skilled team of craftsmen. Thanks EMH! Wishing you many more years of operations!”

“This place is a gem one of the few true hardware stores left on the island. The staff here are incredibly knowledgeable and their prices are comparable to homedepot. I go straight here whenever I need anything. They have a parking lot and the mobile gas station one block away always has a very low price on gas.”
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”
5 Fisher St, Sayreville NJ 08872
“Great place and much faster than running all the way to Home Depot. Saves me so much time where I just need a few parts to complete whatever it is that I am working on.”

“Legendary tools at unbelievable prices! If you aren't a professional and use tools to casually, this is the place to go for a lot of things. I have had a very high success rate with their items, especially when compared to other online websites that sell budget imported products. Always good to read the reviews on the item you are considering on the Harbor Freight website, some are better than others.”

“Jimmy at the counter was extremely helpful and even offered to load up my truck with the parts. He ask me if I need more items,in case I forgot something. Thank you Jimmy”

“I recently came in on 2 occasions to rent a truck from Home Depot Rental. Gil and Jarod were instrumental in making this rental experience less stressful. I had to write this review to extend my appreciation to both Jarod and Gil, and to commend them on their efficiency and customer centric demeanor. They ensured that the truck I needed was available and was respectful of my tight schedule upon picking up and returning the rental truck. Needless to say, when I need to rent a truck again, I only hope to have the opportunity to work with Gil and Jarod. They made the rental experience very seamless and easy for me. Thank you so very much Gil and Jarod!”

“Went in today looking for a few tools. A young man named Josh helped me out and answered all of my questions. His kindness and patience helped me figure out everything I would need and saved me from making multiple trips. I haven't been to this location in a while due to prior experiences but with the staff they have now I will be giving them another chance!”

“Love this store, I was there with my husband yesterday and was very impress as the store looks smaller from the outside but it is pretty big. I felt comfortable shopping there!, I will definitely will go back and explore the store. Superb customer service.”
#15, 675 US-1, Iselin NJ 08830
“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.”

“Been to the store the last two days and delt with Sean. What a wonderful person to deal with. Him and his crew was very nice and helpful. I live 5 minutes from a Benjamin Moore store on the south shore, and rather drive the 20 minutes to this store and deal with really nice staff. If you need paint go to this Benjamin Moore store.”

“I just wanna give a big thank you to the entire staff and management. I was shopping there today and noticed three tiny dogs locked in a car in their parking lot. It was 96 degrees outside and the car was off with all the windows rolled up. So I rushed inside to have them call the owners license plate number out and to come to customer service. If not we were calling the police department. Let's just say all ended well and the dogs are safe ♥️ these men and women care ♥️”

“I’ve lived in Edison for years and never noticed this place since it’s tucked away next to the gas station. I stopped in recently and the guys at the counter were super helpful. The store has a little bit of everything, which was perfect on a snow day. Mauricio took the time to explain the difference between rock salt and calcium and even helped load everything into my van. Thanks, Builders General! I’ll definitely be coming back.”
