About the only thing they don't have in this store is the classic "If we don't have it, you don't…read moreneed it" sign. And maybe they have one of those, but just can't find a place to display it. As neighborhood hardware stores go, this place is the genuine article. They have a wide range of fasteners (sold by the piece, not in poly-bags!), plumbing and electrical items appropriate to the kinds of houses found in the neighborhood, lawn and garden supplies, cleaning supplies, paint and -- most of all -- a very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. (Ooops, I almost forgot to mention a handsome and somewhat aloof Maine coon cat named "Hershey" who protects the lawn and bird seed from mice and provides the store with senior management.) I've been involved in construction and renovation work for many years, and this kind of hardware store is getting difficult to find. ( I was working with a carpenter installing a huge Andersen bay window which is supported by internal wire cables. Atlas True Value had large turnbuckles, 10" through bolts and wire rope clamps all in stock. ) As might be expected, they're a little bit more expensive than the big-box Lowes and Home Depot, but I frequently find they're more economical because I can get first-quality items in the quantity I need and I don't have to spend the time and gas money to go miles when I need something. My only complaint is that they shorten their business hours during the summer months and close a little earlier on Sundays.

Don't blame a Miami girl for wanting to have some sledding fun! I learned earlier today that this…read moresleds are cheap and sold at hardware stores so I ran to Hardware City in my neighborhood. I was welcomed into the stores and began conversation with the two employees at the front. They helped me pick a sled and went to go get the round ones for the back so that I could see all the available options. It was a very pleasant experience and I would totally come back here again!

This place is so rude. I've called a few times to see if they have things before I go, and they…read morereally don't want to answer questions over the phone. Even things such as "do you sell boxes" are met with a huff and a sigh. I asked what the largest one they had was, and I hear the phone slam down.... did you hang up? Did you die? They return and sputter out the size and I say "oh great, thank you," and then then they just disconnect the call. Cue the "confused girl in backseat of car" meme. Especially after Pandemic.... aren't you happy to be still up and running and selling things and running a business, or nah?

Absolutely love this store. This place is my go-to for everything I need around the house. It's a…read moresmall space but they pack a ton in -- I've found drain covers, toothpicks, doggy bags, etc. It's wild. They have a paint selection as well which is crazy -- they are very efficient with the layout. This store stands out over other shops in the area for two reasons: the staff are super helpful, and the items are priced incredibly fairly. The staff is always eager to help and I have never had a negative experience. I get items here for half or less of what they'd cost at other home stores on the street. I would definitely recommend this location to anybody in JP.

I…read moremoved into a house about a mile away from Washington Square, over the hill, and realized pretty quickly that a) I need to own an extension ladder, b) my car would in no way be able to help me move it, c) I probably needed a couple big central air filters at the same time, and d) my wife knows that if she implies I can't do something I will definitely do it. It's a real nice day, and she gently suggests I ask about delivery, so I strike out on foot. Fifteen minutes later the fella at Connelly's is showing me right to everything, takes me downstairs to look over the gutter downspouts because that's coming due soon too, makes incredulous small talk about my plan to walk a mile home with twelve foot of extension ladder and ten square foot of air filter, and then gets super pumped when he realizes that he and some masking tape can make my life easier by turning the big air filters into a big fashionable tote for my other shoulder. He helps me out the door, and long story short I got everything home, didn't wipe out any bikes, avoided that one Bugatti, and only embarrassed myself when there was no-one around. Connelly is now my hardware store for life, and god-willing I'm never going to buy another extension ladder from them again.

However, the pricing is extremely high compared to some other big box stores or ACE hardware locations outside of the city. I highly recommend using their order online for in store pickup for the best pricing since the store will follow the online pricing vs the shelf sticker price. Online orders come with a paper bag that has a handle which makes it nice and easy to carry out. There are two floors to the store, with the majority of home improvement things being on the lower level.

It took two weeks, and the screen fell off the moment I reinstalled it. I also had a key copied. It didn't work. I ended up taking both the door and key to Inman Hardware. They fixed the screen and made a key that actually worked. Buy stuff at Tags if you want, but don't count on them for even basic jobs.
