Located at the Kingston Plaza in Kingston, NY, we came here for a color stain for raw pine doors we'd purchased at a door store. Herzog's is big- not Home Depot big- but it's got a lot of what you may need for home repairs. They carry lighting equipment, painting items, a kitchen+ bathroom design dep't, textiles, BBQ accessories, vacuum cleaners, gardening supplies, candles, some clothing- heck, even minimalist jewelry in a glass case, etc. My girl with the glasses in the paint department was smooth and patient. She took her time when we asked her questions about colors and how each color stain would react to raw wood. Service was fine, we left with smiles and was the opposite of everything that's been written here in the past. Whether you're working with a contractor like we are or you're one of those Do-It-Yourselfers, this is your place.

This Houst & Son on Tinker St in the heart of Woodstock is independently owned- falling within the fold of the True Value brand. We've relied on these folks for years especially when we've stayed at a local B&B with access to their grill then come here for a bag of charcoal briquettes. We'll still get those- but now as things have changed for us, we're getting kitchen items, cast-iron skillets, etc to use on weekends when we're in town. The right side of Houst is dedicated to kitchen items such as cutlery, cleaning supplies, pots+pans, serving spoons, welcome mats+other outdoor items. The left side has painting supplies, plumbing products and other DIY projects that need seeing quickly. For bigger home improvements, ask. Price? It's Woodstock. I'm not driving out of my way to save a a few dollars. But, these folks have a rewards system which you can accumulate and use for future purchases. As far as service, it's unbeatable.

My dad's grill was falling apart, and I noticed at the right time to coincide with Father's Day. Luckily, Williams Lumber is around. I already know my dad likes this spot for lumber, and he's an Ace Hardware rewards guy (he's anti-Home Depot, and happy to tell you all about why), and they had the grill I was looking at in stock. Everything fell into place. I gave them a call, and Bryce helped me out. He confirmed they had the grill, and because it's not really a gift to give someone something heavy to pick up or complicated to assemble, we arranged to have the grill put together and delivered in just a couple days. They took care of everything without a hitch, including a nice grill cover and brush to keep this one in much better shape than the last. They also have hardware, and do a good job selling it.

The second floor also sticks more hardware items but, you'll also find storage bins, kitchen and bathroom items including liquid hand soap. I just named a few items- but again, Woodstock Hardware will seriously help you if you're in a jam. As for prices, well.....we paid for convenience. Not complaining. The young gentleman who helped tremendously the day we visited was very pleasant and offered excellent advice when we needed it.

This has been one of our go-to home improvement stores for anything from shrubs, light bulbs, cleaning supplies and other things. Our most experience here was perfect. Now mind you, we'd gotten here like 1/2 hour before closing to get 4 gallons of black exterior paint so our contractors can paint our 7 panel wood slat fence. We knew we wanted a basic black so it's not like we struggled. We selected a high-quality brand that could tolerate the elements then selected a swatch so the paint mixer can take it from there. Service was awesome and we'd gotten the 4 gallons at a decent price using hubs' Military discount. The paint mixer was extremely pleasant and eager to please.

I have been coming here for 10+ years, always first before Lowe's because it is so clean and easy to navigate. Eileen seems to know everything about the store from memory. Andy and Brian don't sit still, they are always flying around helping everyone find the right stuff. I recently went there looking for furniture hardware to fix my bed headboard, right before the store closed. Glenn and Lou both helped me design a new bolt/nut setup to fix the pieces with stronger parts so it wouldn't break again, while using the existing drilled holes so it looks perfect. I was the last customer out as they were shutting off the lights and then I heard it was even Lou's birthday...stayed late to help me with a $10 purchase. This is how True Value earns the loyalty of their customers and takes the stress and uncertainty out of the average DIY jobs. Glenn and Lou could tell how important this repair was to me, and they gave it the same attention as a major renovation. It is amazing how cheap it can be to fix/maintain things instead of buy new ones. Take some digital pics and bring to the store and tell the crew to give you whatever you need to tackle the project. Be sure to rent tools from them too, so easy and cheap! They will even deliver the equipment to your house for you. Get Benjamin Moore paints from them too, good stuff lasts longer than junk and requires fewer coats...your time is valuable!
