Her warmth, kindness, and incredibly personable nature completely blew us away from the moment we met her.Dee went entirely out of her way to help us, providing the absolute highest depth of customer service. She shared invaluable local insights about Beacon, giving us great directions on how to navigate the town, catch the bus, and find the absolute best coffee spots. She was the very first person we met on our trip, leaving a lasting impression that beautifully set the tone for an absolutely wonderful day. Because of how wonderful Dee was, we are already looking forward to returning to Beacon and making sure to shop at Brett's Hardware again! Thank you, Dee, for your unforgettable kindness!

This is a store I go out of my way to shop at. I don't know whether I can get certain things at a…read morebigger store like Lowes or Home Depot for less expensive, but I honestly don't care -- the folks who work there are super nice and knowledgeable and take their time to help you find something. There's also always someone there to help me bring the heavy stuff to the car, and no one will accept a tip -- "happy to help" seems to be their tag line. They're also great about referring customers to other local businesses if they don't have something I'm looking for. A recent example was I was looking for a hori-hori (google it, it will change your life). They had some tools that looked similar and probably could've sort of done the trick -- but someone working there told me where I could find an actual one on Main Street. Found it, bought it -- and told the folks working there how I learned about them. Builds community and relationship as opposed to competition. Dig it. These folks are my go to -- highly recommend them.

True Value of New Paltz is the first place you need to go to for any project. The staff is awesome…read moreand they provide helpful expert advice at no cost. 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!

A team member named Victoria greeted me and asked if she could assist after I explained what I was looking for unfortunately they did not carry but she said she could order it for me or I could try barkeepers friend which she highly recommended.

Keep up the good work !

So off the bat, this place is super clean and well organized!

When walking in, I was greeted by the people at the register and was told if I need help, there's someone to help me. Just a pleasant experience and I had to write a review because people need to know that this is an awesome location!! The color schemes on the walls are super playful and they just add to the clean, put together, well thought out look of this building!

Feb. 2026 - they may not have extra wide aisles and huge shopping carts…read more What they do have is a huge and varied inventory. Not just a "take it or leave it" feeling. It reminds me of an old-fashioned hardware store; where you didn't have to buy 100 nails, if you didn't need that many, Besides the expected tools and hardware, they also have gardening supplies, plant specific potting soils, and fertilizers. Charcoal and propane grills. Fireplace pellets, water softeners, and plenty of salt for the snow. They have a few toys for kids, and some culinary tools, the kind you'd expect in a place like Williams-Sonoma. The staff is available and will come over to offer assistance if needed. They also know what they're talking about. They're not glorified check out clerks. So you don't get some mumbo-jumbo answer because they don't know the answer! Someone mentioned that their prices seem high; they seem fairly reasonable to me. After I've found what I'm looking for; I enjoy wandering around the store just to see what's there. It's discovering novel items, or something you've been looking for, but couldn't find in the expected venues that's most enjoyable.

This is a toy store, for bigger boys…read more I've heard people say "oh Harbor Freight Tools, they're no good." If you're do it yourselfer or a hobbyist; do you really need to buy a tool that you might only use once in a while, that costs a small fortune?! You also need a place to keep it. Think about that. The Sales people are also very helpful, and seem to know what they're selling. They can answer a question or two without getting a blank look on their face. That's reassuring. Sidebar: there's plenty of free parking right in front of the store. And if you need help getting something into the car, they'll give you a hand.

That led to another thing - tarps, batteries, odds and ends, etc. Since there was a great deal on a drill and drill bit set, yep. I picked that up too. Mind you, I'm not handy, but I do have a few small projects that need doing. So I returned to $60 item and walked out with almost $200 in my wagon. Oh my goodness. I really should not make returns.

All of the departments are well kept up, clean, stocked, and the service is beyond great. Sometimes you may need patience with employees if busy and especially some when their experience and knowledge with hardware is limited. Learning together plays a role that all works out with teamwork. Being a regular here builds a wonderful relationship with the staff going beyond the products which I can't emphasize enough, we need more of that. Support local and enjoy it at Davies.

I was told that someone would be right there to help me but 15 minutes later I left. I called the store to ask about the half sheets on Friday and was told that they did have them but that thy were in a different aisle from the one I was originally directed to. So later that day I went back to make my purchase only to be told that Lowe's doesn't sll half sheets. I was told that they could cut one in half for me but that I'd be paying for two half sheets! They were a disappointment and wasted my time. Never again!!!

Almost immediately, we realized every shovel full was contaminated with garbage: metal shards, tiny bits of asphalt shingles, glass fragments, and TONS of finely shredded plastic included food wrappers, grocery bags and more.

I don't want my kids touching this stuff, much less eating food grown in it. Terrible product and possibly worse customer service. Avoid at all costs.
