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!

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.

Never had any issues with service here, always helpful, handy, and are willing to assist from start to finish once the product is bought. A great and reliable place to stop in the area.

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.

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 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!

Not much in the way of housewares unlike some hardware stores but that's a non-factor to me. Technically affiliated with Ace Hardware which helps for their rewards program. Parking is also not bad in the Saugerties area which is helpful too (since they are on Main St). I come here whenever I need a serious hardware store for a project, and they've never let me down.
