Excellent customer service! I had a screen replaced recently and there was something wrong with the one they replaced which I didn’t realize until I got home so I brought it back and they immediately fixed it for me. I believe the employee’s name was Aaron and he did a great job! I recommend kovarik for screen repairs.
This is the best example of a family business (90+ years) of value and service with a smile. I came in to have a key made and my mower blade sharpened. No big deal right? I couldnt get either done at the big chains. I came in and a knowlegable man took my blade and lovely young lady my key. Both completeld within 10 minutes at a great price. I have been going there since Joe ran it on Clinton street and when you need something, including knowledgeable advice, they are the place to go.
This place offers what is now missing with the Giant chain stores, and idea what that is? You guessed it good customer service which is so rare these days and it is clearly missing and big businesses dont even worry about it because to them it is all about the $$$. Apon entering the employee spoke and asked if there was anything that they can do for you! I got what was needed and they practice all the rules when it comes to the pandemic! Local they are and a little bit more expensive but they acknowledge you when you come into the store! They may not have it all but customer service is PARAMOUNT to me! Good shopping experience!
Im new to the area, but Ive heard high praise of Kovarik. Five different employees offered me help during my visit. Its not huge, like Lowes, but it has a great selection, fair prices and excellent customer service.
In Binghamton this is an old fashion hardware store . People know their products, are eager to help and are extremely friendly. Its like shopping from family.I recommend this store for anything hardware. If they dont have it, you dont need it.
Friendly staff and great prices.
Love buying from a small local business. Came here to get a special picture of Jeff and little Santa together
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:Love the hometown feel of the place with the courteous customer services youd expect from your towns hardware store. They are never too busy to answer your questions and they know their stuff... Bigbox boys cant compete...
Great service, you wish they had service like that at Lowes and Home Depot but thats never ever gonna happen, prices are for sure a bit higher but its worth every penny the service you get, great store.
They usually have everything I go there looking for
Great Place...very helpful, knowledgeable staff..have what I look for. Like an old fashioned hardware store. Sensitive to peoples needs and good prices.
Good hometown service, they have many things that the big stores do not....its like family here....
This is the premier hardware store in Binghamton. If you need it they have it or will get it for you! Very knowledgeable employees and friendly too. Family owned for generations! Shop here and you wouldnt be disappointed, love Kovariks..👍👍
The lady knew her bolts and was very helpful. Let me take a few different ones out side and see what worked before paying
Great place my little sister works here
Kovarik is always my first stop when I need anything in hardware., from dremel bits to whatever I need. The staff are always very helpful
The best Family Owned Hardware Store in the area!!If you cannot find an old obsolete part, or 100 year old part for a radiator at Lowes or Home Depot, rest assure, you will find it here!!Staff is extremely knowledgeable. The old guys there are the best source, with well over 100 years experience between any two of them.Best part is...You may even get home made cookies when you check out.
They always have what I need for my old home built in 1900.
Workers know you and call you by your name. Very polite, extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of their itinerary. Carry almost everything you will need, especially if your parts maybe old, outdated. They will most likely have an O.E. For your every need. If they dont carry it, they will pick up a phone and call to find it for you. The owner Joe is always there to say hello.The best experience is always a call away.
One of the last places on earth where you can get service from people who actually know what they are talking about. A diamond in the rough, this place is great. I feel the same way about Kovariks as Alec Baldwins mom feels about Wegmans. I cant live without it!
If youre in need of any plumbing parts dont bother looking elsewhere! Youre seriously wasting your time and gas money. Not only does Kovariks have absolutely everything under the sun that our other retailers dont carry nor do they have a clue about, but they immediately know what youre looking for and talking about! I only gave them 4 stars due to the difficulty in getting around the store. If youre disabled youre stuck to the main floor. Theres no handicapped access to the 2nd floor or the basement (where plumbing is located) Note ☆ there hours online are incorrect. They close at 5pm not 6pm.
Great place for small business Saturday! Even grabbed a couple new masks and got to see a dear friend. Theyre an awesome asset to our community.
This place is great. I always see the same faces. The staff and owners are very helpful and knowledgable. For small home projects I will go here and bypass the big chains. Ive been going here for a few years now since I bought my home in Binghamton. I always leave satisfied. Even when I went in today to get sink drain pipes I was given a homemade chocolate chip cooking when checking out from the woman at the register. Made my morning. Its the little things that count.
Love this store..however I went there today and a worker asked me if I needed help. I told him I did not need help finding anything and he continued to watch me while I shopped for floor cleaner. It was extremely awkward. I still love this store.
Great selection, friendly service quality products
Went in looking for a couple of items and I was in a hurry. I was helped right away. I always get helpful advice here these folks know their business and I have found items here that I havent at other hardware supply stores. Its a great store Im very glad its available to us!
There are a few things that separate Kovariks from the big box stores. First, they are very helpful. Whenever Ive entered the store they ask what do you need. Second, the staff is knowledgeable. For example, I brought in some plumbing parts and within 5 minutes I was out the door with what I needed.
Theyre got all your plumbing needs.
Easy hassle-free rentals of a rototiller and a lawn roller. Great service and a good selection. Advise you no longer find at the big box stores and very competitively priced.
Christmas morning returned from a 12 hour shift at the ambulance to find 18 inches of water in the basement. Kavariks opened due to demand for pumps even though their family hadnt opened presents. They did not mark up the pumps. Without them we wouldnt have a drying basement or heat as our furnace filter was wet. You wont see lowes or home depot opening on a holiday.
Kovariks is a great place for most household needs. The staff is extremely knowledgable, they have parts for many things, and the quality of goods there are better than the big box stores. I highly recommend shoping here!
Family owned hardware stores like this are a dying breed. Extremely knowedgeable, and they always have what you need. The big box stores may be a few cents cheaper, but supporting local business is important. Highly recommend Kovariks.
If you cant find it Kovariks probably has it. The best, most helpful and knowledgeable staff in the county!
Actually there twice today. First for a simple item. Second time for an emergency water problem. Both times it was s fun visit with friends. Not only do they have what you need they have the knowledge and expertise to help you do it right.
Alway’s worth a trip even if you pay a little more for the product. Everyone that i have ever incountered has been great providing advise and showing me exactly what i need and suggestions on something i may have forgoten. The last visit i had the gentleman recommended that i used this special screw driver to remove tac strip instead of a pry bar. The driver was cheaper and also worked better.The staff is really friendly and willing to help with you needs.
If you need it, they probably have. Absolutely the best with helpful, knowledgeable staff that goes far above and beyond what they need to do. I skip the big box stores and go there first. I cant recommend them highly enough.
Theyve been around longer than Ive been around. They have everything that you need including fantastic help / knowledge / a little history and always a good price. Ive given up on the big chain stores and always drive in to Binghamton just because I know theyll have the parts Im looking for. If you cant find the help you need at Kovariks, you wont find it anywhere.
Nothing better then a little big hardware store. If you cant find it at a major chain hardware store cuz its sold out this place will have it!
They have actual employees that know about hardware parts and they want to assist you! Highly recommended! Forget Lowes and Home Depot, shop at Kovarik!!!
Somehow 5 stars doesnt seem enough for a place like Kovariks True Value Hardware. 110% personal service even if you are purchasing a single nut or bolt they walk you to the inventory and personally place it in your hand. No need to buy more than you need or want. Fair prices and the great family atmosphere all make this my preferred store for any of my hardware and general household needs.
Everyone who works here is excellent. The best hardware store around. You can find what you need, get good advice, and get on with your day. I cant recommend highly enough. Thanks again Kovariks!
Very helpful staff, not everything I wanted was in stock, but got what I needed, with friendly help.
My boyfriend and i bought a 8$ item for a toilet never used it and kept the receipt actually ended up buying a ehole toilet from tgem tryed returning the 8$ item and because it was over 30 days they refused to take it back and return my money. Thats stealing if you ask me on top of it all they were very rude about it
Wonderful place! Everyone is so helpful and kind! Better than the chain stores. They know what you need and they sell you just that.
This place is a gem! Very helpful and knowledgeable. Had just what I needed and a whole lot more! Fantastic experience there.
Great place to get almost anything you need. Wonderful local family run business. Every employee more than willing to go that extra mile to help you. Thanks for being there.
One of a kind store!
So nice and helpful! Jeff helped us out so well. Prices are competitive.
If they dont have it, they can get it for you, if they still make it ;) From the tiniest Thing-A-Ma-Bob, to the largest Dooo-Hickey. For those of you with smartphones, if you are not sure what you broke or what you broke is called, take a pic and show one of the staff. Even if they look out of stock on something, they can usually get it in a week. My husband and I bought an older home and there are things in, around, and on this house I never knew what they were called. Like the older screen holders for large porch windows. Showed them a picture and they knew exactly what they were, and took me to exactly where they were sold to chose color and size. If Kovariks friendly family cant get it, then no one makes it anymore. I love this store and when my husband and I come in we are always treated with respect and just like a member of the family.
Always knowlagble and helpful. If they dont know they will take the time to find out for you. 10 out of 10 will always recomend.
Great service, fair prices. The staff is welcoming and nice. Thank you, John, for helping me find the right bolt for my bike.
Great trip to kovariks for some plumbing supplies to replace an outside spicket. Job done.
Rented a rototiller and bought work gloves. Great customer service and very reasonable prices.
This place has everything and a very knowledgeable staff that can help you with any project or problem. Ive never been disappointed..
Always a pleasure to shop here. Staff super helpful and knowledgeable.
They always seem to have what I need. Very helpful and friendly staff
Best hardware store in town
The best hardware store, ever !! Helloooo.... Always so helpful. Always an employee around, to answer questions !!
Great place, has all hardware. And then some.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great place to get home improvement items.
I HAD been looking for a product to get rid of BEDBUGS & a friend told me about this place & how the people there were extremely cool and helpful with the bug situation. So I went to this warehouse after going to the bigger and more known (lowes)+(home depot). WITH NO LUCK I Decided to check out kovarik. IT WAS THE BEST thing Ive done, right from when I walked in the ladies were friendly and helpful. As a matter of fact she took me to the display of this product that killed my bedbugs, she explained to me how to use it (KILLS). It worked as she explained step by step how to use this product I tought she worked for who made this but she told me that the products they carry are effective I guess the way she told me made the difference and the price was amazingly cheap.I LOVED SHOPPING here and will definitely recommend this hardware store to anyone..THANKS KOVARIK and the employees there..JF
Always helpful and cheerful family owned business that stocks things you cant find other places, and will order if they dont have it.
Got a great lock there today. Staff was very helpful

2021-12-15If I could leave a review with no stars I completely would. This store allowed a malecustomer to assault a female customer while the cashier joined in with verbal abuse. UNACCEPTABLE! They also appear to racially profile customers by following POC around the store. Ive shopped here often to support local. No more! Ill support my friends who work at Lowes instead.

2021-06-16On my way home from work, I stopped in looking fir a sprayer for a garden hose and a few other small outdoor items. Tylor and another associate were friendly and able to help me promptly. I was able to get what I needed and back on the road after a long day. Place is clean and organized.

2021-09-09I went in for one 10 ft section of gutter downspout spout. The gentleman found it for me and, for a nominal fee cut it to the length I actually needed. And carried it to my car. Wonderful service, wonderful people, great selection and good prices.

2021-06-25A wonderful old school hardware store that has everything. Local and family run. Fixed my lawn tractor, and had the hard to find stuff that the big box stores just fail on. Plenty of knowledgeable help. Check it out. A really cool place.
