I actually love this place. The guys are really knowledgeable about what they sell (I go for plants garden supplies, mostly), and are really nice and accommodating. But its like walking into a hoarders garage. Near impossible to walk through, especially if you have something larger than a hammer to take to the counter, which there is no room to put anything on. Ive never seen anything like it. The guys know where everything is, though. They give loads of advice and know exactly what customers are looking for on any given project.
Didnt buy anything (yet) .. not sure the specific part I need (plumbing). But their willingness to help, discuss, examine pictures I sent, is just incredible. Didnt make a dime from me, and yet was willing to spend that kinda time helping. Incredibly rare customer service.
This place is the best! David and Peter know everything about everything and have everything, it’s like the size of the store is an optical illusion and it’s actually 10xs the size it looks. My favorite business in the neighborhood and an increasingly rare kind of business.
The Owners Peter and David are totally awesome and knowledgeable about anything home related. There prices are very reasonable and there service is excellent. Sometimes you have to be patient because they take there time to talk to you and not rush you to make a sale.
Neighborhood gem, local unsung heroes that service their communities in more ways than you can imagine. I normally go in for odd crafts or “plant stuff” but the other day found out that they’ve been making house calls for elderly folks who may not have anyone to check on them during these challenging times.They also have everything and anything you can imagine for your home, and give exceptional advice and service!
They (still) carry just about just about any hardware store related odds and ends + much more... even if some of them may be a bit dusty lol. In all seriousness, that is no easy feat in the days of Amazon. Plus the owner/manager is very helpful! If you have any questions or concerns just ask!! Also, metal window gates are often closed, but the door is open, and they are open (during business hours).
Its the best kind of hardware store for amateurs and pros alike -- all you have to do is ask. Dont bother looking around on your own; this isnt a browsing store like Home Depot. The employees know...everything (and also where the stuff is) and will help you leave with the info and supplies you need. Love it.
Dont let the chaotic interior sway your opinion of this place. Theres a method to its madness and the employees always know where everything is. Theyre also always super helpful, without any of the condescension that so many other hardware stores are known for. A real neighborhood standby.
This place is a godsend!!! if i ever leave there without learning something then the world is probably gonna end. store is jam packed but for good reason....they basically have everything u need. especially helpful if u own/live in an old building.Peter and David are the absolute best!!! very nice guys with a wealth of knowledge and are more than willing to share. Just ask!!!!
Sometimes I wonder, how small stores can stay in business with nationwide chains on the market. ... This store is a good example how. Lots of things - evrything - in a small place in walking distance. They are very helpful and can answer evry quastions. They remember for you and call by name.
Whenever i need something they have it !David and peter are so Respectful and VERY knowledgeable, really nice people even if you have just a question they will answer it with a smile and its not commen with most of the hardware stores . ( that store existed for more then 130 yeras!! )Highly recommended !!!!!
Been going there for 38 years! Always Super helpful! They have everything! The new guys, whove owned the place for a decade, are even more helpful and friendly than the original family! A Ridgewood Institution!!! Suport your local businesses!!! Bid box stores suck, and the service at Home Creepot is practically nonexistent!!!

2022-04-25Even though it looks closed. They are open and doing a thriving business. They have everything you will need. They can answer plumbing, electrical, painting, landscaping, home repairs. They are great with everything I could possibly need. Dave and his brother Peter are the BEST.

2022-05-09These guys make me look forward to going to the hardware store. I always leave with what I need because they are so helpful. Whether its talking about the best soil based on my needs, or matching to the right lightbulb color, these guys never let me down.

2020-09-22Such a lovely neighborhood staple!! They have everryyything here, and if they dont they will let you know when they will!I was able to get everything I needed for my first (of many) housewarming projects... I had a vision for a pearlescent wall with a glitter paint stencil, and they were super helpful and knowledgeable to talk me through that I needed! They even ordered more of the glitter paint in the color that I needed, when it wasnt there the first time I went.Look how pretty this wall came out! Of course, the photo makes it hard to capture the lovely pearlescent sheen as well as the sparkle of the glitter... But Im sure you can still tell its gorgeous.I used Benjamin Moore Pearlescent White Metallic Glaze and the Rust-oleum Glitter Paint in Iridescent Clear. The stencil is from Etsy.If youre gonna try the glitter paint, my advice is to read the directions and get the right nap of roller... Save yourself some headache.

2021-11-06The owner is super nice. We had water in the basement due to Ida and therefore needed to fixed some holes in the drain. He gave us very good suggestions. Today, we need help to refinish my old wood door. Once again, he told us what we need to use. He even returned my phone call. The price may be a couple of dollars more but it is totally worth it because we are getting expertise advice.

2021-10-05This place was excellent! Friendly, knowledgeable personnel make sure you get exactly what you need! So, what it lacks in aesthetics it more than makes up for in service and an enormous inventory! I was very satisfied with Platz Hardware. It was well worth the two bus trip I took to get there.
