Hardware Stores in Putnam, CT

“Sidenote: a young man, employed here, about 35ish, lean, brown hair was helping customers load cars. He noticed I was slumped over in my car. After 2 glances he came over to see if I was okay and offered me to sit in the store. I was awaiting medication from Walgreens, nextdoor, told him I wasn't feeling well. He went out of his way to comfort me. You can bet I'll shop here forever. Thank you so very much.”

“I have shopped at Modern Lumber for years. Excellent quality and excellent selection. I had/have the pleasure of dealing with Richard and his Son Chad. Chad has a great silly snarky attitude, which makes him fun to deal with. He can take it as well as give it which makes for a lively visit. I am always impressed with the quality of their lumber which is the best grade and sometimes less or just a little more than big box stores. You truly get what you pay for. Chad knows his stuff; we have never been disappointed. Extremely knowledgeable, willing to help, and if he doesn’t have it he will make every effort to get it for you. We are in the process of getting a new roof and some minor cedar siding repair. I needed just one piece of clapboard due to the distributor not giving me what we ordered as far as length goes. Modern was less per lineal foot than a large distributor in RI. (The reason we did not buy it all at Modern was a time issue, I should have called them first a few days earlier; that is on me.) My Husband likes going there as well. Oh and when they make a key, it works the first time every time. Thank You for being there for us in the Podunk Quiet Corner. We are very fortunate. Be well. Peace”

“Our first time stopping by a TSCo. On a day trip from Boston to Thompson & Putnam & we loved it!It kinda reminded me of the old Benny’s gone Country. Wanted to get some baby chickens ? but some of us city-slickers are dumb when it comes to livestock. Nice selection of unique items & farmy stuff and good prices. Bought some clothes, candy & jerky”
