“I've been going to Swartz Hardware for over 25 years and greatly appreciate their service. Recently I needed to match a paint color on an an irregularly-shaped fragment I chipped out of our basement foundation wall. I brought the fragment to Swartz Hardware. Marshall in the paint department went to great lengths to match the color. The color match turned out to be perfect. Thanks Marshall, and thank you Swartz Hardware.”

“When we bought our beautiful family home many years ago we thought it was perfect. Inside it really was perfect but our elementary school aged kids informed us that all of their friends, including our neighbors, had pools and better yards for playing. They begged for a pool, but my wife was hesitant because she wanted a beautiful yard and thought that pools were ugly. I was only concerned about expenses but for my daughter's12th birthday I told her would we put in a pool. My wife was not happy because she thought it would make the yard look stark and bare with too much cement and not enough space to grow flowers or relax. I hired a contractor but wanted a good deal on supplies so I called Sam White and Sons in Newton and spoke to an expert who helped design and find materials for a perfectly beautiful yard that my whole family could love and enjoy.Since then we have been going back on a regular basis to update the property and add to the beauty and pleasant atmosphere. We put in some more garden spaces for plants and flowers, a firepit, an additional patio, an outdoor kitchen thing, and lots of nice rockwork. I eventually had the pool redone which made my wife very happy and helped up the value of our home. Every time we go in to Sam White and Sons the service is great and all their employees seem to be experts at giving great advice. So many tips and ideas!I very much appreciate that it is still a family owned company. I see many of the same employees in the twenty something years I have been going there which gives me great confidence in how they run the business. So much depends upon good employee management, doesn't it? The employees there always seem happy and ready to help which makes me think they like their jobs and are treated very well. This translates directly to good customer service. I have read some sad bad reviews here and do not agree at all with the people who wrote them. I think that some people do not understand how this sort of business works and they expect things that are not really a part of the business model. I remember Sam White and respect him and his family for what they have created.”

“Incredible tiny-but-mighty hardware store. Had exactly what I needed and was highly knowledgeable. Don't give the big orange box your business if you can avoid it!”

“I'd like to thank two women who helped me yesterday with a problem I was having with a cooking thermometer. The woman behind the counter showed me where to find a tool that I needed. The woman working the floor found the batteries that I needed. Ultimately I decided that the device itself was defective, and didn't buy either item, but I want to thank these women for their patience and understanding yesterday.”
