You couldn't ask for a better team or better service! General Lumber is an integral part of the local Hoboken community. They are the best!

Came in with my dad to pick up some extra things to put in an AC bracket for a window unit. We brought in some of our supplies and tools because we were feeling a little stuck, and the guys here were super friendly and patient with us, especially given that English is not my father’s first language. We only bought one small piece for a drill, but they spent time listening to us while I asked if our game plan made sense.
What I really appreciated is that my dad was getting frustrated with the bracket I bought (which of course I got a cheap one from Amazon). He asked if they had any in store, so the guy working there showed us what he had and explained how they needed to be installed, but told us we should still try using what we have first with the new drill piece we were buying. I appreciated that they weren’t pushing us to buy things that we don’t need and have my dad a little more confidence in getting this job done. That experience alone will have me coming back in the future when I need anything to fix something up in my apartment, and I’ll recommend them to any of my friends in town who need something.

Places like this are hard to come by nowadays. I stopped by General Lumber True Value today with a very unique ask for some specific screws and rubber washers for my golf clubs. The gentleman behind the counter was more than happy to help show me their options and make sure I was getting exactly what I needed, treated me like family. We also shared some good banter about the golf in this area. He insisted everything I needed was free of charge just wanted me to share who took care of it.Best hardware shop in the Hoboken/NYC area, as well as just an overall elite business. Look no further than General Lumber True Value. Thank you!

stay far away unless you know EXACTLY what you want or need. asking basic questions and the sales men in back make you feel stupid for asking but don't volunteer any information or sit to work with you. they wont give you the time of day. literally ppl at lowes or home depot are more helpful and that's really saying something

Not one to write reviews but had a very bad experience with a completely unprofessional salesperson. Would recommend taking your business elsewhere.

If you need to get screwed go to the place that starts with the word 'Home' and the second word with a big D. The guys here will always take their time. Go to the other place and it's a sad place.

If your jonesing for some old school Hoboken comradery and the friendliness of your local barkeep and the dude version of hair salon gossip the people who work at this down to earth but highly capable hardware store are worth chatting with. All highly knowledgeable and super helpful. 5 stars and best of luck.
