“UPDATED REVIEW 10/23/24: ANOTHER 5 STAR REVIEW:
----I just had the pleasure of speaking to Chris about how to remove Rustoleum spray paint off of my rim I painted. I am not pleased with the color. He's a nice guy!
-----
FROM 2019:
My husband and I have been going to this place since it opened and they have helpful staff, a great variety and it's such a bonus for our town to have this place for all of our painting and hardware needs!”
“Always very helpful with whatever questions I throw at the staff. Great local hardware shop that is consistent, friendly, honest, and ready to assist with any project.”
“Very nice selection of potted flowers. We went initially looking for multiple hanging plants but decided on potted plants for the porch steps. All in all, nice selection and friendly service.”
“Went here today to get a key made. I was greeted at the door by a very nice man and he asked if I needed help. The key was made quickly for a very reasonable price. Wow. This place was impressive! Thank you so much!”
“Staff here is always kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. This store sometimes has items you can't find at the giant hardware stores. The Rook Coffee shop next door is a nice bonus.”

2435 NJ-35, Manasquan“This store is a Ho to for all things hardware. So many times I'm in the middle of a project, need something and I pick it up here. Mike works the floor and is one of the most patient people who knows where everything is in the store. They have a Friendly and Helpful staff.”
“They have a gigantic catalog, I always find something. The service is great, everybody is very knowledgeable & nice. Even ordering by phone or online, they usually get it to you with a couple of days. A month ago I ordered a bunch of exit & fire extinguisher signs, they came from I believe 6 different locations. It took 2 weeks to get everything, nobody perfect. They have a great selection of power tools. They are worth a look.”
“Builders General is the best! We have a personal rep (Peter) who is always a phone call away for all of our needs. He is the best!! Everyone at the counter is super helpful. We go to all of the Builder General locations depending where our job is and everyone is so pleasant, you can really tell it is a family owned buisness. Builders General takes pride in every sale small or large. They are a well rounded buisness down to even to loading materials and deliveries. (Shout out to Jay in Little Silver- he is super helpful!)”
“Amazing customer service! Had my broken toilet fixed in no time. I talk to the guy after and he was very nice. His name was Biagio. Should definitely be next in line to be promoted!”
8AM - 8PM
94 NJ-36, Eatontown“The manager is always friendly and helpful. Knowing what items to select and doing some research is the key to shopping here effectively. I've gotten some great deals for tools and supplies.”
“Excellent customer service and great prices! Stopped in to get my screen door rescreened while other hardware stores gave a turnaround time of 10 to 14 days Stewarts had mine completed in 1 day and was priced very fairly. They were friendly and pleasant and have now gained another customer (me). Very happy, great experience will refer all friends and family or anyone looking for a great hardware store!”
“I started doing business (painting) with Joe Barrone of Monmouth Building Center and he definitely made my life easier. They were better priced than surrounding stores and I was able to text him things I would need. For larger orders he would even deliver. On the occasions I have to go into the store, everyone is friendly and helpful.”

75 Monmouth Rd, Oakhurst“Everything you could ask for in a local hardware store. I have had screens redone here, replacement glass and purchased power equipment here. The experience is light years better than a big box store. Don't sleep on this place these guys are "Aces"!”

528 Arnold Ave, Point Pleasant Beach“This store has been here for many years. It has a variety of things that you could possibly use or need when you stop in there. The staff is very helpful and are eager to assist you”
8AM - 4PM
1889 NJ-88, Brick“I'm very stingy with 5* ratings, usually there is always room for improvement. Moved to CDE a few years ago, away from our other associates of 40+ years. Ease of ordering, available stock, assistance with parts search, all A+. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thanks Dan, Connor, and group. .g.”
“I have fond memories of going here with my Dad when I was a kid. I loved the smell of the place, the chit chat my father would have with the owner. I would always get a gumball out of the gumball machine. I also loved wandering off to look at every item the shelves had.”
“Competitive pricing, always get the correct materials received on time and undamaged unlike some other local supply houses. Harrison is great and always answers his phone and responds to emails in timely manner. Counter is also great for quick small orders”
7:30AM - 4:30PM

310 NJ-36, West Long Branch“A good place for your home and yard needs unfortunately some of the items that I was looking for are not stocked
Unfortunately sometimes when you have a question you have to go looking for someone to assist you however the gentleman I found turned out to be the person in every department that I had a question which was very good and thankfully he was able to answer and or guide me through every question.
Good job!!
Lately people don't take pride in there work if they even do it and others who don't want to and think that everything should be handed to them
Forget about customer service but it was refreshing to have someone who actually did their job and was helpful unfortunately I didn't get his name..”

118 NJ-35, Eatontown“went into Lowes last week, afternoon, stinking hot, moving slowly ... served by 3 outstanding staff in a row ... Pete in the paints dept brought me right to the product I needed and I felt confident it was the right one, he was smart & funny ... Rich in hardware could not have been more patient and kind and helpful, thought he was finished helping me but then he came back to give me more info after checking with the guys in lumber ... and Jerry at self-checkout was friendly, and gentle, knew what she was doing, it was a pleasure. Kudos to whoever is doing the hiring at Lowes.”
6:00 AM - 10:00 PM
118 NJ-35, Eatontown“Ashley, one of the managers, provided me with some of the best customer service I've ever had. She empathetically listened to my month's long battle with Hisense. Because the AC unit stopped working properly one year after purchase, returns are made to the manufacturer. Each time you provide Hisense with what they request, they inform you of something else that needs to be sent in. They never gave me a list and provided me with the documents needed in any of my 5 phone calls or 5 emails. After I gave them everything they requested, they then wanted me to cut the cord to the unit and send them a picture. I was not doing that as the fan still worked. I needed at least that if I was to be without an AC unit in 90 degree heat for a week with my elderly mother. At this point I was exhausted with the situation. I knew Lowes did not take returns on this but I had no where else to turn. I told my story to the first person who picked up at customer service. She was kind and understanding. She then put Ashley, the manager, on. Ashley took ownership of the situation and solved my issue immediately. It is the type of character you would expect from a business owner who understands the thirty thousand foot view of a situation. When I arrived the next day to exchange my unit, Kim, an associate, said with a smile you must be Marie. Everyone was friendly while they got Ashley. I wanted to hug her. To sum it up. Ashley deserves recognition for her leadership. It's further evidenced by the staff she manages.”

3540 NJ-66, Neptune“Big up to the flooring dept and trinity solar rep. Unfortunately i was rude in not getting the names. Yet I got excellent professional HONEST service. Cheers to the young men that helped me there today.”
“I don't understand how they have everything I need in what feels like such a small store, but they do. Saves me a bunch of trips to Home Depot and Walmart (never would have thought to check here for bike supplies, but they have 'em!). They even have weird varieties of common items that I'm sometimes looking for. For the stuff I've needed, the prices are about the same as (sometimes less than!) Home Depot, too. Love this place.”
