“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.”
“The staff is beyond helpful, experienced, knowledgeable, and professional. They have helped me so many times over the years. I highly recommend and appreciate them.”
“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!”

“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.”
“Love this place, helped me with a Weber grill accessory, including a test fit of the piece on a same-model grill in the store to make sure I was buying the appropriate piece — can’t do that online or in a box store, and you can’t put a price on how friendly and helpful these folks are.”
“It's great to find a downtown store like this-old school hardware store. It's a much different experience from shopping at a big box monstrosity. Shop local!”

666 NJ-35, Middletown“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!”
“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!”

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"!”
“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.”
“Needed a length of pilot light tubing, checked the website, in stock and ordered it. Received email, traveled to the Eatontown store, was promptly greeted and on my way within minutes. A very pleasant and successful transaction. The store was also impeccable and organized.”
“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”

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.”

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..”
“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.”
