Hudsons Hardware is my hardware store in the neighborhood and I am quite satisfied. I was sorry to hear that they suffered loss in May/June 2020 while sadness swept over our city. I hope and pray their business is stronger and more profitable than ever. Peace on earth.

Employees are always very helpful. Even during the covet times, they helped get the products you needed and got them out to you very quickly.

I love this place. I am happy to support a family-owned small business that always goes above and beyond to get you that weird little specific thing you need for the house. Can’t say enough about the value of the staff, their knowledge and helpfulness.In the long run, it’s much cheaper supporting a place like this with customer service, time-savings, piece of mind, etc. than saving a buck online.

Amazing service. As a young female with limited power tool experience, I was helped immediately upon entering the store and the staff worker took me around the store showing and explaining everything I would need for my specific project and how to use it. Would highly recommend!

THE WORST EXPERIENCE DURING THE WORST OF TIMES. I would normally say that Im outraged. But in this time of crisis I will just say that I am sorely disappointed by the lack of service, the deplorable attitude and the blatant disregard for the customer experience at Hudson Hardware. The COVID 19 crisis has made everything we do more challenging and essential services are just that. Essential, for both the people AND the business, because we all must survive this. I think its fair to say that when this crisis is past, we will remember and be grateful for those businesses that were there for us, that courageously remained open and helped us procure what little goods we could get, and that we needed to keep us feeling sane. I think its also fair to say that this is a time of great opportunity for people and businesses alike to show each other compassion, fortitude and integrity. Well....NOT SO for this sleepy little neighborhood hardware store that Ive worried for in the past due to lack of customers even in the best of times. It seems they have chosen to plummet into a place of being self centered, self absorbed and down right self righteous in every aspect. Heres what happened. We went in with our masks and gloves on to get some screws, nuts and bolts. As usual there were only a handful of customers in the store. There was a manager in the center, standing behind a desk, arms folded, barking orders at 3 employees on the floor. We asked one of the employees for some assistance. He then asked the manager if it was okay if he went to the back of the store with us(?). The manager said in a very loud almost hostile voice. Yes, but if I need you up here youll have to come back immediately. No sooner than we got to where we were going, he was called back to help another customer. YES! He was called away from helping us to help someone else. As my partner tried to find what we needed on her own, I wandered around a bit and noticed that the manager continued to just stand there behind the desk as two employees stocked shelves, the other standing at the cash register. After hitting a dead end in finding what we needed, my partner then went back to the manager and said. I need some help. He turned around and barked. Cant you see were swamped?!! I said. Well. Maybe YOU could help us find what we need instead of standing behind your desk? He yells at me. IM DIRECTING! I was so taken aback I didnt have the where with all to ask just exactly why or what he was directing. We just left. As I said earlier, these are challenging times for everybody, especially our essential workers and businesses, but are these times so unprecedented that we cant expect to be treated with dignity? In this time in which we are being forced to slow down I invite everyone who reads this review to take some of the extra time at hand and think about what CAN we expect, if anything? How do we want to treat each other and how do we wish to be treated right now? I dont expect sunshine and rainbows from every essential worker with which I interact, but I also dont expect to be humiliated... Memory being what it is I know it will be the only thing I remember about Hudson Hardware and that makes me sad, but I wont go back there. I will miss Bolt the resident cat very much.

Its lucky I live within walking distance because otherwise Id be forever going out of my way to get here. A delightful place filled with truly kind and helpful people (and a cozy cat). They are always happy to teach me whatever I need for my current project while never pressuring a purchase. Its cliche, but this is the kind of place that just doesnt seem to exist anymore. Go here instead of a big box and youll never regret it.

Very nice local hardware store. I was greeted immediately upon entering the store and offered assistance to find what I needed. Very friendly and helpful folks there. My only regret was that I arrived too late in the day to get the store cat.

Great customer service. They helped me find just exactly the nuts and screws I needed to fix my roof rake, and then helped me attach them. The shop has a friendly, mellow cat that likes to be petted.

Always providing the BEST service! Ive been in there regularly over the past 5 years for all sorts of random things.Hyper-knowledgeable superstars who always try to help and never upsell! I love them!In the rare case they dont carry something I need or if what they carry isnt a perfect fit, theyve recommended other businesses that can help (including big-box retailers and other small businesses).The best first stop for any home improvement or fix-it project!

Ive been coming here for years, I cant tell you how much money, time and frustration they have saved me. Not only are they closer than a big box store, they have helped me fix things with a few parts rather than replacing for more $$$ and throwing away perfectly good fixtures and faucets etc. Theyre not only handy, but also helpful and friendly neighbors!

The staff at Hudson are really knowledgeable and helpful. Theyve walked me through plumbing, electric and construction projects. They have a much better selection of fasteners than most box stores, and sell me one nut and bolt, if thats what I need. They are an asset to the neighborhood.

You can get nuts and bolts at any ol hardware store.. this one, however, is run by a super cool family and they have the awesome-est cat ever living there.
