One day I asked why she wouldn't wait on me. She began to berate me and call me names. The same thing happened the next time i was in and she added I was never to speak to her again. I spoke with the manager and explained the treatment I'd been receiving. I wanted him to talk to her about the way I'm being treated. He said that I must have done something to upset her. I informed him that she has waited on me for years with no problems.. I've been merely making purchases and leaving. He said he felt she was in the right and we agreed I should take my business elsewhere. That said, I recommend One Stop Building Supply.

This store is everything that I love small hardware stores. They always seem to have what I need,…read moreand the people are locals who are more interested in their clientele than I have found at many big box stores. After moving to the area recently, my wife and I have needed several things to get our new home up and running. Every time I've walked in, Newport Hardware had what I needed, could find it in their cornucopia of good stuff and were as courteous as you please. The military discount is another bonus. I'd almost make an excuse to go visit this place. I will certainly keep giving these folks my business.

There are floor staff everywhere to answer questions. In response to the previous review about chatty cashiers -- this isn't a chain store. It's a local place with lifetime customers including other businesses, contractors, homeowners and vacationers, too. It's a community business where we can take a moment to acknowledge each other with a "hello how are you." If the reviewer was that put out they could have easily said something to the (always present) owner rather than complain about it here. The friendly cashiers are long female time employees who will not only ring up your purchase but are very knowledgable about the products sold and where to find them.

My whole family has been going to this store since it opened. That stops today…read more I purchased a light timer. It came wrapped in hard plastic that you need to cut with a knife or scissors to open. I believe the item was defective. I could get it to work to either turn the lights on or shut them off but not both. I went to the store, with my receipt, to return the item. At first, they stated they got it working and it was not defective. ( They actually got it to turn on an item which I also did). Then they said they could not accept the return because I did not have the original packaging and therefore they could not resell it. I asked how are they going to sell an item that is not working properly. They still refused to accept the return. I left the timer with them and walked out of the store. We will never return. Now I understand how Amazon is so successful.

We had 5 knives, so we dropped them off and within about 2 hours, we got a call saying our knives were ready for pick up. The one they could not do was my large Chinese meat cleaver, but otherwise all the other large knives were done right. Great job ! I was able to use my digital coupons and rewards towards this transaction.

Just a scrap piece of think plywood and lo-and-behold, they had a really good bin of scraps here. Yes, they're not free but it was this or not getting a good night's sleep as the previous piece snapped. The store is reasonably tidy and I had no problem working out where things were. The store is massive, same as other Home Depots elsewhere. All the things that you need to build, fix, improve your home from lumber and bricks to garden tools and plants, to actual tools and nails and screws. They even have lighting, cables and appliances. I was very pleased, finding what I needed and being rung up by a nice young lady who didn't question my rather odd purchase. All good here! [Review 1082 of 2025 - 87 in Rhode Island - 24636 overall]

My experience at the Home Depot in Middletown was pretty typical overall. The store was clean,…read moreorganized, and had the usual wide selection of tools and materials. Staff were available when needed, though not overly proactive, (exception to self checkout employees) and checkout moved at a reasonable pace. Nothing stood out as exceptional, but nothing was frustrating either--just a solid, dependable visit that got the job done.
