Always helpful, a little gem of a local hardware store They always have what I need so I don't have to go to a big box store read more

Thank you co-owner, Dante for your snide comments and dismissive treatment because you didn't like that I asked so many questions about the Ooni Volt Pizza Oven that you were providing a 20% off discount ($720) with a $50 UPS shipping fee. As things turn out, it was a blessing in disguise as Amazon and Ooni currently has it for 30% off or $629.30~ It arrived this afternoon and will soon be enjoying it knowing my hard earned money did not go to an insulting person. With Amazon, if there are any issues, they will pay for it to be shipped back for a replacement or full refund. Does Karig's offer free return shipping if a product is defective or a full refund? Doubtful. They're a small business so should be treating people much more respectful. Here are a few things Dante said to me on my second phone call after he got rid of me on the first call, "I have to go"... - I'm running a business, you asked me a million questions - I answered all your questions - so did you call a hundred places to find out what they charged? (actually no, I had not) At the end, he asked if I was ready to order and I asked to confirm the $50 UPS shipping charge. He said he had to take an order so I hung up the phone. If true and he wanted to sell the Ooni to me, the proper and professional way would have been to ask if I could call back the next day. He wants the easy sale and wants a customer to order without asking too many questions which is his prerogative but just know his true character or two-faced persona; pleasant when you're ready to spend and insulting when not. Obviously, Dante didn't want or need my business but either way, I'm happy I got a better deal and my hard-earned money went elsewhere where customers are valued and treated much better. Thanks again Dante Passerini! You did me a huge favor but I will not shed a tear when your store goes out of business... read more

Amazing store!! I just bought our new Gozney Pizza oven from Dante who was so easy to deal with. The oven was ready for pickup in a few days and we are already enjoying our delicious pizza! Thanks again Dante and Karigs Hardware for the great service!! read more

Excellent hardware store! Helpful, knowledgeable and great location! Weber grills are a must from here! They do free assembly and delivery. read more

I had posted a disappointed review prior to today. But it turned out I had misunderstood the situation and the owner, the older fellow, was wonderful in correcting it. Go Karig's Hardware! read more

What an awesome little store. I'm a huge believer in shopping small. But in the case of this gem of a hardware store, I really see no compelling reason to go elsewhere. I love when you walk into a place and it smells of wood. It's a nostalgic smell that instantly brings me back to my childhood going to Goodman's Hardware in Fair Lawn. I've gone to Karig's several times to find various fix it items and have yet to go elsewhere. While their selection can't match their behemoth rival, Home Depot, it's not always about selection. Matter of fact a lot of times more selection means more confusion. And speaking of confusion, if you need help or advice on anything home improvement wise, their staff is more than happy to assist. Worth mentioning is that their prices on Weber grills are more than competitive. A really great store that I can't recommend highly enough. Much thanks! read more

This store although seems small has huge inventory, are always helpful and friendly going out of their way to assure customer satisfaction. I am big believer in supporting local businesses and it is businesses like Karig's that make it easy read more

I was skeptical about ordering on line, thru the phone, the professionalism Donte presented, knowledge of the product was amazing. I live in NY, but I wish they were my neighborhood hardware store, Lowe's & Home Depot would be put on the back burner. The item came, as he stated, I am very happy and would definitely order from them again. I already referred the store to other people. Thanks for your work ethics and professionalism.

Always helpful and they have a huge inventory of items. They are also very convenient to just pop in, get what I need and pop out. I like that I can support local owned businesses. read more

Today, I stopped by Harig's Hardware during my lunch break to pick up a few items. When I went to pay, I realized I did not have my wallet. I took it out of my purse yesterday and forgot to put it back. When I apologized and said I would have to come back, he said, "don't worry about it...you can call me with the information." He was serious! He bagged my items totaling $50 and handed the bag to me!!! I knew I was good for it, but he didn't. He didn't even take down my information. Instead, he gave me a business card with the total amount of my purchase and his first name. I was floored! I was so moved that I drove all the way home before returning to work (1 hour) because I wanted to be sure to call him asap with my credit card information. Thank you, Dante for being so kind and having faith in me :) You made my day! My faith in humanity has been restored read more

These guys rock! I'm in florida and NJ is having high temps in the 15 degree range with lows around 0. My 80 yr old mothers apt in West Orange is 56 degrees and because of yesterdays snowfall she can't get out of the house. I called them from florida and asked if I bought an electric heater if they could somehow get it delivered to her the same day. Dante took care it and she got it within hrs of my call. Thanks, I truly appreciate your level of service. read more

I don't usually write reviews, however felt compelled to write one here. This tiny store has INCREDIBLY rude employees and store manager. I mean, shockingly so. Very limited selection with prices 30-40% higher than Home Depot's (3.6 miles away). Will never set my foot in this store again. read more

Great little hometown store. Jam packed with all kinds of interesting stuff. Staff goes out of their way to help you find the right item.

This summer the gentleman at Karig's saved me from a grill meltdown. The short story is I ordered a grill from Lowe's. After several problems: could not process the order, could not deliver it, delivered the wrong grill and on and on.... I was in Karig's casually talking about the nightmare of shopping in the "big box" hardware stores. They told me they could get the grill, same price(Lowe's advertised my model as an exclusive - by the way...), set it up and deliver it in a few days. I was beyond happy! Karig's please stay around so I NEVER have to go to Home Depot or Lowe's again. Thank you! read more

I cant say enough about this great Hardware Store! They are always kind and helpful with all of my projects. I think stores like this make all the difference and I always love to support small businesses, Especially ones with staff as nice and helpful as these guys! read more

I was on my way to the Home Depot to pick up some paint supplies when I saw this hardware store on Livingston Ave. Initially, I was reluctant to enter because I saw that they were about to close, but they welcomed me warmly to their store and provided excellent customer service. I explained to Scott what I was looking for and within two minutes, he had everything that I needed to fix my damaged wall. He went as far as explaining to me in detail how to use the products and gave me some tips and tricks to ensure great results. Despite walking in last minute, I did not feel rushed at all and was ultimately very happy that I decided to pay them a visit. Not to mention, the prices were way better than those you would find at Home Depot or Lowes. If you're due for a trip to the hardware store, this is the place to go. Thanks for your help, Scott! read more

i have been shopping at karig's for 20 years, since we moved to town, and have always believed in the power of small, local stores with good variety and knowledgeable people. i was willing to pay the 30%+ premium to home depot (or even other ace hardware stores, like the one in roseland) because it reminded me of a store my grandfather owned -- dedicated to local buyers. yesterday was the last time i will go into this store. i had purchased some loose hardware two weeks ago and at the time, said i wasn't sure if i needed metric or US thread -- nothing was said about loose hardware sales being final. was in there yesterday, to return the loose hardware, about 15 minutes before closing time. the SAME GUY who helped me was on the phone, loudly, with a casino in atlantic city. another clerk asked if i needed help (found out they don't have the metric thread parts i needed), so i asked the phone clerk if i could do a return. his comment "we usually don't do returns on loose hardware". if so, where was the sign to that effect? sure didn't say it on my sales slip. i'll eat the $4 of parts, but i was so appalled at the attitude, the laziness, and the "me first" issues (you want to book a night in AC, fine, do it at 4:35 when you lock the door) that i am done here. yes it's homey and yes they have a lot of more obscure items (where else can you get turnbuckles outside of a marine supply store) but -- not worth the aggravation. read more

Would give 5 stars but one bad apple spoils the barrel,this store is great amazing what they have in stock ,a little more expensive than HD and convenient,but there's one guy there that's got a real bad attitude,owners gotta know who he is and remedy the situation before they have no business left. read more

Overpriced, rude & unpleasant. Tried to charge 25% more than marked price with excuse that price went up but omitted to reprice on package. New price would be 2x Home Depot. So much for supporting small store. Maybe if honest & reasonably overpriced but not here. Avoid!!! read more

A real old-fashioned, help you find what you need, well-stocked local hardware store. Everything from nails to housewares, paint, screws, tools and things you just can't even guess what they're for. Can't imagine the reviewer who said the staff were rude was actually in this store; it's as friendly and jovial as can be. You expect Andy Griffith to roll up and chat with Floyd the barber. But it's not just quaint. It's actually a place to find what you need and someone who can help you find - and use - it. read more

It's not the local friendly helpful store you would expect... definately not the service that would keep me from going a little further to a big box store with lower prices. read more

This is a marvelous store. I've shopped from three generations of the same family in this store and they all are friendly and knowledgeable. At most hardware stores women are treated as if they know nothing. This is never the case at Karig's. They are a source of pride in Livingston center. read more

Have relied on Karig's for many years, not only for hardware, but for advice! When I don't know how to fix something, Karig's is the first place I go. For those of us who hate the hassle of the Big Box Stores Karigs is a delight: loaded with whatever I need, easy parking, helpful staff and to complete the picture, ol' time candy! read more

This hardware store is the BEST!! It has EVERYTHING you might e er need, p,us it has the most HELPFUL staff around!

I love Karig's. The staff is very helpful, knowledgeable and nice. I have been going to this store forever and cannot say enough good things about the store. They always have what I need, give great advice and help. Their prices are fair and they have a huge variety of items.This is one of the last few hometown hardware stores left and I love the hometown feeling. My dog even gets a treat there too. read more

This is the best hardware store in the world! I used to go there as a kid with my dad and now take my kids there, they are so nice and helpful and will do whatever it takes to help you. It is a fixture in town and i would reccomend anyone to go there they will love it too. read more

Rude and obnoxious service in attempting to return ~$40 in merchandise. Store is dirty, staff is rude, and their policy is only ten days for refunds. pat hey point out thatt store credit offered as a courtesy. Only. They made me say please to get a store credit. May God strike me dead if I ever set foot in this store again! read more
