Regardless of their low rating, our landscaper guy and new contractor swear by this place. Off we…read morecame. Located at the Kingston Plaza in Kingston, NY, we came here for a color stain for raw pine doors we'd purchased at a door store. Herzog's is big- not Home Depot big- but it's got a lot of what you may need for home repairs. They carry lighting equipment, painting items, a kitchen+ bathroom design dep't, textiles, BBQ accessories, vacuum cleaners, gardening supplies, candles, some clothing- heck, even minimalist jewelry in a glass case, etc. My girl with the glasses in the paint department was smooth and patient. She took her time when we asked her questions about colors and how each color stain would react to raw wood. Service was fine, we left with smiles and was the opposite of everything that's been written here in the past. Whether you're working with a contractor like we are or you're one of those Do-It-Yourselfers, this is your place.

My experiences at this location have not been very good. It does not seem like a particularly…read moremotivated team here...not motivated to engage with customers, help customers, sell to customer. They do, however, seem motivated to: 1) Get off the phone with you as quickly as possible. 2) Send you to another department before you even finish what you are asking--or say "no," as quickly as possible, regardless of whether they are correct or not. At least they let you linger because they do sell lots of DIY equipment and materials...but with a "DIY mentality," ie find it yourself. Special call out to the Yelper who mentioned being sold a discontinued stain: 100%. Same thing happened with me with a marble sample.

Always found them to be very patient and helpful. The hardware store always has what I need. I used the lumber yard for a deck, with no issues. The prior review complained about handyman references. This is the Catskills. I've gone through roughly a dozen folks here. They all came recommended. They all were a huge disappointment - some after a few jobs, some after one. I've learned never to pay half up front without references, and I've posted to social media those folks who take half up front and disappear. Sadly, it has happened a couple of times. It's not the fault of the establishment thst recommended them.

There isn't so much wrong with Williams Lumber as there is with their recommendations of…read morecontractors. I relied on them to refer me to a contractor to do a roof repair on my home and they only provided me with two names. I went with Joe Remley- Builder/ Contractor or Ashland, NY and it turned out he was not such a good reference. In fact I had an awful experience. Remley required that I give him a down payment of several thousand dollars to have my roof repaired. I paid Remley the money he wanted and never saw him again. He didn't do any of the work he was supposed to do and has not been responsive to phone calls. Joe Remley is not directly affiliated with Ace Hardware/ Williams Lumber, that I know of, but I relied on Ace Hardware/ Williams Lumber to provide me with a reliable contractor and he wound up ripping me off and scamming me out of thousands of dollars with no work done. This is more of a warning to others to watch out for Joe Remley and to not put so much trust into Williams Lumber for contractor references. Very disappointed.

He is passionate about his craft, a genuine pleasure to talk to and can tell you everything about your typewriter, down to the manufacturing date, as well as how he repaired it and how to maintain it in great detail. While he no longer operates the storefront in Kingston, he continues to operate out of his home in Saugerties. Need a typewriter fixed? He will likely come to you to pick it up and drop it off. He moves pretty fast and does excellent work. If you're located in the Hudson Valley and need a typewriter repaired, Kevin is the man for the job!

I contain multitudes…read more 1. I enjoy the modern world. I like being able to go to a website, filter all my options, see all the specs of a product, select which one I want, pay for it and get it delivered without having to leave my house, or sometimes even talk to a person. 2. I also love supporting local businesses. I like being able to call a number where a human being (a really nice one named Leah) picks up the phone right away, and can answer all my questions. I like when someone like Leah can tell me what they have in stock that fits my needs, and how soon I could get it delivered. I like that Leah can give me a good price, and I like that the price includes delivery, installation, and taking away the old item that I'm replacing. I really like that the item in question (a fridge) got delivered when they said it would, and that there were no problems, or hidden charges. If #1 above resonates with you, HL Snyder is probably not the place you want to shop. Their website has a few options, but you're not going to be able to see their entire selection, and handle everything online. You may have to speak to a person, or go into the showroom. If #2 sounds like you, give HL Snyder a call, and they'll fix you up very nicely.

The owner and his son were very friendly and service was good. This place is packed full of stuff so you might have to dig for what you're looking for. The owner is either a liquidator or gets a lot of his stuff through the liquidation or estate sale process. My mom comes here often and she said he always has new stuff. Notable items include: the two chainsaws, antique furniture, the Harley Davidson signs, the classic video game consoles, vintage clocks, several blown holiday decorations, the Line 6 guitar amp and 4X12 guitar amp cabinet. I recommend checking this place out at least once a month if you live in the area, you never know what you might find.
