If I could leave zero stars, I would. Three years after hiring General Lumber, we're still dealing…read morewith the consequences of their poor workmanship and lack of accountability. We selected General Lumber after comparing several companies, trusting Robert--our main point of contact--who repeatedly assured us, "We're local and not going anywhere." That promise quickly unraveled. We hired them to order Marvin windows and manage installation for 17 windows across two units in our building. They were not the cheapest, but we chose them based on their claim of experience and quality. During installation, Robert and his contractor decided to alter the placement of the windows without understanding the original design intent or performing any verification. They admitted they "didn't understand" why our previous windows were placed where they were--but moved forward anyway. We trusted them as the supposed experts. That was a costly mistake. Shortly after installation, water began leaking into both units and the shared lobby during rainstorms. These areas had never experienced water intrusion in the five years prior to the install. We raised the issue immediately in September 2021. Robert visited once, performed a cursory visual inspection, and began a months-long pattern of excuse-making and blame-shifting. He variously blamed a "once-in-a-lifetime storm," the cornice, and our roof--none of which stood up to basic scrutiny or third-party inspections. Instead of acknowledging the problem or investigating further, Robert and General Lumber resorted to misinformation and deflection. At one point, they claimed water wasn't entering "through or around" their installation--ignoring the fact that they had changed the physical placement of the windows, which compromised drainage and blocked weep holes. Our own hose testing demonstrated conclusively that water was entering above the windows--exactly where they sealed over a critical drainage gap. General Lumber refused to take accountability, perform any real diagnostics, or even revisit the job site for follow-up testing. When we withheld the final payment due to unresolved issues, they threatened us with legal action and filed a lien against our property. We went to arbitration. My husband, with no legal training, meticulously presented our evidence. Robert and his legal team were unprepared. Their entire defense relied on vague references to extreme weather and unverified claims--while we provided photographic evidence, water test results, contractor correspondence, and expert confirmations. The arbitrator ruled in our favor. The outcome? We still have 12 faulty windows that will need to be completely redone at a cost of $12,000 or more--on top of the $28,000 we already paid General Lumber. Robert and his team never stood by their work, never offered a solution, and used legal threats to try and silence us. This has been a nightmare of wasted time, money, and stress. If you're considering General Lumber--especially if you're trusting Robert to stand by his word--proceed with caution. They talk a good game about being "local" and reputable. But when things go wrong, they disappear, deflect, and leave you to pick up the pieces.

What does this have to do with a hardware store in Newark's Ironbound? I needed a duplicate key for my new apartment, found this place on Yelp and it was only two blocks from my place. I went there I dropped off my key to whom I presume was Manny, the proprietor. While the key was cut, I browsed around; they have basic hand tools, janitorial supplies, spackle, small hardware, barbecue stuff, basically what apartment dwellers need. When the key was cut he said, "One fifty." I reached into my pocket and found... nothing. My cash was in my other pants, from before the change. He told me to pay next time, but for me, that wouldn't do. I grabbed an extension cord to make the total worth the credit card transaction. Good people, good service that you don't often see anymore. Since they are only two blocks from my doorstep, I should come back more often.

The most unprofessional experience ever. Don't waste your time. The women at the front desk were…read moreconstantly bickering, uninformed, and rude to customers. One of these women had a horrible attitude from the moment I walked in. I was shocked that while I waited, they not only had petty arguments with one another, but were nasty about other customers while I was sitting there. Someone apparently called about benefits, and when one of them asked about it, the other woman said things like "I'm not going to check them for her" and "I don't care if she gets her contacts/glasses." I don't know what I expected from people who clearly care so little about their jobs and hate one another. They hadn't checked my contact exam benefits even though I called the day before and they said it's $10-clearly, she didn't even check. I asked her on the phone are you sure, for contact lenses? And she said yes. So I had to wait for them to check in the office. Basically, neither of them had any idea what my benefits were or how to explain them. They kept asking each other for clarification and telling me conflicting things. It boiled down to "if you get the exam and buy contacts, you have coverage. If you get the exam and don't buy anything, you have to pay for the exam." But wait! They said I couldn't buy anything that day because I'd have to get a trial pair and wait a week to buy contacts. What???? So essentially, I had to buy something so I wouldn't have to pay for my exam, but they wouldn't let me buy contacts that day. I never got my exam and left. Avoid at all costs.
