We are renovating and they are way friendlier and more competent than Aaron across the street. And yes, they are more affordable. Can’t beat it! Plus, Dave is like the mayor of that block and knows every friendly soul in Bed Stuy. I was surprised to see this profile while looking for their address. They deserve it. Plus, his mom is hilarious. And watch her upsell you on Avon while you are there to buy nails! Can’t say enough about them.

When I was stripping paint, I was paying $10 more for each tin of Rock Miracle. Too bad I discovered Big Brothers when I was almost finished.

Great resource for the neighborhood. MUCH cheaper than Sister’s Community Hardware on Fulton (Fulton & Washington), that I live closer to. I actually thought you had mistyped the name of the store when you made this post.

I never knew Big Brother’s was the name of this place.

And this goes for most of the shops in Beacon. They are never open! When do people work on their houses? On weekends! The Beacon hardware shop closes at 3pm on Saturdays and is closed on Sundays. Who do they think they are, Dykes Lumber? I don’t want to hear them complaining when Home Depot puts them out of business. And yesterday I tried to support my local pet food store and they were closed. Small business owners…if you want to stay in business, you kind of have to work at it. Ok, that’s my rant for today.

I love little hardware stores. There’s one on 35th Street (between 5th & 6th) in Manhattan that I adore. My little hometown hardware store is an Ace (franchise owned by a local family) and everyone in there is really great. I even sent a love letter about them to the Ace corporate offices.
