I love this place! Durfee has a cozy, small business atmosphere focused on the customer that is hard to find at the big chain stores. They usually have what I need and, if they dont, the staff is always friendly and will point you in the right direction.
This shop is the opposite of big box, and describing them as a chain retailer does them disservice. Durfee Hardware is preposterously overstaffed with friendly, helpful people. Multiple employees will offer to assist you every time youre in the store. Mr. Durfee is frequently in the store himself and has a great depth of knowledge on most home repair jobs. There are many older houses in eastern Cranston, and as they have been serving the neighborhood for decades, Durfee Hardware is particularly well-stocked in exactly the types of products needed to maintain the homes in the surrounding area. They can explain how to fix whats broken, then show you the things you need to do the job right.
The employees are always courteous good help looking for what I need prices arent outrageous I go there often
Place to go for small quantity items and older products to fix all sorts of things meaning, they have the parts or can get you the parts you need to finish your project. Very helpful staff. Great place to goto for a quick got to get item.
This is my favorite hardware store of all times! I used to live close; now we travel over 30 minutes (a lot for RI drivers) to shop there. If you need quality tools (better than at big box hardware stores), a small part that’s very hard to find, or screws/nuts/nails/bolts etc by the pound or just a single one, they’ve got them at a very fair prices. Mr. Durfee, alas, is gone, but he’s got an amazing staff that he trained to be professional, helpful, and kind. Think of the old time hardware stores with dusty floors, but the best service you could ever have. That’s Durfee’s Hardware store!
What a GREAT hardware store. I love the Old New England feel! Those old wooden floors creaking was the icing on the cake. Old fashion hardware store with all the modern products. The prices put the large box stores to shame. Nice work Durfee.
I visit a couple times a month and they always have what I need for competitive prices.
As soon as you walk in they make it feel like home. If only every place was like this.
Always a treat to go to Durfees. Keeps me out of big box hardware stores. Personalized attention from sales staff.
On line is very confusing to search or order anythingThere should be search on the top front page or in. the menu
Very helpful people. The store carries many things I cant find elsewhere.
Twice Ive needed a part. Twice I went to a big box store first, who didnt have it. Twice Ive found it at Durfee. These guys are awesome and incredibly helpful. They know where everything is off the top of their head. Go here first.
Fast, easy and courteous!
Guy was alittle rude but I love that store
The whole staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They have the largest key section I have ever seen, and were able to cut keys for my 90 year old locks. I cant say enough about how helpful they are.
I love this place. Its a time machine for me. I walk in and hurdle back 40 years to when I discovered this place. The big box stores dont have the soul of a real hardware store
I needed a screen replaced for an exterior door and there was an issue but one of the owners reached out personally & addressed the issues pretty quickly. Excellent service I would highly recommend Durfee Hardware
Awesome neighborhood hardware store! Friendly service and they have everything!
Everything is easy to find and customer service is too notch even if you cant. Amazing old fashioned hardware store in the 21st century.
This place is amazing! We just moved to the neighborhood and Ive been going here constantly. They have everything you need for your home and garden.
Visited Post Office after surgery to mail off paperwork. Post Office is utilized very much with usual crew.Have used True Value for years. Know place well enough to get what I need and be gone.
Really a 4.5-5 Stars. Great local shop. They were low on garden fencing supplies. So I took off half a star. Friendly staff.
Great as usual😊
Great old school hardware store that has it all.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Decently priced, too. Support local businesses or bust.
I was very happy with my first visit there. The gentleman i spoke to seemed quite knowledgeable about the projects i am undertaking. Much more personable interactions as opposed to a big box stores with each employee in there own departments with high turn over rates. Would absolutely go there again. Thanks!
Durfees is a great store, great service, they are always willing to help. Good prices.
They have everything you really need. Prices are comparable to other independent hardware stores. The staff were awesome and very knowledgeable. Thanks Durfees
I have been shopping here for decades. Great place. Great people. Good prices. Highly recommended. Arthur even helped me find my keys in my truck!
Great place ! One of the last of the old school hardware stores
These guys are the best. Love the old school service....
They had the glass door knob we needed in stock. Salesman was very helpful
Good old fashioned hardware store!!
Durfee Hardware and the people that work there are unsurpassed. it is refreshing to talk to people that actually know what theyre talking about and also know what the customer is talking about. A big thank you to Jordan for helping me out with a lock that I have been unable to find without spending a lot of money.
I usually go to the big boxes, but I went in because I needed a particular item, and I was already on that street. I was greeted when I walked in, and again by the young woman working the hand tool section upstairs. She spent 10 minutes helping me, and could not have been nicer. Reasonable prices, too (I expected it to be more expensive). They really did provide superior service, and I was in and out in 11 minutes. Quite an impressive store :)
I stopped in today with an old worn out shutoff valve. The gentleman at the plumbing counter cleaned it and put on a couple of new parts. I went home screwed it back on and all fixed. This kind of service does not exist at the big box stores and I cannot than you enough!! They are awesome!!
I thought price gouging was illegal? I needed some light bulbs. At the register they were selling small bottles of hand sanitizer for $15.99, a pack of 10 paper masks for $30.and cheesy gloves way overpriced. Thankfully the pharmacy i go to has boxes of gloves 100 for $8.00. I think Its awful the gouging thats going on in this tiny little state.
Resolved my key copy issue! Awesome customer service.
Great to have a Wonderful Hardware store in the neighborhood. People there are knowledgeable and all ways willing to help. YOU need to shop there
Very helpful staff. Good selection of merchandise.
I go to Durfees Hardware store when I need the tiniest nut and bolt, weird size of anything, theyve got it. All old fashioned accessories, to replace or repair old sentimental items. Most of the time, Durfees has what youre looking for. And it hasnt really changed. The interior is nostalgic.
LOVE this store. You just cant find this kind of local service and help anymore. All of the Ace hardware stores are just small Walmarts. The people here actually answer the phone when you call the store. Staff is beyond helpful and friendly and they even help load orders to your vehicle. Do not waste your time at Ace, call or go by Durfees today!!
If you cant find it at Durfees you cant find it anywhere. They have pretty much anything. Love this store.
Staff isAlways very helpful knowledgable. They always have what i need and there prices are great . wish there were more stores like this one. There should be one in every neighborhood
An old fashion hardware store. With professional customer service. A long time staple of the neighborhood. Better than those box stores.
Many knowledgeable workers around to help out if youve got questions. They almost always have what Im looking for. Their hardware section upstairs is very good; well-stocked and orderly. Love the creaky, old hardwood floors. I hope theyre grooming the next generation... Id hate to see Durfees end up like Bennys.
Im happy to have live close to this awesome spot. so easy for me to stock up my stuff for my work.
Great service! I didnt have to chase a clerk down just to have them tell me it wasnt their department. They took me right to the section I needed and stayed with me to make sure I got what I needed. A little more expensive than the box stores but worth the convince and service. A rare gem these days.
This place is the best! If they dont have what you need they can tell you where to find it. They are always helpful!
Durfee Hardware alway has what I need. They are helpful to find the items to complete my job. I highly recommend this store for any hardware needs.
I have been shopping here for 40 plus years they are the best!! I always shop at Durfees family owned and everyone is awesome and very knowledgeable!
Theres old-fashioned customer service here that you cant find anywhere else. The man at the middle desk always helps me by telling me what I need and how to do it. I wont go anywhere else!
I’ve been going to Durfees forever!They always have the little thingy you need to finish the job!
The classic hardware store we all remember and hope never vanishes due to the “big boxers”. Great service, great variety, and a tremendous “vibe”. Give them business, you will not be disappointed. Don’t let the “big 2” cause us to lose this one.
The level of customer service is unparallelled. If you happen to be undertaking a project where you need some expert advice, the expertise is always there.You always feel that the folks who work there are glad you came, and glad to help you in any way they can.
My favorite place for copies of keys and ice melt among other great things like perfect staff and awesome costumer service.
A wonderful friendly place for your hardware needs. All of the staff is very helpful too.
Best Place In The State Of Rhode Island For Home Accessories And Household Repairs If You Want
Very cozy and traditional atmosphere and great help!
As expected superior to every hardware store around ! Always had been the place to go for hardware.
Great friendly knowledgeable staff with a throw back to the good old days feeling.

Great hardware store. Always have what I need.
Overpriced useless hardware store go to Walmart n home Depot.. nobody helps most likely next local business to go out of business. Sad but true.
When arriving you are greeted with a hello. I always get what I need, then love to walk around, no pressure, ALWAYS helpful staff!!!!
Always have what you need
The worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life, especially by the young fellow in the key department. He will never go back again.
Has everything I need to keep up our 90+ year old house. Countless tools, nuts and bolts, yard stuff, and lots of advice.
Competitive prices, very helpful staff, always informative. If they dont have the fastener you need, it doesnt exist.
Dear Durfee Hardware,Durfees must be one of the best hardware stores in all of New England: the staffs level of customer service is always first-rate and their level of expertise is the off the chart.Thanks Durfees!Sincerely,John LongPawtuxet Village, RI
An amazing multi-generational solution store. Got a mouse problem, explain it to them and theyll not only point you to the mouse traps, but theyll help solve the how and gently explain it every step of the way.
Good people it store and good services.
Durfees is the best hardware store in America.
