Jacob Babad spent over a decade working in paint manufacturing when he was approached to buy a small hardware store in Haverstraw, New York. He realized that there was a void in this type of store within the shomer Shabbat community in Monsey, so he moved the Rockland Hardware and Paint Supply store to Monsey. Starting small with an 1,800-square-foot garage behind a commercial building, the store more than quadrupled in size to become an over-8,000-square-foot wholesale and retail supplier.
The business grew and Rockland Hardware and Paint Supply had been making daily deliveries to New Jersey. So when Able Hardware in Clifton, New Jersey went up for sale; they decided they could now add local service to the Clifton, Passaic, Paramus, Bergenfield, Teaneck and Fairlawn Orthodox communities as well.
Clifton Ace Hardware and Paint Supply is the only Shomer Shabbat hardware store in The Jewish Link New Jersey readership area. Uniquely sensitive to this issue, their knowledgeable and experienced service team provides quality service and products that not only meet their customer’s material needs, but they also understand that sometimes “the clock is ticking” on getting essential items. Because they understand the special needs of Orthodox shomer Shabbat families, you spend less time explaining or creating a “workaround.” They know what you need.
Especially preceding Passover and Sukkot, when it can be crucial to fulfill the Yom Tov needs of your home in a single location, Clifton Hardware and Paint Supply makes it their business to provide those essential needs comprehensively and efficiently.
The company and the staff thrive on providing excellent quality products and outstanding service. “When people get lost in the Home Depot, they come to us for personal service,” Babad explained. He also noted that they joined with the ACE hardware corporation at the Clifton store, because of their strong business-to-business program for supplying paint and janitorial supplies to customers who own or manage properties.
Seen on Google reviews: “Pricing, service, staff. The best of the best!” “I was finished in a most timely manner and [the products are] reasonably priced.” “You can get them delivered for a fraction of the price.”
