Part of the experience of owning a home is dealing with the minor maintenance issues that inevitably arise. But if you’re a do-it-yourselfer, a trip to the local hardware store to find the right plumbing parts or a replacement glass pane can be a point of pride, one of the meaningful rituals of homeownership and a big part of what bonds you to your place of residence.

For Rochester residents, that trusty local hardware store for over 65 years has been Black’s Hardware, founded in 1948 by Irving and David Black. Black’s Hardware prides itself on providing quality hardware supplies for the whole community through their experienced, knowledgeable staff. 

Window Maintenance

One of the simplest and most important tasks for home improvement is keeping windows in great shape year-round. Accordingly, Black’s Hardware is a one-stop shop for window maintenance, offering not only custom-cut glass replacement but also screen repairs, custom window and screen frames, and thermopane glass replacement solutions to keep your home bright, comfortable, and shielded from the elements.

Keys & Locks

Just as important as your home’s windows are your doors. Whether you need parts to replace a doorknob or deadbolt or simply a new backup set of keys, Black’s Hardware will help you quickly find what you need. Certified Auto Chip Key Center, Black’s Hardware can even duplicate car keys of all types.

Tool Maintenance

A trusted local hardware store isn’t just a great place to buy tools. Black’s Hardware also offers sharpening service to help keep your lawnmower blades, hedge trimmers, hatchets, and other tools in the best shape.

Plumbing Needs

For the serious do-it-yourselfer, finding the right plumbing parts can be a big part of maintenance. Black’s Hardware offers parts you may not be able to find at a cookie-cutter hardware store, and they even offer pipe threading services for custom pieces.
