Garber stocks the full range you'd expect from a serious hardware store: fasteners, plumbing fittings, hand tools, power tools, paint and painting supplies, electrical components, and the kind of miscellaneous hardware that makes you wonder how you'd manage without a real shop nearby.
Beyond the shelves, the store functions as a building materials and home goods resource for the neighborhood, carrying garden supplies and home improvement essentials suited to city apartments and townhouses alike. Special orders are handled quickly, so even if your exact item isn't in stock, you're not left waiting.
The service side is what separates Garber from a warehouse retailer. Staff will help you diagnose the problem, recommend the right product, and occasionally just fix the thing on the spot. That kind of hands-on help is rare anywhere, and nearly extinct in lower Manhattan.
