We are now BEAUFORT HARDWARE & PAINT COMPANY.
Since we were founded almost 30 years ago, our goal has been to give you excellent customer service. By changing from part of a national chain to Beaufort Hardware & Paint, we will keep our hometown focus, while offering better prices and better products. Better Prices, Better Products and More Focus on You!
A Letter from Tommy
It gives me great pleasure to share some exciting news!
Since I opened the store in 1998, it’s been an amazing journey for my staff and for me. Over the years, we have worked hard and been honored to achieve the highest rankings from our peers in the industry. A big part of this success has always been the wonderful support we have received from our community and our customers.
To continue being the best in service and customer care, we have chosen a new path, which will bring our customers better pricing and broader product lines. To do this, I made a difficult business decision to become an independent hardware store.
With our transition to Beaufort Hardware & Paint Company, there will be operational changes behind the scenes, but our customers will only see a new name and a larger selection of products.
During the changeover, you may see aisles moving and some of our products changing location. Don’t worry, our staff will be here to help you find just the item you need. We will continue to carry your favorite brands, such as Benjamin Moore paint. And, we are proud to announce that we are now a full-line Benjamin Moore Paint dealer!
As always, it has been my goal to be the best in service and product selection of any local hardware store. With these new changes, we will be better than ever before! The staff at Beaufort Hardward & Paint Company look forward to continuing to provide you with wonderful customer service. We are very grateful for your continuing patronage and support throughout this transition.
Thank you.
Tommy Simpson, Owner
Beaufort Hardware & Paint Company
