For anyone who is looking to take on a home project, we’re excited to share the news that Central Paint & Hardware is now open in Downtown Cranford! Located at 106 South Avenue West, the Cranford location is the tenth Central Paint & Hardware owned by the Pahiakos family. Billy, whose father originally started the company, manages the Cranford location. He works alongside Roger and Dylan, both of whom previously worked at Westfield Lumber.

Benjamin Moore Paint is a mainstay at all of the Central Paint and Hardware locations. “Benjamin Moore always puts out a quality product,” said Billy. “The paint is vibrant, goes on smoothly, and offers great coverage.” Central Paint & Hardware also sells everything customers would need for a paint job, including brushes, rollers, paint samples, painter’s tape, and more. Step beyond the paint section, and you’ll find a full selection of home items, including power tools, lighting, plumbing, electrical supplies, home and garden items, and much more. Billy and his employees don’t hesitate when asked about what sets Central Paint & Hardware apart from similar stores. “We provide personal customer service and recommendations, and we have the experience to back it up,” said Roger.

Central Paint & Hardware is open 7am-5pm Monday through Friday, and 7:30am-4pm on Saturday. You can give them a call at 908-936-7370 or visit centralpaintandhardware.com/. The store offers parking in the back, as well as a handicap accessible entrance.
