Burke Brothers Hardware

Burke Brothers Hardware has stood on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh since John and Paul opened the business in 1936. The aisles hold paint and sundries, power tools, hand tools and the small hardware that a project always turns out to need.

There is an online catalog alongside the in-store selection, and the staff will special order anything the shelves do not carry. Ninety years after that start, it is still the kind of neighborhood hardware store that keeps a deep stock on hand and answers questions at the counter.

What to know

• The store is a Benjamin Moore dealer and carries a full range of paint sundries.
• Staff repair screens in house with new materials, including splines.
• Door hardware on the shelves includes Kwikset passage levers in satin nickel.
• The team will help with building and renovation questions and with project planning.
• Availability of catalog items can vary by store, so it helps to check first.
