Our Origin Story
Family Hardware Corp. was started by our parents, George and Pauline Prescod, (Pauline is now deceased.) Our dad, now retired, was a licensed remodeling contractor in Boston for many years. As he neared his 40th birthday he realized the difficulty and impracticability of climbing ladders at age 50 and so decided to change his career path to becoming a business owner instead. He learned the basics of how to run an organization from a friend/mentor. The FHC concept became a reality at 995 Blue Hill Ave. Several years later, Family Hardware Corp moved to its present location at 1106 Blue Hill Ave in Dorchester.
Family Hardware Corp is staffed and now ran by three of the six children, Natalie Santos Castillo, Kimberly Thomas and George Prescod, Jr.

“I live around the corner from this place and I am so thankful for that! They have everything and have been so helpful in a pinch. Every time I’ve gone, I’ve needed some random screw or specific sized wrench and they knew their inventory well and always quickly asked what I needed and pointed me in the right direction. If you need something, they probably have it!”

“My recent trip to family hardware was nothing short of exceptional. This hardware store truly has it all! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the wide range of products and helpful staff. They had every single item I needed to complete my project, and the convenience of being just a short walk from my job made it even better. I'm so grateful for this gem of a store and highly recommend it to anyone in need of hardware supplies!"
