About New York Empire Trades

New York Empire Trades Inc. was founded by Brian in the heart of Queens, New York — one of the most active construction markets in the entire country. What started as a vision to better serve the working contractors and tradespeople of NYC has grown into a full-service hardware and building materials supply company trusted by professionals across all five boroughs.

We are fully licensed by the State of New York and registered with the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, giving our customers complete confidence that they are dealing with a legitimate, properly insured business. This is not a side operation. This is a professional supply company built for the long haul.

Our mission is straightforward: provide quality tools, materials, and equipment at competitive prices, backed by reliable local delivery across New York City. We stock professional-grade products from brands that contractors actually use on the job — Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Klein Tools, Behr, Schlage, SharkBite, and dozens more. No cheap knockoffs. No inflated pricing. Just the products you need to get the job done right.

Who We Serve

We serve licensed NYC contractors, property managers, building superintendents, renovation companies, and serious DIY homeowners. Whether you are framing a new residential build in Brooklyn, rewiring a brownstone in Manhattan, or renovating a kitchen in Queens, we have the tools and materials you need — and we can deliver them to your job site the same day.

Our Location

Our headquarters is located at 136-21 Hillside Ave, Suite 304, Richmond Hill, Queens, NY 11418. Richmond Hill sits at the crossroads of some of NYC's busiest construction corridors, giving us fast access to job sites across Queens, Brooklyn, and beyond. We offer local delivery to all five boroughs, with free delivery on orders over $500 and same-day delivery available for in-stock items ordered before noon.

Contractor Accounts

We offer dedicated contractor accounts with bulk pricing, Net 30 payment terms, priority job site delivery, and quick reorder capability.
