BHI Hardware & General: The Place That Keeps Your Home Running

If you own a home on Bald Head Island — whether you’re here full-time, part-time, or renting it out — BHI Hardware & General is the spot you end up relying on more than you realize. Things on this island age faster. Salt air, storms, guests, turnover weekends — the small fixes stack up. Having an on-island hardware store isn’t a convenience. It’s a necessity.

BHI Hardware & General carries what actually matters here: replacement parts for the hinge that rusted overnight, cleaning supplies to prep before guests arrive, paint and repair items to get ahead of coastal wear, garden and outdoor basics that can stand up to the humidity, and all the “didn’t think to pack that” essentials. If you manage a rental, you already know: one missing item can cost you a review. This store saves you from that.

What sets them apart is simple — they understand island problems because they live them too. The staff knows which products last, which brands aren’t worth your time here, and what quick fixes will get you through until you can fully repair something on your next visit. No guesswork. No mainland trial-and-error.

The truth is, homes here require attention — steady, practical upkeep. BHI Hardware & General makes that doable without a ferry ride. They keep the island’s homes, rentals, and routines functioning day-to-day. And that’s the kind of business worth supporting.
