Our Company History

A.H. Angerstein, Inc. is a family-owned and operated company that opened its doors for business when Albert H. Angerstein, Sr. purchased a small company that sold coal and feed in 1924.

Shortly thereafter, his son, Albert H. Angerstein, Jr., joined the company and helped run the business. The company proved to be successful, so the owners forged ahead, adding some hardware and building materials, as well as heating oil, to their product offerings.

In 1963, Bruce W. Greene, Mr. Angerstein’s son-in-law, joined the family business. Under Mr. Greene’s direction, the company defined its niche by servicing contractors and homebuilders. As the company grew, it branched into the fast-growing markets of windows, doors, mirrors, kitchens, baths and lighting, servicing DIY-ers and homeowners, along with contractors.

In 1995, Angerstein’s expanded their product offerings in their hardware store, enabling the company to accommodate many more “Do-It-Yourself” customers.

After making deliveries for years to the Delaware beach resorts and surrounding areas, Angerstein’s opened a store in Sussex County, Delaware in 2006. Primarily a hardscaping and building supply store, Angerstein’s South – as we fondly refer to it – is an excellent addition to the family.

Present Day: What We’re Doing Now

Today, Angerstein’s Building Supply is a one-stop shopping destination well-known by area contractors, builders, architects and homeowners. In addition to a large inventory of building supplies, you will find a hardware store, rental center, specialty masonry supplies and a large selection of professional grade tools and equipment.

Angerstein’s is also one of the largest distributors of E. P. Henry paving stones on the East Coast. We feature beautiful paving stone displays – patios, retaining walls, stairs ,and even outdoor kitchens with built-in grills and refrigerators.

You’ll also want to check out Angerstein’s Lighting & Design Center, a showplace featuring unique products for your home. You will see a beautiful collection of residential lighting, ceiling fans, lamps, home accessories, fireplaces, patio furniture and gas grills. We are also known throughout the tri-state area as the place to go for your home remodeling needs, as well as fresh new decorating ideas, quality merchandise, and knowledgeable sales associates.

Every single member of the Greene family is active in the operations of the company these days, and Angerstein’s has become the premier building supply and design center in the state of Delaware and surrounding areas. Don’t wait to visit us soon!
