Like all great stories, brief human connections can mean so much. On a Friday at Adler's, a customer introduced himself to Marc Adler. The customer mentioned that Adler's Paint was the name used for baseball team, in a movie that a Rhode Island guy co-wrote.

For 107 years Adler's has been based on real human interactions. We do our best to answer every customer’s question with honest advice. When a customer asks me a question, I always think “What would I do if it were my house?" I think you will find that all of our wonderful staff, many of whom have worked at Adler’s for decades- do likewise. It's a very simple formula that has served us well over many decades.

If you’ve ever driven up Benefit Street on a snowy winter day, you know the feeling — as if you’ve stepped into a storybook. The rows of historic homes, the intricate details, the unmistakable charm — they’re what make Providence, Providence.
