Star and Son Electrical Supply

Industrial rows settle into the evening quiet behind 39-29 23rd Street, where delivery vans crisscross and warehouse mouths stay open late. Around the corner you’ll find a door with no flash—just utility, stamped with Star and Son Electrical Supply. They keep the grid humming, moving the nuts, switches, and conduits contractors circle back for at the end of each job.

The gray-brick building is easy to miss unless you’re counting poles or pulling conduit specs. Inside are the thin shelves and rail-bin aisles you expect when wire counts in miles rather than feet. The place stocks more than just hardware—panels, meters, safety gear in standard bore and the odd offshore brand that still shows up in the job set.

None of its customers linger for small talk; call ahead to confirm stock or pre-load a will-call ticket on the way. They can read labels while standing on the loading dock, or have a driver swing by Astoria’s side streets within an hour. Ring (718) 280-5989 to pin down cut lengths, cutouts, or rush delivery if the plans just changed.

Sketch the corner onto any navigation app—directions live here. Watch for the white-and-red flag that marks the entrance, then brake before the crosswalk.
