Incredibly sexist and hostile workers. It's a cute local business, so I expected the atmosphere to…read morebe good. The cashier was unnecessarily rude, contradicted himself again and again, and felt the need to "push me around" while making fun of me. They have treated me and other female friends especially badly. I can't help but feel as though I would have been treated differently as a male customer. Save your money and your time!

This is from a seller's perspective. I'm very happy to see…read moregood reviews. The owner came to view and purchase tons of tools from an estate that had been piling up since the 1920's. He paid a fair price and did all the lugging, even from the 3rd floor apartment. He is an interesting and cordial man and as I see from other comments, true to his word about pricing in his store. I can without reservation highly recommend the tool shed in Waltham.

Dishonest! I wanted to replace a set of bifold closet doors. When I contacted Home Depot I…read moreprovided them with the measurements that another company had already provided. I was told that they had to come to measure so fine. They did and someone was supposed to contact me within 2-3 business days. They did not so I reached out and finally contacted Joan Gomes. She spent a great deal of time 'trying to find' the right doors and offered me a $1000 door or for $372 or so I thought a mismatched pair of doors. When I said I was willing to consider the mismatched set all of sudden she is quoting me over $1000 for installation and the doors. When I ask for my $40 back because they don't have what I want I am told my fee is non-refundable. Well, if you don't have the product I told you in the first place that I wanted then I should get my money back! She was deceitful writing in her email to me that she was closing the case because of the cost. She didn't have the doors to fit my closet. Update: I am amending my review because after posting, I was contacted and Home Depot researched my situation and refunded the $40 fee. I appreciate very much their doing the right thing.

My building changed their locks and gave us instructions to get copies of the master. So naturally I went to the place down the street with the giant sign that says "Keys made here". You would have thought I asked this man to shave his beard off. Little free tip for you. The correct response to "Im looking to copy this key" is not "Nope. How many more of you are gonna come down here it's ridiculous". My bad I meant to organize with every renter in my complex so we can all go get our keys at once and maybe grab dinner after. Instead, try: "sorry we're actually sold out of that key. Try another store or check back next week". Maybe even throw in some friendly banter? Idk just spit balling. Go to Broadway Lock if you want actual solutions instead of misdirected anger.

I love this Ace Hardware and always do my best to go here, or to the Yumont Hardware, instead of…read moreHome Depot. Home Depot is the worst (see my review on HD). I love supporting a local business (Ace is a franchise, so it is better for the local economy than Home Depot). I generally am able to easily find most of the things I need for small house or gardening projects and for bigger things, or things that aren't in the store, they can order it and have it delivered to your home. We ordered a bunch of outdoor furniture through them. Most recently, I grabbed some garden shears and wire tomato growing cages at Ace. I like the employees and generally find them to be helpful and happy to have me as a customer. Highly recommended.

Don't blame a Miami girl for wanting to have some sledding fun! I learned earlier today that this…read moresleds are cheap and sold at hardware stores so I ran to Hardware City in my neighborhood. I was welcomed into the stores and began conversation with the two employees at the front. They helped me pick a sled and went to go get the round ones for the back so that I could see all the available options. It was a very pleasant experience and I would totally come back here again!

Looking for a specific woodworking product which was supposed to be in stock in the store, I called…read moreahead to be sure. The person who answered the Hardware phone line checked the shelves in person, since I was driving in from a distance. "Yes, it was on the shelves", he said. Once in the store, a young employee asked me what I was looking for. When I told him, he said "the store did not carry that product." Fortunately I knew better, and told him that I already had verified that it was on the shelves somewhere. He walked away, leaving me to find it on my own, which I eventually did. If I had not verified it's presense, I would have driven home empty handed. Maybe this employee could use a little more training?

The main reason why I use Tags is their location in Porter Square. I find that the staff are…read morefriendly and try to be helpful. However, the pricing is extremely high compared to some other big box stores or ACE hardware locations outside of the city. I highly recommend using their order online for in store pickup for the best pricing since the store will follow the online pricing vs the shelf sticker price. Online orders come with a paper bag that has a handle which makes it nice and easy to carry out. There are two floors to the store, with the majority of home improvement things being on the lower level.

I am impressed and look forward to coming back! **Side note, the nice guy working at True Value in South Boston sent me to you all after he realized he didn't have what I needed. :)
