True Value HARDWARE…read more The 1st thing to remember is that everyone is struggling with staff and to be kind to the staff who are there in trying to help people. I found that the staff were more than willing to help me. The store was clean and well organized. It's a typical True Value hardware different tools, paint, barbecue, nails , screws,and items needed for houses. It's a fair value for accessibility rather than a giant big box store. They do a good job of trying to serve people the best way they can and make sure they have plenty of cashiers. Parking was easy and plentiful. It's got a small town feel to it.

I feel sorry for the owner. I was in your establishment last night, Friday, looking for some…read moreaccessories for some weed or weed-eating stuff, and I simply asked the question of how much money it would cost me to have a blade sharpened in an Ego trencher. The girl that was there, and you're paying her, I'm assuming, which is a waste of money, just started giving me a range. And then when I tried to pin her down, she said, Okay, well, $15. And then I'm saying, Well, maybe you could actually have somebody call me with an actual number, and she walked away. So I won't be back. She's worthless, lazy, pathetic. I don't know how you do it with the kids of today. I wish you well, but I will not be back, and you may want to have a talk with her. I have seen other reviews saying same so good luck.

We went to the Altoona Menards looking for a water heater. They had a large selection of choices in…read morethe store. We approached an employee and found him (Gary) to be very helpful and knowledgeable regarding the questions we had for our needs. We decided on a tankless version. Gary made sure we had all of the information needed to make the transition from a traditional water heater to the tankless. We truly appreciated his efforts, as it made the whole experience a little easier.

BEWARE!!! I purchased carpet at the Altoona Store and contacted the contractors they had on a list…read more I ended up hiring Tony Johnson from Des Moines. He did an absolute TERRIBLE job installing the carpet. There was a gap between the wall and the carpet in the hallway that he had to have known was there, the carpet wasn't fastened down on the ends or folded over, he used the utility knife and left multiple blades on my windowsill for my grandson to get into. Tony refused to refund any money. Please see attached pictures. Evidently Menards doesn't check to see if these people actually know how to install carpet. I contacted Menards and was told they could not do anything because they don't work for them. I assume that he's probably still on the list as a contractor-do not use Tony Johnson.
