Came back a couple of days later and a service member took my blower to the back after I explained my problem. He was gone for 30 minutes; then I noticed their labor sign for diagnosis and minimum charges. I started to get nervous because I was told earlier if it was a simple screw issue there would not be a charge. The service tech came back and said he re-inserted the screw but will probably work itself out again. He recommended a formal diagnostic. There was no charge for this visit. Nice to know there are a few stores still left that are knowledgeable and helpful with the clock off. Please support Fairfax Ace.

I'm not sure how they only hire the nicest, most helpful employees. Now price point is why only four stars. I can get a 40lb bag from TS Woodbridge for $7.99, I paid almost double here, $14+. I didn't feel like driving all the was to TS so I paid the eye gauging price. A gentleman employee took it out to my car and our brief conversation solidified why I continue to shop here. Now if they would just lower their prices, lol.

I absolutely love Rockler in Fairfax! I thought I'd try something new and took "Woodworking basics…read morefor women" with Sarah in June 2025. I loved everything about it! I then took 11 classes that I've also loved!! Woodworking basics for women (Sarah), Live Edge Epoxy (David L), Shop Safety Woodworking 101 (Bruce), Cabinet making (Bruce), Make a Cherry Wine Box (David L), Build a Bookcase (Bruce), Shaper Origin (David L), Sign making (David L), Woodburning (Sarah), make and take Christmas Ornament (Sarah), and a make and take cheese board class (Mike) ... I'm sure I'm forgetting a class... all within 6 months!! :) The store is clean and staffed with very knowledgeable, patient, and kind people that all share a love of woodworking. I am thankful for all of those that I have met and all that they have taught me.

If you're into woodworking and live near Fairfax, this is the perfect store for you. The place is…read morehuge with everything you could ever need for woodworking. I sometimes come here just to browse what kind of tools I may be missing. Rockler has everything from tiny dowels to thousands-of-dollar heavy equipment. What I usually come here for is to get hardwood and baltic ply. The hardwood selection here is great and it's reasonably priced. Most of them are S4S or S3S so in the worst case, I can use my table saw to rip the unfinished side. You only pay for what you need so you can have them cut a longer piece and not pay for the reminder! That's amazing. Note that they only cut longer wood to fit in your car. Rockler currently does not offer planing or joining services. The guy over there said they are looking into supporting such services soon but as of today, that's not an option. Rockler also has wood-turning and other general woodworking classes. There's a small classroom inside the store itself. If you need anything woodworking, Rockler is it!

I was told that this lumber yard and Smoot's is owned by the same company. I came today to pick up some from moldings, because I'm in the process of re-finishing our basement myself. From what Ive seen so far, their prices are decent, and it's a huge lumber yard. They have an interesting showroom, and they carry all different kinds of molding. I don't like the pick-up system that is outside. After my order was paid, I was instructed to drive around to the back to pick-up my order. There were 10 other customers standing outside doing the same thing, and there is no real system or actual line in place. They would simply help whoever they felt like helping. I got skipped and that was irritating.
