The friendliest and most helpful staff of any hardware store. Typically knowledgeable old timers who want to assist you. Way nicer than the big box hardware stores. What I love best is they have an enormous amount of screws, bolts, nuts and in all metal types: chrome, titanium, stainless steel, brass etc. Metric, SAE. read more

They have a great inventory of a variety of products. The staff is very friendly, and we're always asked if we need help as we shop.

Good quality stock and helpful employees. A great store overall. Lots of easy access parking . read more

I needed a 9V battery. Simple. Went here and grabbed a 2 pack of 9V Energizers. Total came to $14.00 after tax. Had a few other errands and when I stopped to think about my purchase I thought it may have been a bit high. Try twice the average cost. I get it. Your store is convenient. But twice the price? Well, I went back and returned the overpriced batteries and went to Walmart instead. I'm done being a customer. You see, you had so many employees standing around talking, five to be exact, and three cashiers. Apparently you need to downsize staff and lower the prices. I can't afford your store anymore. Goodbye and good luck. read more

I go to Denaults Ace Hardware, if I need help I don't have to walk the entire store and find no one, like the big box stores. Recently I needed a couple small screws. The guy spent 15 minutes with me for a $0.90 sale. Their prices might be a little higher over all but they're worth it. read more

Great customet servi es from seasoned employees. Check out is fast,too. Good selection of nuts, bolts and screws. EZ parking. read more

I brought in my broken window screen. They fixed the broken frame by taking a plastic corner brace from their stock and shaping it to fit my screen frame. They took the time to do this for me, and I really appreciate this. They did not even charge me for this. The people at this store are the greatest. read more

I was beyond impressed with Ken. The manager of Ace Hardware at Town Center LN. I went into buy a bar b q and he tried all of his suppliers to find the item but was unable to. He then researched it on the web and sent me to another business that gave me The best deal. He truly is a man of integrity and I deeply appreciate his help. I will always support Ace because of Ken's work and leadership read more

Very helpful staff. Readily available advice compared to bigger stores. Great place to shop when you are looking just for a specific item.

Excellent service. They will answer your questions and get you the right hardware part or tool or whatever you need.

Tony was so helpful. I came in with a dated shower valve, and Toni helped me find the parts I needed to why The problem occurred, helped me rebuild the valve. He took about 15 minutes out of his day to help me fix some thing I knew a bit about but not quite enough the guys pro and they had all the parts we needed. Thank you. read more

We love LN Denault's!! The level of expertise of the staff on the floor is unmatched. Jerry spent so much time with us today solving a dilemma we had installing our new RO system. My husband is a contractor/tradesman himself and Denault's is his go to for our home improvement projects. He loves knowing he'll always find someone who knows more than he does about whatever he's trying to accomplish. Bonus: I love wandering around looking at all the gadgets and gifts. I always find something I didn't know I needed! read more

When I moved here 25 years ago, I was so happy to have a local hardware store to go to instead of a big box store. I would always recommend this hardware store. Well, the last 5 years I no longer recommend this hardware store to anyone. They are rude! It doesn't matter if you walk in with a smile or not. I even had one walk with me to show me what I needed and he didn't even turn to look at me, he just pointed to it and kept on walking, didn't ask is this what you need, nothing. Another time I needed some special screw and fortunately I did get help but was told if I needed more of these types of screws pick someone else to help me! At first I thought okay I obviously came on a bad day for him but seriously it seems that everyday is a bad day for these employees at this location. Several neighbors now all agree this place has lost its charm. read more

Great service by seasoned professionals who seem to know everything about home improvement

I love the convenience and friendliness of having a local Denault's Ace Hardware store in Laguna Niguel. Their staff can be counted on to be helpful in finding just what you need for a home project. I like that they carry potting and garden soil and wild bird food, as well as house cleaning products. Their home goods department is so inviting to shop for a quick present for a friend or a little gift to enhance your own home! We hope that you never leave us, Denault's!!! read more

Scott was very helpful this morning. I needed a battery replaced in my key fob and he took care of it for me. I always come here for great gifts and any household need. read more

Convenient, helpful, knowledgeable, easy returns (if necessary). This is a great place for the DIY person who needs only a few things over the year. read more

I was going to give this store a 5 after the excellent service by Douglas. We were looking for an assortment of things and he was full of knowledge and good ideas for all of the different items. Douglas was also very personable, funny, and positive. However when I was about to check out I saw some essential oils on sale. I heard someone on the other side of the row so I went to ask a question and she was clearly bothered by me or something... she was rude, had an ugly demeanor and expression. I turned and said aloud - she is the opposite of Douglas! So due to the mismanaged customer service I have to give this store a 3 - if it wasn't for Douglas it would be a 2! read more

Home improvement stores, I usually dread going. BUT not to this one. It's small, manageable, clean, well stocked, good selection, and there are competent people to help you find things. They also have a lot of very useful items that regular hardware stores don't have. Unique things for your house/garden, even fun things to give as gifts. Parking is ample and it is not crowded. Definatly check it out. read more

I know nothing about plumbing and they walked me through replacing a pipe under my kitchen sink. A simple $13 fix that could have cost a lot more. Thank you so much! read more

The male worker with the Orange hair was very rude and unhelpful. He was bothered with a simple question and exhibited a complete lack of customer service. Very disappointing. We were in the area and dropped in out of convenience. We will definitely avoid this location and stick with the excellent customer service at Coast Hardware at home in Laguna Beach. read more

I've been shopping here since 1980. Knowledgeable employees are usually nearby to help you and they carry LOTS of things that the big box stores don't carry. Also, you can buy just the two screws you need, not be forced to buy a box of 20. Sometimes their prices are slightly more, but sometimes less. Most important: support them so they'll be there when you need them! Jim Boehm, Dana Point read more

Real CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! It still does exist! Went in and was assisted by Doug. He went way above and beyond to set me up with what I needed. Kudos's to Doug and the management of this store. This is not the first time I've been assisted with excellent customer service by the personnel in this store. You just don't get this level of service in the big box stores. read more

I stopped by here to get a replacement battery installed for my car key. Mike helped me and installed battery for me. There are many pieces inside the key to take apart with very small tools. He did it perfectly and made sure I checked key on my car before I paid for it. I also bought a battery operated portable fan. 02cool. This is best thing I bought lately. It's cordless and I set it anywhere, even my dashboard. It stays put. I'm getting my elderly Mom one and giving these fans for gifts. The fan takes two D batteries which I bought from Marisol. I will buy items I need from this store whenever I can. The cordless fan is so nice when my grandchildren are here, not having to step over cords. read more

Needed some assistance with a wall mount. Doug was very helpful and knowledgeable as were the rest of the employees I contacted (Patty) at the register and Mike (Manager). Doug, thank you very much for your assistance. You were awesome. Thanks for going above and beyond and helping me out with elongating the wall plate hole. read more

Forgot something at an earlier trip to home depot so I stopped in here even though it's typically more expensive and they just don't have the selection the bigger chain has. I had forgotten how much more I love this store. Not only is it super convenient with easy parking you don't have to kill for a space at, you get customer service and friendly, knowledgeable employees that go out of their way to help as opposed to walking the aisles in search of someone that's doing everything possible to avoid you. read more

Hate asking for help from these old guys! Prima donnas for sure! I ask them a question and it's like I have bothered them! One guy in particular just looks at me like I'm a complete idiot and couldn't be bothered to help me more than just a grunt! Screw this place! read more

I came here to pick up something small to fix on my car, and I am glad to have a hardware store with excellent service in my vicinity. I can honestly say I am very impressed with the service and helpfulness of this store. The employees were very knowledgeable and knew exactly what I was looking for. Reading the other reviews, I can see others have had the same type of experience as me. I will keep this place in mind next time I have other hardware needs. read more

Rude customer service is what you will encounter here. Broken lamps us what you will discover when you get home to install them. Went back to the store and the manager says you broke it you bought it, no refund or exchange. Unreasonable staff is what you will see if you try to exchange items here. Wait for ever is the feeling you get when they say they will be there in 5 minutes, more like 20 mins. Rusty nails are in store for you if you buy a box of them. read more

I am glad we have this store near by, they are very helpful in finding things; It is a nice store, and much easier than the home depot.

I have to say if you need a weird type of lightbulb or an odd size carriage bolt, this place will have it. I have always had the old guys in hardware be so nice and helpful. If they don't have an obscure part, they will usually provide a list of local places that might have it. Their prices are actually very good for other home products as well from spa maintenance, Christmas lights to home goods. I've returned things in the past with no hassle unlike some of the other reviews. read more

I was happily impressed by the custom service I got before I was vaccinated and could start shopping again on my own. Whenever I had domestic emergency, such as an ant invasion or mouse visitation in my kitchen, or ran out of cleaning supplies or toilet paper, I called and Scott would round up what I needed. I would pay by card over the telephone and Scott would have someone carry the items out to my car with an hour's notice or less. The store certainly earned my loyalty. read more

Liked the helpful customer service and nice assortment of things one might need. Had 3-4 people help me find 1 inch nylon strap by the foot (for belts), halogen light bulb, paraffin and beeswax (for bike chain). Did not have WD40 degreaser - sorry to say that may be a not too popular new WD40 product. Thankfully, the store was busy at 5:30 on a Tuesday, but had plenty of staff to make the shopping pretty quick and painless. read more

Why is yelp so big on "gender neutral" restrooms? Anyway, Home Depot is mostly full of half-whits whereas the man at DeNault's really knows what the hell he's doing. I was having a difficult time finding a Circuit breaker for my home, and all the people at Home Depot could do is shrug and say I don't know. All I did was put in a phone call to the guy at DeNault's and he knew exactly what I needed over the phone when I described it. I drove over there and sure enough, the breaker was perfect. read more

I would give this establishment 0 stars if it allowed me to. Rudest employees I have EVER dealt with. I have lived in Laguna Niguel my entire life, I'm 36 years old, and I would consider myself a very polite and considerate person especially to retail and restaurant service workers, today being no different. Every single worker (except for an employee named mike who was very helpful and pleasant and I give props to him as I can only assume working in that negative environment must be soul sucking. Anyways, I asked an employee what the red sticker on the paint price meant (thinking they may be on sale) he stared at me upset that he had to walk over for such a "stupid question" and the said to me "so basically you're just nosy" (um what?)... I replied "oh, no I thought maybe it was a sale, thank you so Much!) he told said "it means there more in the back" and straight up just walked away. Not one employee had a smile on their face, and everyone of them seem inconvenienced by the customers. I would never recommend this place to anyone, go to Home Depot it's cheaper and better service. read more

The older employees in this store wear their masks around their necks. This endangers other employees and is a risk to their customers. When asked to move the mask up, they are snotty. Wearing a mask is not a violation of your civil right, it is respect for others - mostly your elders who are at risk if they get the virus. read more

Went into this store on my way from a project in Aliso Viejo,bought a few items ,one didn't work ( not the right size).Went back a couple of days later to purchase some other items.I tried to return one plumbing item didn't have a receipt,was told it wasn't purchased at the store,cashier scanned and yes it was theirs !There was a very moody man with orange hair and a goatee that said it was policy to have a receipt.Okay came back with receipt in hand to be verbally attacked and embarrassed by this same little old guy,saying I was trying to pull a fast one!! Wow for $18 unreal.Ended up after a lot of yelling from this insignificant little man,getting a store credit,my wife that planned on shopping for some last minute Christmas items was so disgusted with the behavior decided to spent the $18 and never return to this hardware store EVER AGAIN ,To make this all worse he wasn't masked up either!! Sorry I can't share the photo I took from him ,he claimed his name is Scott! Timothy S Laguna Beach read more
