The employees we worked with were all friendly and helpful. The store is an Ace Hardware store with the famous popcorn machine. We have purchased paint, caulking and other painting supplies in the past and have found the paint specialists to be both helpful and knowledgable. It is nice to have a full service type lumber and hardware store in the eastern sierras. It is also nice to have a store who provides good customer service even with limited local competition.

Basic fittings are frequently out of stock, and the bins aren't well kept--parts get mixed together. The lumber yard has some knowledgeable employees and lots of overly expensive warped wood. Cost is often 50% more than home improvement stores out of area. It seems HCL has shifted from being a hardware store to focusing on money-making merchandise. The high schoolers working there can show you a Carhartt jacket but know nothing about the trades and don't seem interested in finding someone who can help.

Ok, the low review is for the ACE Hardware model as a whole…read more The staff were friendly, the location and store was nice and clean. They had a good selection as well. That's the good aside; now the bad: So, I was passing by and decided to pick up a few items, but I do not live in the area. When I got home, the part did not fit. I took it back to be returned with the receipt, however each and every ACE Hardware I went to denied my return because I am required to return it to the store where I purchased it. What decade are we living in? What kind of business model is this? I even called the corporate office and yes, this is the policy. NEVER BUYING FROM ACE HARDWARE EVER AGAIN. I'm sticking with Amazon or other hardware stores that do not have an antiquated business model.

So while i watched numerous YouTubes and got some condescending "help" from chain hardware employees in the area, my bathtub dribble grew into a stream. Not just wasteful but getting scary $$. I was desperate! So i tried Archie's to try to find the right kind of washer and tools. The guys on the floor sent me to Jill. She not only coached me and let me borrow tools, she CAME TO MY HOUSE and returned TWICE to swap out tools and the washers and fixed it herself. She knows her stuff and cheerfully gives it away! A 21st century miracle!!!! Please know that this is NOT a service you can demand at Archie's; Jill offers her skills at HER discretion - she told me that she likes to help out other women because she understands how tough it can be for gals in the DIY/home repair field. Nevertheless I am now on Team Jill and a loyal fan forever. And Archie's is pretty high on my list, too! Very community based, broad inventory and staffed at least one amazing woman who knows her stuff and is generous and compassionate to desperate dummies! Thank you!!

My husband and I were looking for some AstroTurf to lay out in front of our trailer. We found exactly what we wanted and for a pretty good price. A bonus, we saw Peter Stormare from the Prisonbreak series in there getting some keys made. Totally a random place to see him too. Will definitely come back here should we need to.
