When I asked the driver - Bill - if he ever saw their trucks damage a driveway, he said "rarely" and that we should not have a problem. Live and learn. They DID damage the driveway, and I had no recourse with them, or my insurance company. Dishonest at best, and very arrogant management staff. No consideration or even an apology. They covered themselves and that's all that mattered.

Emailed pictures to Stan Harrison last summer, who worked up a quote. Not cheap but these can't be found. Procrastinated until now, asked for a re-quote, and was told last year's quote was good. Fortunately, I drove over with one of the old railings to make sure. Glad I did. Walked in and Stan said, "I don't know what the hell that is." "It's a porch railing, Stan." He showed me the one brand they sell, completely inappropriate for this job. Meanwhile another customer, a contractor, was being told by another clerk, "I don't have a window like that", whatever that was, and the contractor was trying to choose a replacement. And a THIRD customer, also a contractor, was holding a broken piece of vinyl siding and apologizing by admitting it was "probably 8 to 10 years old" and hoping to match the brown color as best as possible. His clerk was looking at the siding like it was a prehistoric reptile. So! I'm thinking Ingram's motto is: if you want exactly what we sell, come to Ingram!

And it's very surprising because a Hardware that is 3 times the size of a regular hardware store SHOULD have the same equal amount of parts for you to find and get. But I figured it out why this store and ace hardware store franchise shines out over the newer stores because most of the parts they have will fit in homes that were built in the 1930's to the 1970's up to the 80's where Home Depot and Lowe's sell parts for the homes that were built around the late 70's and today's construction of 90's and early 2000's right into today. And also my sister was unsure about a faucet part over at Home Depot and the employee who waited on my sister couldn't get the answer let alone the part right and hesitated. So we left the store and my sister said he was interested in collecting a paycheck and not doing the work. So I told my sister about this Durst Ace Hardware store and she told them the part we needed and they instantly got everything done and squared away. So she never went back asking someone for assistance ever again.

I went back in to get my refund and the cashier had trouble figuring out how to process my refund and was not very pleasant. I will take my business elsewhere.
