Prices are crazy right now, Christmas trees no exception, but this specimen was true value for money, and Ed Wilkerson and his staff couldn't be friendlier, more helpful, or more expert.

The staff was very helpful. He found exactly what I needed. On top, he said if it doesn't fit, I am free to return it. Luckily everything worked out well. I was happy. The location was great and convenient. This is a neighborhood store. Most of the customers here are locals or living in the hood.

They do offer a wide variety of stuff you'd expect in a small hardware store. Their staff are…read morefriendly and helpful. Items they can't stock due to their size can be ordered online and shipped to the store. Yet I shop there as infrequently as possible. Why? Because they presume every customer is a potential shoplifter -- they require all bags to be checked at the entrance. Is this a huge inconvenience? No. But since merchants must now charge for shopping bags, I generally carry one with me, and no, I don't want to have to leave it behind while shopping. No other business in the area treats their clients with such derision. If I can buy elsewhere, I will.

NEW ADDRESS!! 2856 W Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6K 2G7…read more Bright, well laid out aisles, neatly stocked with various homewares and more than enough hardwares to do most home repairs and/or projects. But of course not for major renovations or decorating projects - for those you'd want to go to Home Depot, where I'd many times get bewildered and lost amongst all the variety and choice of items. Here, the staff is very friendly, helpful and indeed tries to understand what we laymen needs or wants to do, and show what all we need. I guess that since home hardwares are individually owned, that this is the big difference from the big box stores which caters to the trades and more professional carpenters, plumbers and electricians etc. Not particularly cheap but fair prices and welcoming for us amateur gardeners, home decorators and those forced to become their own handyman! By the way, this is their new location - I've gone to their west 4th location for years and was dismayed that I couldn't find it recently! Surprised that they're still showing the old address on Yelp!!

They even give my dog a treat when we walk by! It's a small shop, and cramped inside, but that is central to its charm in my opinion, they're not trying to be anything they're not, and I've always received great information in response to the myriad questions I usually have when the time calls for a trip to the hardware store. Solid folks, handy hardware shop.

My elderly mother phoned the store regarding a specific type of small heater. She was assured that…read morethere were many heaters in stock that would suit her needs. My mother has been trusting in Hewer Home Hardware for many years. Upon arriving at the store we spoke to 3 different employees about heaters, their knowledge was politely negligible. It was up to us to read all of the boxes and try to figure it out for ourselves, the conclusion was that there was nothing appropriate in stock. It is annoying enough to be misled, but when you are elderly, with mobility issues, and have trusted a business for 30+ years it is extremely dissapointing.

Can there be such a thing as service that is TOO good? At Blight's Home Hardware there is…read more The entire staff are trained to ask every customer if they can help them with anything. On my last visit I was asked no fewer than *eight* times if I needed any assistance. Once was appreciated (although I didn't need help), second was sweet, third was grating. And then I was just annoyed by the last five. Although I like the idea of a local helpful store, being fawned over as a customer is uncomfortable. I'm sad writing this review -- I do appreciate well-executed customer service but I can't handle the pre-programmed, robotic, and sickly sweet questioning at Blight's.

This place has a lot of tools for a decent price. Even spray paint is cheap. The last time I…read morepicked up a can it was only $5 vs. $15 elsewhere. They have tons of tools here. Some are cheaper than the big orange box store. Sometimes not but there is usually overall a good selection of tools for a very good price. Their boxes of nitrile work gloves tend to be cheaper here than most places. It's definitely worth coming to check it out if you're in the market for tools, work gear and paint. Service is also friendly and can direct you to where things are unlike the big red box store.

The only hardware store in Mt Pleasant, and maybe, just maybe, the best in the city.

This was actually the first hardware store where I encountered this as all the chains, even smaller ones, let you browse. They definitely take the pandemic seriously as on top of the no browsing, they have a very fancy system with a light signal telling you when you can come inside where staff will ask you what you want ring you up and then have someone bring your purchase out to your car. It's a pretty effixient efficient system. They also carry sand topping mix, which is sold out pretty much everywhere else in Vancouver. Prices are competitive, not cheap but not expensive. As an independent business, they have a convenient location in kitsilano that is a good alternative to big box stores. The parking lot is small, but does the job.
