Adj: Knowledgeable. This is a locally operated Ace Hardware store, I believe it is a franchise. The owners are helpful if you have questions about a home improvement or repair issues and don't know how to go about trying a solution to the problem, or how to use a tool, or even what something you're looking for is because you've never heard of it, let alone seen one, LOL. I haven't come in for those yet, but sometimes I'd find an answer on Google, but the real-life application and execution of that fix to the problem doesn't work out very well, and I'm stuck. This is where Greenhaven Hardware as a smaller, mom-and-pop outfit would come in. At a big box store it might be hard to flag down someone to ask a question at all. But here at Greenhaven Hardware, there's always someone asking if you need help. We came in once to get some plants and had some questions and they gave us some good advice and our plants are thriving now. They also seasonally have vegetable seedlings for sale if your thumb isn't the greenest (that would be me!) and don't want to attempt to grow from seeds yourself. Sometimes they would also clearance out seasonal items because their store has limited space compared to a big-box, so you can also find some bargains if your timing just happens to find you catching some good deals. I don't count on that at Ace, but it's nice to support local even if their prices are slightly higher (sometimes quite a bit higher) because we can get excellent customer service w/sage advice for tricky home repair situations. Overall, I'm thankful we have a locally owned and operated hardware store still in our neighborhood and it's a great thing to have when experience and knowledge is what you're looking for to tackle more complex home maintenance or repair scenarios. Thank you Greenhaven Hardware! read more

Greenhaven Hardware - Nice big store, always clean and organized. - Hardware Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been to this hardware store dozens of times over the years. It's packed with a variety of products and has a great knowledgeable staff. They have an assortment of nuts, bolts, paint, tools, electrical parts, gardening supplies and more. The list goes on and on. The staff is eager to help me find something when I can't, and willing to give me free advice when I need it. They offer the kind of service you can't get at most big-box hardware store. It's conveniently located in a strip mall, where there's plenty of parking. It's always on my list when it's time for a trip to the hardware store. read more

I was in this store 9-8 -2026 arond 10am. A young guy waited on me and did a horrible job. This guy needs some polishing to work retail. I asked questions and got smart alic answers. I don't mind paying a little more to support a neighrhood store but this kid will make me think twice before I return. read more

Great place to go for any basic hardware needs. The staff is extremely friendly and all the product is reasonably priced. I'd recommend any locals in the pocket or land park area to give this place a try. It's super convenient read more

A thank you to Greenhaven Hardware - a nice neighborhood hardware store like the days of old. A neighbor referred us there. Unlike the "big box" home improvement stores, they have personable and helpful staff that will help you find exactly what you are looking for - saving you time in returning items you chose by accident. No getting lost in a big, huge store. And their prices appear to be competitive with the large corporates. This is also more convenient for us to travel to then a Home Depot or Lowes on the other side of river. Salute! read more

Lovely place, helpful employees. I enjoy shopping here to get the basics of what I need.

I like stopping at this hardware store to see what useful knick-knacks are in the sale racks in the front. This is an old fashioned kind of hardware store where the clerks are actually easy to find and are helpful. (One tends to forget such places exist if you go to HomeDepot too many times) The staff is helpful and friendly. They answer my questions and don't try to sell me other unrelated items. They are dog-friendly! I've found good deals on a variety of items for kitchen , garage, and for camping ( good tarp prices). This is the sort of place that you get all of those shopping list items that you've been wanting. read more

If you need to ask a question about something that needs fixing come here they have always pointed me in the right direction to get the job done. Also parking is so easy here. read more

I just popped in to get a duplicate key made. I was helped right away. In & out of the store in 5 minutes.

I love this hardware store!!! All the staff are very helpful!!! It is my go to hardware store. Their prices are competitive with bigger hardware stores. I prefer shopping here, locally owned. read more

Back in the day when I was younger, I always enjoyed shopping for clothes. But now that I'm older (much older), I have expanded my shopping enjoyment more to hardware stores. LOL! I noticed this "Greenhaven Ace Hardware" in a strip mall where we were visiting another shop along the way. It's small but formidable. They were fully stocked from top to bottom with all the major items and products that one would want for home and yard. From electrical, plumbing, equipment, tools, cleaning products, paint, and of course, hardware supplies of all shapes and sizes. For me, it can get tiring and monotonous shopping at the same big box stores that we are often forced to patronize, which can keep lacking in inventory or customer service.  This store was a breath of fresh air!  Clean, organized, and well stocked, with very helpful staff members!  I had a nice time strolling down the aisles, checking prices and making mental notes. We found some things we needed, allowing us not to have to go elsewhere out of our way! This is a very nice neighborhood "Ace" store located in the Greenhaven area! read more

Needed 2 ft of 12 and 14 awg wire but the guy was too lazy to cut it from the spools and tried to sell me a 25 ft spool of wire. He wouldn't sell me the spool wire. Was using the wire for pigtails for two outlets and didn't need 25 ft. So, no more using the local hardware store. The big box store is cheaper and oddly, customer service is better too. Glad this happened before I went to buy a new Weber. read more

The service is friendly with knowledge staff. I know I'm getting the right tool when I come here.

Every time I have come in here, staff have been friendly and helpful. They are more pricey than your typical big box store, however, sometimes the convenience is worth it. read more

This place is an absolute gem in January 2025. After recently going to a cafe to order tea, and a robot was taking my order, could not answer any of my questions and made life super confusing. It makes me appreciate your local Ace hardware in Greehaven Pocket Sacramento. The staff here are always great, you got a great mix of older experiences guys working with newer eager young people with great customer service skills. This place has everything you need for small simple projects. I have been going here for years and you just can say nothing pad about the customer service in this place. read more

Unfortunately for me my second home is practically a hardware or auto parts store of one type or another, I'm 50 plus in was practically born in a repair or machine shop. Heavy Equipment, Pwr Plants, to motorcycles, boats snowmobiles u name it. I've lived in this area since 05 and also unfortunately had to dip into the local Ace hardware once in a while. I personally have never ever seen one employee at this locale' smile to one customer, they all seem to always act Ur bothering them and cannot really wait to get out of there as they just hate every customer and their job. I understand they have no expertise but least pretend to be nice. I gave this store way too many chances, I will drive to West Sacramento Supply hardware 20 minutes further or Hollywood Ace or big box stores -- they are worse than terrible in every way and form, maybe it's just me. read more

There are so many good things to say about this local Ace Hardware. I had been looking for a reel lawn mower, which, according to the store clerk, rarely gets shipped to their store. Fortunately, however, they had recently received a small push mower, which was quickly retrieved from the stock room in the back. I was delighted to discover that Ace hardware was having their spring lawn mower and gardening sale. That said ,I purchased the reel mower which was diligently assembled and carried out to my car free of charge. The superior level of customer service at this charming hardware store is what keeps me coming back. The clerks have always greeted me with a smiling "welcome in" and they're always willing and interested to listen as guests describe the hardware and tools they need for their next project or repair. read more

Tucked into a strip mall in the Pocket is a great little Ace Hardware store. I have stopped here a few times in the past year just to pick up my favorite brand of spa chemicals (another COVID make-do :-), I swore I would never handle the pressure of maintaining my own spa again after moving to Sacramento...but, when gyms closed in March you gotta do what you least want to. This hardware store has always been in stock for what I need, and they have a good selection of all hardware stuff- I've perused the garden section, cleaning, tools/ hardware and it's amazing how much they have in a compact footprint. Definitely a neighborhood staple that it seems locals have relied on for years and it's got a "Cheers" vibe- they know their longterm customers and greet them by name. The only issues have been check-out because there always seems to be a slightly nutty person asking for help, complaining, or getting riled up (in fact, I heard a customer screaming about them being out of something- not cool lady, especially since we are in a global pandemic). That being said, the check-out is a bit confusing because I never know which of the 2-3 checkout lines are operational. The owner/s always seem to be present which is cool. The baffling checkout line is why I took off one star, but maybe as I become more local I will understand better! read more

great service! Susie helped me make copies of my keys. She was very kind and patient and fast. I had a weird sized key and she was able to make copies still, even though a lot of other places couldn't. And they were well priced keys! I will be returning, thank you greenhaven ace! read more

I never shopped at hardware stores until I started my own garden. I am still fairly new to gardening so I don't know everything. The staff here are knowledgeable about some topics. Some of their items can be a little more expensive than other places but for a small store there are a lot of good items to choose from. read more

Great local business. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. I plan to become a regular customer

I saw an AD for Ace Hardware and it brought memories from when I was a kid working in one of these. Lol. This particular location is on my way home from work so I decided to venture in. This hardware store is smaller than most I've been to. It looks like they've managed to fit every department in here, though. They have paint, plumbing, electrical, lawn and garden, tools, housewares, etc. Sounds like they have great weekly sales. The people working here are great, too. I was greeted immediately as I stepped in. We also had a brief chat while checking out. Very personable. It makes me feel at home. Lol. Since the store is so small you won't be able to find aisles of closet organizers or huge aisles of lawn furniture. However, if you're handy and needing plumbing repairs or electrical...this place has it! They have the basics and more. Pest control to yard work stuff to mixing paint for your home. Every neighborhood needs a hardware store!!! read more

I was in looking for a certain tool that I know exists, actually multiple variations of said tool exist. I talked to the owner, Dennis on two separate occasions and he told me that no such tool ever existed and that I must be incorrect and actually not even be looking for the correct brand of item I was looking for. Everything he said was wrong but he was so confident in himself that I wasn't going to waste my time trying to break through that brick wall. Anyway, his assuredness in his wrong answer and bad advice has made him and his store an unreliable source. Bummer because I like supporting local families read more

Elevated prices (two price compares to Amazon on step ladder and kitchen utensils) I could live with for convenience but poor customer service on top of that?! Stood in line at the cash register for service while two men stepped in front and were handled first by the two men behind the counter. One man even had the audacity to turn around after he stepped in front of me and as, mask completely off, "are you in line?" Consider putting your dollar down someplace else. read more

I have been to about a dozen different hardware stores in Sacramento and this is my favorite by far. The best thing about this place is the people who work here. It feels like a small family owned business. They are extremely helpful. They will walk around with you and take as much time as necessary to find everything you need for your project. They also provide great advice. One employee gave me an idea for a project of mine, which resulted in that project turning out much better than it would have otherwise. Their selection of nuts, bolts, nails, etc., (aisle 2) is excellent and I find what I need every time. If I need something they do not carry, like lumber, I'll go to Home Depot. Pretty much everything else I come here because Home Depot cannot match the level of personalized service you get here. At Home Depot, you might wander around for several minutes to find someone for help. But at this place, they always check if I need help before I even ask. Even when they're very busy, someone will always manage to make their way over to see if you need help. read more

Great people. Very knowledgeable. It's nice to keep your business local. Lots of different merchandise.

Needed some PVC fitting today and went to my local Greenhaven Hardware store. It cost me over $30 for about $10 or less in fittings. I really felt taken advantage of. I checked prices of the same items at Home Depot and verified that Ace is gouging on its PVC prices. What really angers me is, the guys at the counter take you money with a straight face. Next time I need PVC parts I will go to Home Depot. I have been a loyal customer for 35 years now, but enough is enough. I would have saved $20 my going to Home Depot. read more

Garry really came through for us today. I have been looking for two days for a cable that would fit the attachments in my truck bed. After trying several stores I called them last night at 6:55 to ask if they could do it, they took my call 5 mins before closing and said to come on down and they would do their best to help me. I came down tomorrow, they couldn't have been any nicer Garry took such great care of me and custom-made a cable with loops as per my instructions he even helped me test it in the car so we know it was a perfect fit. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. A big Thank you to Garry for taking such good care of us and providing me with peace of mind on our travels. You are truly the best. Thank you to Janet for the pleasent conversation as we waited. read more

If you need a key fob made, they have new ones to cut for you. Their price is about 1/3 of what key shops want. And they can program it to your car. If you need anything else, they probably have it. It's the most well stocked hardware store that I have ever seen in my life. read more

I have been coming here since I was a little girl with my Grandpa. I don't go to Home Depot or any other hardware store, this place is my go to every time. The type of service you get here is phenomenal. They are always friendly and extremely helpful. Anytime I come here they go above and beyond in customer service and assisting me. They will come out to your car or have you bring in the item to better help assist you. If I could rate it ten stars I would. Thank you Greenhaven Ace hardware for not only being so friendly and helpful but for always exceeding my expectations! read more

This store feels like a mom and pop shop from back in the day. Honestly, I don't even know why they waste their time with the "Ace" part of the name because it certainly doesn't feel like any sort of chain store. I've always gotten great, helpful service. No one hovers while you're looking around, but you always feel like if you had a question, they'd immediately help you. My family swears by this place and they come here first before heading over to Home Depot. Good selection of products without being over- or underwhelming and the service rocks. read more

It's a nice local independent business and the service is great. They have a little bit of everything and are very helpful. The prices seem competitive. They have good sales too. read more

If you need to pay $10 for what ought to cost $4 and deal with grumpy cashiers this is the greatest hardware store ever. I can get the same apathy at Home Depot but actually spend the $4 instead of $10. Worst hardware store I have ever set foot inside & I won't be back ever again regardless of the fact that it's two blocks from my home. read more

Amazing neighborhood hardware store! I have never cringed at their prices and they have good sales and coupons. The staff, in addition to being incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, is filled with silver foxes and cute younger guys. I've purchased a Weber grill, light bulbs, assorted nuts and screws, and random other household stuff there. Ace Hardware Greenhaven is so much nicer to shop at than the nasty orange warehouse. read more

Tough to rate this business any higher than a 'one' when they can't even cut the correct type of key for a standard front door lock, but luckily, they apologized for messing up and cut a new key free of charge. If you allow me to choose the key and I tell you what it's for, it's not my job to determine whether or not it's the appropriate key for the lock. So yeah, there's your other star. Cheers. read more

I love having a neighborhood hardware store. It was sad when Robbie Water's store closed in the area. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Have good sales and seem to usually have the ad items in stock. read more

Ace is the place with the helpful old guy who knows everything there is to know about rakes. I've gone through two rakes in the past couple of years. Cheaply made Home Depot crap. I was in the Greenhaven area and decided to check out a small Ace Hardware store in the cool Greenhaven shopping center. Yep. There was an old guy with a red Ace Hardware shirt ready to help me. "May I help you?" He knew a lot about rakes! I bought the metal rake that the old guy recommended. I'm sure he knows nuts and bolts and everything else that has to do with sprucing up the home. 5 nuts and bolts for Greenhaven Ace Hardware. read more

I was doing some house and tool maintenance when I made a list of some parts I needed. The guys at ACE (very helpful) were great to deal with, and they had the stuff to complete the repairs, at a fair price to boot! Thank you for reading my post. read more
