I moved 2 blocks away in 2009 and Handyman Hardware has been a life saver to us as we have rebuilt our old neighborhood house. Over the years Deana and Mr. Willy have answered questions and helped us get very necessary items from paint to plumbing and have ordered things that were hard to find. They have saved my bacon a million times and although ists not as often these days, I still love going there. One of the first things we bought in the 1st summer we were here was some vegetable seedlings and some flowers, they fed us that season and we gave away squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers to our new neighbors, the melons we just ate as fast as they ripened. People still remember that yard garden harvest, it was beautiful. I still fly over there to grab screws, a studa -vent and "Sharkbites" at the last minute of a project. My son and husband and I always feel welcomed and glad to have this business so near our home. I can trust they will come back with the right thing if they go there ( even if they have to stop off for chicken and a biscuit and sweetea and the next door Bo's before they make it home) Getting keys including electronic car keys made there has been the best when we've lost ours, there's nothing like people who will listen and help and give great honest advice when you need it the most. Seeing the effort this family and their employees make in this very real and diverse community is stunning, it makes you feel hopeful. Knowing that the business continues with the heart of these lovely folks who work so hard to present a store full of the everyday needs and the extras including some things that a kid might just love ( a sled for our rare Raleigh snow!) is to see a snapshot of this country. The information that gets shared there is priceless and we really admire them for being employers of wonderful and intelligent workers who join to make this store worth going to. Here's wishing them the best and success as the area grows rebuilds and evolves, I hope the next generation of residents find the same center that we have enjoyed and come to rely on... Gracias para siempre familia, Thank you forever family! read more
