He apparently shopped for building supplies here back in the stone age when he was working at Dupont after college. Unlike Lowes, we were greeted within ten seconds. The guy knew exactly what we wanted and knew where it was. Everyone here looked like they had worked here or in some related industry for at least twenty years and knew what they were talking about. It was a great experience and there is no doubt as to why this place has been open for at least forty years if not more.

So I had to approach him to tell him what I needed, which also required accessories but, instead of this guy being proactive and helpful, he acted irritated that he had to keep escorting me to aisles to get what I needed. Upon checkout, there was no "thank you" or "come again." This is the last time I will go to this Ace.

At first I was apprehensive but after calling the dealership I found out it was 230.00 for the same service. I would recommend the honest workers here anytime.Great job all around and I left feeling good. Even after finding out my car key cost 70.00.

Good gravy people! Some of you are acting like you want to NOT have anyone to EVER help you! If that is the case...GO TO LOWES! They will be happy to NOT give you any assistance, and they hire plenty of people who have no earthly idea how to do anything other than play on their phones. E&T Hardware is a gem! Elgin is lucky to have a great place where we can go get what we need quickly and have people there who know what they are talking about. And so, some of the prices, not all, but some are a little more than the big box stores. The way I look at it is, my time is worth more than saving a few bucks here or there. I value my time and will continue to give E&T first shot at just about everything I need and only go to Lowes or HD when either E&T does not have what I need or the price is such that I have no other choice.

They will sit there for hours and explain every step of the process to you. Leveling, pouring a foundation, framing, getting plumbing and electrical hooked up, etc. Jesus, I wouldn't be surprised if they come out to the jobsite for you and start barking at the contractors screwing it up. They do all this because they got the Ace Hardware heart. It might be a bit pricier here than Home Depot or, God forbid, Lowe's (DO NOT GO TO LOWE'S! they got worse than service than popeyes chicken), but the helpful hardware folks who work here are worth the extra penny. Sometimes I feel like pulling out a crisp 20 or benjamin and giving it to these guys because they are so awesome. I been to every section and talked to all the regular faces who work here. They NEVER let me down. AMERICA

Now if I need some legit help, like what tool would I use for blah, blah, blah, then I go to this place. They are very friendly, but for the most part not too friendly. They offer help, but don't seem too overbearing. They carry most things you need, except for lumber, and I don't think they have any plants. I recently had to get a new key for my 06 Mustang. They were great, came out to my car, and programmed it, and saved me a few bucks.
