Aside from slightly less a selection from Home Depot, this is the place I'd prefer to go with all…read moremy hardware needs. Like previously mentioned, obviously Home Depot with it's spaciousness, carries a lot more, but this place bests HD in just about every other category. I've never actually left here without finding what I was looking for. And unlike HD, the employees here are friendly and are knowledgeable. The staff has always been pleasant, from when I used to come here as a kid with my father, or now whenever I come in there 20+ years later. It's almost a throwback to the way things used to be (and should still be) about them being happy to have your business. The store renovated itself quite nicely during the last maybe 10 years. I'm just grateful this place remains standing when so many have faltered to the bigger chains. A true treasure to the area.

But OH... how we miss this hardware and the older owner's knowledge and wonderful help! I LOVE family owned older hardware stores . I love quality tools and secretly wished I had the training and experience to be able to use everything in renovation/ construction. Here, the owner has spent years learning what his community needs and he offers wonderful variety and choice in many hardware product areas. He is especially attentive hardworking gracious and accommodating -- service is outstanding. AND if he doesn't have it, he offers to try to find it! I really avoid Home Depot..... Lowes is not as bad, but these old fashioned neighborhood hardware stores may not be the least expensive alternative , but the friendship relationship hands on practical advice and wonderful help create an always pleasant experience. And, GREATLY add to a comfortable bond to one's neighborhood.

I went to Reader's and the gentleman with the black and grey wavy hair went the extra mile in first finding the right piece of pipe for the repair, and then cutting the piece to match the one I was replacing. This saved me from having to do it myself, which may have met mixed results. That's terrific customer service. I'll be back.

Today I dropped my car keyfob on the street and it stopped working. I thought I'd be spending the day waiting for AAA, but I went to Hastings Paint and Hardware and asked if they could help, and the man at the front desk took it apart, put it back together correctly, and didn't charge me a cent.
