I love neighborhood hardware stores that don't have a big box feel. I seem to get lost within the…read morebig box stores when I need to find something. Oftentimes I leave frustrated because at the chain stores I'm passed off or rushed. I leave feeling like I'm a burden because they're too busy having to take care of something else. The staff at Lemoi is the opposite of that. They're super friendly and I'm always greeted by someone at the front entrance. They're consistent with having ample staff ready to help if you need something or have questions. Last month I found an LED snowman face on their webpage and called their site to see if I could pick it up in store. Within a week, they had my snowman and I left with my purchase pleased with the service and quality of my product. They seem to have a lot of items in stock too. Months ago, I went on a separate trip with my dad looking for a missing part to repair his sump pump. He had visited Lowes, Menard's and Home Depot with no luck but happened to find what he needed here at an affordable price. Lemoi Ace Hardware has been in the area since 1895. The ability to stay in business for that long says a lot about the quality and service they put out. My recent experiences are testament to that and I hope they stay in business for generations to come.

Their sump pump parts and plumbing sections are great. They've rekeyed my locks before. Some of the sales assistants know more than others but at least one of them always has the answer.

A long time ago around 2025 this place nickel and dimed me…read more I ordered small cheap items like screws and stuff for a project at home. Thankfully I asked for a receipt. 1 day later, after working on the project some of the items I purchased were not the correct screws. It was then I noticed multiple and I mean almost several small extra charges of 1 cent to10 cents back to back on my receipt. These charges had no explanation. They were clearly malicious made up charges to make extra money off me. It was the son and dad thst overcharged me. I remember who was at the counter. I returned to Kims hardware to not only get the correct items but also to be refunded for the extra charges. I spoke to the son and father and I represented myself with great politeness, respect and professionalism towards them. They did NOT return the favor. I mean wow, they got really nasty towards me. Rude, very loud, and disrespectful. The son was the one who over charged me in the 1st place. The father was at first going to give me my refund but was a bit hesitant. Their was a slight language barrier but he was still really grumpy about it and then he got his son over instead of giving me the 2bucks and they both double teamed me for 5-7m straight. Tried making me feel stupid and using my age against me as many people think im 21yrs old. The son mentioned my education, why am I making a big deal over two bucks, no refunds allowed. Tried saying that I should've mentioned it when it happened and it's too late. That it was probably taxes or fair charges. When I started mentioning im a manager at a retail store, I know what chicago taxes are down to the exact number and I stated my age and my father being a tradesman, their confidence started to buckle. I also stated the law, the better business bureau, started to break down the receipt and what I actually bought and showed the same products on the shelves and what they cost and proved I was given hidden extra charges. After about the 6th minute of them quite literally belitting me, yelling at me and being mean and me holding it down and mentioning this is illegal the father threw the 2 bucks or so down at the table and started speaking in his native tongue to his son complaining. I told them multiple times to just do the right thing. Whats fair and just. Why argue and be mean. The son didnt care about any of that. I truly wish I wrote this review when it was fresh because I recall the son saying very specific mean things to me. They did all of this while customers were in the store and co workers were watching. As I prepared to walk out a worker that was listening apologized I had to go through that and said, "you're not the first person they did that to. Its happened multiple times. People getting overcharged, wanting to exchange or refund things. They try denying it and get all rude and mean". It's a shame really because my 1st day their was pretty chill. The asian dude with the long hair seemed nice to me when I first went there and helped me find my items even though they were the wrong items and he did not understand my issue when presented. The son who at the time had a shaved or bald head and the father are both nickle and dimers. Be wary. Check your receipt before leaving. Take your time and do the math. Someone should audit these guys. I'm pretty sure they are breaking a few laws and im pretty sure the IRS would love to take a look at them. If anyone doesnt like scammers, help report Kims Hardware to the necessary departments.

They also made sure the screen color remained the approved HOA color. My screen repair was reasonably priced.

I first went to Menards and then Home Depot and they all said the same thing - we have the screen materials and tool kit but we don't do that type of work. In fact, Menards specifically mentioned Skokie Ace. So I came in and we got what I would consider a fair estimate for 8 of my screens. Now - could I have done this job myself? Of course, and I say that without flinching. The question was, do I sacrifice a Saturday afternoon to replace all of these screens? No, because I could be Yelping. I decided to pay for this work to buy some time. You may disagree but my Cost vs. Benefits analysis led to drop off all of my screens. I opted for aluminum this time and they were all expertly replaced in a matter of days. Excellent customer service by Carlos of Skokie Ace. I received two messages informing me to pick up my screens. In the words of Ace Frehley - your customer service has Shocked Me!!!

I left really pleased with this place and had it on my mind for a second project. The second time I visited... oof. When I asked about an issue and showed photos about potential materials to buy, I was told to have someone come out and pay for it because I didn't "look or sound excited about my project. He was very crass and told me I wouldn't understand what he was "so easily" speaking to me. So there's that. If I know what I'm needing and have no doubts, I'll definitely come back here. If I have doubts, I'll be hesitant to ask based on who's working that day.
