New to town and clueless about hardware, I picked Master's Hardware because Google Maps listed it…read moreas the closest store to my house, and for the likelihood that it would be smaller and easier to navigate than Lowe's or Home Depot. Luckily, my guess was on the money. My visit to Master's Hardware was friendly, efficient, and informative. Unlike some hardware stores, where you're left to fend for yourself, Master's Hardware helps you pick up everything you need in a very non-salesy, unobtrusive way. For nails, wall anchors, lighting pull-chain extensions, and all your other little moving needs, Master's will do the trick. Not sure about bigger projects, so you might want to call ahead if you're planning serious renovations or, I don't know, demolition. If you're clueless like me, this is the place to go.

The friend mentioned Salik's and said, while it doesn't have everything, they have enough to make it worthwhile going there. Parking was easy - right in front of the store. Nice to see someone right behind a counter asking if they can help you. Try getting that at Home Depot or Lowe's. The price for the doorknob was right and the product worked out just fine. Went back for extra keys - a little more pricey than the aforementioned big box stores. But to save having to drive around the city for just one thing? Priceless! Go to Salik's if you're in the East End and want to support a local business instead of a big box.

The simple neighborliness of that interaction is what I value most - friendliness and competence joining together to solve problems! Way to go, Ace Hardware Oakmont! Highly recommended!

This review is more for the rental department and not for the whole store. I have picked up…read moredifferent items from Stanford Home Center for years. The customer service is usually pretty good. I think you pay more here for home improvement products than other stores but it's very convenient for me since we live within 10 minutes of the store. In the last 3 months I have rented a pressure washer, an edge sander, and a drum floor sander from their rental department. I booked these online and called to confirm my reservation. I think Stanford rents out their equipment a lot better than how Home Depot rents because it is a first come first serve situation at Home Depot. At Stanford I know that my rental will be available when I get to the store. Also the prices are a lot more reasonable than Home Depot. For each rental they were all in very good condition and I really didn't have any problems with any of them. What sets Stanford above other stores is their customer service I think. They took care of me, asked about my projects, and gave me suggestions. They remembered me from my last rental and I felt confident that if I had any problems that they would help me out. I rented the Floor drum sander for $55 for the day. I had to pay additional for sand paper but it's a lot less expensive doing this yourself than getting a contractor to do it for you. The pressure washer was very inexpensive as well for 4 hours. For the overall store I would give it a 3 so average but for their rental department it's a 5. I recommend Stanford rental to anybody. My wife has some more projects for me so I will be back soon. Thanks Stanford Home Center rental department!
