Brandon came to the house and did the templates for the kitchen and bathroom countertops. He also returned 2 weeks later with the install crew (Steve and Kenny I think).

Recently, I had the need to frequently visit H H hardware in Clearfield, PA. My tenants destroyed…read moremy rental house and everything needed work: plumbing, wood floors, tile floors, laminate floors, trim work, door repairs, broken windows, painting..... you get the idea. The people working there were friendly and very helpful. Also, their prices were as good as, or better than Lowes, their main competitor in town. I like Lowes, it's kind of like a big you store for men; but, given the choice between the two I'd go to HH hardware first. They're selection is not as big as Lowes; but overall they are more helpful and deserving of my business.

What a mess. Their prices are pretty high, and it looks like they never ever throw anything away…read more Not much is any kind of recognizable order. The buildings are unheated So wear a jacket in the winter. Don't wear good shoes like I did, I wore brand new sneakers today and was walking through mud and stagnant water throughout the grounds. If you find something on a third floor, for example, you have to look around for employee who is going to give you a price right off the top of their head. They do haggle but it's almost as if they don't want to unload anything. Add that we chose something, I had to walk all over the place looking for the guy to pay. He just put the cash in his pocket. I guess maybe he's a manager I don't know. I'm not sure my pictures do it justice. Many of the items are broken or chipped. They do have a lot of restaurant type equipment, but as I said very little in the entire set up has any kind of pricing on it. So you could be on the fourth floor, find something, have to find someone to find a price for it, go to another floor all the way in the back find someone to give you a price, it's like that all over the place. They have several trucks to sort through and they just leave it there. A lot of old outdated hotel furniture too. One tiny room had a lot of books in it and I was thinking it be fun to pick up a couple, and that would be a great room for them to just put a price sticker on the wall. Hard covers this much paperbacks this much. Seriously it's a total mess.

Looking at the other reviews I think those people didn't get what this company does. They demolish…read morebuildings and salvage the material and contents then sell them for cheap. I've gotten anything from reclaimed wood to old records here. Any time someone I know needs furniture, I stop here first because the stuff they have is usually in really good shape and they let it go for pretty cheap. Yes it's not organized, but then how could you with the variety of stuff they have. It's a really cool place to find old stuff or supplies for a DIY project. They also demolish buildings in a safe and good priced way.

If I could give less than one star for this establishment I would. I am so shocked and mortified by…read morethe treatment I experienced at this store yesterday I will never set foot inside let alone spend one more cent there. After spending over $1000 last summer to put a new roof on my camp I had some extra unopened parts which we could not use. Decided to return for store credit (which was explained as having a one year expiration). Admitadly the 365 days on this credit was up by about 4 days. I went to Marienville Home Improvement to buy a few items and to inquire if there was anyway we could honor that credit. I was told that it being beyond one year it was void and they could do nothing to help and that money was gone now. Naturally after spending what I did last summer with these folks to have them disregard my money which I spent in their store and having returned an unopened product which they no doubt still sold made me upset so I told the shop owner they could expect me to take my business elsewhere. After having heard this the shop owner threatened to "knock me out" and if that wasn't enough his wife and sons got into the action pulling their pistol from under their counter showing it to me telling me that they would use their pistol on me. Actually had one of the sons tell me he had the right to "put a bullet in my head" for suggesting I spend my money elsewhere. Hopefully some of you can read this and save yourself the time, money and hassle of dealing with such unprofessional horrible people. Not only are their prices sky high and service awful the potential of physical threat and bodily harm will be enough to steer you to another hardware store. Proximity to my camp was the only reason I spent money in that place to begin with but will now gladly travel to Lucinda or Clarion for my supplies now.

Stay safe here. The owner wouldn't let me send a very sick employee home during the pandemic,…read moredemanded I come to work when on isolation after I and most of the staff got COVID, and when that employee died, he just sent a two word text: "He's dead." Then he fired me for it (I guess? These guys never write anything down, and I'd never been so happy to get fired.), and lied to unemployment about it. Oh, and my forklift training was "this is up and down, this is tilt, this is back and forwards," and just leaving the building when the next vendor came. And I went ahead and did it without complaint, lol.

I'd like to give them three, but on the day I went, many customers were unmasked.  The way in was…read morenot encouraging enough about masks.  The staff was tired of asking folks to protect themselves and others.  While the store supports Christian programming on TV, they don't go very far to support or require Christian behavior.  The unmasked folks clearly had multiple underlying conditions, and were the folks we're trying to protect most, which was an irony lost of them but not to me. Surplus City is like Ollies, but a little broader and more idiosyncratic, if that is possible. They reminded me a bit of Building 19, but not as wild as Spags.   Makers would find lots of hardware and materials to use.  Prices were low enough you might try something to see if it works as a craft, hobby, or repair. I'll be back post-pandemic to browse at more leisure. Paul R.'s picture is helpful. it shows the entry, which is the downhill building of the two. To Mary: Most of what you suggested is correct (stay distant, don't touch your face, I would add in particular, your mucous membranes). Nearly any people who have been told by medical staff not to obstruct their own breathing should not be out and about. See the CDC web site. I fear that you misunderstand the medical and healthcare advice out there. I find that I am better informed when I follow the CDC, WHO, and PA public health rather than other sources. "If you think wearing a mask is going to stop a nano-sized virus you are kidding yourself". Technically, you are true, most masks do not stop 100% of viruses. On the other hand, if you mean that masks will not stop this pandemic, I believe you are incorrect. The CDC, PA Dept of Health, all the professors at Penn State Hershey, and Penn State Biology, and all the MD, PhD, RN/PhD, and MD/PhD that I talk to believe that masks can stop this pandemic if enough people use them. For your sake, and for ours, so we can get back to work and play, wear a mask to protect yourself (they are not perfect, but help a lot) and help others in case you are asymptomatic. Also, the virus is not nano-sized, but micro-sized. Nano is down by the molecule level, the molecular weight of this virus is not high, but does appear to be caught in significant amounts by most masks as it is thousands of molecules (see: https://nanohydroponicscom.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/nano-size-range.jpg?w=882), and Dr. Google. The science and engineering of how masks work relies on college EM physics. google for details. I suspect the electro statics also catch nanoparticles, and Dr. Google concurs.
