Big fan of small business in the community. I look at Ace or local hardware biz before any big box store, no mater where I'm at in the country. I recently was docked in Long Beach and needed a few supplies. Stopped by Ace in the morning, the girls up front snd the stuff were so helpful and pleasant. I bought a fan abs cordless vacuum (dirt devil). I took the vacuum back to the boat and tried to use it to vacuum the edges inside the boat. It just just did not have any sucking power what so ever. So I tried to suck up some loose flour to see what the issue was. It had a hard time sucking up that loose on the counter top. I emptied it out and packaged it back up to return the defective product or maybe this product just does not do what is advertised. Either way, I brought it back to return. The girls up front remembered me a d my great spirits. They returned it without question. I asked about some wood moisturizing products they had in stock. One of the associates was knowledgeable of these types of products and suggested a good option. As I started to leave the manager of the store approached me and said that they never should have returned the vacuum after using it. Now I have to throw it away and loose money on the dealI explained nicely that the product was defective and did not do what it was supposed too. I said I tried to vacuum sever different things and it just would not pick up. I even tried to vacuum my leather seat in my Jeep and it would not pick up the loose sand on the surface. I apologized and said I did not realize that all sales are final and no returns were allowed. He looked at me and in a rude manner, asked me if I've ever head of a car wash. They have vacuum that you use in your car. The manager was very rude to me throughout the entire time he approached me. I remained in good spirits and apologized a few times, but he continued to come at me with rude remarks. I walked out scratching my head. He followed me out and said something else as I was getting into my Jeep. I didn't hear what he said, but the look on his face was not pleasant. The staff is amazing at this store! The manager, tall gentleman with light hair has some personal issues to de with and should not bring it to his business. I wish him the best of luck, but I won't shop here ever again due to my experience with the owner/ manager. Be kind to others and enjoy your day everyone! Over & out! read more

Best Place Ever! Stephany is one of many super nice and helpful honest people who work at this great location. They will help you and if they don't know something they get someone who does. She went above and beyond to help me and every time I've come here is always super nice, patient and kind. This location is consistent with how you will be taken care of. When I'm in town this is my go to place. Thank you for helping this old Veteran. read more

Did not honor the sales price. False advertising! An example of why shopping local is often a disadvantage. I'll use my money elsewhere. read more

My daughter's scooter needed some materials for fixing. We walked in the sweetest girl Reagan helped us out & even installed it for us. All the other staff was friendly and helpful as well read more

This appears to be a busy sure, so they must be fine something right. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience here. I checked on line and saw the item is need was in stock at this location. So I drove 20 minutes across town to get it. When I arrived at the store, the clerk told me they didn't have it and, get this, the reason he gave me was the supply chain is all screwed up because of.... wait for it... COVID. So I'm supposed to be stupid enough to believe the Ace Hardware inventory database is off because of COVID. I could deal with the item being out of stock, but not with being told a blatant lie. Get lost. read more

This place is pricier than home depot but they have certain item you can't find there like a front facing handle for the toilet lol. Random but they had it. Always good customer service too read more

Ace has saved the day! After our disaster with renting a carpet cleaner from Home Depot (last review) , Ace saved the day. Just finished cleaning our carpets, and they look brand new. They have the Bissell the big green machine! This machine easy to use and it just makes sense, not like the rug doctor. We will rent from here again. Carpets clean, check! read more

I frequent this one & even though if you Google Ace Hardware, it says ALL....NOT SOME..give veterans a 10% discount, they do not honor veterans which is very disappointing. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this little hardware store nestled right downtown easy to get too full of anything you want to buy. Great prices. But the best thing about it is the CUSTOMER SERVICE. A big shout out to STEPHANIE one of the managers and to all the managers and the staff that work there. My husband is disabled so he's either goes with his walker or his mobility scooter and they are always so kind and helpful. If we call to see if they have something or if they can order it for us again always so kind and helpful never annoyed. I will never go to the big hardware stores again. Thank you ACE Thank you for working during this pandemic stay safe. The read more

Wonderful local store. Have all the basics, things are reasonably priced and the people there are super friendly, Parking is a bit dicey sometimes worth walking or parking on street. read more

I called to ask for a part for my shower. They transferred me to the plumbing department and I told them what I needed. The rep said, "yeah sure, we can help you. Come on down." When I arrived, they didn't have any parts for Kohler showers handles. So, why would they say, "Come on down." I understand that they don't know the exact part I need, but when you don't have any parts for Kohler, do tell me to come down. That was a waste of 30 minutes... read more

Just got some extra keys made for the kids, home, and my car. Jason was friendly, and helpful. He checked to make sure the car keys worked (had my car with me). Four keys made; one did not work right. He just cut a new one and set me on my way. The house keys have worked in the past, so I don't anticipate any problems but if one doesn't work, I can bring it back and they will replace it. Thank you Jason! I like this store because it is a small little neighborhood store and I've found everything I need. The employees are friendly and helpful. If they don't carry something they make recommendations and tell me where I can find it, even if it's the competition. I like that they speak truth and genuinely like what they do. Good people. Good place. Highly recommend for many common items. read more

I priviously had a few good experiences here but now that's changed Today when we stopped in to get supplies while my car was being serviced and we walked here from blocks and blocks away, my boyfriend had to use the bathroom, one employee gave him directions and then two chased after him yelling That he couldn't use it. Cool, then I can't shop here and I won't in the future either. read more

They have everything, just like the great neighborhood hardware stores of yesteryears! We'll stocked, great staff, super helpful. Love this place!!! read more

Forget going to any of the Big Box hardware stores when it comes to personalized service. This is a small detail and purchase, but the story is true. I had a real problem, my deadbolt lock on a metal sliding gate failed. Due to the hole size and where the lock was placed, replacement was going to be a big deal. Desperate for a solution i removed the deadbolt and brought it to Dennis/ genius behind the key counter at the Long Beach store. 30 minutes later he rebuilt my old lock and i was out the door. This is the type of service most retail stores should be doing to combat the big stores from taking their customers. sheet of plywood, don't go to Ace, all other items Ace is the Place! read more

I was looking online for shelving and I found prices for what I needed from $40-$80. It's basic shelving. I always have a wonderful experience at my local ACE so I went in. DIY! There is ALWAYS more than one person walking around asking if I need help and at the register, the clerk asked me about my project, made sure I had all the right hardware and even encouraged me when I told her I had never done something like this before. Finished product is exactly what I wanted and under $30. I'm proud of myself! read more

Tyler is the only man that didn't disappoint me this week. After my house sitter left and took my keys with him to Colorado, I found a spare key that didn't work in the locks. Tyler was able to find the issue and FIX my key. He probably doesn't realize how close I came to crying that something finally went right this week. Thank you a million times, Tyler!! read more

People who are working in this location are the best. They are helpful and nice and patient. They're doing a great job

The employees are very helpful, and able to show me everything I needed, for my home project!

I've been meaning to write for a long time. Im sorry it took this long. The staff at this store have been uncommonly helpful since I even first moved to Long Beach. I had a business card for the store owner who helped me, but I misplaced it. I walk by here almost every day and thank you for being a friendly neighborhood place during Covid when it's harder to find that. Your team of workers are extremely appreciated, I hope by everybody. read more

Key selection is HUGE. So many cute designs. I want them all. Service is great and staff is very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend! read more

Service was exceptional as noted in other reviews. I had the pleasure of meeting one the actual owners of this store, Tommy. There are other shops and stores where the owners stay away or hide behind closed doors. This was definitely not the case with this shop. The assistance was greatly appreciated. Tommy told me of how he and his dad both owned this shop and also another Ace over on Anaheim. I have to commend his adorable dog, Louie who was quite the aisle entertainment. I got exactly what I came in for to complete the task I needed to do. read more

Needed some heavy duty hair & grease remover QUICK - Bathtub water wasn't draining. I was in&out w/the quickness. Ran into 5-6 employees in the short time I was inside and they all greeted me and asked me if I needed help finding anything. These guys are on point and super friendly & helpful. I'll be back FaSho! read more

Visiting a friend and she had a leak under her sink and we all know how expensive a plumber can cost. With that in mind, we did a quick drive to the hardware store with some pictures from under the sink on her phone. They figured out the problem just by looking at the pictures and sold us the plastic pipe, which by the way just screws in, and we were off and out the door. So the update. Yes, we fixed it and it has been going strong, no leaks for 3 days. I have always liked the Ace Hardware stores. They are so good about having lots of knowledgeable staff out walking around and ready to help. Thank you Long Beach Ace for saving my friend a bunch of money and helping us both learn some plumbing skills. read more

Very helpful. Manager Micheal took time to answer my bumbling questions about brushes, paint color matching, Command strips, spackle and more without losing his patience or friendly demeanor. Will be back again. read more

You've probably noticed the pattern of high reviews here. That's because the employees of Ace Hardware are so consistent in their delivery of amazing service. Today, for me, it was Manager Rory, but I've been treated the same way by everyone I've interacted with there. When you first step nto the store, an employee will usually offer to help, but they do it low-key. They're gracious whether you say yes or no. You might as well accept their help, however, the employees always know exactly what you need and where to find it. Ace has a great culture of competence and helpfulness. That's just who they are. read more

The employees in this store are always so happy and extremely helpful. Every single one of them that I walk by asks me if I've been assisted. They are courteous and professional in person and over the phone. More than happy to support this location. read more

I try to come here (which I can walk to) first, instead of the big box DIY stores. I always have a good experience plus it's fun just to walk up and down the isles because it's just full of interesting odds and ends. However... the last time I came, I was promptly greeted by a cashier as I entered, which was really nice. She asked if she could help and I said yes, can you tell me where such and such is? She was obviously not familiar with the product I was asking for, so instead of saying something like "I can get someone to help you", she gives me the stink eye. So rude! Luckily, there was another employee stocking shelves nearby and heard me, and pointed me to the right direction. So minus a star for the bad mojo, but still four stars because I do like this store. read more
