I was so pleasantly surprised by their selection of products, especially since I was looking for random items for my new apartment. The employees were helpful, knowledgeable, and looked like they genuinely loved working there, which was such a joy to see. I've returned to this shop way too often, and my wallet hates me for it. This location relies heavily on paid street parking, though there is a small customer lot behind the shop. A trip to this Ace is very worth the $2 I paid for parking.

Walked inside and within 3 seconds was greeted by an employee asking how he could help. He guided me to the hardware section and found the exact 3 screws I needed and I was out with less than 5 minutes. Individual at the cashier desk was extremely nice as well. What I've put off for weeks was solved in less than 5 minutes all thanks to the individuals in there. 6/5 stars if I could. Keep it up team.

I actually haven't been in for a while since I don't live that way anymore, but I intend to get back there asap jjst so I can feel what it's like to be in a REAL hardware store again. They actually carry hardware, which the big box stores almost stopped carrying. Anyway, I can't recommend this store enough. If you need anything from a screw to a light fixture, they likely will be able to hook you up! Oh, and their prices are awesome too WE NEED TO SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS AND ALL SMALL BUSINESSES. It's so important.

Stopped by this morning for 3 items. They only had 1 of the 3 things I needed. Then it took me 10 minutes to checkout because there was only 1 person at the checkout counter, who left to walk out back to help another customer. Meanwhile there are at least 3 to 4 other workers standing around playing grab ass. In retail you need to win on: Price, product or customer service. If you have none of this to offer it's probably time to close your business!

While on this visit, an employee actually asked me if I needed assistance - and meant it! You have to check out my pics of their nuts and bolts. As a DIYer, I was in heaven. I was looking in bins, just because. They had fasteners, I hadn't seen before, but now I know they exist when I need that certain something in a particularly hard project. The open stock round bins brought a smile on my face as I remembered those bins as a kid going with my grandfather to the hardware store. Alas it was a trip down memory lane, but a modern day open stock hardware island.

I've shopped at this hardware store purely for convenience, but after repeatedly witnessing how the…read moreowner treats his staff, I will no longer be returning. On multiple visits, I've seen employees--often teenagers--spoken to in a demeaning and belittling way. During my most recent visit, I asked an employee a simple question. He went to confirm the answer with the owner and was immediately talked down to. After hearing this, I approached the owner directly to ask the same question myself and unfortunately received the same condescending attitude. It's also worth noting that there are no prices listed on items, which makes shopping unnecessarily frustrating, and if you need to return anything--unused or opened--good luck. It's disappointing to see workers treated this way, and it explains why there seems to be constant staff turnover. Customer service starts with how employees are respected, and sadly, that's lacking here. Despite the longer commute, I'll be taking my business to the other hardware store on the island moving forward.

I have shopped here for everything but most recently indoor and outdoor plants. My pied-de-tierre has a sizable balcony which has great sun exposure but can be cold from marine/beach/ocean layers. Have been on the hunt for specific flowering trees that can tolerate these weather fluctuations. The garden shop has a vast variety of flowering trees I like and purchased at a great value. Again, the staff are always very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Oh, and I have seen some attractive looking people, men and women shop here...not sure if they were shopping for home stuff or shopping for their next date lol Will continue to shop for home stuff at Home Depot, gets my recommendation.

As I didn't want to go driving around and the same thing happen the boss said they can call around to other stores. The man in the photo made the first phone call and hung up and said no one answered. The boss told him to put it on speaker and the next two stores he mumbled to the other person on the line to say they don't have any even if they do so they automatically said they didn't have any. The lady in the photo said to go over to her cash register and she made a phone call and was acting the same dumb way. They literally are making sure the customer doesn't get the item they are looking for. She said the best way to get it is to order it from Amazon, they ship next day.

Items to get the repair, construction, or demolition done. Most of the tools are made in Asia but for the quality and durability of the tools, it's still cheaper than the big boys. Overall five stars. If you know specifically what you want, this is the place. There is a loyalty program. IDK what it does but they got one so might as well sign up.

Over the last three months, I worked with Nick from the Doors and Windows department to select,…read morespec, and purchase windows, exterior doors, and interior doors for a home remodel. I wanted to share my experience now that we are done. I could not have asked for more. I am really grateful for all that Nick did for the project in these last three months. The project wasn't trivial because it was a remodel and because the house was over 100 years old. However, Nick was very knowledgeable, exceptionally responsive, and went out of his way several times to find very detailed information to help me choose and spec the right windows and doors. He also spent time shopping around different distributors to balance price, delivery time, and customization. Every time we met, he took action items for the questions that came up and followed up very quickly to close on them. That was tremendously helpful the project schedule and to reduce risk by ensuring we were choosing and speccing the product correctly. I am grateful to have worked with Dixieline and Nick in particular for this project.
