went to fill propane tanks today. Eric who was the attendant was fantastic. Personable, kind, efficient. We had an experience. Two beautiful puppies came running up to us, obviously had escaped from the yard somewhere! One ran back home...10 min later the owner came and retrieved the other. I wanted him! Sad. Eric felt the same read more

Salk's Ace Hardware & Marine - Hardware Stores Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

This store has a great friendly and helpful staff. I was looking for a kitchen timer and I asked someone where to find it and he took me directly to the exact location of the item. When I was ready to check out, the cashier was also very chatty and friendly. It's always refreshing to come to small businesses and being treated like a person, not just like a revenue-generating entity. read more

Salk's Ace Hardware & Marine - Hardware Stores Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Adam was extremely helpful with a grill issue that I was having. He even came to my home and resolved the problem. read more

Friendly service. Wide selection of must haves fit basic repairs, yard work and grilling. Price point is in line with big box stores but convenience of in and out is key. read more

Ace app is lousy. Will change your "My Store" to a store that you didn't select. Well, that's neither here nor there. One Ace store advertised lawnmower for $449 less $50 for rewards members, which I am. Exact lawnmower rang up at $499 at the store that I thought I had selected. But, lo and behold, the price I was looking at was a different Ace. At this store, they would NOT match the price of the other Ace that was selling it at $449, plus online! The Ace I was standing in lost the sale as I went to Lowes and bought the mower for $399. Management should review their customer service policy. Plus, their price was $100 more for a non-rewards member than Lowe's price. read more

A place for stuff A hardware marine type store located conveniently on Rt. 117. It's not as small as the old fashion places but not as huge as the massive, impersonal home improvement places. Just the right size to probably find what you want but still get the personal service you might need. The store has all the usual bolts, nuts, hinges and tools and also has some marine stuff thrown in. It even has a table with reduced items in the front. The people working there know what they are talking about and take the time to make sure you can actually make use of whatever it is you're buying. A good store for someone who knows they need something but isn't always sure exactly what that something is. read more

This store is poorly run and doesn't honor their own return policy. I will never shop here again. The manager is extremely rude and unprofessional and the floor manager is less intelligent than a shovel. If you care at all about how women are treated you won't support this business. read more

Horrible customer service. Staff is consistently rude. We try to support small local businesses, and shop local, but will be taking our business elsewhere in the future. read more

I love Ace Hardware. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The level of knowledge and professionalism is like no other.

Went to have a propane tank filled. Was told there was a problem with the tank and told me to go somewhere else. Brought it to another place that fills propane tanks and it filled right up with no issues. read more

I checked the website to see if they had an item in stock on Saturday night. When I placed the item in the cart, it said available for pick up today. My husband went the next day to buy the item, but the spot on the shelf for the item was bare. A salesperson asked if he found what he was looking for. My husband told him no and asked if they had any in the stock room. He was told if there isn't any on the shelf then they don't have it. He said the next delivery truck would be Wednesday so check back. I thought it was strange the site said they had it, but the salesperson couldn't be bothered to check the stockroom. So I went ahead and ordered it on Monday night. Shortly after I placed the order, I got an email stating the item was ready for pick up. My husband went there on Tuesday afternoon and told the salesperson who gave him the order the item was there on Sunday and what happened with the other salesperson who had waited on him. My husband asked when the last delivery truck was and the associate said Friday. My husband said he was there on Sunday and what the other associate told him. The salesperson said he couldn't understand why things transpired as they did. read more

I like Salk's. Local place with a little bit of everything. Are the prices the cheapest? Well no, probably not. But it's right down the road from me, people are friendly and helpful, and you can find all kinds of useful items you didn't know you needed. Parking's easy and the store is clean. Sometimes it just so much nicer to go to a smaller place than to the big box stores. Actually, Salk's is bigger than it appears from the outside, lots of corners and back areas to explore. Also, if you get in their system, periodically you will get discount coupons in the mail. read more

Would give this location zero stars if possible have shopped here for years and their customer service gets worse every year. Went here on a Sunday to get gas before they stopped selling at 4:45 arrived at 4:30 rang the bell waited a few minutes rang it again and waited so more. At 4:43 went to the door and was told it was closed, after saying I've been waiting for 10 minutes was brushed off with "yeah it's closed " final straw I guess I'll give my money to the big box stores from now on and not my local hardware store. read more

Purchased a aerator for faucet from another Ace who said no issue if it doesn't fit ! EXCEPT you have to return at that location . Went here only to spend another 10 minutes with no resolve for a simple cover ?? Both stores clueless & this Mgr was rude and never tried to help ! Tried to give Mom & Pops business as I just bought a house but forget this rudeness !! The kid who helped at least tried so I'll give a star ! They'll be closed soon like most ! Their too cheap for gift cards too ! A cheesy piece of paper easily lost read more

I am not handy, I do not do home improvements BUT I did go here with my boyfriend the other day to pick up some items to finish up our fence. Super friendly staff. Not just one but THREE people asked us if we needed help while we were there. I like the smaller feel as opposed to the Home Depots or Lowes of the world where you need to hunt someone down to grab you something fro the highest shelf ever built. The selection looked pretty all encompassing and we left with everything we needed in hand. Job well done Ace. read more

This place would be fine if they gave a damn about their employees. The turnover rate here must be absolutely ridiculous. The only ones that stick around are totally clueless or are backed into a corner for a job. The owner clearly doesn't care about his employees, and I wouldn't doubt if he cuts hours to keep people under full-time/under the minimum hours needed to pay for mandatory healthcare. There are better places to shop that actually care about the people who work for them. Go there instead if you care about employers paying their workers a living wage. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff, much nicer than trying to find what we need at Lowes. A little pricey, but we try to shop there as much as we can for our home hardware needs. read more

We purchased three propane tanks from the North Kingston store this winter 2017-18 which do not work because they were not purged says the store manager when approached. He also said there was nothing they could do. So now we are stuck with three tanks full of bad gas. We have spent thousands in this store. For a loyal customer that was not what we wanted to hear. Also the staff in this store is not the friendliest we've experienced. The workers are not approachable and when we approach them it is like they are being bothered. Smiles and "May I help you go a long way," remember, your customers pay your weekly checks. read more

Have been a loyal customer for years and always gave my business first to them, after today no more. If salks fills a propane tank and you bring it home and it leaks gas, what do you think should happen. No so at salks , I was told nothing they could do about it and that the tank was expired. Well if that is the case, why fill it? I would have gladly paid for a new inspected tank, but to not offer a credit on a propane fill due to the circumstances is not worth the loss if even one customer. To bad, im lowes would have gone above and beyond. Sorry I gave business to you all these years.... Regrettably, USCG retired read more

Used to love this place. Unfortunatly I had a pretty bad customer experience which may keep me from going back. Saw an item in store on a shelf marked at $14.99. Took it to ring out only to be told it was more expensive. I was told they couldnt do anything about it. Even walmart will honor a mis marker item. Pretty disappointed. read more

A good hardware store with almost every thing you might need, I like the royal paint the price is right, store service is good and the quality is right up there with more expensive brands read more

Great a small place, if you need little things for everything. This is the place to go!! It's a local hardware store which has a lot of needed items for the community!! read more

I have never given a review (good or bad) but I just left Salks and am not happy. I purchased a brand new boat and 6hp motor from them in very late June, spending nearly $4,000.00. Used the dinghy several times and everything was fine. On Friday September 2nd I took the dinghy for a ride and docked it with no problem. Shortly after I went to restart the motor and the pull cord was frozen, appeared to be some sort of a linkage issue. I called Salks and they said "bring it down and we will have the mechanic take a look at it". I was happy with that, being Labor Day weekend I wanted to have the dinghy working. When I got to Salks they said the mechanic comes in and picks up the motors and brings them back in a week or so. Had I known that I probably would have just brought it to the mechanic across the street, assuming it was just a minor adjustment. Over two weeks later I called to check the status and they told me that the motor wasn't picked up until the 17th of September. Today (Saturday September 24th) I received a call informing me that the motor was repaired and that I had a balance due of $87.00. When I asked why it wasn't under warranty I was told I needed to talk to the service manager. I went to pick up the motor and was told the service manager was on break. When the young cashier asked someone what to do, a women's voice from somewhere in the store hollered in front of everybody "don't release the motor until he pays in full". Needless to say it was at the least a little embarrassing. To sum it up, the mechanics notes were that the motor was laid down on the wrong side, which I found odd because it never came off the dinghy, and he had to remove the spark plug and clean the carburetor and never mentioned the pull cord issue. I paid them the $87.00 ransom to get my engine back and will never step foot in one of their stores again. It's a shame because I really liked the staff and products up until this episode. read more

I visited this store today 2/23/15 @ 12:00pm looking for ice melt, they did have some, however, I did have a question. I approached the cashier, (blonde, didn't get her name), to ask my question. I started out.... "The ice melt..... she cut me right off and said "that's all we have sir". So I continued my question.... "is it pet safe". She responded quite sarcastically "No sir, it's salt." At that point I just said, thank you and left the store. I have been in customer service over 30 years. This blonde woman, who has been at this store for years, needs retraining or to be replaced. read more

I really like the idea of a local hardware store but unfortunately this one has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. After a 45 attempt to buy a grill with one issue after another the manager "Adam" finally decided to help is clearly struggling employee. Adam's customer service skills were far from management level to say the least so we decided to leave. We had been extremely patient up until this point as the staff tried to find the serial number, and figure out the various issues but Adam's careless and unprofessional behavior was not worth working with. read more

Will not patronize a business that employs a Level 2 sex offender. Great otherwise.
