Sure, I am pretty positive there are bigger and more well stocked hardware stores locally, but this is MY store. Why? I love the staff. They know me, they joke, we smile, and they have the things I need. Why look other places right? It's the small town feel of these smaller chain branches that make me love where I live and I wouldn't change it. Cons: The parking is tight and shared, peak hours gets tricky. Pros: Too many to list.

The local hardware store is really a thing of the past, which is why supporting small stores is so important.

I was looking to buy mason jars and I compared Amazon, Target.. and I saw that Ace Hardware also…read morehad them but cheaper! I thought I would just stop by on my way home and buy it then.. I stopped at this Ace Hardware in Elk Grove. It's a couple stores down from Trader Joe's and it was clean and organized like you would think the store had just opened for the day but it was actually near closing. An employee asked if they could help, they pointed me in the right direction and I saw the price didn't match what I saw online. So, I pulled out my phone to see what I saw earlier-- the price online was cheaper. I stood there ordering pick up online so I could pay the cheaper price and the employee that helped me when I came in confirmed-- yes, that happens a lot. Online prices are cheaper. My online order was to be ready for pick up in 15 minutes. It was less than that when they got the order and let me know and brought it to the front cashier where I showed my ID and signed that I picked it up. For the clean store and the helpful and kind staff, I give this place 4 stars. And, now I know to compare with online prices with the in-store price.

Thank you, Carter!!! He helped me with my screens and was honest about it! He could have up selled…read moreservices but had integrity to help fix the problem. I appreciate it and it will make me want to come back for any other household needs. Thank you!

We are so fortunate to have a local, non-"box" commercial hardware store near us…read more.. It is the last of its kind in Land Park and we try to support it anyway we can! The staff are personable and helpful and it carry's many smaller items (like unique screws, nuts and fasteners) in small or singular quantities so you don't have to buy a "lifetime supply" for one project like you would have to at a Lowes or Home Depot!

It's my hardware store. I've found the Goldilocks of hardware stores. JUST RIGHT. Pocket Ace- just,…read moreno. Emigh- across town, ghetto 'hood but not ghetto prices. East Sacramento- that closed, now it's a plant store. Who needs a hammer when you can have a succulent? Elk Grove: $$$, plus being asked if I need help multiple times is scary (five times in five minutes, rule of thumb). Newbert's: yes, this was the best but it's been closed for decades and is probably a cannabis dispensary now. Archie's: also closed. Don't get me started. Why: Selection: This store has pretty damn much anything you could need, with limits. Kitchen, hardware, tools, electrical, garden, paint, nuts, bolts, chemicals. It's not a warehouse, it's a STORE. So calm down if you don't have every option, you're going to get in the ballpark. This fall I found a great manure fork here (no I don't live in Iowa but it's a great garden tool and mine got "lost" in my last move). PS, the big orange didn't even have one. Price: I was pricing Weber bbqs this summer and the units here were 10% less than pocket ace or Elk Grove. That got my attention. I recently got a great shovel for $16.99 on sale. Yes, a sale. You will have a range of options and usually there is a cheap(Er) option than at other stores, and better made. Recently I was pricing shovels at Home Depot and their cheaply made unforged (but costly) shovels couldn't match the shovel I bought at Hollywood. Help: someone can help you if you ask but you can browse without feeling like you are being stalked. Oddities: my last time here while at check out a customer came in cradling a duck and said out loud "I have a duck that needs repair." No one was fazed. The duck, alas, was a decoy but quite convincing. Need I say more?

If you know me personally or have read my past Yelp reviews, you probably understand that I am…read moreconstantly on the hunt for resources or materials that can act as a timesaver. While browsing an automotive detail thread on Reddit, I came across a detailer who praised the use of a foam gun to quickly wash vehicles. I have seen in the past that some individuals use a pressure washer with a foam cannon attached; however, I have had a negative experience with a pressure, so I preferred to have a foam gun that could attach to a traditional water hose. After two failed attempts with foam guns on Amazon (both foam guns required a hard to find special water hose), I decided to do a traditional Google search. My search led me to Grant's Extreme Foaming Spray Gun, which was conveniently available at the Harbor Freight store in close proximity to my home. Based on the photos provided in the near-perfect reviews, I knew that this was the one! It happened to be Labor day weekend; therefore, there was a coupon deal for the foam gun. Upon entering the store, I was greeted by an employee as I made my way to the car detail section of the store (similar to some other stores, Harbor Freight includes the Aisle number online for each in-store product). Minutes later I was at home using my new "toy" to wash my car. As a tip use a foam wash (I included a photo of Meguiar's Ultimate Snow Foam Wash that I purchased at O'Reilly's) instead of a traditional car wash solution, you will see more foam while using less solution. Thank you EG Harbor Freight!

And once again Lowe's completely came through for me. I've always felt like Lowe's has a little more of the home and garden decor vibe compared to other hardware stores. It feels a little more curated and easier to find those farmhouse or outdoor pieces that actually feel pretty and functional. Not only did I find the perfect white trellis for the exact space I had in mind, but it was over 90% off. Total score moment. I also found the perfect farmhouse-style white rectangular planter for the bougainvillea I had just picked up, and it ended up looking so gorgeous together. Honestly I left way happier than expected after originally feeling disappointed not finding anything at the first store. Helpful tip: Definitely check the clearance garden section because apparently that's where the magic was hiding this trip. So glad I decided to make the extra stop because Lowe's really delivered for me yet again.

I really want an alternative to just spending most of my paycheck at the other orange store. Being…read morea homeowner, I feel like I am always going to a home improvement store to work on a house project. I needed a new lawn mower amd ordered it for pick up. Their pick up area is not intuitive. After a little bit of fiddling with 2 different touchpads they had at the spot where it's designated as "online orders," someone came over and helped me out. Almost got ran over as I was leaving the store. The place was stupid crowded and the people there were pretty obnoxious. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

It's like Disneyland to all of us DIY enthusiasts!! They sell everything! They sell paint with all the gadgets, plumbing supplies, electrical, bathroom and kitchen cabinets, flooring, wood, tools, HVAC, plants, and much more! Ooooh! They even sell holiday decorations!!! Cool ones! My new thing is to order online! They pull all my items and put it in the customer service area. They send a message when it is ready. I pull up my car and they load it! Easy peasey!! Now, that sounds ideal when you have project deadlines. For me, I still have to walk in and check out new items!! For the staff inside the store, they have been helpful and cordial as always! My online order was painless and correct. The customer service desk is always awesome to deal with. Overall, a great place to shop for all your home needs. We've also had to order things online when the store does not keep in their warehouse as a regular item. They have a huge parking lot so parking has been easy. The store has been clean and organized. Their prices are competitive. Always plan ahead so you can catch the on sale items!

In a time when good customer service is almost nonexistent, the Harbor Freight on Fruitridge Road…read morein South Sacramento is a standout. The two women running this store are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive -- exactly what great customer service looks like. And a special shoutout to the security guard, who was sharp, observant, and on point the entire time. This whole team takes pride in what they do and it shows. Thank you, ladies -- and thank you to the security guard as well. Ps... good deals on sump pumps at this store.

I went into Harbor Freight to purchase two carports and immediately had a bad experience. When I…read moreasked for help, an employee said, "Ugh, I don't think I can carry anything heavy today." That was shocking to hear, considering helping customers load items is part of the job--and they have dollies and equipment for that exact reason. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming and depressing. Employees openly complained about their jobs and showed zero effort to help customers who were purchasing large items they sell every day. There was no teamwork, no initiative, and no customer service. Another employee questioned whether my vehicle was big enough. I drive a Chevy Tahoe--it absolutely fits two carports. Instead of speculating, someone could have easily come outside to check or switched positions so a more capable employee could assist. If an employee has an injury or physical limitation, that should be communicated professionally and handled by management. Simply refusing to help without explanation is unacceptable. I manage people myself, and I would never allow an employee with that attitude to interact with customers. I live with multiple sclerosis and deal with daily pain, yet I still show up and do my job with professionalism. Effort and attitude matter. Because no one was willing to help load the carports--or seemed interested in completing the sale--I had to drive all the way home and send my husband back to get them. He was also frustrated by the service. While he was loading the items himself, the same employee told him to move the car while she remained seated at the register. If staff aren't going to assist with loading, they shouldn't be dictating how customers manage it. This was by far the worst service I've ever experienced at Harbor Freight. Lazy attitudes, poor management, and no accountability. Extremely disappointing. The main employee that was not trying to even help me was white, super short hair and light colored eyes. Earrings were dangling. Her color doesn't matter because I'm white too so don't come at me yall. Just mentioning this so yall can avoid her boo whoo self. I'll call and get a name later and update but damn harbor freight. Fire her asap.
