My impression of this ACE hardware in Crystal River FL is not from a single visit. It is a…read moreconglomerate review from several visits over time, and the experience has been uniquely the same overall, and have been great each time. When I do reviews that are panoramic-that is an overall picture, so to speak, I would make concession if on an occasion an experience was bad or whatnot. I would chalk it up to someone may have had a bad day or something, because we're human. Honestly, I haven't ever had to do that with any of the times that I visited this place. Employees like Joe, who've helped me with hardware and with his peripheral knowledge on what I was coming in there for, was both time saving and relieving for me. Also including cashier Lynn, and others I fail to name, really do make ACE such a friendly and welcoming environment. These team members and others there are exceedingly exceptional. You can tell these are people who care about what they do, the impressions that they give, and they take pride in what they do. Kudos to them and other staff. I've always liked the "mom and pop" feel of these hardware stores. Obviously, their prices are a bit higher because they have to compete with the big retailers and the ones online, no names need mentioning. That is too bad, and it could be easier for some to go elsewhere, but the trade off is not getting quality service. That is not an equalized trade-off at all in my opinion. So, person's like Joe, and service members there, have recognized that people would rather come to pay a little more to get their consistent quality customer service. Also, customer based relationships with contented consumers are developed that way. They establish a loyalty to them and familiarity. Further, Ace has a loyalty program and discount flyers often. I hope these places continue to stay around for the long hall.

They carry everything painting related that you could possibly need, so it's a great, one-stop paint shop. I went in to get some ideas as to what color to paint my newly renovated kitchen. The main line they carry is Benjamin Moore. It's a quality paint, and the displays they had offered plenty of paint chip samples for me to choose from. While there I also picked up a beautiful metallic paint for an arts and crafts project. At the register I asked where cheap paint brushes would be - and they man showed me they had three differently-sized $5 brushes right at checkout. So smart and so convenient. I've narrowed down my color choices, so I called ahead to get two sample colors made. Each color cost $6.99, and was ready by the time I arrived to pick it up. They also provided recommendations for painters when I asked, which is so useful. Why deal with the hassle of a big box store, when you can shop here with no fuss? They have been in business since 1933, and I hope they make it another 87 years!

After shopping here for a little more than three years, I think it is safe to share. There is enough paint to go around. It is located on a section of South St. that goes one-way towards Downtown Orlando. Access Primrose St. from whichever direction north or south and then turn towards west, this is a one way. Parking is restricted to street level along South St., be extremely careful with traffic. This is not your big box hardware store with tons of people at your disposal to guide you to every little piece of fancy tool or gimmick you see on HGTV. The limited number of people who work here are extremely dedicated and knowledgeable in their product. If you ask for something specific and they say "We don't have that." Believe them. They know. The store is crammed into a little space with very narrow walking aisles. However, the staff here is knowledgeable and can definitely find anything comparable to what your favorite HGTV host was talking about. Normally, the people who shop here are private contractors with small individually owned companies. The claim to fame here is paint. They have over a gazillion gallons of paint stored inside and out back, yes....in the backyard. You name the most fanciful of paints, they have it. From the $55 a gal Benjamin Moore Aura, Pratt and Lambert, Sherwin Williams, to the elastomeric exterior Color Wheel and anywhere in between. They carry exterior, interior, stains, gels, wood, metal, industrial, and home paints. If there is something specific you want, like maybe a low VOC, they can make it for you. Did I mention that they have a mad scientist ...um mixologist who will mix up anything? Oh yeah, he is a genius. They have those giant color swatches available in the store. But it is advisable to bring your own color swatches with exactly what finish and the amount you need. From there the mixologist will help you find what you need. If he can't find your exact request he'll whip up a batch for you. Word of caution here.....since it maybe very hard to replicate this special mix, buy enough or a little extra. Word of caution have a paint strainer handy when you are ready to paint. Since some of this paint may sit outside for a while there could be some sediment formation. No worries, strain and paint. So where does all of this paint come from? There are several big name paint companies when they mistint big orders what will they do with the "damaged" paint? Sell it to this store at a significantly lower price. That saving is passed on to you. Three years ago the price for a gal of paint at Wonder products was $5. Today it is $8. So for $8 a gal you can get a $55 gal paint, if that is what you want. Since this is a mistint paint store the price for white paint is much higher. There might be special features that you wish for, they will take your order and ask you to came back later. In a day or two they have new paint coming in all the time. Your special order may be in there. Whatever you fancy they are willing to work with you to get there. You just got to have some patience. Great find, great store, friendly reliable solid staff.

The names he gave them, well we still laugh about. Oyster for the bed room was darker brown and some foo foo mocha color was light brown. This is surplus paint from stores and construction. It is a major brand. Order enough because this is real custom. We ended up with about a half gallon to gallon extra for each so we have some for touch ups and to redo the wall where I am building another closet. I would definitely do this again. We have about 1800 sq/ft. of livable space. We primed all walls and ceilings, moulding, doors etc. Painted all surfaces, different color in each room. No issues, still looks great. Im not going to give an exact price but lets say it was under 400. Saved well over a thousand dollars. It's not a home store but if it going to one makes you feel better go there. AJ is a pretty reasonable guy. Pretty sure if you had a problem he would work with you. Sorry for the late review
