What a surprise…read more I've never given much thought to paint and assumed that the Behr brand from Home Depot was more than decent. Boy was I wrong. David from SW made his recommendation on the color and type of paint according to our needs. I gave SW's emerald paint a try and I will never go back to Home Depot for paint. The hubby was able to paint our interior walls and the fumes were fairly non-existent and the quality of paint was excellent. Our maroon walls were painted in origami white in two coats. Sign up for their paint perks program to receive coupons and sale notifications. We got our paint at 30% off during their sale and the price was near what we would have paid at Home Depot. No brainer.

My name is David Parsons…read more  I'm a small business owner having started 3 successful businesses in the services industry and own a marketing/consulting firm that works with top name-brand items on the mainland, US. I live full-time on the island of Kauai. Two of my service business - Hawaii Window Cleaners & Power Washing & Kauai Solar Cleaning are located here. I cannot speak more highly of Kyson and his team at ACE Ele Ele. I visit this store 2-3x per week over other ACE stores simply because of the personal service I've received by Kyson, Roger, and Vince at this location. I am willing to spend more here than at Home Depot (closer to my offices) to receive their personal assistance during shopping.  As a small business owner my time is money. Being able to walk in the door at Ele Ele Ace and instantly be greeted by a team member willing to help me find what items I need allows me to get out and onto the job site faster and with less returns for additional supplies.  I want to share two specific stories from 2024 that exemplify the care given by this store which has stuck with me over the year and caused me to sit down to provide positive feedback on their account. Story #1: Over the summer I serviced a new client through my window cleaning company - The Waimea Plantation Cottages by Coastline Resorts - a well known vacation destination on the west side of the island. The new account promised a HUGE contract and ongoing work. On our first job with the resort my crew and I completed a major window and screen clean of two of the largest cottages in the resort and at the end of the day we accidentally broke one screen frame. The job had to be done by 5pm for us to close the job as guests were arriving that evening.  I jumped in my car and drove to Ace Ele Ele hoping they had the custom screen channel (color and gage size) so I could repair the screen and replace it before we had to be done.  I arrived at ACE Ele Ele at 3:30pm. I was in the screen repair area and Kyson asked if I needed help as he could see I clearly was searching for something in haste. I showed him the screen channel and he proceeded to look with me. After 15 mins of searching through inventory I gave up. Kyson, on the other hand, didn't. He saw that he had one box left of the screen channel in the inventory records and was determined to find it. He continued to look for an additional 20 mins through every box that he had stacked in the back and HE FOUND IT! Kyson's selfless and persistent hunt for the product saved me the reputation of a successful job finished with a new client and a four hour trip to the north shore where they had the channel size at a different ACE. What is more, after leaving, Vince asked if it would be helpful for me to have the screen build quickly onsite and got it done in 15 minutes while I was at the bank. I was out the door by 4:30pm and back at the Waimea Plantation Cottages with the new screen installed by 5:05pm in time for the guests check-in. Story #2: Over the holidays I realized I was about to run out of propane. My wife was frantically preparing for family to arrive and she was preparing food when the propane stove started flickering as the gas was low. I jumped in the car and drove to Ace Ele Ele to have the tank refilled. When I pulled up I saw Roger at the propane bay. He could hear my two kids crying in the car (I have a 7-month old and a 2-year old) and he sprinted over to my car to help me with the propane. He proceeded to fill it up for me while I fed the baby and called it into the front. While I was paying for the propane he watched my kids and loaded the propane into the minivan for me. I was back at home with the new tank in less than an hour.  I cannot thank Kyson and his team enough for how much they actually care. Living on an island I experience so much complacency at businesses... employees not caring or taking any pride in the human interaction, the joy of leaving customers satisfied, and a job well done with a smile on.  Ace Ele Ele is the opposite. They are passionate, caring people always ready to help with a genuine sense of aloha. Mahalo.

I swear, this store used to be like a Ben Franklin store over 20 years ago, but I can clearly see it's now a hardware/craft store. I basically came in here to buy some batteries for a combo lock I was working on, as the safe combo lock needed some new batteries. I was in a rush as I was pressed for time, and I had asked my customer on - "where was the closest store" from this bank I was working at? My customer told me that there was an Ace Hardware/ Craft store just down the street from where I was working....... cool! Drove down the street & popped into the store. It was kinda overwhelming when I walked into the store, as this store was big and carried a lot of items. While looking through the isles, looking for the batteries, I guess a clerk (working on the floor) noticed that I needed some help. He walked up to me and offered his assistance, I in turn told him what I came in here for. He quickly led me to the spot where they had this large battery display.......all the batteries I needed. What great customer service I tell you! Grabbed all the batteries I needed, & made a beeline to the checkout stand. Paid for my stuff, and headed straight out the door lickity-split! What a great shopping experience! I think the next time I have more time, I'll stop by here again to check out their tool selection.
