It helps that the store's just a short walk from my house. But what turned me into such a fan is the exceptional customer service. As soon as I step in the door I know I'll get a friendly hello and offer of help from whoever's working the counter. Owner Jim Welna and his staff have proven time and time again they're more than happy to go the extra mile to come up with solutions to problems. Plus, when it comes to product recommendations, I can trust they'll steer me in the right direction. Instead of the most expensive item, they'll show me what's locally produced, eco-friendly, AND most cost effective. If they don't have what I need they'll do what they can to make sure I get it. And these people know their stuff! One more thing: If your timing's right, as mine was on my second trip, Mr. Welna might offer you one of the hot dogs he's got cooking on the grill out back. That's the kind of added bonus that makes this family-owned neighborhood hardware such a standout!

Stop in and talk to Ted or Karl and they'll provide advice and assistance on all your painting, staining, varnishing, and decorating needs. They can match and custom tint your paint. They'll save the particular paint colors for each room of your home in their computer system in case you ever need to order more or touch-up a room. The store sells painting, staining, and varnishing supplies, as well as shades and blinds. While the Benjamin Moore paint line costs a bit more, we've found countless times that their paints will cover with less paint than cheaper brands from elsewhere. Benjamin Moore paints coat nearly every room of our home and it's held up well over the years. I highly recommend the store not only for the high quality paint, but also the individualized service you'll receive from the owners.
