Very nice hardware store conveniently located in the heart of Bellevue. A large store with a…read morepretty respectably sized lumber yard in the back, Pilot is a Do-It Best brand hardware store. I had gone here in search of some plaster anchors and rather than selling me the more expensive anchors the very helpful clerk pointed me towards the $1 aisle where I found exactly what I was looking for. After asking me what my project for the day was the clerk took me throughout the store and helped me pick out all potentially needed items. The only drawback that I can see of this place is their hours. They close at an hour that would make a banker blush. When I have projects to do I'm typically doing them after my work hours (normal 9-5), and they close at 530 on Weekdays and 3P on Saturdays. That means if I'm working on a project I need to go directly from my work to their store, and hopefully there is no traffic. Very decent selection, and very helpful staff. I'm quite the hardware store fan, and my only other complaint with this store so far is that it's not Klingenberg's in Covington, but hey, maybe I'm biased.

I live quite close to this store, but for a long time I didn't go in. I drove 10-15 minutes to a…read morewarehouse chain store. Why? Small hardware stores can sometimes have a cloud of testosterone in them that is so thick you can't see clearly. Finally, after promising to use my car only when really nessecary, I biked down there to get a few things. I was pleasantly surprised with the service and the helpful attitude of the staff. Like most hardware stores, you aren't going to find yourself chatting up the staff or being stalked around the store like you are in the Gap, but I like that. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because, being a smaller store, their selection is slightly limited.

I found them because I needed to go to Acme locksmiths (acme is a super weird ancient business name.) I had good experiences with Acme OTR https://www.yelp.com/biz/acme-lock-woods-hardware-cincinnati-5. This Acme has their own free parking. Acme is across the street from Landwehr, or I would never have found it, They have Christmas year around, toys, board games. Included are yard ornaments. It's really not what most people would think of a hardware store, really doesn't appear to have a good collection of hardware, and the staff, usually one person, is not busy. It's much better as a film set for a spooky weird or quirky cute Tim Burton movie. It would also be a goldmine for set decorators! It could be an alternate toy shopping experience for children, so different from big box and artisanal children stores. I enjoy hardware stores. The old Aufdenkampe Hardware was counter service like Portland's Winks Hardware. Hyde Park Lumber also had great service, lumber and nails. That's my expectation. Product knowledge. Sadly product knowledge has been supplanted by clueless megas importing low quality, Lowes, Home Depot and Menards, along with strugglers Ace and Best; they all have bland upstream supply chains. One fond memory was visiting my neighborhood hardware in another city searching for a hand citrus juicer. They said "I think we have those." They found a glass one in the basement and they charged the original cost. $.88. Honest. I still have it. Another time I had to find a hardware store in Eldoret, Kenya for work gloves and got the owner's observations on the sociology of the country. This is an interesting neighborhood. See Landwehrs before it passes to development. And buy something there! More: http://www.rcnky.com/articles/2015/05/03/decades-family-business-has-seen-ups-downs-downtown-covington

Please, please, please do yourself a favor and get to Landwehrs. If you're a fan of the Christmas…read moreStory Movie, walking into this store is like BEING in that film. Landwehrs is a piece of Americana that I worry (seriously worry) will fall by the wayside--a traditional Hardware, paint and toy store like your grandparents took your mom and dad to--you get errands done, and pick up a model train or airplane because they were so good while there. The old storefront is jam packed with items--long sweeping hardwood floors and original shelving from the turn of the century provide room for stock all the way to the top of the 13 foot ceilings. And the stuff!!!! Amazing things--twin zinc sinks for basement or potting shed use. General hardware, electrical and other items, but Landwehrs has "green living" items, too--though I'm pretty sure they simply fall under the term "common sense items". I bought my canning equipment here a few years back--they were the only place in a 30 mile radius that had any. I go back here for jars and anything else I might need for canning. I've been told by a machinist that Landwehr's has parts that he larger hardware stores don't stock anymore. The owner is SO very helpful, and I never leave empty handed. There is ALWAYS something I need, even if it's not what I walked in for. Another treasure for the City of Covington. Sure, these folks could take a bus to Newport Shopping Center to Kmart, but why would they? He's got everything they want, right there. At Christmas, they have all the really cool old Christmas Decorations our parents put out when we were small, for sale right out front. Did my heart good to see those decorations all lit up with the snow just before Christmas. I even bought a Rudolph last year because, well, having a little kid makes you nostalgic.

Not sure what colors? They have in house consultations and in home consults available (limited availability). All the products you need, the advice you need, and all questions answered no matter how silly they sound out loud. And I have never once been made to feel it was an off base question. Perfect example of how customer service should be and how others should strive to replicate Value - tremendous considering the work and time saved when the correct products are used. Expert advice available for which product is best for your needs (I prefer the emerald line for interior)

The Sherwin-Williams paint selection is absolutely amazing! There are so many great color options and some many different levels of paint to choose from! Whole Wheat (SW 6121) Mega Greige (SW 7031) are two of our favorites! We have also used their paint to create a movie theater screen wall and it works perfectly for a screen projector!

I remember speaking to Dan most of the time I was there. He is extremely knowledgeable, and helpful. He has assisted me through many projects that i was a little clueless as to how to begin. He didn't just sell me stuff, he wanted to make sure I chose the right products, and didn't buy crap I didn't need (Many times he said 'no don't buy that, that's unnecessary/too expensive for that project, I recommend...'). He always me through many options at different price points or levels of effort. I'm not a contractor or handyman or anything, I just bought a new house and am trying to DIY stuff around the house. I never thought I could love a paint / hardware store so much but wow this is such a good local business. I must have been there 10+ times in the past 3 months but they are consistently guiding me in the right direction. This store is pretty small, but for paint and glass products, I would never go to Home D***t or L**es ever again.

The previous homeowners left all the paint they used for our home. Thankfully the color names were on the top bucket and we were able to purchase them at the store. Will assisted us and he was very patient answering all our questions and helpful. We had to run back home and get the type of paint and was able to call it in so when we got there, it was ready. Their product is quality and last a long time. I love the color. Also, they were able to put our purchase in their data base so next time if we forgot the name of the paint, it's already in their system. Besides paint, they sell accessories from paint brushes, rollers, tape and everything you need to paint your rooms/house. I know we will be back. We are thinking painting my office and bedroom which means we will need another gallon. Definitely a satisfied customer.

Our paint was versatile gray in the Emerald brand and has a limited lifetime guarantee. I think we definitely got what we paid for and then some. You can tell it's high quality paint. Plus Will saved our color under our profile so we could order easily in the future. We'll definitely be going back before our next paint job.
