My original idea was to leave the indentation or coiffered look and add some molding but am so glad he suggested to fill it in. It looks a lot better than my idea. When the granite guy tore up the walls removing the old counters, Scott came back and fixed the damage, [no charge]. He said "I have a new job across the street. not a big deal". When's the last time you heard that? Since then I have seen Scott on a couple other projects. Very consistent and professional. Hope you're lucky enough that he has time for you.

They didn't have one part --a 1" spring loaded slip flow check valve. They didn't know what a 'crack pressure' on a spring flow valve was. Only had a hing valve. That only works for horizontal positions & one vertical position when flow is against gravity. Not my situation. I felt I was going to get it BC of --some reason. So I bought. It was larger than the install dimensions of the job piping so I would need bushings. Great now I will look like a rookie plumber. A 'Rube Goldberg' install. So pro that ... After driving back to the job I decided there was no Zombie Armageddon. I went to HD got the CORRECT PARTS in stock. Three parts for $20.00 w/ a snack @ HD as opposed to 5 parts @ Ferguson for $50.00 w/out a snack. What? I'm a licensed CA plumber.

Two Hardware Stores, in our area-- And a Few Thoughts:…read more We're fortunate to have two hardware stores in our area -- convenience matters, and I genuinely try to keep my spending local. The staff is consistently helpful and knowledgeable, and that counts for a lot. Supporting local businesses means keeping our neighbors employed, and I don't take that lightly. But let's talk about the elephant in the room: pricing. I've done the comparisons. Many items here run 2x what you'd pay online -- and increasingly, I'm seeing things priced at 3x the online equivalent. I understand local businesses can't always match the big online retailers, but markups at that level make it genuinely hard to justify shopping here regularly, even when I want to. For my fellow seniors: there's a 10% discount available -- but only one day a week. Here's the thing: we're seniors every single day. To their credit, the other hardware store in our area offers no senior discount at all -- so this place is at least a step ahead there. But a modest everyday discount, even at a lower percentage, would go a long way toward building loyalty with a customer base that shops consistently and values local relationships. It would be worth exploring. I'm not here to organize a boycott -- that's not my style. But I will say this: if the pricing gap keeps widening, more and more of us are drifting to online options, not out of preference, but out of necessity. It's worth noting that seniors are a very different customer base than they were 5 or 10 years ago -- nearly everyone I know has learned to shop online, or has someone who does it for them. For those of us on fixed incomes, finding a better price isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. The goodwill is there. The staff is great. Meet us halfway on the value, and this place could really thrive.
