Arlene the paint lady works here, and that is really all you need to know…read more The woman is a paint tinting wunderkind. Paint, stain, whatever - bring in a dirty faded paint chip off your porch and she'll clean and match it. Screw up your guesstimate of a good stain color for the deck? She'll re-tint that gallon and have you on your way. Usual complement of hardware things as well, but the real standout is the paint in its quality (Valspar and Cabot) and service.

A store where you could purchase one nail, or a kitchen towel, or a snow blower, or some candy for your kids. I realized I needed an ice scraper for my new car and the owner (I looked him up) told me he would go to the basement since the scrapers weren't up from the basement yet. I bought a reasonably price scraper with brush, a shorter one, and another one with a metal blade which is hard to find anymore. Stop in to see how small towns are still doing it up right.

As for the "help" well the other reviewer hit on something that is EVERYWHERE, you can't find good help, and the box stores are no better! I think the other reviewer has some anger issues...

We have been going here for all our outdoor rental needs for over 5 years. We truly have had a good…read moreexperience here to start. Our most recent experience was unfortunate enough to say we won't be using them again. My husband and I had 3 tree stumps that needed to ground down. Yesterday we rented the smaller of their stump grinders and got it home to find it had no oil and couldn't get it running after a couple hours of troubleshooting it. When my husband brought it back the owner was there said, "I typically don't recommend this machine to anyone." That would have been nice to know. Day 2 we gave them a a 2nd chance and rented the larger stump grinder. We were able to get one stump of the three completed but had to spend most of our time trouble shooting this machine as well. Before using it we checked the oil and it was very very low. My husband finally gave up and brought it back and the owner didn't seem to care in the slightest or give any type of break for two machines and hundreds of dollars that's got us almost nowhere. The owner's son said, "well it looks like you got an hour out of it at least." We made it very known we will not be returning. Machinery is not well kept or reliable. Owner's customer service is sub-par.
