Sometimes a quick hardware run turns into an unexpected test of patience. On December 5, 2025 at…read morearound 5:15 PM, a friendly cashier called the manager over because two clearance items were incorrectly priced. One item wasn't marked at all, and the other showed a $10 sticker with an additional 50% off. When I scanned the barcode in the Ace Hardware app, the item rang up as $2.99, so I kindly requested a price match based on Ace's own listed pricing. The manager entered the interaction abruptly, avoided eye contact, and loudly exclaimed "What the F***"--a remark heard by several customers in nearby lines. This was both unprofessional and unnecessary. He then insisted the online price was inaccurate and attempted to charge an incorrect amount ($31.99!!), even after I showed the product information. I ultimately ordered the items for in-store pickup at the correct price, but the situation could have been resolved quickly and respectfully in the moment. I've included a photo with the serial number so this can be reviewed by leadership and handled more appropriately going forward. The rest of the staff was excellent; the issue was solely with the manager's conduct. I hope future visits to this location reflect the professionalism Ace is known for.

I love this place specifically for the friendly faces who are always willing to help and actually know stuff. The Ace Rewards program and app are also great. When I'm not flying by the seat of my pants on DIY projects, I earn airline miles through the AA Shopping site when I order ahead online for pickup. Being in the mountains, things can get pricey, but I appreciate the fairly reasonable prices on the necessities here.

Title: Unfair Treatment & Community Disappointment at Kings Beach Ace…read more I've been shopping at this Ace Hardware for 6-7 years as a loyal customer. Unfortunately, my experience recently has been nothing short of disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly, humiliating. It began when I returned an item (a Dewalt angle grinder) and was told I couldn't receive my refund in cash because it was over $100. I was told to wait for a check. When I waited to speak to the assistant manager at the back of the store, he informed me we needed to speak with the store manager Shera -- who also happens to be his wife -- about an unspecified issue. Shera had previously made me extremely uncomfortable years ago when she followed me closely around the store while she was still just an employee. It was so unsettling that I had to report it to the store manager at the time. That issue was supposedly resolved. I believe her behavior may have stemmed from an unrelated misunderstanding that occurred over six years ago--long before Shera was even working there. I personally resolved that misunderstanding with the store owner, and we left things on good terms. However, once Shera became the new manager and appointed her husband as assistant manager, the situation shifted. It feels as though old, irrelevant history was used against me, and their personal feelings began interfering with my ability to shop at my local hardware store. I was then told by the assistant manager that I had been watched on camera by him the entire time I was shopping and he believed I was behaving "suspiciously" -- stating things like me picking up an item and putting it down in a different aisle/ location and looking at my phone while shopping. Apparently, those things were "weird" he said followed by me no longer being welcome or allowed to shop at their establishment moving forward. It was apparent, based on personal feelings, they had been trying to find any reason to remove me And were tired of waiting. A employee even once pulled me aside and admitted that every time I entered, staff talked about me over their radios making negative comments and taking turns watching me as I shopped. Now, I have to drive 20+ minutes to another store, and in a small town like Kings Beach, this kind of treatment -- especially with word getting around -- is extremely damaging and embarrassing.

As someone who lives locally I despise going to this store. Since the new owners took over you…read morecan't rent equipment here, they lack a lot of items and just have a ton of Knick- knacks, the customer service is terrible- the staff is a bunch of young incompetent kids, and the manager Shara is so rude, disrespectful, unwelcoming and unprofessional. I'm surprised she hasn't gotten fired for her bad attitude. Trying to do a return, find something they don't have or any issues you basically have she turns on you. I've seen her yell at staff and I literally dread going in there. MoMo is the only one I like dealing with. They also send me coupons in the mail and every time I try to use them they either say it doesn't apply or they don't have the item and won't offer a replacement of similar value. Why send coupons then?! Their prices are also very high. I also don't trust them to mix my paint as I've had them mess up before on it and then won't let me return it even when it's not open. Would not recommend Benjamin Moore. It has not been able to cover existing paint even after multiple coats of primer. Do yourself and favor and go to Sherwin Williams in Truckee and Ace in Incline.

I purchased the faucet that would be delivered the next day. the next day they did deliver. However, when the plumber saw the faucet was the wrong finish, and had been previously installed somewhere, and was missing parts. And, on the plumbers list was a basket drain...the technician at Western told me I didn't need a new one. The plumber is mad at me, and the basket drain I had is now leaking, and I do not drive or have a car to go get one. I have been literally screwed to the wall by this plumber and Western. Still no usable sink. And, looking at a cost of over $2,000 to install a $200 moen faucet. just a small sampling of what's really happening. Oh, and if you have the Toto dual flush toilets, there are no parts available...you have to replace the toilet...according to Roto Rooter and my own research.

The guy next to him said i may be able to get them down the street. So i left never to return even if they were giving away free parts. I went to the place the guy sent me and the folks there were so kind and told me that when Mike gets in he'll be able to take care of it or i could go right down the street where they get their parts and western could take care of me. I told her not in a million years. That "Nate" guy is a real P.O.S. And has a bad attitude. I thanked her and said i want to try some other places and if i cant find what i need I'll come back. Went to Leslie's pool supply. They once again didn't have all the parts and suggested i go to western, and again i told them what happened and how "Nate" was such a P.O.S. to me so, all 3 of the very nice and kind employees there tried to help me find the pvc fittings i needed to fix my issue and showed me where i could get them on line since they couldn't help me with the pieces. I never sop online, i prefer to go to local places but in this instance, happy to give my business to anyone other than this place.
