I am reviewing the Hectors on French because that's the one I go to most often but this review…read moreapplies to all the Hector's I have been in which are most in the area. Hector's has been my "go to" store for everything I need to fix something for 25 years if I am serious about getting what I need quickly and as efficiently as possible. They pack an enormous amount of useful items in comparatively smaller stores than Home Depot, Lowes or even Valu but you don't feel you are in "cluttered" stores. Everything is kept organized so you can find things quickly. They hire people that know exactly what you need and if they don't they are not afraid to ask the senior staffer. I have never left a store without either the exact item or items I need to complete the task or the knowledge to go exactly where I need to for whatever I am searching for that day. I do still visit the big chains for sale items on occasion but I feel when I go into those stores there is sensory overload with all the items and sheer size of the that I many times forget what I went there for in the first place!! The other thing that drives me to madness is the inability to find somebody to ask a question in the area I am looking. Sure I can find somebody for a question I have about some electrical project but I usually have to walk to the other side of the store before I find somebody and then that guy has to put a call out on the radio to the people who can handle electrical and maybe just maybe I will get an associate in the electrical area in 10-20 minutes. Go to Hectors for anything you need and I am sure you will walk out a happy camper in a fraction of the time it would of taken you with other places.

They took the time to figure it out with me and when I got home, it was perfect. My wife goes in for things we need too and they always deliver. To the low rating of this establishment: I think you should give them another try.

I was told that I must be a rewards member to get a discount. after getting home I researched Ace Hardware policy and found: Discounts for Active Duty Service Members and Veterans' Discounts Ace offers discounts to both current servicemen and women and veterans - present your valid ID at checkout. While the exact amount varies by location, some stores give up to 10% off. Needless to say, Manny has lost my business.

Definitely one of my fave hardware stores in Buffalo and one which I will keep coming back to, because their prices are good and service is lovely, and they're just good people overall. In many regards it's one of the best ones I've been to. There are lots of locations around Buffalo, but this is one of my favourites. Located right on Clinton in the heart of Kaisertown.

The service here is always willing to help or answer any questions they can if you're looking for something in particular or need advice on a project. They have a good selection of things. Sometimes I still need to go to a bigger store like Lowes afterwards but they have the basics here for the most part. This is that small hometown feel of a hardware store that I'm used to and I love the local feel of this place.
