I've lived in this area for years and I would always walk by. Today I went in and as soon as I…read morewalked into the store, I was greeted which was nice. They keep it clean, and fully stocked. Everything was easy to find. I asked the worker at the counter a question and he was knowledgeable and also suggested a few other options for me. The prices compared to online stores (such as Amazon) seem fair! Any home improvement and home projects needs I will definitely buy from here in the near future.

Terrible company. I ordered tile for my bathroom project. It came damaged, broken and defective. It…read morewas also poor quality. I requested a refund. Faye was argumentative, not honest and bullied me through the process. In the end, they refused my full refund, charged me for shipping and restocking fees. So not only do they sell bad products, they are a terrible company. I'm reporting the company and escalating the claim hoping others aren't treated the same way!

We bought tiles for our kitchen and it was quick and easy. No complaints! For those with more time, there are a couple other tile shops in the area (e.g. Tiles by Kia) to explore before making a decision.

The guy working there basically said they don't carry any lumber supplies beyond "scraps" (whatever that means). Was not helpful at all and it seemed like he was forced to interact with us.

But OH... how we miss this hardware and the older owner's knowledge and wonderful help! I LOVE family owned older hardware stores . I love quality tools and secretly wished I had the training and experience to be able to use everything in renovation/ construction. Here, the owner has spent years learning what his community needs and he offers wonderful variety and choice in many hardware product areas. He is especially attentive hardworking gracious and accommodating -- service is outstanding. AND if he doesn't have it, he offers to try to find it! I really avoid Home Depot..... Lowes is not as bad, but these old fashioned neighborhood hardware stores may not be the least expensive alternative , but the friendship relationship hands on practical advice and wonderful help create an always pleasant experience. And, GREATLY add to a comfortable bond to one's neighborhood.
