Great store, great selection, wonderful employees. This little gem of a hardware store is stocked…read morewith many useful items. We've had quite a bit of storms, and very icy condition. No rock salt/ice melt around EXCEPT this very thoughtful place had an employee pick up 3 pallets from their other location (not close.) I stopped counting at 65 people in line (not including the 12+ people who bought plain rock salt.) Employees were very hard working, courteous and I cannot say enough about this place. Prices are excellent.

"The Queen of Hearts has shown her face She wants you to…read morebelieve You were never meant to have Aces up your sleeve" (John Hiatt) Super neat and heavily stocked with pretty much anything you'd find in a big box building supply store. Painting, lawn and garden, hardware, tools, grills and barbecue, electrical, and plumbing supplies are all very well represented on their shelves. Parking is never an issue at Ace because it's located in the very spacious Canton Village Plaza. So, if you ever need a can of spray paint, garden hose, specialty light bulbs, barbecue sauce or wood chips for your smoker, you'll definitely find it at Ace. Like the old jingle said, "Ace is the Place".

This is a well stocked and organized store located in the Canton Village Plaza. There were plenty…read moreof parking in front of the building. They had grills and outdoor patio furniture on their lawn since it's the spring season. When we walked in, we were immediately asked if we needed help with finding something. We were looking for exterior paint and the employee walked over and showed us the types of paint they had and was very informative. The prices were a little more than the big box stores but it is family owned, local, and has everything we needed for home repairs/upgrades. They have two locations, Canton and West Hartford. They offer paint recycling. If they don't have the product in stock, they will order it for you since they are affiliated with the Ace Hardware warehouse; the warehouse carries over 80,000 items. They offer many services in-house such as key cutting and propane fills. When you join the Ace Rewards, you can earn rewards with every purchase. Overall, a great asset for the community.

Yes, for the reasons I previously mentioned, this is a very nice place to do business with. But I…read morejust found another reason to love them -their lawnmower repair business. Last weekend I was mowing the lawn, stopped to empty the bag, and tried to re-start it. And tried. And tried. No luck. It just cursed me out with a few nasty back-fires, sputtered and stalled. I brought it here and it was fixed, tuned up, and ready to go in less than 24 hours.They repaired a damaged pipe on the carburetor, replaced the spark plug and a filter, added a quart of oil, cleaned the deck, and replaced the blade. It runs like a racehorse and seems as good as when I fired it up for the frst time seven yeas ago. The cost? Just $98. I couldn't have been happier with the results.

One big, open floor organized by type. Bathroom items together, chairs/lamps/coffee tables near each other and so on. There were some brand new, never used, 30" bathroom vanities with marble tops, two larger vanity tops only - also marble, a couple of medicine cabinets, lots of doors both inside and out, attic vents for the exterior, tiles, so many chairs from waiting room to living room. Beds, electric stoves, carpet squares, office chairs, lots of lovely curio cabinets, desks, some artwork, mirrors, and plenty of lamps, some books, and a little bit of kitchen ware. Remember to look up! There are a lot of ceiling lights suspended from pipes running overhead. The prices here are excellent. I'm a big advocate of reduce, reuse, recycle and this is a good location to find household items, some used, some new and your purchase supports the Habitat for Humanity mission. Win-win!

UPDATE: Shout out to Store Manager (Mario) for working with me to resolve this situation…read more Good to know some people still have a heart and can apply logic despite "policy". Thanks again! ---- Original Post---- As a homeowner, my husband and I have shopped in both Lowe's and Home Depot for over 20 years. We have spent an extraordinary amount of money in both of these stores. We rarely need to make returns, but we just had a recent instance of having to return 5 bags of polymeric sand because we decided to have the job done by a contractor. I saved the receipt and my husband went to the store to return the sand. It was a VERY UNPLEASANT experience to learn that there is a 90 day window on returns (with receipt) and NO EXCEPTIONS ARE GRANTED FOR A RESELLABLE ITEM such as polymeric sand! Needless to say, we have made our LAST purchase at Lowes and I will be sharing this VERY NEGATIVE experience EVERYWHERE I can.
