However, I go in primarily for cleaning supplies and dog supplies. They have a nice (though limited) selection of cleaning supplies, including paper products, various cleaning chemicals, laundry products, soaps, and things like Swiffers, dish towels, etc. I find it very convenient to come here for cleaning supplies rather than going to the grocery store - especially convenient if you have a car since they have free parking. I also love that they are dog friendly. My pup loves going shopping with me, and loves to follow the paw prints on the floor from the front door to the pet section. They have a selection of dog foods, treats, collars/leashes, and toys. While I've never really paid attention, I think they have things for other types of animals too. The employees also love dogs - one of the men who works there gets excited to give my pup a treat when we check out.

Any time I need an item for around the house, this location is always my go-to. I work on the north side of Chicago near a few hardwares stores but I went out of my way just to stop by here.

I know ACE as a well known hardware store that has been around for forever. Most of their stores are intimate and packed full of items that are necessary for your hardware projects.

Because the stores are small, they don't have a ton of variety in product but they make up for it with consistent customer service.

After receiving the full payment amount, he requested two additional payments for portions of the same project for which he claimed he "forgot" to charge for in his original/undetailed quote. Again, payments were issued to them even though my post payments cost comparison with other similar vendors indicated Southtown Interiors substantially overcharged me. A month later, he delivered wallcovering material and attempted to install some but the quality of the install was so bad, we had him and his installer stop work. He blamed the wallcovering material as defective and has since indicated he filed a claim with the wallcovering manufacturer for material replacement. Since then, no further work has been completed by Southtown Interiors in spite of my repeated inquiries over the past couple of months that only result in new new excuses for endless delays in issuing appropriate refunds as requested, delivering/installing window treatments, etc. In summary, Southtown Interiors took my money and I received almost nothing in return aside from a multi-months long runaround so now I am intending to file a lawsuit against them to get my money back.

Cannot recommend this store (and Carlos) in particular enough…read more The store: clean, organized, and everything you could need for almost any painting project. Service: I've worked with Carlos on a couple projects. I usually spend some time researching beforehand, but the knowledge and recommendations provided in store have been extremely helpful. Carlos took his time talking through options and explaining the best recommendation based on my project needs. Can't express enough how refreshing it is to find high quality and friendly service in a home improvement type store. Could you go to Home Depot or a big box for paint? Sure, but there is no replacement for great service and walking away from the store feeling confident with your project. Highly highly recommend.
