Quick to show you exactly where items are you need.. electrical, bird feed, lights, tools, household...even the exact screw thread or nut (and there are thousands!) if you bring in a sample. Super patient with helping me restore my MG's missing bolts to my radiator etc. Also, yes, a shovel handle broke and they replaced my item without question. Angel and boys/men are top notch. The paint department too!!

I finally was able to locate the product I needed but it was a short distance away around 30 minutes. I have not been to this town since the 1990's. Well, I got lost; my car has a 2010 GPS, it was dusk, almost no street lighting and unless you live in New England, the roads along the coastal towns are based on the old cow paths. The store was closed when I got there, I did leave a voice mail to let them know I would come in the morning but would call to see if they still had it because it was their last one. I deciuded to drive home and a few minutes later, I got a phone call from the store, saying they would wait for me and to call if I got lost again. I did ,but was only yards away. I always prefer to go to a small family owned business; it has been my experience that they take a personal interest and try the best to help you find the right products and go that extra mile. I am so grateful, because not only was the product unavailable my hometown Ace Hardware, Walmart, Home Depot or Lowes and even on Amazon. Now I now what I need it and will install tomorrow, just in time for winter to return!!

This store is a throwback to the old neighborhood hardware store. They greet you and guide you and…read morelocate the thing you are looking for. No wandering trying to find them Yourself. Furthermore the man (or lady ) if asked, will advise you as to the use of the item you are buying, what item may be better to use and how best to use it. they are also ready and willing to share their expertise in all hardware matters. An Ace memberships lowers the price. An all-around win, win situation.

The main reason why I use Tags is their location in Porter Square. I find that the staff are…read morefriendly and try to be helpful. However, the pricing is extremely high compared to some other big box stores or ACE hardware locations outside of the city. I highly recommend using their order online for in store pickup for the best pricing since the store will follow the online pricing vs the shelf sticker price. Online orders come with a paper bag that has a handle which makes it nice and easy to carry out. There are two floors to the store, with the majority of home improvement things being on the lower level.

They're friendly but not helpful--in fact, "incompetent" is the word I'd use. Here's what happened…read moreon my last two visits to Tags: I brought in a screen door to be rescreened. It took two weeks, and the screen fell off the moment I reinstalled it. I also had a key copied. It didn't work. I ended up taking both the door and key to Inman Hardware. They fixed the screen and made a key that actually worked. Buy stuff at Tags if you want, but don't count on them for even basic jobs.

This is a very nice hardware store, my mom always found them helpful too, but I don't get here…read moreoften because it's on the other end of town and I have the other town hard ware store right down the street. But I had some errands nearby and took a walk over. Staff were very nice, I asked two/2 different people for help and they brought me over to where I need to look. No pressure, cashier was fast and friendly. Nice variety of merchandise. They are located at a busy intersection, and there is a town parking lot across the street and over a bit, but it's for all the merchants and fills up because of all the nearby restaurants. There is probably some side street parking but to note, some of the streets are quite narrow. #shoplocal #shopindie

I know what you are thinking... that' "I am not you, and you are not me and will go to this store and win them over", no, no you will not. Or maybe you are thinking you don't need help that you will be able to navigate the store without help. You may find what you need, but you still have to check out! And if it wasn't clear while you were shopping that no one cares if you shop there or not, it will be when you check out. I mean it's their last chance to ignore you and have a conversation with someone else. For the reviewer who said that this is really a contractor/professional lumber yard, with a hardware store attached. Yes, yes they are. They are also an Ace Hardware store. Do you remember the ace hardware store jingle? Ace is the place for the helpful hardware man
