Ace Hardware Pāhoa is an absolute treasure for our town. Living in Puna, having Ace Hardware right here in Pāhoa is nothing short of a blessing. Anyone who lives out here knows how big of a deal it is to not have to drive all the way to Hilo for every little tool, bolt, fitting, or household fix. The convenience alone saves hours of time, gas, and stress but what really makes this place special is the people. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly, knowledgeable, genuinely helpful staff who actually care about helping you solve problems not just pointing you to an aisle and disappearing. Whether you're working on a small home repair, a major project, gardening, plumbing, electrical, or just need advice, someone is always willing to stop what they're doing and help you figure it out. This store feels like what a local hardware store is supposed to feel like community-centered, welcoming, and reliable. You can tell the staff takes pride in serving Pāhoa and the surrounding Puna area. They remember faces, they listen, and they treat everyone with respect from seasoned contractors to first-time DIY folks. The selection is impressive for a small-town store, and they're constantly stocking what people actually need out here. If they don't have something, they'll help you find the closest alternative or order it. That kind of service is rare these days. Honestly, Ace Hardware Pāhoa isn't just a store it's part of the infrastructure that makes living in Puna workable and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful to have it in our town. It supports local life, keeps projects moving, and helps us take care of our homes and ʻāina without unnecessary trips across the island. Mahalo to the entire Ace Hardware Pāhoa team for being dependable, kind, and consistently excellent. Pāhoa is better because you're here. Mahalo KAPONO JIM read more

This is a great place for all your garden needs and home repairs and bbqing stuff. I like this place. They are friendly and show you where things are located. The parking is easy and it's a big place. Lots to look at. I think it's clean and organized. It's a busy place. I recommend coming here, it's definitely my first choice and a good alternative than the regular home improvement stores. read more

Great place to go if you don't want to drive all the way into town. Good selection also can refill your propane tanks. Pricing is a little higher but not too bad. Staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

as of today still no concrete although it was promised by the 19 of October. it's fully paid. I went to store several times and spoke with manager. the concrete was delivered to wrong store. but the shipment has not been corrected. the manager says there's nothing he can do. itll get here eventually. well my contractor is waiting! I trusted this business to hold up their end of our contract. ACE Pahoa I'm extremely dissatisfied with your service. I would never tell a customer there's nothing to be done. As a manager I would have done my best to insure a quality interaction. go elsewhere if you want professionalism. read more

Every time I go in at this Pahoa store, they have no dry animal food!!! Waste of time. Great news they can ship it to the store in about 3 weeks. Avoid if possible. read more

December 24th and I needed a plumping part to fix my water. The older fellow John helped me find what I needed and was extremely cheerful. Thanks to the whole ace team for making my Christmas even just that much better.​ read more

Best Ace Hardware I have been to yet (and I've been to almost every Ace in the islands.) The managers there are super friendly and helped me so much with what I needed. Kent was especially helpful with helping me pick out what I needed to buy. All of the employees are really knowledgeable when it comes to the products in the store. Staff was also very prompt when it comes to people coming into the store with improper face masks; which lets me know they care about their customers. read more

Both me and my boyfriend got yelled at here by the clerk. Then after we paid, they refused to give us a receipt. My boyfriend saw it on his phone that his card was charged. He had to threaten the clerk with calling the police to get his money back. Unprofessional, disgusting store. read more

Only open until 5:00 PM? I needed a few things to finish a project I had worked on all afternoon. I would have liked to finish today, now will have continue on Saturday. read more

I'd give them no stars after today's deal, I get there to get propane at 5:57 he tells me he's closed already... as he's filling up a tank, bet if I had ass and titties he would have filled my 5 gallon tank.... read more

Great costumer service! I appreciate all the help over the phone and in person by Kelena. Thank you for even coming out in to the rain to make sure the part I needed worked on the truck. Mahalo! read more

Really helpful staff ! Love the organization of the store, easy to find what I need, great gardening department. They have a cute dog department in the back too. It's clean, and I like the fact that things that logically go together are actually together.. (does that make sense?) good selection of things, prices are decent too. I like to cruise Ace Hardware ... but don't tell anyone .. :) read more

There are no "big box" hardware/home remodeling stores in our little town of Pahoa, but the folks at Ace stock an amazing variety of stuff in this small store. Friendly staff and always helpful. I've been in a pinch many, many times, like when I've needed a special pipe fitting or a metric bolt for a broken tractor and they've always come through. My only request: extend your hours into the evening. read more
