So happy to have this awesome hardware store right in my neighborhood- I go here very often! Being a new home owner and a woman I always need help finding odd parts and they always have what I need and are super helpful in explaining and answering my thousand questions. They also have great home decor and outdoor furniture. Only once have I had to go down to one of the big box hardware stores because Ace normally has everything I need and they are much more helpful :) They also always welcome my dogs in the store which is nice! read more

At a time when Big Box Hardware Stores and Amazon seem to absorb so much of the volume in this retail category, you have to admire and be grateful for the locally owned Ace Hardware Stores and the extraordinarily competent and pleasant people they employ. Today, for example, I had the good fortune of being served by Katie at the Bill's Ace Hardware on Clayton Road in Concord. Katie's positive attitude, creativity, and seemingly unlimited knowledge on how to fix the most obscure equipment problems imaginable held me in amazement. You won't find people like Katie at Big Box Stores. People like her, able and willing to help you even when the cost of the parts involved is modest, are few and far between in this day and age. (How they attract and retain people like Katie is another story in itself that's worth pursuing.) I was so grateful for her assistance, I bought a cordless power drill I really didn't need, just to show my appreciation. Next time you need some advice on fixing something, make sure you ask for Katie! read more

I have come here so many times in my life and of course my mom and I come in (kind of in a rush) and we needed help looking for our items. We ran into Gabe who directed us to each isle for the 5 different items we needed. He truly made our experience at Ace a good one! Also as we were checking out he came by to ask if we were able to find what we needed. Our pleasant customer experience came full circle! Amazing! read more

Bill's Ace Hardware on Clayton Road rocks!! One again, the staff provided amazing service. I needed a replacement tire for my wheelbarrow and the axle on my rim did not fit any of the premounted tires. The salesperson found someone who had experience in this area. He helped me select the proper tube, offered great advice, popped one side of the tire off the rim, greased the axle and provided me with a few paint stirring sticks! I went home, used the advice to complete the task and my wheelbarrow tire now holds air. I now have a working wheelbarrow after struggling with it for one year. Ace Hardware is the best!! read more

This place is money. Not usually crowded. Helpful nice employees.

I love my local ace. Always helpful. Friendly and I feel at home there! Louie rocks in the paint department.

I wish I could give them a 10 star rating! From the time I entered the front door I felt like I was an important person, even though all I needed was a key made. Gerard was not only a great help, but a friendly and knowledgeable employee. If the employees are a reflection of the management then management is definitely doing something right because everyone was a step ahead of any one I have dealt with previously at other stores. Your store rocks and I will always come back here for all my hardware needs. I felt like I had friends that cared not just another faceless customer. Thanks Bill's Ace Hardware I needed that! read more

Katie P. helped me with my keys, find the perfect screws, nuts, and washers I needed, and finally set me up with the right air fitting I needed. Thanks Katie!! read more

Best Hardware Store around. Close as you can get to the old mom and pop place when I was a kid. I've been going to ace for over 30+ years and they never fail to provide expert and courteous service from all the employees. Store is well supplied with all your home care needs. I must single out one employee. John has been waiting on me all those years and he's the best. It shows the owners know how to treat their employees as well. read more

I have been going to Bill's Ace Hardware for years. The help at this store is always so friendly. If I ever need any help with a project or problem I can always get the answers I need. "John" is my "go to" person he has the answers to everything I ever need to know. I believe he has been there the longest. Although every sales person at this store either has the answers or will get the answers for me. The last time I was in I met a fairly new person named "Marta" and she was so friendly and helpful along with "Monica" who has been at the store for quite a while and checked me out. They were both great. It is always a pleasure to go to this store. read more

Great store. My heat gun stopped working, and they replaced it without question, since it had the Ace warranty on the box. Cashier was polite and very fast. Excellent customer service will keep me coming back. BTW, I bought my heat gun over a year ago... read more

I bought plumber's putty Ace brand. On the front of the container it states " Satisfaction Guaranteed Ace Promise". It says on the back Ace Putty NEVER cracks harden flakes crumbles or shrinks. I kept the container on a shelf in the garage. and after a few months it did all of the above. I took the $5.00 product to get an exchange. The girl at the register asked for my receipt I explain I dont have one but it says it's an Ace product and pointed out Ace promise and satisfaction guaranteed and what it said on the back. She refused to exchange it or honor Ace's guaranteed. But pointed out the crack shrink hardening and flakes were some how my fault. and I could still use what was at the bottom of the container. She refused to honor Ace's "Promise Satisfaction Guaranteed". For $5.00 I didn't want to argue and ruin my day. Went to Orchard supply spent $100.00 on plumbing supply's at Orchard Supply. Bill's Ace lost a $100.00 to save $5.00. read more

As soon as I walked in I was greeted by both the cashier and the guys selling the children's hospital buckets, Gabe was especially helpful, he told me all about the 20% off promotion and even walked around with me and helped me find everything I needed and more. He was very knowledgeable about all the products and gave great suggestions. He definitely went above and beyond my expectations. read more

Really happy with the customer service I received here. I needed to work on a project and Louie from the paint department was an expert and very helpful! He gave me good tips and even helped me to save money. I will definitely be back here for all my needs! read more

Great employees - always, always taking the time to help me find stuff and teach me how to use it at home. Great for people who like to Do It Yourself projects. read more

This is the best of the best hardware store@ around...they have always gone above and beyond!!! Definitely you can never ever go wrong shopping there!!!! read more

VERY disappointed in the customer service at this location. Was told they have professionals that know how to assemble BBQ grills. This is false. They do not know how to properly assemble a basic BBQ grill. Better off doing it yourself. Management needs to improve their ability to provide true value in their work. Don't make the mistake of buying a grill from here, go elsewhere. read more

Katie assisted me today to find PVC to hook up my sprinklers. Excellent assistance. It took only 5 minutes to get the right stuff. Many thanks read more

No place is cheaper if you have to drive further and waste time looking for stuff. Really helpful people here. Katie seems to know every book and cranny in the store. You won't be there long before someone asks if they can help. read more

I absolutely love this Ace Hardware store! It is jam packed with everything you need from a hardware store. It has tons of great home decorations and is great for every holiday season. It is an "easy in - easy out" store. Not like the big box hardware stores in town! And of course, you can always get assistance from the "helpful hardware man" ... I am so glad that this hardware store is still in town!! read more

This place has a plethora of stuff. It is amazing the selection here. I bought a huge rat trap that eradicated the rats coming in from my neighbors yard. The customer service is second to none. Always someone who knows everything in the store is willing to take you right to what you need. Awesome. I will never go to home depot again. read more

A customer who recently reviewed this store sent me a message about my earlier review, indicating that people "need more context", specifically, asking what I was wearing the day that the Ace worker made inappropriate comments and checked out my butt when I stooped down to get an item (suggesting I may have been dressed provocatively). Well, for those who need to know, I was wearing loose-fitting jeans, flats and a sweater that day (I had friends visiting, so I have pics of myself after the store visit). So, no...was not drawing attention to myself. On weekends, I don't even wear make-up. While I'm 'here', I'm afraid I can't give them a better rating since my previous review. I tend to go to Osh now, which is closer to my house. The selection is not as good there as Ace, but I still have had mixed feelings about the service at Ace since my first review. read more

I usually don't review store but this store affected me so much that I want people know about it. Not just one time but three time I was disappointed in this store. There is absolutely no help in the store, the employee hides between rows and when you approach them they look at you like they do not want to be bothered and went you ask they makes you feel bad in a certain way and regret asking them. The employee are ALL old people they must know about customer service but no they ignore you. One time I asked a lady to make a cut for me I wanted 6ft long of the item and she said with out stop walking away from, no we have them in 5ft long in boxes until another female employee came and did the cut for me. Another time I asked I was looking for an item and asked an employee for an item that was hard to find in the shelves and he was trying to avoid the row I was in, funny and sad, until I saw the item and he goes hey you find it and happy to don't have to look for it like he wasn't interested in helping customer. At all time you get into that store the employee look like they are busy doing nothing and avoiding customers in between the rows. The third time I was there in need of paint, the lady who does it was busy talking to her college about the Halloween costumes and laughing leaving two customers waiting for help on the paint and went I went and called her she finally come to help me I was asked to come back in a bit until they mix the paint. after a while I returned to the paint area, the lady and another man where mixing the paint and redoing it again and again because they did mistakes and the man talking to the lady in a rude way he didn't listen to her and he did the mistake. After a while I saw my paint ready and waiting on the counter for more than 10 mn I asked the man for my paint and he said I am busy as you can see and I told him my paint is ready just hand it to me, you know what he said? get it yourself ! at that moment I was pissed off and told the lady why he is so rude and the man reply to me is there a problem and at that moment I got really mad... did I said disappointed three times? well I was wrong a forth time I went there to return a product that I needed 10 of them and bought some only because they were expensive, you know what I went that morning to home depot and found the same items three for the price of one at Bill's ace what a rip off !! I rushed to return them and guess what another problem again. the young girl who did the return call not just one time or two BUT four time for a manger approval and none answered her until she got pissed off her self and when answered the assistant or the manger didn't bother to come to the register they just authorized her over the phone and that was really weird thing I never saw before. In conclusion I will never go back to that store again and I will always discourage people to go their for their BAD customer service, no help at all and no courtesy or smile. read more

I needed lots of LED Christmas lights so decided on Ace Hardware, Concord after reviewing their website selection. Upon arrival, I noticed that the price listed online was lower than what it was tagged in the store. Puzzled, I checked the product #, same one. Hmmm. A very helpful clerk, Tex, checked out the website to make sure what was going on and assured me that they would honor the website price. He started to look for the number of boxes of lights i needed, but was called away and someone else, K.K. was sent over to help me. K.K.has helped me many times - she knows her stuff and is very good at what she does. I have to say that most of the people there really work at satisfying the customer. Anyway, K.K. was tasked with searching for many reels and boxes of lights for me that were tucked in various places in the store. Then because I had 2 carts of stuff, and only one of me, she took one cart out to my vehicle and helped me load. Such good service. thanks!!!! read more

I'm sorry but despite the fact that I came in wearing my dirty work clothes I did not come in to steal your $11 paint brush!!! In fact i flip houses for a living and probably make more per year than all of your employees combined. I am in your store once or twice a day spending a good deal of money, or at least i used to be. Today I feel like i was being treated like a common criminal having to be escorted to the cashier with a precious little $11 paint brush.......really? Do you think i need to steal a paint brush?.........have a little more respect. I have never stolen one thing in my life not even a piece of candy.............I will be doing my shopping elsewhere from now on. read more

This is my 2nd Home. I LOVE this store. The quality of service you get is bar none. I come in for work needs and personal needs. Claire and Katie are my "go to" Gals!! Anytime I come in I am treated like Ace Hardware family. I would rather come here any day over the big box stores. LOVE YOU GALS! read more

I went into Bill's Ace Hardware on Clayton Rd today out of dire necessity. My car keys slipped out of my pocket in the Food Maxx parking lot. As I watched them drop through the iron grate 4 feet into a disgusting pool of standing, dirty water I felt utter despair. At the suggestion of a stranger in the parking lot I went into Ace asking if anyone could help me. Mark immediately went out to the parking lot. My car was partially on top of the grate and being unable to move it, he was forced to get on his hands and knees to try to remove the grate. When he removed the grate and it fell into the hole he went back into the store for help. Thomas, the manager returned with Mark. Between the two of them they retrieved my keys and replaced the grate. Then they took me back into the store, opened my key fob, cleaned, dried and put it back together for me. This was service beyond my wildest dream, to a stranger who walked in off the street. Imagine the service their customers receive! I am an Ace Hardware customer and have always received excellent customer service. if I were not a customer already I would be now, based on my experience today. Plus, if they don't have it, you don't need it. I am so thankful for Mark and Thomas today. read more

Through the years we always go to your store ( Bill's Ace Hardware - Concord). All the people who work there seen quite nice. But we always go find John, because he has the experience and knowledge to understand our project(s), just what we need, and where to find the item or part we need. He is a great asset to your store. I thank you for a great store, and John for great customer service. Thank you, Jennifer and neil read more

When we saw the solar-powered fake owl, we had to have it to ward off the garden pests. But how to position it in the garden for maximum impact? Your sales associate Paul went to great lengths to find the optimum solution for situating the owl in the garden; the cheapest and yet most effective solution. We are grateful to him for taking the extra time to help us! read more

I love this location. It's a lot closer for me then a Lowes or HD and I can actually find someone to help me if I need it. I was in there yesterday and had at least 4 people ask if I needed help in a span of 10 minutes. Yes, you aren't getting dirt cheap prices, but that is because you are paying for the knowledge and help of their well trained staff. It's great if you are doing small projects around your house or need something a little unusual (glass chalk, small animal traps, etc). read more

They hire older people out on the floor to ensure great service with expert advice. The prices are a bit higher than home depot of course but the knowledge is worth it read more

Yay for Katie--she made two sets of car keys for me and then volunteered to accompany me to car--the keys worked on the doors and worked on the ignition. A Golden keeper employee for Concord Ace! read more

I want to add my vote for Bill's Ace Hardware as the hardware store of choice. EVERY TIME I have set foot in the store, someone comes up and asks me if I need help finding anything. I usually do, as most of us do when we enter a hardware store. I'm appreciative for the friendly faces and help. read more

I love this store! I go to Home Depot or Lowes when I need lumber, but for everything else I go here. There are always several people to help me. Even my husband, who would never ask for help, gets the help he needs because the employees come up to him. The employees have gotten me through many projects and have filled the gap left when Yardbirds closed. We really appreciate a store with old fashioned friendly service! read more

This is one of the last good hardware stores around here. They have a great selection of repair items that are becoming difficult to find at big box stores and fake hardware stores like OSH. Their real asset is their employees though, especially the older employees. They have an older gentleman, John, who works there- he is an absolute human encyclopedia of hardware knowledge. I've never been able to stump him, no matter how obscure the item/question. There's another guy, whose usually around plumbing (I think his name is Don), who's also very knowledgeable. Been going here for years to keep my house in good repair and plan to continue going here. read more

I went in on Memorial Day weekend. Everyone was very helpful. I purchased a patio umbrella and a very nice man helped me bring it to my car. Unfortunately I had to return it because it was to big. A young lady Jayme, helped me with my return. She was so nice and helpful. read more

Katie is amazing! She left what she was doing (on top of a ladder, mind you.) And she made a key for me. She showed me all the cool designer keys I could choose from. I chose, what else, The Warriors! Go Warriors! Go Katie! Go Ace Hardware! read more

I recently was in need of having my entire home's door lock, cylinders, re-keyed. Not a fun or desirable situation, whatsoever, and was due to someone having access to my home, and keys, due to my own, relatively minor, surgical event. Of course, I thought of Bill's Ace Hardware, first; as every key, for well over 20 years, always were cut to precision. Doing a major project, such as this, is not done, in one fell swoop, as you cannot remove all your locks/cylinders, at the same time, and leave your home, open and vulnerable. My process began with Tom, one of the Assistant Managers. Re-keying standard locks, is fairly simple, as most locks have "5 pins." I, on the other hand, had really nice locks, that are "6 pins." Tom did my "5 pin" locks, keyed alike, fairly easily, but did warn me, about the tougher, "6 pin" locks to come. On my next visit to Bill's Ace, my timing was impeccable, and I was assisted, by Katie, who teamed, with Logan, a young, and exceedingly impressive, Supervisor. Katie dug through piles of old keys, for quite some time, to locate, two old, and different, "6 pin" keys. She never gave up, and her determination to locate these two keys, saved me countless hours, and a potential, huge expense, to have to go to a locksmith. i am forever, in her debt, for her due diligence. Now, we come to Logan. This young Supervisor, worked so diligently on my cylinder re-keying. He was not satisfied until my new keys, were as smooth as silk, in the newly keyed cylinders. I am a huge fan of how things work, and Logan explained everything to me; showed me what ,and how, he was doing this complicated task, and was totally, one of the nicest and most professional persons, of his generation, that I have ever had the incredible luck, to come in contact with. Of course, I could only bring-in one front door lock, at a time. One being the deadbolt, and the other, the knob-handled lock. Logan advised me to return, anytime, later in the day, while he was on duty, and promptly, placed the other, necessary, old "6 pin" key, into his breast pocket, to use upon my return. Needless to say, I returned a few hours later, and both Katie and Logan assisted me once again. Their customer service skills were impeccable, and they don't quit on their customers. My, potentially, bad and very, very, costly problem could have been a nightmare, for me, however, I experienced none of that, with Logan, Katie, and Tom, and a special shout-out to Suzanne, who has assisted me, during past visits, to Bill's Ace Hardware. My gratitude and respect for their abilities, know no bounds. read more
