Cahaba Heights Hardware is a great store with a surprising variety of products and a good price. The staff is very helpful!!!

Friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. Great neighborhood resource without the trappings of a big box store. Inventory is what you would expect from a hardware store--no appliances or plants--but they do have landscape supplies. read more

You need something, you are NOT great with your hands. You HATE going in the Big Box Stores simply to get frustrated at never finding what you want or anyone to help you. GREAT NEWS, Cahaba Heights Hardware Store has the answer. This place has more then a great selection, they have actual people that know what they are talking about. I needed screws and nuts. In less then a minute, I was paying. I called for an appliance moving strap. I was told they did not have it however they saw one in Lowes. NOW that is customer service. When I go in to Cahaba Heights Hardware Store I always find something else I either need or was looking for. I want to go back to these kinds of businesses. I miss being treated like an honored guest. Thank you to the ownership and team members for giving back personalized interaction to the hardware business. Bravo read more

Do they have the selection of a big box store? No. Do they have the space of aforementioned type of store? No. Do they know how to answer questions, make sure their inventory is organized and know where to find anything that they do have in stock. YES! That is why I love coming here. Don't get me wrong, I love saving money. But when I can get this type of customer service and support a local business, I am 100% happy to do it. I am a little selective when I go here if I am looking for big ticket items. But to be honest, they have yet to let me down. Heck, they even had the mailbox stand we were hoping for when the big box stores only had plastic and vinyl options. Unlike some other local hardware stores, they are friendly and genuinely want to help. They have a great selection and the prices aren't too bad. The location is EXTREMELY convenient. Especially since we moved. I look forward to years of coming to visit them when I have my weekend projects. Even if you aren't close, these are good folks that will treat you right. read more

I love this place. In my whole life, I've never left the store without what I needed.

These guys are the best. such a better experience than the big box stores as they are there to answer any questions and point you in the right direction. read more

Every neighborhood needs a hardware store like this. They know what they are talking about and are always willing to help. They always have what I need and if I can't find it they know exactly where it is. I love supporting local businesses and this is a an awesome long standing local business. read more

This is the kind of place every single town needs! Perfect service and great prices! They take the time to find that one random screw you need to fix that 25 year old lamp you got from your great aunt. We showed up 5 mins after they closed and they held the door open for us... We declined since we know we will be back! Friendly local service! Dear Home Depot... I'm never coming back! read more

After trashing Five Points Hardware, I felt I needed to send some props to these guys. It looks small, but they always have what I need in stock. Even better, these guys know their stuff. Ask them a question and they'll give you a really good answer, which really helps when you're a little challenged as a handyman. read more

Very helpful, helped me find the right screws and even installed for me. Great people

This is the kind of hardware store I went to with my Dad on Saturday mornings as a kid. Seems like he often needed a handful of nails, a plumbing valve, or some other thingamajig for his Saturday projects, and I loved to go with him! We had a local hardware store in our town in those days, but it has long been supplanted by the "big box" stores. Don't get me wrong..., I shop in the big boxes a lot. But here's the difference: If I'm shopping for major appliances, replacing a vanity, or buying lumber, it's better to drive to the big box. But even if I need a small or special item, I can't go to a big box without spending at least an hour, usually two. Not only is it time-consuming to find what I need, there's always something shiny in my path to distract me from my mission, and I can't look away for a while. So, if I am in need of one or two specific items to make a home repair, it is so much quicker to make a run to Cahaba Heights Hardware. When I walk in the store, there are usually 3 employees standing at the front, and any one if them can lead you to any item in that store. Not only do they know where everything is, but they also know how to use it. Got a question about how to solve a problem around your house? They can usually tell you or make a recommendation of which pro to call. And I'm always surprised at just how much stuff they can inventory in that tiny little store. And do you know what else? Their prices are so close to the big boxes, when I also factor in the hour or so I save here, I think it's actually cheaper than driving out to the big box. I'll probably be there again Saturday morning! read more

I find this store to be overpriced, with rude employees. I recently returned an item, with a receipt, the day after buying it, and he gave me back less than I paid for it, without looking up or any explanation. Rude, careless, a mistake, whatever. Go elsewhere. read more

When you go to the hardware store for a couple items, and you're thinking: If I could just find somebody to point me to the thing I'm looking for, I can take it from there...then you wander around, look high and low...never see a soul...well that's not Cahaba Heights Hardware. Man, walk in the door almost anytime, and you've got help. They'll take you to what you're looking for, give you choices, and/or help figuring it out. I honestly don't think you can put a price on that kind of service; but if getting what you want/need the first time through is important, at a good price, skip the big boxes and check this place out. read more

Customer service as it should be. Buy the wrong size etc. no problem. So glad they are near me.

I have shopped here over 30 years and its rare they do not have what I need. their prices are slightly higher than big box stores but the drive down 280 is not worth saving $2. They are very helpful finding things in the store. Its amazing to me how much stuff they have in such a small building. For yard work, if you need mulch,sand,dirt,or similar things they are the best place to go and cheaper than the big box stores who only sell this in bags. They deliver all these things at a reasonable price to your home. They are helpful in finding subcontractors for electrical or plumbing and such as they know these people and deal with them daily. If you need some nails, screws, odds n ends for repairs around the house, this place is great. They have about every size you can imagine. I called them today for help in finding a landscape person who is good and they gave me two people and phone numbers. read more

After hearing many good things about the store, I was disappointed by their curt dismissal of me when they didn't have the item I was seeking. The gentleman gave me a very prompt four word response "We don't have it" then turned his attention to the next customer. Under no circumstance would I ever return, they must not need any new customers. read more
