I wanted some Benjamin Moore paint and I didn't want to go to the local TrueValue because they tend to be overpriced and I like supporting local businesses. I was really impressed with how knowledgeable, honest and attentive the staff was. One of the guys helped me pick out some samples and steered me towards a more affordable sample option since I was getting so many colors! He certainly didn't have to do that, but I was so thrilled that he was so honest about saving a few bucks. I will absolutely be back to Kirshon for more paint and painting advice. If you can get there, I would recommend it over one of the major chains.

Fantastic customer service and wide stock selection. As a Scottish guy, over in Boston for the…read moreWorld Cup, I needed an alternative to a sporran belt for my kilt. Counter staff helped direct me downstairs. The guy (Carrie?) was super helpful, and cut a light chain to size and attached a magnetic two sided key ring to hold together. He was great, particularly as I had lost my voice and it was clearly an unusual request. All for less than $10, they quickly saved the day, allowing the kilt to make its way to Gilette Stadium and Fenway Park. Thank you all

Another winter, another shovel…read more I showed up here last Tuesday (you know, the day it snowed a lot before it rained and froze and all those roofs fell in?) in the hopes that they would save my ass with their shovel supply again. They did. It wasn't my first choice in shovels, but it was the LAST DAMN ONE. I got it at a discount too, why? I'm not sure. But I was GRATEFUL AS HELL. These guys are always nice to me, and always have what I want.

I go here probably on a weekly basis, and they have 80% of what I need - and sometimes I need some odd stuff.

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.

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.
