For kids, wandering around Wilcon while parents shop for bathroom fixtures and other household…read moreneeds is super fun! Haha. It's a huge store, so there's all sorts of stuff to look at and keep boredom at bay, like giant shiny jacuzzis and model kitchen units. Now that I'm older, recently my dad asked me to come with him to help shop for pipes and stuff for the extension we're building for our house. He's getting older too, and needs an assistant. So on my last visit, I was able to appreciate how completely stocked Wilcon is. Tiles, bathroom stuff, kitchen stuff, garden tools, locks, even pet supplies, it's all under one roof. It's the ultimate in convenience among hardware stores.

The thing about building a house is that saving time is as important as buying the right materials,…read morechoosing the right contractor and having the right design. The more time you lose, the more money you spend. This is why it's important that you choose a hardware store that has everything in it. You don't want to run around and drive to so many places just because one doesn't have a specific pipe and vice versa. You're better off at settling in 1 store where you can keep your sanity intact and your gas tank right above low. So where is this hardware that promises to give these things? It's the Wilcon Depot at Filinvest City in Alabang. My brother-in-law swears by it, and believe me he is the most anal person when it comes to these things. I came here yesterday to help him buy locks and other things for his almost finished house and it took us a few minutes to find everything we need. I would have loved to walk around more because of the nice tile selection inside but we didn't have a lot of time. So, if you're building a home or perpetually fixing an old house (like me) AND you live in the South, come to this branch and make it your home base.

Trying to be a savvy yet cost-effective businesswoman often leads me to doing things on my own,…read moreeven things that would require men or professionals. One of these would be building my props. I have zero knowledge on carpentry etcetera, so imagine just how elated I was to find a lumber and construction supplies that was not just near, but also had pleasant and very helpful staff. I would often go there, initially to ask questions first, see my options from their display of items and options per item, ask more questions, then make my purchase. This may seem trivial or common, but anyone who has bought something from construction supplies stores or hardwares would know that the staff is usually too busy to even bother answering questions politely or properly, especially ridiculously odd questions from someone like me who doesn't know much about construction. They even let me go inside to check on some items that I am confused about, just so I don't make the wrong purchase. Even in purchasing wood, they allow customers to head to the back of the store to choose their preferred item, or like for wood, even allowing me to see and choose which plank or plywood I particularly like the color or grain of. It's those little things that really matter, to add to the reasonable and competitive rates they offer.

I've already been here a few times with my mom and let me tell you what I think of this place. They…read morehave everything that your house needs be it doors, door knobs, lights, fixtures, a little furniture, and some building materials, just name it. With that being said, I had the opportunity to visit this place just a few days ago. I had a dilemma because I had to buy dog food and a door knob because I was out of dog food and our doorknob broke. I always buy dog food at a supermarket in the Fort S&R because it's cheap there. MC Home Depot helped my buying a door knob very convenient because it was just beside S&R. Not only that, It's in the Fort. It's basically a one stop shop for home needs and it's inside the Metro. How convenient. Apart from that, they also have a lot of brands that you can choose from. I found my doorknob and I was on my way, after paying of course. For people who are bringing cars, not to worry because they have parking spaces. They really thought of everything. So there I was on my way home: dog food in the back and a doorknob on the passenger seat.

The past few years, there have been instances of robbery inside malls. Hearing in the news that the…read moremalls will take necessary precautionary measures, I didn't think much of it until the day came when I had to buy a hammer for one of my many projects. Wanting to get it over with so I don't forget yet again, I headed straight to Ace Hardware in the lower ground floor. I went straight for the aisle for tools and inquired for the most handy and reasonably priced hammer suitable for my needs. While walking to the cashier, the attendant asked me if I was leaving after. I though he was just being chatty so I told him I had a long list of things to do in the mall. It was then that he informed me of the newly implemented measures they are undertaking to ensure safety inside the mall. Willing to cooperate, I told him I can head straight to the car after paying. I was shocked that he offered to accompany me to my car to see that I left the hammer there. Swear, I didn't look like a burglar. I was shocked, but very glad that they are indeed going the extra mile in ensuring the safety of shoppers. Props to mall and store management.

Ace Hardware is a great place to go for your basic household needs like tools, bathroom supplies…read moreand parts, gardening things, car stuff, paint and paint supplies, lights and things, and so much more. Most of the employees are very helpful and knowledgable of their various products. They really go out of their way to help you understand whether or not a certain product would be good for you, and they even help find alternatives when necessary. I came to replace my broken bidet not even knowing that i had one, and Eduardo helped me out by finding the right size and color and giving me several different options with their advantages. A+ work from the bidet master. Prices are also very reasonable. In conclusion, for your everyday home needs go to Ace Hardware and look for Eduardo!

I advise against visiting the Cavite location due to unprofessionalism and discriminatory service…read more The staff appeared to profile customers based on appearance, intentionally ignoring me and failing to acknowledge questions or provide assistance.

Each project was a painful, excruciating experience. Trips to Wilcon at odd hours while juggling a day job, dealing with carpenters and their demands, balancing costs and living temporarily with the smell of cement and chemicals wafting in the air. All these things would have been much worse without the help of Wilcon. I think I go to Wilcon more than any other store in the Philippines. I feel like an adult whenever I am there and because it has really good fixtures and furnishings inside, I never get bored when walking around its halls. Every walk is pleasurable and every purchase reasonable. Tips: 1. If you want customized color for your walls ie aquamarine, you can have them mix it for you. 2. Come early and avoid the crowds. 3. Always keep your receipts. 4. Take your time looking at their selection of tiles.

At present we are only in the planning stages of building our PI vacation home…read more Occasional visits to one of the Wilson Depot stores in Laguna near Cavinti proved to me their great customer service. Armed just with a floor plan sketch and measurements for doors and windows I was able, with the help of sales people on the floor, to find and identify all the windows and doors for our soon to be built home. I felt no undue pressure or the addition of the dreaded "foreigner tax" many of us expatriates experience. True professionals. Once started we intend to return for plumbing and lighting fixtures. Salamut po to all the helpful employees.

This review is for the Wilcon located at 1231 Chino Roces Ave, Makati, Metro Manila…read more I would have loved to add their other location, but it is very disappointing to be the first to write a review, and it never gets posted. Hence, I just added my review to this location. I was referred to Wilcon by my contactor Madrigalejos Construction Services. Wilcon was one of the two places that Joseph Madrigalejos referred me to for bathroom and kitchen fixtures. I dealt with Adrian, who represents Grohe and Joseph, who represents Kohler. It took me a long time to decide what bathroom fixtures I wanted to purchase since the Grohe prices were much higher than the other brands. I ended up purchasing Grohe, instead of Kohler, only because Adrian was able to find something in stock that wasn't even being displayed, which was less than what was on display. The following week, it was time to change the kitchen faucet. Grohe had something on display, but the store didn't have it in stock. Adrian contacted me once they had it in stock. It was very convenient to just find Adrian because he is usually on the first floor by Grohe's display. He and another employee showed me what was within the box I ordered. Then, a different employee carried the item to the cashier. I was in and out within 15 minutes. I admire Adrian's customer service. He'll definitely be someone I'll be looking for if ever I need additional fixtures.
