I know the prices are higher than the big box stores but your time and emotional state are worth something. They also have just about anything you can dream up to use. Highly recommend these guys.

The prices are very reasonable and honestly, I wouldn't have a problem paying more, just based on the fact that each time, I can get hold of a staff member that is friendly. Knowledgeable and willing to listen and help. Lastly, it's amazing how quickly some of these other reviewers left such negative feedback. It really doesn't make sense to me and honestly, I don't believe their comments. I've never experienced, nor even witnessed any issues as such that would warrant a single start rating. Anyway, I'm glad that Arjays is local in Exeter and has always provided myself and several close friends with Knowledge and friendly support. Thanks Arjays management & staff! Abe

Really, I've found a variety of odd bolts, downspouts, aluminum channel, and other things that I can never find at Home Depot. And the people know what they're talking about. I'm not saying that no one at Home Depot knows anything, but there's a difference. The pipefitter who's working as a Home Depot as a greeter is a nice guy and I wish him all the best, but the guy at Ricci who knows where every obscure nut and bolt is located does me more good. I haven't compared the prices. I doubt if Ricci is cheaper, but my guess is that they're similar in prices and frequently after I go to Home Depot, I have to stop at Ricci anyway.

I've had copies of keys there that work EVERY TIME, unlike the big box stores.

Heck, they even took the time to help me with a table lamp rewiring project! If I went to one of the box stores, I'd still be there looking for parts. Like another reviewer said this is my go-to store for all home repairs. Thank you Hampton Center Hardware--please stay open forever! -Greg
