Rarely am I not greeted, and often an employee, if they see me in the aisle will ask if I need assistance. Although not a warehouse store like *cough Home Depot cough *, they have almost everything I need (within reason). I like how they have pretty much every wood stove accessory or repair item, this is something that the warehouse stores *cough Lowes cough* do not carry. Tip: Sign up for their loyalty program. You get discounts and credits towards future purchases. Tip: If you come in with kids, bring a couple of quarters for the old school HUGE gumball machine.

The same arrogant guy gave my dad a hard time, just as he always does for me. I should preface this extra part by saying my father is also recovering from knee replacement surgery. The guy held the door open and told him to carry the soil into the store. When he saw my dad struggling to walk and carry the soil, he got so annoyed by him that when my father finally got close to the front door, he shut the door in his face, and walked back inside. This is my absolute last straw with this place. You cannot bill yourself as the "friendly neighborhood hardware store" and keep doing things like this to your customers. I will gladly take my business to a more commercial enterprise and save myself 30% for the trouble.

But turmoil has come over the past year and it's not good. Corporate Franchise Ace called Abbott's bought the shop and made it part of a east coast chain, and it's affected the experience negatively. Staff turnover has been very high, customer service is lackluster. One guy today couldn't bother to say "excuse me" while I was looking over some items and he just had to get to one of the items in front of me. Manners is seriously lacking with some of their staff. There's no clear leadership in the store - other than corporate from New York state dictating sales. Whomever is running the place needs to hire better people - more training so their more knowledgable about their products, and maybe people that are a bit more people oriented. One cashier lady is so morose I've come to hate going to her. A couple of the old crew is still around but with the turnover rate, and the lack of corporate care for service, I don't think they'll be around much longer. I've always placed Suburban Ace (now Costello Ace) as my First Choice for hardware needs, but with lackluster staff, poor product knowledge and a lack of customer service, that preference is fading fast. Home Depot is a little bit further from my workshop but the people there are, overall, better now than those at Costello Ace. Damn shame and I hope they get their act together.

Generator Installed Incorrectly, Not Reliably Operational, and No Accountability…read more We had an extremely poor experience with Martin Porter and Clark Sales & Service. Martin was our primary point of contact and the person we relied upon to advise us regarding the appropriate Generac system, generator placement, available options, covered circuits, and coordination of the installation. Our 26 kW Generac generator was installed in approximately July 2025. During the following year, it experienced repeated operational problems and failed us during two power outages. When we needed the generator in May, it did not operate because of a failed circuit that the technician described as an extremely unusual problem for a generator of that age. The more serious problem occurred during an extended power outage and heat wave. Although we had specifically agreed that our well pump and HVAC would be backed up, neither operated on generator power. We were left without water or air conditioning during the outage, creating exactly the health and safety situation we purchased the generator to prevent. Martin did arrange for the electrical contractor to return and correct the problem. The electrician initially appeared to believe that the well pump and HVAC had been connected properly, but later claimed that those items had been omitted from Martin's work order. Regardless of how the mistake occurred between Clark Sales & Service and its contractor, the critical circuits we expressly requested were not connected, and no effective quality-control testing was performed before the system was placed in service. After completing the corrective work, the contractor did not test the system to confirm that the well pump and HVAC operated on generator power. We later tested the system ourselves with a different electrician and confirmed that the corrected system was working properly. We have received no meaningful acknowledgment or apology from Martin or Clark Sales & Service for the incorrect installation, lack of testing, or substantial inconvenience and physical discomfort it caused. After the corrective work was completed, I directly asked Martin to call me and acknowledge what had happened. He did not respond and has not communicated with me since. We also would have considered a larger, whole-home Generac system, but Martin did not adequately explain or present those options. We now intend to upgrade through another provider because we no longer have confidence in Martin Porter or Clark Sales & Service. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Clark Sales & Service. Anyone using this company should insist on comprehensive testing under simulated outage conditions before accepting the installation.
