"The Queen of Hearts has shown her face She wants you to believe You were never meant to have Aces up your sleeve" (John Hiatt) Super neat and heavily stocked with pretty much anything you'd find in a big box building supply store. Painting, lawn and garden, hardware, tools, grills and barbecue, electrical, and plumbing supplies are all very well represented on their shelves. Parking is never an issue at Ace because it's located in the very spacious Canton Village Plaza. So, if you ever need a can of spray paint, garden hose, specialty light bulbs, barbecue sauce or wood chips for your smoker, you'll definitely find it at Ace. Like the old jingle said, "Ace is the Place". read more

This is a well stocked and organized store located in the Canton Village Plaza. There were plenty of parking in front of the building. They had grills and outdoor patio furniture on their lawn since it's the spring season. When we walked in, we were immediately asked if we needed help with finding something. We were looking for exterior paint and the employee walked over and showed us the types of paint they had and was very informative. The prices were a little more than the big box stores but it is family owned, local, and has everything we needed for home repairs/upgrades. They have two locations, Canton and West Hartford. They offer paint recycling. If they don't have the product in stock, they will order it for you since they are affiliated with the Ace Hardware warehouse; the warehouse carries over 80,000 items. They offer many services in-house such as key cutting and propane fills. When you join the Ace Rewards, you can earn rewards with every purchase. Overall, a great asset for the community. read more

They are the most helpful, knowledgeable people! I always find what I'm looking for! I also drive past another hardware store to get to Ace, because it is totally worth the extra miles! read more

Recently we brought 2 small chainsaws to Larsons Ace Hardware in Canton, CT to sharpen chains and clean. We were told this would be done with an agreed upon price. At pick-up, we were told both saws were inoperable and chains were not installed. One screw was said to be stripped on first saw, second saw was said to be missing a screw. We disputed this since we had just used both saws after a recent windstorm. The cleaning was not done, despite our agreement when we dropped them off. Mr Larson Sr told us saws appeared 'to be picked up from a street corner' and 'weren't working when we dropped them off' which is false. Mr Larson and staff were rude, which shocked us due to our many years of loyally shopping here. We do not recommend going to Larson Ace Hardware. read more

Although when I first moved to the area, I thought this place was very expensive. However, after joining the Rewards membership club with the discount, I found the price to be much more reasonable especially compared to the drive to either Home Depot or Lowe's. Customer service is excellent, especially Ryan who does FOB keys and provided an excellent service for me. Thanks for the excellent neighborhood hardware store! read more

A true gem of a local hardware store. Top to bottom, every associate knows where items are and is happy to help. I have always been happy with service and selection. Grill and accessory selection are both top notch. Would recommend whether trying to find an obscure hardware part or the perfect grill or grill accessories! read more

Outstanding across the board. Best staff of any business around. A little pricey but you get what you pay for and this place has the best service of any place I have ever been to. read more

You could spend a million dollars here and this place won't even honor a $10 or 20% off coupon. Sure they will show you where stuff is in the store but they make the wrong call in doing what's right for the customer. read more

Really liked this hardware store. I only went for a few cans of paint but got really great service and some really great advice on painting. I know nothing about painting so it was awesome to get suggestions and expert advice. read more

Larsen Ace Hardware - Hardware Stores Near Me - Canton, Connecticut

Been to Larsen Hardware a few times now. The prices on some items may be a little higher than a big box store but you won't get the kind of service at Larsen at a box store. You deal with one person not various people per department. The store is clean and organized and the employees are helpful and knowledgeable read more

The best hardware store on the area! We go back again and again! Staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They put out coupons and are competitive with big box stores in selection and price. Love to see a local owned business thrive! read more

Always seems to have just what I need without traveling 25 minutes to a big box store

Very clean and organized store. The staff is helpful and merchandise is very easy to find. I live in Simsbury but I'm going to continue coming here! read more

Hardware store. Even a chef has a need for one. This is probably the most helpful, friendly staff of any hardware store I've ever been in, (including big box stores). It's a small store, so it's not *that* tough to know where everything is, but it's always nice when you can ask, and they can bring you to the item, not just point and walk away. They'll answer questions, and if they're not sure, they'll find out. read more

The best customer service! Always a quick in-and-out because the take right to the product you need and can get you anything they don't have within a few days. read more

This place is the real deal. The helpfulness of the staff is sincerely appreciated. They have what you need and will help you find it. Plenty of parking. Also a great place for the propane tank refills. Definitely preferred over the big box stores. read more

I don't know what is going on with this place, but it used to be decent. A few months ago they sold us a plumbing part to fix our dishwasher and it was missing a piece. They had no idea. Then today we had a propane tank refilled, went to use it, and it was leaking gas! A perfectly good tank that we used for weeks now suddenly doesn't work the minute after they touched it. Probably overfilled it in a rush as it was near closing time. That is so dangerous! If you don't know what you are doing, don't handle gas tanks. Just seems like lately every time we go there it's a problem. And if you try to complain, they defend themselves. The customer is never right here. Buyer beware. read more

Best service around. Well stocked for all your needs. I went to buy a grill and they spent 20 minutes explaining the different ones they had and which would best best for our use. I have gone back for several other items and always the same result. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL OWNERS!!!!! read more

I made a Yelp account just to give this store a really positive review. Why? Because they WENT INTO THEIR ATTIC to get me seven strings of Christmas lights, which I wanted for decorating at my wedding three days later. Christmas lights were not on display because it was out of season. They went above and beyond for a $35 sale. read more

Best hardware store in the county. All the staff is friendly and helpful, and never in a pushy way. The salespeople are very knowledgable about their products and how to use them. The young folks who work the registers are nice and very efficient. Also, this place has everything- more useful supplies than you'll find at a big box hardware store. I have never left Larsen feeling disappointed. read more

They have EVERYTHING! And I love being able to go in and buy 4 screws (which they kindly find for me) instead of a whole box. The staff always asks if they can help and the single line for the registers is the fairest. read more

I had always been a fan of Lowes/Home Depot 'til I moved here. This place is, literally, ACE... no kidding. There are ALWAYS helpful guys/gals on the floor and they're ALWAYS available to help with where stuff is, knowledgeable about the best way to fix a problem and get the optimal solution. Their prices (I find) ARE competitive with the 'big box' guys and it's a LOT nicer environment to shop in too. I've NEVER been refused a refund/exchange if something's not right; they regularly send out good discount card/offers so, what's not to like. Oh - and where else to you get to eat at a FREE summer barbecue, while sitting in their comfortable deck-seating arrangements. This plACE get's my vote (and my business) EVERY time! read more

Love the Larson Ace, though Yelp has the hours all wrong = most nights it closes at 7p.m. (not 6p.m.).
