Today I had great service from Jacob (I may have spelling wrong). He helped me out with a ridiculous request. It was for Sand and he was so professional regarding a small purchase but he helped out! They have everything in ACE hardware stores. Thank you! BTW once you go there they send coupons and I used one today it was awesome! Thank you ACE you're the best!

The staff is always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Before I buy anywhere else I go here first. They are locally owned and operated, which makes me feel even better.

It's time for this place to go away. Their service is slow and inattentive, product mix is…read moreincredibly limited and prices are double than what you pay at a big box. Stopped by this morning for 3 items. They only had 1 of the 3 things I needed. Then it took me 10 minutes to checkout because there was only 1 person at the checkout counter, who left to walk out back to help another customer. Meanwhile there are at least 3 to 4 other workers standing around playing grab ass. In retail you need to win on: Price, product or customer service. If you have none of this to offer it's probably time to close your business!

The man who helped me was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He asked the right questions, quickly understood the situation, and guided me to exactly what I needed. I mentioned my 87-year-old dad was visiting and I was trying to fix it before he tried to climb a ladder himself--he completely got it and made sure I left with a solid plan. They have everything you need for most projects, and it's so convenient to have a place like this right in the neighborhood. I'll definitely be back.

Told him what I was trying to do and he took me to two metal clamping options to fasten the rack on the bike and even went out to the front to see how they would worked. He gave me tools and cut rubber lining to secure the clamps on the bike and we did it all right in the front of the shop. HUGE help! Thank you again Reuben! Incredible service and I love the newly installed rack!!

Village Hardware is a throwback worthy of visiting ................ You can't find the old style of…read morehardware store any more with variety and the ability to buy a few pieces of what you need. While on this visit, an employee actually asked me if I needed assistance - and meant it! You have to check out my pics of their nuts and bolts. As a DIYer, I was in heaven. I was looking in bins, just because. They had fasteners, I hadn't seen before, but now I know they exist when I need that certain something in a particularly hard project. The open stock round bins brought a smile on my face as I remembered those bins as a kid going with my grandfather to the hardware store. Alas it was a trip down memory lane, but a modern day open stock hardware island.

I've shopped at this hardware store purely for convenience, but after repeatedly witnessing how the…read moreowner treats his staff, I will no longer be returning. On multiple visits, I've seen employees--often teenagers--spoken to in a demeaning and belittling way. During my most recent visit, I asked an employee a simple question. He went to confirm the answer with the owner and was immediately talked down to. After hearing this, I approached the owner directly to ask the same question myself and unfortunately received the same condescending attitude. It's also worth noting that there are no prices listed on items, which makes shopping unnecessarily frustrating, and if you need to return anything--unused or opened--good luck. It's disappointing to see workers treated this way, and it explains why there seems to be constant staff turnover. Customer service starts with how employees are respected, and sadly, that's lacking here. Despite the longer commute, I'll be taking my business to the other hardware store on the island moving forward.

I have shopped here for everything but most recently indoor and outdoor plants. My pied-de-tierre has a sizable balcony which has great sun exposure but can be cold from marine/beach/ocean layers. Have been on the hunt for specific flowering trees that can tolerate these weather fluctuations. The garden shop has a vast variety of flowering trees I like and purchased at a great value. Again, the staff are always very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Oh, and I have seen some attractive looking people, men and women shop here...not sure if they were shopping for home stuff or shopping for their next date lol Will continue to shop for home stuff at Home Depot, gets my recommendation.

I wish I caught everyone's names (I only caught Tracy's, who was so awesome) as I'd love to give them each a shoutout because they were all so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to help me in my frenzy. From the front of the store, to the various aisles, to the checkout. I wish I lived closer because I'd only come to this store after this.

I guess it was too hard to let me load my own van with merchandise. Really didn't understand this one. Its cool though. Rolled a bigger toolbox into my van from the Home Depot down the street. I should have known better than to go to Harbor Freight.

Tools for the job…read more There's plenty of tool places but sometimes you just want to get in quick and leave. Over here they don't sell paint, furniture, lumber, or BBQ pits. They sell just tools. Items to get the repair, construction, or demolition done. Most of the tools are made in Asia but for the quality and durability of the tools, it's still cheaper than the big boys. Overall five stars. If you know specifically what you want, this is the place. There is a loyalty program. IDK what it does but they got one so might as well sign up.
