The staff is knowledgeable and willing to help however they can. They actually pick up their phone so you can call in advance to confirm they have what you need. Anytime I need something for a home repair I instantly think of Kim's Hardware. They have the majority of what you need for basic repairs. They also have a large selection of luggage (big and small). They even offer window screen repair services. I needed to get my screens replaced for a few years and I finally visited Kim's Hardware and they were able to make the repairs in a few days. They also made sure the screen color remained the approved HOA color. My screen repair was reasonably priced.

A long time ago around 2025 this place nickel and dimed me…read more I ordered small cheap items like screws and stuff for a project at home. Thankfully I asked for a receipt. 1 day later, after working on the project some of the items I purchased were not the correct screws. It was then I noticed multiple and I mean almost several small extra charges of 1 cent to10 cents back to back on my receipt. These charges had no explanation. They were clearly malicious made up charges to make extra money off me. It was the son and dad thst overcharged me. I remember who was at the counter. I returned to Kims hardware to not only get the correct items but also to be refunded for the extra charges. I spoke to the son and father and I represented myself with great politeness, respect and professionalism towards them. They did NOT return the favor. I mean wow, they got really nasty towards me. Rude, very loud, and disrespectful. The son was the one who over charged me in the 1st place. The father was at first going to give me my refund but was a bit hesitant. Their was a slight language barrier but he was still really grumpy about it and then he got his son over instead of giving me the 2bucks and they both double teamed me for 5-7m straight. Tried making me feel stupid and using my age against me as many people think im 21yrs old. The son mentioned my education, why am I making a big deal over two bucks, no refunds allowed. Tried saying that I should've mentioned it when it happened and it's too late. That it was probably taxes or fair charges. When I started mentioning im a manager at a retail store, I know what chicago taxes are down to the exact number and I stated my age and my father being a tradesman, their confidence started to buckle. I also stated the law, the better business bureau, started to break down the receipt and what I actually bought and showed the same products on the shelves and what they cost and proved I was given hidden extra charges. After about the 6th minute of them quite literally belitting me, yelling at me and being mean and me holding it down and mentioning this is illegal the father threw the 2 bucks or so down at the table and started speaking in his native tongue to his son complaining. I told them multiple times to just do the right thing. Whats fair and just. Why argue and be mean. The son didnt care about any of that. I truly wish I wrote this review when it was fresh because I recall the son saying very specific mean things to me. They did all of this while customers were in the store and co workers were watching. As I prepared to walk out a worker that was listening apologized I had to go through that and said, "you're not the first person they did that to. Its happened multiple times. People getting overcharged, wanting to exchange or refund things. They try denying it and get all rude and mean". It's a shame really because my 1st day their was pretty chill. The asian dude with the long hair seemed nice to me when I first went there and helped me find my items even though they were the wrong items and he did not understand my issue when presented. The son who at the time had a shaved or bald head and the father are both nickle and dimers. Be wary. Check your receipt before leaving. Take your time and do the math. Someone should audit these guys. I'm pretty sure they are breaking a few laws and im pretty sure the IRS would love to take a look at them. If anyone doesnt like scammers, help report Kims Hardware to the necessary departments.

They were fun to work with, supportive along the entire process from design, manufacturing, and installation. And when there were elements involved that they did not sell (fixtures, appliances, etc.) they helped with referrals to others in the area that they had great working relationships with. I sold the condo they helped me re-design earlier this year, and I miss it everyday! I look forward to the day we renovate our house, just to work with the AKB team again.

AKB is just what it says--a store with kitchen goodies and bath design. I was skeptical about how a…read moretiny storefront in Andersonville, only blocks from my home and next to a storefront I spent a lot of time in when it was a knitting ship could have vanity stuff like I was looking for, but Yelp said they did so I suspended my disbelief. It all made sense when I found that they have a design area upstairs. Downstairs they have various kitchen items and gadgets. An appointment is required to talk about cabinetry and get some estimates. I met with Marnie, and she was fantastic. I had Opinions on what I did and did not want and she seemed pleased with that and that I had actually done the research on the cabinetry options she'd sent, so I came in knowing precisely which ones I wanted. It definitely made the appointment go more quickly since I already knew which door styles and colors I was interested in. She talked with me about some of the technical aspects (e.g., framed vs. frameless vanities, top mount vs. under mount sinks, etc.) and they had various examples on display. They also had most of the door styles to have a better idea of what they'd look like. For the bathroom in which the vanity would be installed, the options here were more than we wanted to spend. I'd like to consider an update for the main bathroom, though, and would look to AKB for that job. The companies they work with have really beautiful products. Honestly, it makes me want to do more remodeling (main bathroom! Kitchen!) because wandering around the showroom made me want everything! I'm probably not quite that much of a masochist given the construction that would entail, but....

This turned out to be a great recommendation! There were a few issues with the tub and toiler we got, but these were manufacturer issues and not anything caused by J&D. However, J&D corrected the issues immediately and went to bat for us with the manufacturer, so there were no costs incurred to us and only a very minor delay to our project. Overall, we'll definitely go back to J&D for future remodels and hope to work again with Lien in particular.

The resulting vanity, top, and faucet, is perfect. It's beautiful (even our guests were impressed), gave us more storage space and sturdy enough to serve as another station for toddler handwashing and morning tooth brushing.
