This store is a life saver!…read more We are contractors and had a job on Orcas Island. We had never been to Orcas before and were unfamiliar with the area. Before we set out for the island, I looked up local hardware stores (just in case). I found Island Hardware & Supply, called them to make sure they would have what we MIGHT need, hopped in the truck and got on the ferry. OF COURSE it turned out that we DID need some items, so we set off for the Hardware store. We got lost and ended up at the little hardware store in East Sound - we thought we were at the right store, but they didn't have any of the supplies we needed. We were pretty confused until I found out from a local resident that the little hardware store in East Sound is on North Beach Road, and the big hardware store (Island Hardware) is on West Beach Road. So we hopped back in the truck again, and set out to find Island Hardware. (yes, we got losat again...but eventually figured it out) We were so relieved when we located the store and were able to purchase the supplies we needed, because we were thinking that we would have to get on the ferry and drive to the home depot in Mt Vernon (that would have taken forever). Island Hardware had all the stuff we wanted, lumber, tools, big bolts, lag screws, plumbing supplies etc. They even have a couple of little gas pumps which was handy for us. We had the occassion to go back up to Orcas for round two of the job which was exterior painting. The paint we purchased needed to be re-tinted at the last minute. We remembered that Island Hardware had a paint department and took the buckets of paint to them with our fingers crossed. Even though we didn't buy the paint from them, they happily re-tinted it for us...I thought that was pretty generous and excellent customer service!

I love this place. If I have a home or garden project, Ferndale Ace Hardware is my go to store…read more This year alone they have helped me in finding materials for fixing my toilet, interior paint for our home office, random hardware, spackling, sanding and drywall tools. They really do have a little of everything here. The store has a good layout and its easy to navigate each department. I especially like that the shelves are not too high for me to reach. Being 5' 2", this is sometimes a challenge. The customer service is great. Sales associate Daniel (who I have had the most interactions with) is friendly, knowledgeable and is always able to answer my toughest questions. This store also serves free popcorn, and who doesn't like that! *Ace also deserves an honorable mention for their help with the local cat rescue organization. Be sure to check out the enclosure at the front of the store. They rotate kitties through in hopes of drumming up interest for adoption. ********************************************* If you like this review, please give it a thumbs up and follow me for more epic reviews.

Sorry Ferndale Ace Hardware, your store just sucks.

I will not shop here again. Even if I need an item, I would rather do without. I bought a hatchet…read morethat was poorly designed. I brought it back the next day to exchange for a more expensive hatchet and they have a no exchange policy. The guy behind the counter not even helping me picked up the axe and decided to juggle it to demonstrate how nice it was. I am no stranger to axes, chain saws. In fact I was a tree climber when I was younger. What a junk show of a store including the manager - Scott Lancaster. I travel a lot and like to support the smaller hardware stores in smaller locations.

Their staff is well trained, friendly and professional - they bend over backwards to satisfy customers. We have also placed innumerable special orders, and they have satisfied 100% of the time. And in support of local woodworkers, they even give a discount to our woodworking club, the Northwest Corner Woodworkers Association. Their inventory for fasteners of all kinds exceeds what the big box hardware stores offer.
