Well I go to a big box store when you can go to your local Settergrens?! this is by far my…read morefavorite hardware store in the Twin Cities. They have an excellent selection and the best customer service ever. When the staff recommends a product, you know that they stand behind it, they've tried using it and it is a high-quality. I bought a new ice scraper today that is by far the best ice scraper ever. I had at least 1 inch of ice on my driveway and it got right underneath it without killing my back. PLEASE BUY LOCAL! AND PLEASE STOP IN AND MEET MARK AND THE CREW!

Fantastic hardware store!…read more Mark has probably saved our family thousands of dollars over the years ($1,300 in plumbing quotes alone) with his advice to solve problems backed by knowhow and knowledge of the problems his products help solve! This month the shower faucet was leaking. $3.99 kit of washers combined with Mark telling me which ones to try first. In 30 minutes, the leaking was fixed. He has done this multiple times. I literally search the internet for how tos and Amazon for products to fix a problem, then look at Mark's site online to see what they have in stock and buy it Settergren's of Linden Hills instead. When I don't know I ask... and he doesn't charge me for the advice... Mark is also great with referring service providers. I have a beloved ~30-year-old Toro lawnmower that was taking 12+ pulls to start. I thought I was going to have to replace it for $500. Mark referred me to Glen Rud, a fantastic, honest, and reasonable small engine repair expert in located in Richfield. Glen fixed the problem and I had it back in 1.5 days. It just needed an adjustment to the choke... Fantastic hardware store!

I 100% completely agree with the other reviews. When I went into this Sherwin-Williams paint store,…read moreI was lucky enough to have Todd be the person who provided customer service. He answered every question I had, and with certainty. He was a very friendly and positive person, who also took time to ask what the project was to ensure I purchased the correct products. I would 100% recommend this store, and my number one reason would be the customer service this gentleman provided. In my opinion, you can't teach great customer service - you either have it or you don't. Todd definitely has it. Thank you!

Not being a do-it-yourself, home repair kind of guy, I never expected to fall in love with a…read morehardware store, but that's what's happening with Welna II in Seward. It helps that the store's just a short walk from my house. But what turned me into such a fan is the exceptional customer service. As soon as I step in the door I know I'll get a friendly hello and offer of help from whoever's working the counter. Owner Jim Welna and his staff have proven time and time again they're more than happy to go the extra mile to come up with solutions to problems. Plus, when it comes to product recommendations, I can trust they'll steer me in the right direction. Instead of the most expensive item, they'll show me what's locally produced, eco-friendly, AND most cost effective. If they don't have what I need they'll do what they can to make sure I get it. And these people know their stuff! One more thing: If your timing's right, as mine was on my second trip, Mr. Welna might offer you one of the hot dogs he's got cooking on the grill out back. That's the kind of added bonus that makes this family-owned neighborhood hardware such a standout!
