I grew up going to my neighbourhood hardware store with my parents. It was small and smelled like…read morefertiliser, but my parents generally came away with what they needed. Nothing exciting to see here, kid. As if by some cosmic stroke of fortune, the advent of the super-sized hardware stores (you know the ones I'm talking about so I'm not going to name them) coincided with the purchase of my first home. I'm not exaggerating when I claim to have spent HOURS in those stores -- looking at hundreds of faucets, light fixtures, paint samples, etc. it was like Yuppie Candyland. At this point in my life, however, I've come full circle on the hardware front. I don't want to spend 20-30 minutes driving to the superstore, and I certainly don't want to spend hours looking at all the products (That's want the internet is for!). Above all, however, I want to be able to talk to someone who can give me sound, knowledgeable advice about my project. Meet Brian, the owner of Ace Hardware in Clifton. "I'm restoring X --- what do you recommend?" He and most of his well trained staff have RARELY failed me. "Use this type of primer, that type of paint (always Benjamin Moore because it's the best), this o-ring, that turnbuckle, this filter, that electric mower." I'm not saying that I never go to the superstores -- Ace can hold only so much--but this is always my first stop, and like my parents, I come away more often than not with exactly what I needed.

Amazing, this store. Family run, full of everything you never knew you needed. I went in on a…read morelunch hour and came out with a clothesline. I was grateful to the family for taking over this location after a VERY old family run hardware went out of business. Klingenburgs is a local gem--perfect for neighborhood dwellers who don't want to drive to Buttermilk Pike or to Alexandria to the nearest Lowes or Home Depot; but also perfect because they care. I've never gone in without someone acknowledging me and I'm completely amazed by the amount of goods they carry--including pet supplies and farm fencing options.

Plaza is one of the local go to shop for your artist needs. They tend to have a wide selection of…read moreitems and if they don't have it in store, they may have it on their website and can usually order items for you. They also have a Kenwood location that might have items in stock. The staff has always been helpful, polite, and accommodating. Also, pro tip... check Groupon for discounts. Unfortunately, there's no Dick Blick in the vicinity. In my experience, Blick is sometimes cheaper than Plaza but the benefits of having Plaza close by cannot be ignored.

I really do love this place. Take everything I wrote before and paste it here. The staff here is so…read moreconsistent and has been for years. I feel like I've developed friendships with people I've never actually hung out with. In addition I almost always get nostalgic about the time I spent in art store searching for items on a list for my art classes. Best prices in town. Right now they have 60% of professional primed canvas which is remarkable because it never goes on sale. I will attach pictures of my painting that this store is responsible for (in a way). I couldn't be more satisfied. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C.

This is our fourth time coming here. I love it here because it is not overwhelming, everything is…read morecategorized, organized and super clean. Not to mention the super friendly staff. Knowledgeable and attentive. We came in here for just windshield wiper fluid and ended up buying more than that! Organic, potting soil, lighter fluid, firewood and got a house key made. I even bought the last fire pit and you won't believe how much I paid for. $149.99!! They didn't have the cover in stock, however they ordered it online and it will be delivered free to the store. They will notify us when it's in. Besides hardware, they also have paint section, cleaning supplies, bird food, grills and a small post office inside. If you are not doing a huge project (building materials), this place is so convenient and you can find them quickly. I love Lowes, however, it can be difficult to find stuff.

My lady and I recently moved to the area and were glad this place was here. We'd been by a couple times for random odds and ends, but after a recent trip experience, we felt we really needed to tout this spot. We stopped by on a Saturday after lunch just for some windshield wiper fluid for my lady's car, but she noticed a nice fire pit that we could use for our new back yard. The staff were all very friendly and helped us find the price. The price ended up being $149.99, which my lady and I couldn't resist, so we scored the last one with some extra goodies (fire wood, potting soil, and an extra house key). Two very helpful employees helped us bring the fire pit to our car. Unfortunately they didn't have a cover for said fire pit in stock, but we ordered one through them which will be delivered to this location at no additional charge. I have a really good feeling that we'll be regulars at this location. The whole staff are very helpful and friendly. This Ace is definitely the place for the helpful hardware folks!

We respectfully declined because there was uncertainty with the economy but they still gave us a generous discount! They were truly amazing!

I believe everything is on the floor all year long- no seasonal displays. I also look at the pillow sections, it has all the colors and sizes imaginable. I will definitely come back for the pillows and a lot of other stuff. It's great that they have a lot of stuff, it's overwhelming. I advice that you have a plan before coming to shop here. There's 2 cashiers when I was there, and it was not crowded at all. The wait is not that long. The workers seemed to try to keep the place organized and need, even marked with appropriate prices. The clearance stuff seemed to be mixed with regular prices items like in the pillow aisle and comforter/ bedding aisle.
