For a community hardware store this fits the bill…read more I've stopped by here periodically to grab something small in lieu of going into town. They have a decent selection but not a whole lot of one category. Not long ago I needed a knife sharpener and the sharpener company listed everywhere in town that carried it including this hardware store. I wasn't about to drive the other side of town to save a few dollars so I mentioned my dilemma to the man behind their counter. He happened to not only have it in stock but took a dollar off for me. Now that's how ma & pa stores work because I've been a true customer ever since. Recently hookah pipes have replaced normal hardware items at the front counter and I really don't get it. Maybe there's some unknown way of converting it to a tool???

I recently rented a roto rooter from this store that was not performing properly. I stopped in to…read moretalk to the owner whose name is Andrew. After our conversation about the machine not performing properly, Andrew turned the whole problem around and blamed me for his non performing machine. Andrew had no sympathy or care about my problem. I am 65 years old and the broken worn out machine cost me $86.27 from my social security check. Andrew's customer service was dry and non-existent. I need to warn Ocala of this small business. I will be going to Lowes for all my needs instead of supporting this small business called home hardware on 3446 East Silver Springs Blvd in the Publix shopping plaza. Fool me once, shame on me. There will not be a fool me twice.

I am on oxygen 24/7 and my oxygen level drops making me unsteady. Was in the store the cashier…read morerecognizes me with my oxygen tubes in my nose. I ask if I could get a chair I felt weak. No she said, expressing no concern . I am recommending Home Hardware have a chair for their elderly OTOW customers. We spend a lot of money at Home Hardware because the guys are terrific and accommodating unlike this female cashier.

I visited Home Hardware to find a specific metric screw for a television bracket. Mitch assisted me…read moremultiple times in determining the appropriate metric screw. He mentioned during my last visit that if the screw did not fit, I should bring in the television so we could resolve the issue together. Consequently, I took my Samsung television to the store. After several trips in and out, he successfully identified the correct solution! I am extremely thankful to Mitch; any business would be fortunate to have him on their team. I will certainly return to Home Hardware for all my project requirements. Thank you once more, Mitch!

It was literally the 1st day in Ocala and we needed a bracket to mount a chandelier. I had no idea…read morewhere to go and Gilbert's came up in Yelp so off I went I know not where. I literally had no idea where I was so it seemed like "do I turn here?! Can it possibly be this far along this road!!? Where the heck am I!!?" but then there it was. It's a great little place very much with a country General Store vibe. It's an Ace so it's got a bit of everything and better quality goods generally than HD and/or Lowe's, but nowhere near the size. Very nice, helpful service. Now that I'm a bit more familiar with the area, I don't think it's any farther away than HD or Lowe's so for basic hardware items I think it's a neat place to go.

there should be a 'no star' option. I ordered windows May 30, 2025 and have had wrong sized…read morewindows delivered twice. I was told they would be installed the beginning of December. All of the windows I received were the wrong size but was told that they would put a rush on them and I would receive them within two weeks. That didn't happen. The next date was January 23rd but that has come and gone and no windows. They are great about calling and giving an 'update' but the update is always a procrastination, no firm information. My advice is if you want windows, do not go to Lowes. The installation company has been wonderful to work with, but unfortunately, they have no influence with Lowes.
