I'm a pretty active do-it-your-selfer, and I love hardware stores. Ridgefield Hardware is very…read moreimpressive. While branded as an ACE store--nothing against ACE, I've found them in various locations, including Madison, CT, to be consistently excellent--Ridgefield Hardware has the look and feel of a true, old-fashioned, independently run store. The staff are all very nice and very knowledgeable. While I use Ring's End for bigger projects, when I'm looking for something specific and cannot find it at Ring's End, I more often than not find that Ridgefield Hardware has what I need. If you don't see what you want quickly, just ask. The great team behind the cash registers at the front will ask when you come in if they can help. Don't be shy--tell them what you are looking for--unless you are just browsing or know exactly where the items you need are located. It will save you time and they'll alert someone to help you. I almost never post on-line reviews, but Ridgefield Hardware is fantastic and they deserve acknowledgement. DM from South Salem, NY

I just found this hardware store recently and it has everything you can imagine in an old fashioned…read morepre-corporate era hardware store with the benefit of being able to converse with the owners. The owner was really attentive and so was his employee. I was amazed at how many different products they had in the store for the size of the place. A lot of the hardware stores in my area went out of business years ago leaving me only with options like HD and LHI. I have always preferred to shop in small local businesses rather than corporations when I can get what I need from them. I really believe in supporting brick and mortar stores in this day and age because the Internet has made it very difficult for them. Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. I really enjoyed just browsing around and then picking up a bunch of stuff that had been in the back of my mind for some time. Sometimes I just have to walk around stores to get ideas on how to fix what needs to be repaired. There's plenty of space to walk around and do that here. I should also mention that the store is very clean and neatly organized so that you can find what you're looking for. I will definitely be going back in the future for my hardware needs.

The education center led by Kevin Meskill keeps all of us up to date on code changes and more. The products cost a little more but the quality is there. Yesterday I needed 24 4x4x8s, you just grabbed from the pile and the quality was there. I recently went to a big box store and after spending fifteen minutes picking and choosing I still had to compromise. Great company led by a great staff.

I still feel like I get a bargain because the sales people know their stuff more than any others I have met over the 37 years I have owned homes (that have needed lots of work!) -- and they care enough to share their knowledge, stating confidently the best product choice or guiding us through the pros and cons of various product options!! Over the years, the knowledgable and kind sales team has rescued me from numerous close calls, wrong decisions that could have really cost me. Rob (the manager) tops the list with knowing the right product for the application, sharing even the smallest details that contribute to the best result. Dave helped advise about doors/windows,trims, etc., and recently, Rich, the paint department manager, saved the day when a couple of painters proposed sanding our cedar shake shingles as part of stain prep and Rich correctly said never to do that, it would remove the shakes' texture and its natural beauty. They view their jobs as essential purveyors of knowledge to the customer, not just to make sales. How lucky we are in CT to have this tremendous resource!

They have the essentials so I can't knock them but this location is specifically for paint and wallpaper. They don't have many hardware options at all. That's my only tiff with this location hahah.

I couldn't believe how $$ it was but I haven't bought paint I forever so I figured yikes but this must be what it costs. Today I used the paint. I am so disappointed in the lack of quality. I was painting white over another previously painted white that had yellow hue I did t like. So easy, right? White over white? Well it's going to need another coat. The paint had such high odor. I felt nauseous and had to stop .the paint didn't cover the molding nicely. It's got streaks , dark areas light areas. It splattered a little .I'll have to do the whole thing over again tomorrow. I plan on visiting the store to discuss a fair resolution. BTW sane paint $20 LESS at Home Depot. So while I still feel it's so important to support local small businesses I do not advocate getting ripped off and steered wrong. I hope they will make it right.
