Amazing hardware store. Everything you need is there. Hardware, gardening, paint, housewares, grills, holiday decor

Thought I had to replace my patio room door handle and latch assembly entirely. A young staff person was eager to help and come to find out that I only needed the latch assembly. I put it on today and the door handle and latch works like new. Thx. read more

Recently ordered some chairs. Great quality. Very helpful and friendly service.. Quick delivery.

This is a great store with very friendly and knowledgeable staff along with a vast selection of good products at fair prices. As importantly, it is a local store that is very much a part of the Cape May community. read more

Last month, our portable air conditioner leaked everywhere, so we needed to replace it quick. We decided to get a window unit instead with more BTU (which is working much better than the portable). The big box hardware stores (and Walmart) has no window units. One store had portable units but we didn't want to go down that path again. Called a few Ace stores and Swain's confirmed they had units available. They helped me load it in the car. The associate was courteous and helpful I will definitely go there more often for hardware needs. read more

Strange as it may seem, this is on my list of best places to go in Cape May. I always come here. It's unique compared to other city hardware stores. I always have fun looking around at what they've got, because it's more than just nuts and bolts. The service is good and so are the prices. It's just beyond the main part of town - you won't regret a small trip here! Photo Credit: www.celilo.net read more

Swain's Hardware - Ace Hardware Logo - Hardware Stores Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

I'm pretty particular when it comes to hardware stores, and Swain's has become my all time favorite. We're year-rounders, so I've been there when I was the only one in the place, and during the summer when it was swamped. They always provide friendly professional service, and their inventory selection is confirmed by the number of tradesman that shop there. They have always been dog friendly, and really helped our new pup get acclimated to her new life in Cape May. She's sort of become an unofficial mascot! Highly recommended. read more

Friendly and helpful staff, fantastic selection from Garden to home and housewares. Went there to buy a padlock for my gym locker and came away with the new lock and a new water bottle/canteen. Fabulous! read more

Very convenient location from the center of Cape May Historic downtown area. The store also provides parking which is rare among all the local shops around. Here we found a good selection of beach umbrellas ranging from standard inexpensive ones you see in the gift shops and supermarkets to commercial ones that are built to sustain strong wind and frequent usage. Although the store is in a prime location, the prices seem to be reasonable and service is friendly. read more

Swains is a "find it all" store and the only reason I'm giving them 3 stars is even though I'm 60 years old they "track" me through the store like I'm going to steal something. If you asked me once if I need help and I'm ok, don't follow me around! I may just be getting ideas for future items to buy thats all! I like the place and find nearly everything I'm looking for but I'm not a 10 year old kid, have some courtesy please. read more

Spent over a half hour today at Swain's correcting a mistake on paint color that another store had made. Great people, great store. They have everything and superior customer service. read more

Swain's Ace Hardware is a great place to shop The team is helpful, courteous and professional. I purchased a grill which was put together and delivered (to a third story deck). They even called someone to take the old one away Great professional service. read more

This is the greatest hardware--family run. They always give excellent advice and have great ideas. And a great place to just browse--great house accents. Just a little bit of everything and not overly expensive. Check it out--free parking. Everything from paint to electrical to plumbing to candles to throw rugs.... The list is endless. read more

One of Cape May's great assets. Tremendous selection, very helpful staff. The owners, brother and sister, are terrific.and the sister is vice mayor, keeping the city going. I never bother with the hardware stores in Philadelphia and always head for Swain's. read more

Swains is a real hardware store, darned few left -- knowledgeable helpful staff, a diverse inventory of really useful, quality tools and supplies. I'm always surprised at how well their buyers anticipate the needs of shore homeowners and visitors. Swains is one of the delights of Cape May. Whether it's a tire for your bike or a 10-32 machine screw, they'll have it. read more

Wow is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Swain's. Our yearly trip to Wildwood Crest always includes two or three nights in Cape May. While the women folk are shopping for candles and baskets, us men folk head off to Swain's. The old adage "A place for Everything and Everything in it's Place" describes Swain's exactly. Oh and don't tell the women folk they also sell candles and baskets but that's our little secret. The employees are more like family, they guide you right to what you need and if you are just browsing, they leave you alone. Prices are reasonable and as I said before they have everything. I have even said wow I didn't know they made something like that, I want that and I buy it. Now if they just had a bar in there and a few TV's, we would probably go to Cape May more often. Well can't wait till next summer for our yearly fix of Old Americana in Swain's, if the world ran like Swain's it would be a much nicer place to be. "Ace is the Place" could not be a better description for Swain's, they should be the Poster Children for Ace Hardware Stores. They should hold classes there for the Franchise. And "That's All Folks". read more

Very helpful Staff. Went in today and could not have been more helpful. They had everything I needed. Beat hardware experience ever!!
