I have absolutely no sense of materials nor mechanical things. Every time I've been to the store in Arlington, I get the help I need to fix or install something, which I never thought possible, at least not with my own hands. Today I was nearly at my wit's end because I had sought help for a few months (!) to remove those awful window locks that protect landlords but suffocate tenants. For some reason, no one could find the right apparatus to remove the locks. I took photographs of the locks, the screws, the mounting -- no one I turned to for help had the right bit or wrench because removing the lock didn't require a standard bit or an IKEA-type wrench. I FINALLY found out, thanks to Ace's Vicente, that the screws I wanted to remove required a torx, several of which were included in a collection of drill bits I immediately purchased. Vicente explained carefully every step I needed to take to safely remove the screws from the lock and the lock from the window. I think I asked incredibly stupid questions, but he never let on and was really sympathetic about how awful these locks are (for childless, fresh-air-craving tenants). When one screw wouldn't come out, back I went to the store and bought Liquid Wrench, his go-to product for easing stuck screws out of their holes. It also worked. Now I have three fully open windows circulating air according to my needs. Not only that, I've increased my knowledge of things mechanical and am actually excited by the prospect of becoming less stupid about them! I've always appreciated the crew and the store owner for their attitude and customer service. They were especially outstanding during 2020. I can't say enough good stuff about the men and women of Twins Ace Hardware in Arlington. read more

This store has the nicest staff and are super helpful. Jeff (the owner) answered the phone when I called about locks. He confirmed they can rekey (much cheaper than a locksmith!) and he gave me some other helpful recommendations. They rekeyed my locks on the timeframe they promised. I also picked up a couple other items - this store is bigger than it looks and has pretty much everything you need! Highly recommend shopping here. read more

Excellent service. Superbly well run. Can't say enough about the staff and how helpful they've been over the years! A++++++ all the way!

The customer service at this location was fabulous! Jeff was really helpful with assisting me with all of my shopping needs. He physically showed me were almost all of the items were located. I will come back for all of my hardware needs : ) thanks E.J Friedman read more

Just the absolute best and most friendly staff. I can't say enough good things about my visits to Ace. On my most recent stop, the manager/owner even stayed late on his way out before the weekend to assist me. Never have I ever actively sought out reasons to go to the hardware store, but I always have such a pleasant visit to Twins Ace! read more

I just received the BESTcustomer service from Jeff,at Ace Hardware, in Court House. He solved my problem, offered several, knowledgeable options, and was excellent in every regard! I highly recommend shopping here! Thank you Jeff! read more

I called to see if they could copy my car's key that has the chip in it. They indicated they could, $40 and that they had 3 in stock. I told them I was 20 minutes away, and would be there shortly. When I arrived the key clerk looked up the key and then said she could make an appointment....What? Why? I asked to speak with the Manager (Marty) who said they didn't have the box to duplicate the key.... Well they could have saved me an hour and frustration if they would have told me that during the call when I told them I was headed there. Very poor training and basically a go pound sand customer service attitude. There are better options headed to Big box store HD read more

I needed cash back. So I went into the store and asked if they offered cash back. The cashier said they did. So I bought two plant dishes to make two separate transactions. Naturally i go up to the register and hit DEBIT. The prompts never allowed a cash back option. The cashier kinda hissed at me like UGh you have to hit cash back. I said where? So then we try a second time and she looked at the screen prompts with me. She still did not see the cash back option. So finally we hit the DEBIT button and when it said would you like to use use it as a DEBIT then you hit NO. Then it had the cashback option. The other cashier said sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. Its clear that the two female cashiers didnt know how to offer cashback to the customers. Which is an incentive to purchase something from the store. The cashier hissed and was getting aggravated at me to the point where she said theres an ATM machine over there? Why would I pay $6-$8 in transaction atm feed when your cashiers should know how to get cash back? Not wasting my money. I bought the two expensive plant holders which were overpriced by the way but it was a negotiation of me going into the store. Train your cashiers! read more

This has become my go-to hardware store. I first went in because I was nearby and noticed the level of helpfulness and advice was way above the level you get at most other hardware store. Every time I've needed advice for a house DIY project, the staff at the Ace hardware store helped me out and gave me ideas on how to fix the problem. Everybody is very friendly, helpful, and attentive. If they're not sure how to solve a problem, they don't hesitate to say so or refer to another colleague. And the store usually has everything I need and more... Thank you! read more

Need anything? They probably have it here! We are so lucky to have them in the neighborhood. They carry so many things and are so helpful. Sometimes prices are a little more than an online retailer, but you can't beat the convenience. read more

Can't say enough good things about the stop in I just had at this Ace Hardware store. Walked in, super friendly staff greeted me, asked if I had something particular I needed/was looking for. They knew exactly what I described, led me to the exact aisle, grabbed both items and had me checked out and back out the door within a few minutes. Local places are a wonderful thing to have, prices even at or below Amazon for the same things. Be sure to check local if you can! read more

Since I moved back to Rosslyn this year I've bought all kinds of things here. Kitchen stuff, bathroom stuff, cleaning supplies, step stool, door mats, all kinds of light bulbs. What they don't have, they'll order upon request. Friendly and helpful staff/management. I'm frequently getting coupons in the mail. Recently I forgot to bring a coupon and went back the next day to se if they'd give me a credit. They did & cheerfully. I said up front it was my fault I didn't bring it, and I'd have understood if they said "must present at time of purchase". But they took care of me. I'd shop here anyway because of convenience; the pleasant and helpful staff are a nice plus. read more

This is a great store with friendly staff. I can always find what I need. I drive across Arlington to support a neighborhood store. And sometimes bike. However, something to reconsider is the parking validation for under $20 purchases. Having to spend $20 to park for free in order to visit your store is a show stopper for me now. Sorry, pushed out of shopping in the neighborhood. read more

Great store and staff! I've been coming here since the store opened and always have had great service. Staff is knowledgeable and always eager to help customers. read more

Best Ace hardware. Everyone is always super friendly and helpful. The manager even offered to walk out with me to look at my bike to help determine which screws I needed. I am amazed by the service here. read more

I've been here a few times, and they've assembled one of the most genuinely nice, patient, and helpful staff in Arlington. As for the store itself: keep in mind that this is a neighborhood hardware store, geared more towards smaller dwellings (apartments/townhomes). Don't expect a mega Home Depot/Lowe's experience - this place isn't merchandised in such a manner; nor is it meant to be. For my personally, it's perfect for when I need the most random thing for my condo. Kudos to the management - they've clearly done something right. read more

This store alway makes me so happy! First of all, it is locally owned rather than big business. I go in and there's always an employee who directly approaches me to assist. The store just feels like a big hug! They have a ton of variety (hardware, gifts and novelties, plants, you name it). read more

William went above and beyond while helping me tonight. He is a good and knowledgeable employee. I will continue to go to this store for all my hardware based simply on our interaction. read more

Twins Ace and owner Jeff totally saved me when an unrelated store messed up a gift order -- I called them a few days before Christmas to not only order an assembled Big Green Egg but to hide this 200+ lb item at a neighbor's house...the next day, it was there all safe and sound and with a lovely red bow on it. Jeff went out of his way to help me and that is the kind of attention to detail and care that you do not get everywhere and which made me a big fan of this store. Exceptionally helpful staff and a very clean, neat, and well-stocked store. Make sure you give this outstanding local Arlington business your business! read more

Great service! When I first walked in I was greeted immediately to see if I needed help. The staff was great. They were wonderful with their customer service and I felt like this hardware store had some pretty cool merchandise as well. I bought a multi plug, some electrical tape in multiple colors for work and a book light for when I read. A++ service, friendly staff, and great manager, Jeff Smith. I'm looking forward to coming by whenever I'm in the area to see what new stuff they will have next. read more

This neighborhood has lacked a good hardware store since Virginia Hardware closed. Now it has a great one. Huge selection, excellent sales help, highest quality. read more

Love having a hardware store close by. Conveniently located between courthouse and Rosslyn walking distance from colonial village. Great staff. Very helpful. Also someone ready to help solve projects. I rented a drill for 10 bucks. They have a ton of stuff for s small looking store. Up the street from pier one imports, down the street from court house metro. read more

Ace is definitely the place with the helpful hardware store.. especially this location. Friendly staff greet you when you walk in. Help you find exactly what you're looking for and can explain the differences in products. read more

Super friendly and helpful. Found exactly what we were looking for. Now my hubby can fix his motorcycle.

Today was my first, and probably last, visit to this fine hardware store. I came to pick up a can of paint I had ordered online ($11.65) and also purchased a container of spackle ($4.23). I received a friendly greeting upon entering and was served promptly and efficiently. But when I asked the cashier about validating my parking ticket, I was told "sorry, we have a $20 minimum!" So I ended up paying $4 to park for 11 minutes. I wasn't trying to exploit their parking garage to dine at a restaurant or for other purposes. I was a CUSTOMER, but not treated as such. Unfortunately with their non-negotiable parking validation policy, this store has lost a future customer. Sad, but true. read more

I highly recommend this location based on its customer support. Shopping there was really easy. I had to do a repair on my bathroom. I walked in and was immediately greeted. The attendant pointed me to the aisle with the materials that I need and immediately sent someone with the specific technical expertise to assist me at the aisle. I was in and out of the store within 10 minutes with all of the exact parts needed. read more

Beware of JUDY! Everyone here is very helpful and polite except for JUDY!! We came in 6 min before the closing hour and she was acting like a crazy person raising her voice at us and offending us! So sorry because the rest of the experience here was so nice! read more

Great staff, extremely helpful! I could not open my motion detector to change the battery but got assistance at the hardware store. Was not an easy task but they did not give up :-) a big thank you to Wil, Vincent, Giselle, Ali and Tom!!! read more

Store has great stuff, and feels like it has everything. The employees are fantastic and helpful

Sucks they won't honor craftsman tools unless you have purchased the two from an ace store which is absolutely stupid and then they look at me like you're stupid and when you asked the question why read more

This location is incredibly convenient if you live in the area and don't want to deal with Home Depot. It surprisingly had everything I needed for helping setup an apartment. They were also able to size and cut a wooden dowel I purchased, saving me the hassle of figuring out how to do that within an apt with limited resources. Great addition to the area and saved me a few trips out to 7-corners. read more

Walked in just needing a couple screws to hang something in my apartment. Walked out about 4 minutes later with two perfect screws and about 20 cents less in my pocket. Super helpful and friendly gentleman helped me navigate the well-stocked fastener aisle to get something that would work for my project, and so far they've worked great. Store looked very well-kept and staffed as well! Will definitely return next time I need something hardware/outdoor related. I guess Ace is the helpful place. read more

I received a "welcome to the neighborhood" coupon and off I went to buy what a needed to finish settling in. The store has all the basics of a good hardware store and then the extra aisle with decorations and other unexpected items. I signed up for their customer card and now get coupons to use! read more

I love shopping here. They have the most unique items and every employee is more than happy to help you find any item you are looking for. The store is so clean and bright, it really is a positive shopping experience! read more

Customer service is phenomenal. Bought a Big Green Egg and had delivery questions. Clerk who took the initial call was careful to collect and confirm all of my information and I could tell she was taking my inquiry seriously. The manager called me back almost immediately with all of the details and asked how he could help further. Thank you! read more

There is an older man who works here who was less than helpful. He was berating and demeaning toward me (probably because I am a woman) when I asked him a question, and does not know what he is talking about. He made assumptions that had me fuming by the time that I left and told me condescendingly that I need to 'do more research regarding the projects I was working on' when I asked him for a type of product. His assumptions had little, if anything to do with the question I raised. The only saving grace was that one of the other employees there was trying her best to help me with my inquiry. I am extremely disappointed in the establishment as it is very close to my office and I could have been a great return customer. You can bet that I will never shop at this location again. read more

Shamyra was so knowledgeable and helpful. By far she was so friendly and knew exactly where the item that I was looking for. We even booked ft things we didn't need beacuse she informed us it was on sale even though it wasn't displayed as such! It's a rarity to be fully helped without feeling pressured or pushed these days. You have earned a lifelong customer. I live locally! Go! read more
