Paint, cleaning products, llightbulbs, bird seed, key copies, even snow blowers. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable. You will always be greeted when you enter the store. They have a rewards program as well so you can earn discounts over time and get notified of sales. Check it out! read more

After a disastrous, month-long experience attempting to order a grill from Lowe's, we decided to try our luck with Ace. Ordering online was easy and they had exactly what we were looking for - a Weber grill with free assembly and delivery. We ordered on a Monday and delivery was expected that Wednesday - so FAST. Well, we received a call from them on Tuesday indicating that they've assembled the grill and would we like it early/that day! Yes, please! They were there within an hour or so and brought it to the patio. We should have just ordered from Ace in the first place! Lesson learned. read more

Definitely your friendly neighborhood hardware store! It has a great location, not requiring you to head into the burbs for your home-needs. Happy this is an open and essential business at this time! My dad and I popped in on Saturday morning in search of a few items needed for a renovation project at my place. He's helping us put together large posts and beams, and the weekend project was staining the wood. Ace has plenty of color options as well as different types (oil, water-based, gel, etc). We picked up gloves, rags, brushes, and a tray as well. The store itself is clean and well organized, and the staff are quite friendly -- always greeting customers and offering their help. You can find just about anything you need for inside, or outside of your home. What better time than now to some projects, gardening and mini renovations! read more

This Ace location is a sister of my favorite hardware store, Village Ace on Port Washington Road. A younger, much less helpful sister, that is. I almost always buy something when I go to a hardware store. I usually get my bearings, make a mental list, and start shopping. This visit started the same. A friend and I were walking by, when he asked if I had been to this new location. When we got in, the cashier greeted us and asked if we'd been to the store before. I said, "no" and he offered help if we needed any any. This is the Ace that I know. On the way to the rear of the store, I stopped a few times, spotting three things I'd pick up on my way out, I remembered I'd needed a spigot for an outdoor hose. In the plumbing section, I found a clerk standing at a counter. When I asked, he said, "Aisle 15, far end, left side." I easily located some options, but mentally noted that the 'older sister' would have accompanied us to the spot, likely helping with the selection. When I found the area, I noted plenty of options and good stock. But I also noted there are two sizes, .5 and .75 inches. Though I didn't know which I needed, I was confident Ace staff would sort it out for me. The older sister always does. I approached a second clerk, another guy in his 40s, and asked which size was likely the one I needed. He said he'd have no idea. Period. The store is clean, organized, and apparently well stocked. But when my friend and I left empty handed, we asked each other what had happened to the helpful hardware staff reputation. I may be back, but first I'll go to visit the older sister, perhaps waiting till this one grows up. read more

This is a quaint Ace hardware and it almost looks like a converted home.  The manager told me it was a converted Salvation Army store.  There is a tiny parking lot out front that holds 3 cars but they also share an adjacent parking lot with the adjacent business to the north (a mom and pop restaurant I think).   This wasn't obvious to a first time visitor but maybe this will help a Yelp reader.   I was just running an errand to pick up a widget for the son and as usual the Ace Hardware staff was helpful as they are at all of their franchises. read more

Recently I needed a key duplicated, and, to save time, I decided to use the machine at Pick 'N Save. Whatever I paid, it was wasted money: The key absolutely, positively did not work. So I tried Home Depot. Same thing!. Finally, I tried Ace, right up the street. Success! It was as if some angel were telling me:SHOP LOCALLY! Though the store looks small, it's quite deep, and full of useful stuff. I bought some pumice stones there that removed a stubborn stain from some porcelain when nothing else did. They also have off-street parking, a boon in this neighborhood. read more

Great neighborhood hardware store, and much needed in the area. I went in to the hardware store to find a nut to fix a lamp, and not only did the person working find the nut for me, he personally fixed the lamp by hammering out a stripped screw and reinstalling all of the new hardware. At the end of the interaction I had a lamp working as good as new for a grand total of 37 cents. I highly recommend this spot for your hardware needs. read more

David is wonderful, as is his staff. I bought a tomato plant a few weeks ago that was as long as my elbow to wrist. Now it's taller than me and we have three babies! Tomatoes, that is. I came in for a cage and they were supposed to come in today. Hope he'll save me one. They're just so good with stock and people and even let me take my old dog in for petting. We live downtown and it helps not to have to go to the 'burbs to a box store for things we need, like extra screws for a towel rack. Z and I can just walk there. After American Apparel closed for good, this is the coolest store on the street. read more

Stopped in yesterday. Such a great use of the existing space. Great addition to the neighborhood. Very friendly staff. They didn't have exactly what I wanted - a non typical sized curtain rod - but they did offer to order it for me. I ended up getting somewhere else. However, I will definitely be shopping here more often. read more
