There is a reason why these guys are still running strong in this day and age of big chains. Their level of personal service and knowledge is second to none. Friendly staff is always ready to help. They stock just about everything needed for home repairs and improvements. Easy to park, get and get out. Quality family owned local business!

I’ve been there a few times. If you can’t find your size screw or the type of material you’re looking for at your big box hardware shop then come here. They have all sizes of screws. The staff was very helpful. Worst thing about them is their hours. Closed at 6pm weekdays and 2pm on Saturdays. Makes my visits quite limited.

Great classic hardware store. I have been going there for 30 years and much prefer it to the big box places. The staff is hugely knowledgeable. I have gone there to buy plumbing fixtures only to have a person in the know sell me a washer and tool for a fraction of the price. Some of that small town hardware store feel is gone now that it is ACE branded but it still beats Lowes and HD. Great paint department. One of the younger adults working paint can have an attitude but mostly everyone is great and they have what you need 90% of the time.

Perfect local hardware store for those last minute projects or unplanned repairs. They have everything you need when you need it. Staff is friendly and helpful. They are really good about letting you just browse on those days that you know you need something but not sure what. Another reviewer somewhere mentioned an unwelcome feeling when they use coupons, but I have not had that experience at all. The coupons are often for items that never go on sale which is really nice.

My daughter bought something’s, I needed,(the wrong things, of course) in the Ace Hardware store in Hoboken where she works. When I tried to bring it back to this Ace store they would not take it! I called Ace and complained and they still wouldn’t take it, even for a store credit. Go the extra mile to HD.

It’s a small store with selection that’s much smaller than HD’s, but definitely easier to get help. However, they don’t participate in the yearly paint giveaway — they«don’t stock» Clark-Kensington paints — and I heard their paint staff half laughing, half complaining about the people who come in with their Ace coupons for the paint while I’m right in front of them. I thought that was in somewhat bad taste, even though it wasn’t malicious. With the limited selection though, I would probably go to a bigger store to make sure I get everything I need in one go.

Any real man needs to know where the closest hardware store is, and for this testosterone driven muscle flexing gopher threatening wolf howling man machine, this galleria of typical suburban tools and fixit things is it. Toilet chain broken? Go here. Shit rolling down the hall and sweeping away women children and pets? Google home depot or a contractor. Trick: if you don’t see what you want, you can order a ton of stuff from their website, and they will ship it to the store for you to pick up for free. So if you testicles demand a 500 lbs snow blower that might normally be $$$ to ship… You get it. I ordered like 20 metal shelves for my basement this way. Beats amazon.

Is it weird to review a hardware store? Oh well… I’m pretty new to the homeowner role so I go here almost every other week or so it seems. The staff is always helpful and they have pretty much everything you could need except maybe lumber. Their selection isn’t the greatest but it’s much more convenient than going over to Home Depot and battling the crowds and long lines. Plus they’re open on Sundays! We’ve ordered online a few times and had stuff shipped to the store for free shipping and this has worked out very well. Their garden/lawn section could use a bigger selection but it’s not a big store so there’s a tradeoff for convenience.
