“ACE Hardware Review

WOW! They really are “The Helpful Hardware Store.” Let me tell you how helpful they are.
I had a problem mounting a TV to a TV stand. I was having an issue with the TV bracket. The screws provided with the mount were much larger than the pre-drilled holes on the bracket, so I had to use smaller screws on the TV.

As I started to mount the TV, the fourth screw would not fit. I searched my supplies of many screws and could not find one that would fit. So, I took the back of the TV and went to ACE Hardware to find the screw I needed.

The first person was helpful, and we went straight to the screw department. We could not find the right screw after testing on their screw finder. Another clerk named Shawna came over and jumped on the problem. She went on the computer and researched the problem. Still, the screw was not identified.

The store manager came over, and still, the screw was not found. Meanwhile, Shawna was still searching on the computer. I suggested the screw and the screw hole were damaged. Shawna finally identified the screw. Then the search began for the screw. Shawna was all over the store, opening many drawers, and finally found the screw. However, the screwhead had a very different head. I said, “Don’t worry, I have every screw bit and would find the right one.”

However, the screw was damaged and wouldn’t fit. I asked if I bought the die, could they rethread the hole. Shawna asked the manager, and he retapped the screw hole, and the problem was solved, thanks to “The Helpful Hardware Store.”

The above process took at least 45 minutes. My purchase was $14.76 for the screws and the rethread die.

So, if you have a hardware problem, no matter if it is large or small, take it to ACE Hardware, and I am sure they will do their best to solve the problem.

P.S. The reason I took the time to write this review was that I was so impressed with the helpful service. Many thanks to Shawna, Garth, Brooklyn, and Jeff.”

“Juan and his team are consummate professionals. They designed and installed a completely custom, master closet for us in a 10x17 space. They were careful to ensure the design met all our wants and needs. We also had them design and install a Murphy bed/bookshelf for my husband's office. Having been a carpenter when he was young my husband is very particular about this type of work. We were very pleased with JAL's workmanship and plan to use them again for an additional project. They are very personable and easy to work with.”

“Wanted to share our fabulous experience with Wildwood Ace Hardware. Have been to the store several times and have always found it very welcoming and helpful. Decided to order a Weber grill from them. They assembled it, called us to tell us when it would be delivered, called us to confirm the time for delivery and delivered it on time. The delivery driver (Jason?) took the time to walk us through the features of the grill, gave us some helpful tips for using it and keeping it clean, and hooked up the propane tank to test it before leaving. Amazing service that went above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks for such a great experience! Highly recommend them!”

“Truly this review is long overdue. We have been purchasing lumber, horse feed, and chickens at Sparr for years. The staff is incredibly patient and their willingness to help far exceeds expectations every time we visit. Today was no exception, as Aubrie took the time to walk us through picking out chickens and answering our many questions, which made for an incredible experience in picking out 8 new family members. Highly recommend!”

“Really nice folks they try hard to find what you're looking for and let you know if you're not satisfied with your purchase just bring it back and they'll try to get it right.”

“Disappointed that they took military discount away on major appliances. Like the wide selection of items and employees are very helpful.
Was at Lowe's today for potting soil and plants. Hey have a large variety of all "stuff". They're always so helpful. I do enjoy shopping there.”
