“Strange review here, but I am a 20 year old female and my headlights both went out at the same time traveling at night. I live about 3 hours away and I stopped here for help. I arrived 25 minutes before close and every worker came out to help me with my car. They spent about 45 minutes checking my fuse boxes and headlights as well as charging my phone. The workers here are more than kind and extremely willing to help a stranger in need. I recommend Glen Echo Hardware store for all of your needs.”
“My experience with Ace Hardware is solely from where I grew up in CT. This is a lot different, in a better way (I guess that’s a subjective thought). I was “used to” an unorganized place full of actual hardware from a-z as well as a lot of indoor/outdoor paint and a paint mixer. In short, I was used to Ace hardware being targeted at real handymen in the midst of a project and in need or something very specific.This store is like “a little of everything” for every part of your apartment. It’s walkable from a lot of apartments around here, and it sells all sorts of things you might need in your apartment (you don’t need to be a handyman or hardcore DIY-er to find a bunch of useful things). A huge variety of things you might need in a pinch. Granted, most are really overpriced, but I wouldn’t complain because it’s all about convenience and location. If you complain about the prices, go ahead and drive into Virginia, lose an hour of your day and walk up and down a huge store. Overall, the convenience and variety in this store is worth slightly higher prices. Nice people, as well.”
“The level of customer service here is excellent. I have a retrofitted grooming van with all kinds of custom hoses and fittings. One of them broke and I had a major leak. I explained my problem to Mike and he was able to retrofit a toilet supply line, a hose barb, and clamps to create what I needed. He cut and fitted everything on the spot. I will be coming here for all my hardware needs in the future.”
“This is a small neighborhood hardware store but they keep an impressive array of hardware, tools, paint, garden, and "lifestyle" items for most DIY projects. Where the big box stores are geared to accommodate contractors, Annie's aims for the individual and their residence. Staff is always friendly, the store is well staffed for their size so there's always someone available for questions or assistance. I really appreciate a hardware store that can still operate in the neighborhood without leveling 15 acres. Factoring in my time and general frustration with large box stores, the prices for a quick trip down the street are competitive with other options.”
“My favorite thing about this place is they are kind to hardware dummies. No condescending tone no matter how clueless the customer. Plus someone always on deck to help you find something as soon as you walk in. Shelves always fully stocked -- and don't be fooled by the seemingly small size of the storefront. Plenty more supplies in back, next door in the paint store and upstairs in housewares.”
“It's a small jar but a little goes a long way! I'm having fun trying it on different colors to see which I like it on most. Excited to redo furniture next! It's so pretty!”
“I rarely write reviews for restaurants, and have never written one for a hardware store, but the folks at Glover Park Ace Hardware have forced my hand. They carry literally anything you could hope to buy at a hardware store (and many things you wouldn't expect) and virtually every employee I've interacted with there over the years has been kind, friendly, and helpful. They have set the standard for hardware stores in the area!”
“I'm always very happy with my experience from the Sherwin Williams Silver Spring store. All of the staff are incredibly nice and professional. From my most recent purchase, they went the extra mile and dropped my order off for me.”

8121 Piney Branch Rd, Silver Spring“I'm a new customer to Regal Paint Centers. I usually go to the big box stores for paint. This time, I needed a speciality paint called Romabio masonry flat and Regal was one of the only local retailers who had it in stock. They also color match and tint the paint on site. I received excellent customer service from Jose and the staff at Regal Paint Centers in Silver Spring. Jose went above and beyond to provide advice and direction for my project.”
“I know there are not many neighborhood hardware stores but I appreciate having one nearby. This one has a great array of products and a nice and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend it!”

2200 University Blvd W, Wheaton“I've never met a more helpful, knowledgeable staff. I was looking for a color to paint my shutters, and had no idea where to start. The staff, especially Anthony, the manager, guided me every step of the way and made the process painless. I will never go anywhere else for all my paint and related needs!”
“I had a great experience coming here. Especially getting knowledgeable feedback from Jalen - he was very helpful providing tips on how to fix and what to use for my DIY project. I came here a bit nervous and left feeling confident and hopeful. Thank you again Jalen ??”
“We have used Color Wheel for decorating services for many years. Their service has always been outstanding. Recently we had a problem with wallpaper we ordered through them. Color Wheel worked with the distributor and got a quick and fully satisfactory solution to the problem. They are an indispensable local small business. We will continue to use them for our decorating needs.”
“This shop’s services is always great. Today I am so impressed by Brendon W.. He is very patient and kind to assist me finding an order history of a unique painting color I ordered two years ago.”
“A hardware store like they used to be! You can get pretty much anything you need here. They also have a plant shop attached. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, I have always had positive experiences and left with everything I needed (and then some ?). This place is a DC classic and I highly recommend it for household needs.”
“Go-to retail shop for all things creative and DIY. Especially if you are one to look for inspiration in-person rather than on Pinterest, you should wander here to find your next project. Kensington has a street dedicated to antique retailers, consignors and upcyclists which goes by "Kensington Antique Row." More information can be viewed at: kensingtonantiquerow.com.”
“Johnny at Rockville store was super helpful and patient with me, he's the best, they don't have the product I was looking for and he called 2 diferent location and founded for me. I'll always appreciate that.”

1201 Franklin St NE Ste A, Washington“Very clean store and plenty of staff. Dedicated parking right in front.
I spoke with Stephen on the phone this morning and he pulled the paint and mixed it while taking my CC info and looking for a coupon for me! This isn’t the store closest to me, but I might go back for my big spring project in May because the staff seems on point.”
“Just visited this store to pick up an online order. The staff, whose name is Raven, was super nice, smiling all the way. Very impressive! I will definitely visit this store again for future projects. Thank you, Raven!”
“Phenomenal customer service. Steven listened to what I was asking for and guided me to the right options. In and out in no time. I will absolutely come back to this store in the future.”
“I’d like to send a special thanks to Ronald for his advice, he was nice and INCREDIBLY helpful with determining which specific paint and sheen I should apply in my bathroom and foyer. At first I was a tad bit skeptical but after my painters were done I was extremely pleased!!!”
“I have chosen Sherwin Williams primarily due to the exceptional team and outstanding customer service they provide. Ever since I established ADC Construction here in DC, I have been relying on SW for my business needs. They have been instrumental in assisting me with numerous projects, especially when it comes to sourcing special paints that may be difficult to find on my own. Previously, I used to visit the Franklin St store, where I first had the pleasure of meeting George. George's presence truly set the standard for the level of service I have come to appreciate from SW. When George transferred to the store near H St, I made the decision to relocate my business to this location as well. Compared to my past experiences at this particular store, which were not always satisfactory, I have noticed a significant improvement in service and overall experience with George at the helm. I am eager to witness the continuous growth and enhancement of this store as I continue to be a loyal customer.”

5023 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington“Love store and the people who work here! Alexes is amazing, so helpful with recommendations and taking care of everyone so nicely. This is my paint store of choice!”
“Ordered paint online then needed to pick up a few extra supplies in the store. Staff was super helpful even as they were training a new person. Good vibes, great help, and confidence when I asked for suggestions. Will be coming back here.”
“This is one of the best Sherwin Williams stores in the DC area region. The excellent customer service, quality of their products and store team's experience make a great difference over their competitors. We have purchased paint and materials for our projects multiple times, and we could not be happier. Associates like Abel and the entire team make this store truly outstanding.
