Durst is a neighborhood institution. They have almost everything you could find in a big box store and the quality of help and support you get is unsurpassed.

I was just looking for duct tape and as soon as I walked in this older man was so beyond friendly. I’ll always go to this store

I've been going to Durst for about 40 years. It used to be my Store Of Last Resort because the people were consistently unfriendly and not at all helpful. (Except for the lumber desk, who mostly were A-OK)Things have changed recently. Over the last several months, I've been there repeatedly. The employees are mostly friendlier and most are helpful. On the floor, the person named Al is outstandingly helpful and always cheerful. At the lumber desk, they are helpful, as they always have been. I like dealing with Ron because he's fun to joke around with and always helps me save money. The cashiers are friendly, fast and accurate.Hardware cost wise, Durst is usually a bit higher that other hardware stores, but lower than any Great Lakes Ace. And, some items are cheaper at Durst. Plus, at Durst one can get in & get out quickly.Lumber costs more at Durst than at a big box store, but Durst has good wood. (Well, as good as wood gets these days..) The big box stores keep the wood inside, where the air is conditioned (heated, cooled, dry, humid). That's bad for wood. Durst stores it outside, under cover and properly stacked. Therefore, the project has less waste. In the long run, it's usually cheaper to shop for lumber at Durst despite the higher cost per board foot. Plus, at Durst you don't have to dig through junk wood, nor do you have to load it. They even will cut to spec if desired.As long as the new and improved attitudes stay, I'll continue to go to Durst.

A good place to get that part you just can't find at the big box stores.

This was my first time at this Ace Hardware, I was able to find a blue toilet seat, most places you have to order online . I found some other things. The customer service is always great at Ace Hardware's Stores.

Durst Ace Hardware is something of a landmark in Berkley, not the least because telling someone 'turn right at Durst' gets them into town! They literally have a landmark polar bear and the big old lumber yard thrumming with activity greets me most mornings on my way out and about.The store carries the standard array of home hardware, ranging from plumbing supplies to Purdy 2.5" angled sash paintbrushes and handsoap. A small but fascinating array of Michigan products make for great gifts or stocking stuffers. I'm always finding something interesting when I visit, often of an unexpected need I haven't thought about in a while. The old-school feel of a hardware store applies here, making it easy to get lost in the long aisles and emerge in a Hallmark movie on a rainy day. Seriously, you can really find a few gems exploring the long, narrow shelves!Employees are great, catering to questions from me as a befuddled non-handyperson and clearly dealing well with the experts too. Never had a time where someone wasn't willing to throw in to help out.Always check their hours! Durst seems to magically close 5 minutes after I realize I need something from them. Their fenced lot has gates, so if they're closed, they mean it!

Saved me money with some great recommendations and didn't oversell me. Cut my boards and loaded my vehicle. Excellent service. Hometown feel!
