One of my favorite hardware stores. I love all the nooks & crannies and they seem to always have what I need. And you just cannot beat the friendly and helpful customer service, both inside and out!

Friendly staff and a huge range of pretty much everything. They've kindly given me free wood offcuts and piles of invaluable advice.

Everyone who works here is really nice, helpful, and possess a good sense of humor. Though they are not a huge store I do love this place. The garden area is pretty well stocked and for lumber they have quite a lot. It's always a pleasant experience going in here. Thumbs up.

It doesn't look like a big box store, BUT you WILL find everything you may need to build, renovate, or improve your home. Service and knowledgeable staff are very helpful.
