The people there are very friendly and super helpful. A much better shopping experience then the big box stores. They have everything you need. I have never gone there without finding what I needed. The only reason I am not giving five stars is the girl at the cash register. She is new and very rude. She was short with her answers and just had a disgusted look on her face and acted put out because she could not work the register right. Perhaps some customer service training for her may help.

John at Garrett Ace Hardware was able to do the impossible! I've been carrying around an old paint sample from a different brand of paint that wasn't in the computer system. Five minutes later, he was able to match it and gave me additional stickers with the info on it should I need more. I was very impressed with his customer service!

Went there today to fill a 5 gal propane tank or exchange one.
they wanted $52.00!!!!!!! home depot charged me $28.00.
do not buy from this store! all true value/ace stores are the same. yes staff are nice but price gouging/ripping people off is not. especially not when so many are struggling.
do not buy anything from this place unless you have money to burn!

One of the staff members, Anthony kindly helped me fit a wheelbarrow into my Toyota Camry, even taking the wheel off to make it happen, it was not an easy task. Really nice and helpful people as well as a good selection of products.

In the pandemic shelter in place, you need to cook. So we decided to buy a Weber gas grill. The husband unit called around to see who had the best deal and more importantly who would put the thing together so he didn't have to. Not only did Garrett Ace Hardware have the best price but they assembled and delivered it to the driveway. How long did it take? How about one day? We've done business with Garrett before and we appreciate how courteous and extremely helpful they always are. Even on the phone! This is a local business so let's do the right thing and give them all the business
