Well done! I strongly recommend this business 👍🏻”

“Like a scaled down version of big box home improvement stores... but feels local. You might not get the widest selection of what you're looking for but you'll find what you need. Staff are actually pretty friendly and helpful. I've been to other stores in the city where they get impatient with you if you're not a contractor. Central location was useful when I needed to run to get stuff for home reno projects.”

I really wanted the order so I called and spoke to a really nice gentleman on the phone and asked if I could provide a prepaid shipping label so they could send the items to me. They agreed! Toby helped me and shipped it out the same day. Best service ever. Thank you so much!”

“Had an awesome experience at Ace Haedware thanks to Robert! I came in looking for some screws so I could mount my new TV. I asked for a specific size (43 mm) but Robert was super knowledgeable and suggested 25 mm. Luckily, I was able to find the exact length of the screw needed and he was right! He saved my night and I'm so glad I popped in as opposed to shopping online at Amazon. Thank you, Robert. You are the best!”

“They did a good job but it isn't the friendliest of shops. I think this shop is able to make almost any key and for that it makes it worth the trip. When I called around they were about the same price as any other locksmith. The best think about this business is that they have an actual store that you can go to. I would recommend it.”

“If you have no other reason to go- this *feels* like a hardware store. I know when I say this I am speaking to a very specific subset of people. However, when I was a kid, my dad would take me with him to the hardware store, and I would get a lollypop while he and whomever from behind the counter would wander around looking for an eyebolt or the right shade of caulk. Giulio- who I assume is the owner, is easily 10 years older than my mom, who lives in the assisted living up the street. My mom can't be bothered to go to the chair yoga we're paying for, but Giulio went to work. He's not totally mobile, but he knows his s#!t. Whenever I come in, he or whoever else is behind the counter is happy to chat through my issue and suggest something. It's not a Home Depot- so they may not have what you're looking for every time- but they have a lot of things, and it makes me happy to know my money is staying local. Also, side story: One day during the summer, it's like 90, and I am behind a contractor who's getting a bunch of stuff - lumber, rocks...I don't know- but he's paying for it, and he grabs some water bottles for him and his crew and puts them on the counter. Giulio totals him up and says a number; the guy says, "Oh, don't forget these waters". Giulio says, "The town where I come from in Italy has the best water in the world, and it flows right off the mountain. If my father knew I was charging people for water, he'd come back from the dead and strike me down. Those are free." C'mon. How can you not go here first?”

“Was in and out in 7min. Jorge is the man. Quoted me over the phone the out-the-door price which I really appreciate. I really dislike when I get a quote over the phone only to show up and find out there's a bunch of fees and other bs. Thanks Jorge! 🤙”

“Ace hardware is my go to hardware store before Home Depot and Lowe's for certain items but for bigger jobs like sheet rock or lumber building materials I'll go to Home Depot but some of the bigger Ace Hardware stores carry everything I would need. I would recommend Ace hardware.”

“Hassett Ace Hardware provides a reliable selection of hardware and home improvement products. The staff is generally helpful and knowledgeable, though at times assistance can be slow during busy periods. Overall, it's a convenient location option for everyday hardware needs. Minus one star only for its parking. It's not super convenient to have a hardware store in downtown, especially when you have large units to move. But overall great store.”
Lowe's is giving its loyalty program a makeover to better serve small and mid-sized professional contractors. The home improvement retailer has changed its MVPs Pro Rewards & Partnership Program into the new MyLowe's Pro Rewards. The updated program aims to make life easier for professionals while offering more benefits from their first purchase.
