“BEYOND explanations, today made a quik stop to get my trailer in compliance with DMV inspection and the employee, not only help me find the items I needed but also allowed me to borrow some tools. It was the first time I visited the store and i was impressed with the quality of service. Kudos to the lady at the counter and the man helping inside on the floor.????”
“I needed a knob for my shower and I went to home depot 3 times and then I went to Lowes 2 time and then I went to Tocco supply in East Windsor and still nothing. Then I was talking to a older guy at a gas station and he told me about Peterson Hardware store, he assured me that I would find what I was looking for there. So I checked online and I saw that they had what I was looking for but I was a little skeptical at first because you always can't trust the internet. But I gave it a shot and went to the hardware store and was greeted by a very nice guy who got exactly what I was looking for he was friendly and very helpful. Just want to say thank you to all of the staff at Peterson hardware store.
Thank you again”
“Scott and his team are the best. They are attentive, knowledgeable, and courteous. For a small store, it it surprisingly well stocked, clean, and well organized.
On top of that, Scott is a huge supporter of Windsor, always helping out. Can I give them 6 stars?”
“So nice to have a friendly neighborhood hardware store. We had a equipment question and they worked on it for quite a while until they found the solution! Especially Faith!!! Thank you so much!!”
“Excellent lighting store with more than enough options! They also have decor and other home needs.I personally used them to do a restoration of a 50+ year old lamp. Price came out to much less than I expected and the lamp is now in perfect working order. Highly recommend for lamp restoration/repair.Employees are welcoming and kind. The store is pet friendly. Parking lot is a shared lot.”
“Always find what I'm looking for & only buy what I'm looking for ( although regularly find something gotta have) guys in there always helping with stuff to be loaded.
Gotta love it ?”

“I bought a used tool that had a wood handle. It was rusty and a mess. It had a weird looking wood handle and looked really old. I was hoping to have it identified by its strange wood. I called woodcraft because I live in manchester. They asked me to take pictures of the wood and email it them. They took the time to research the wood, they then identified it and said it’s a very rare brazilian wood that’s around 150
Years old. They did all this work knowing nothing was in it for them. 5 star. Mom and pop personal treatment”
“There's always helpful and friendly staff, they go out of their way to ask if you need anything. Definitely much more convenient than larger store alternative.”
“I could not have had a better experience! I live in Manhattan and had tried three places here to be ghosted by two of them. I walked into Galleria with no expectation and was greeted warmly by Jenuarie and she was fabulous. She was patient in helping me decide what I wanted to do. I thought I could mix tile companies for an accent tile while never considering the exact dimensions of the tiles may not blend. She pointed this out and from that point I changed direction of what I was doing. After picking out tiles we went to the warehouse for the countertop and the first one I saw was the one I wanted. I also learned I need a fabricator which had not been mentioned to me previously. While waiting for sample tiles I saw some beautiful handmade tiles which I now think will be the accent tiles. I ordered one as the company is in California. The rest of the staff was exceptionally kind, helpful and interested in what my plans were when We discussed the hand made tiles. The experience could not have been better. I saw the negative reviews and I can honestly say I can't imagine any of the staff being cold, indifferent or unhelpful. I highly, highly recommend Galleria in Middletown. I just wish we had a place like this in the city!”
“Went in today looking for some staples for a tool and the staff was amazing. While only making a minor purchase they took a lot of time with me trying to find the proper fasteners I was looking for. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend this business.”
“Simply fantastic - bought a garbage disposal on a Tuesday @ Rutkoski's and it was installed by them on Wednesday - perfect - all star 5 star - go there :)”
“A small tension spring broke on my new Ferris mower. I called my closest dealer in MA and they said they didn’t have, didn’t check anywhere else, and said we’d have to order and be a week at least. It’s spring and tons of rain, I couldn’t wait. Called Sudden and gentleman said he didn’t have, but he then checked other locations, which didn’t have either, but he said I could order and since he was already ordering from Ferris he could add to the order. They received it the next day and even took the time to help disassemble their showroom mower to help show me how to install it. Fantastic experience and willingness to help even though I didn’t purchase the mower there. They’ve got a new customer now, thank you folks.”
“I’ve been working with Horton since 1975 when I worked with the owners grandparents. They are the best. Businesses just aren’t like this anymore and it’s sad that more don’t track like Horton’s, always toward the quality”

“I went to Lowe 's to look for a specific towel rack for my parents bathroom. This store is huge. They have all kinds of tools, and items for every part of your home. When I had just purchased my home, I was here pretty much every day, with my dad or my boyfriend looking for something for my house. My screen door is from Lowe's, my living room paint color is from Lowe's, just to name a few.I came across a very friendly sales associate, Jamie who chatted with me for a while and told me they don't have that exact towel rack in store, but I could order it online. This isn't ideal, because I did come to the store to purchase it, but shipping only takes two days.While Lowe's isn't my favorite store, I like going here with someone knowledgeable about the product and their uses. The staff I've encountered has been very friendly and helpful. They sell more then what one might expect from a home improvement store.”
“Harbor freight has come a long way. It's a great place to go if you need to buy a tool that you're only going to use once. They also have some good quality tools now as well.”
“They sell lots of tools at very affordable prices. They are not top shelf quality, but they are certainly not garbage, and for the cost, they are a good deal.They also stand behind their products with a warranty that is no hassle...I have been trying to restock my nitrile glove supply for months, but for some reason, they can't keep up with demand. I guess people must be hoarding. Also, the shelf space is much smaller than it once was, so this is seemingly a contributing factor. I have been buying these gloves here for years now, but ever since the Covid-19 pandemic break out, I can't get them. Auto workers are considered essential, so it would be nice to get my hands on a box. I use them because of grease. For Covid-19, I have been using soap and water or hand sanitizer.C'mon man, get more gloves and stock them fuller (more shelf space), like it used to be.Update (11/13/2020); After several months of frustration, I was finally able to buy a box of gloves... they only had the one box for triple the usual cost I was paying...Update (3/19/23);Looks like they finally got caught up with things. Stock has been replenished.The prices of the gloves are back down to Earth.”
“This is my go to place for most of my hardware needs, it's local and their prices are equal to or lower than the big box hardware stores. Jennifer and Nick are extremely helpful in seeing to my needs , I would definitely recommend them for your hardware and gardening needs.”
“Redone kitchen in last winter. Approached many stores in neighborhoods eventually decided to go with home outlet. Price was one of the factor but that comes with price too. One of the associate helped us designing the cabinets layout and placed order. After 40 days or so got the stuff when installing found that one of the piece is missing . Went to store again then store manager gave me that for free which is great. Luckily it was in stock . Compare to old real wood cabinets new ones are not upto the mark. Trash cabinets were not ordered right , it was missing inside fittings and right door. They refused to give me those for free. I ended up fitting that myself following YouTube as my contractor wasnt available when I got those. After installing after like two months of use one of the door ripped apart from the hinge . Couldn’t fit it again. Went to store again with that door. They said they will speak to supplier fast forward after 8 weeks got the replacement door.”
“It is always a good experience to go to Larsen Ace Hardware. Their product line seems to be well suited to the needs and problems of the average homeowner. - Better than the big box stores. Store associates provide helpful friendly service. The store is neat, clean and well stocked. Also, if shoping online their web site is easy to use and up to date.”
“We wanted to recognize Paul K ( Irishman) who actually stopped and asked if he can help us instead of just walking by and having us track down an employee ( like at Lowe’s). He not only showed us where the products were but gave his advice and recommendations as well. He went out of his way to walk us around the store looking for other things that we mentioned and even offered my daughter a bottle water when she said she was thirsty. It was one of the best service we’ve had , way better than Lowe’s ! You have a great employee in Mr Paul K. I will be coming back to Home Depot over Lowe’s because of your friendliness and helpfulness.”
“Ryan K. in the Millworks Windows & Doors department gives fantastic service. He has helped me choose three doors now over the course of over a year. He goes out of his way to help with orders. He remembers me by name. He is infinitely patient. He’s definitely my go-to for anything door or window related. Thanks Ryan!”
“Jason and Jimmy are great guys who know their industry and everything you will need. As a former business owner in the drywall and ceiling trades, you will not go wrong buying here!! Very competitive pricing and excellent service including delivery if needed. You point and they put it where you want it!!”
“Excellent selection of many types of hardware, from basic to upscale, and knowledgeable sales team has always been very helpful to us in our purchases. A+++ I highly recommend this great store!”
“Truly a gem for machinists in Connecticut. The team here has a great depth of knowledge and an incredible in stock selection, easy to place orders and pick up same day or just go in to grab what you need.Prices are very reasonable, I've often found them to be cheaper than what you can get online.They have tons of specialty tools and advice to get that extra edge for your work that your clients will notice.They really do have whatever you need. Machine coolant, tool holders, specialty aluminum endmills, ball endmills, micro endmills, lathe carbide inserts, shell mill inserts, shell mills themselves, screw machine bits, cutting oils, work stops, vises, etc. and if they don't have it in stock they can get it for you.”
“I've had very good results here over the years. The parts counter guys are knowledgeable and helpful.
I stopped here today to get my parts. I needed to fix a drippy shower. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and helpful. I was in and out very quickly. Nothing like dealing with true professionals…”
“AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Called last minute at Christmas, they made sure they had the tool I wanted since only one was in stock. They shipped SUPER FAST!! Had my order 2 days after ordering without expediting shipping.”
“For serious hardware, and for me, paint supplies, this is the place. Helpful staff, reasonable prices.Weathersfield store on Silas Deane Highway.Would recommend to friends and family.”
