“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.????”
“OUTSTANDING PRODUCT FOR GRAVE STONE CLEANING DIY . The D2 cleaner and kit made the stone look new again . I cleaned it in October 2024 and because this product keeps working , I returned in December 2024 and was extremely happy with the results ADDING TO MY REVIEW SEPTEMBER 2025 : Still looks like brand new , even though it's been there since 1955”
“This was my first ever visit to Petersen's Hdwe. In terms of my visit. From start to finish everyone was very professional and provided me with excellent customer service. I am not a local resident. However if the need arises, I will definitely stop by Petersen's Hardware again.”
“Love love love these old shops . Has tons of great weird shit. It's not orange or blue so that's worth four stars right there. People are nice, slightly expensive but everything is these days. And if you just need three screws you can just get three screws you're not going to have to pay $14 for a box that you'll never finish. I got a knife sharpener. Pretty happy with it.”

“We recently remodeled our master bathroom and purchased all the hardware from Bender, Hartford, CT. Bender carries such a wide range of products that the choices may seem overwhelming! However, Melissa, provided all the necessary insights in a convivial manner without any sales pressure. We strolled through the store, reviewed individual choices, and asked multiple questions, enabling informed decisions. Without Melissa's guidance, we would have been lost! While the prices may be slightly higher than perhaps a hardware store, the service and access to expert knowledge, easily compensate for the difference. Once again, many thanks to Melissa for all the help and commitment to customer satisfaction. Keep up the good work!”
“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?”
“Brian C did a fantastic job in recommending and installing our gorgeous Graber cellular shades. The process was so easy, from design, to measurements and installation. We highly recommend CT Lighting for window treatments in addition to lighting and decor!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Darren and Harry at Airgas on multiple occasions, and I can’t say enough about their outstanding customer service. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure all our needs are met. Whether it’s answering questions or offering expert advice, they are always professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. It’s rare to find such dedicated individuals who truly care about their customers. Darren and Harry make doing business with Airgas a seamless and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend their services!”
“Fair prices that get dropped every week. Inventory changes frequently so it's worth being patient and returning if what you want isn't there the first time you go.”

“This is beautiful store with everything you could want or need with good staff. The product you find is only the best of its kind and the atmosphere really reminds you that you are in a serious carpentry and woodworking establishment for goods and like supplies.”
“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.”
“Such a great shopping experience. The staff were both friendly and helpful. It was a positive experience from getting pointed in the right direction to being met at the door as I was returning my cart. I definitely plan on making return visits to this store.”
“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”
“Love harbor freight and the lower cost quality tools are great. The fact that I have to pay to get the sale is wrong. So this forced me to buy name branded tools with full warranty for life without confusion”
“2nd time visiting and both times I had such a wonderful experience! The workers are happy to help and very knowledgeable. They helped me save time and money! I recommend Rutkowski's to everyone, I know you'll be back if you go!!! They also make copies of keys here as well!! that work!!! Thank you guys!!!

“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.”
“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.”
“Cute store with both practical and also fun items. If you're going to require a STORE NUMBER for the survey, though, it might be a good idea to include that on the receipt so we don't have to look it up ourselves online only to have Google give you the wrong answer.”
“Absolutely amazing one stop shop for all your building and construction projects. From all different types of flooring, to custom handmade tile with the most amazing detail I have ever seen, a extremely large stock of stone countertops, appliances and more. If you are building a new home, or remodeling I would suggest stopping into at least look around. They have so much to offer it is unreal. Their staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable. Great place!”
“At first it was a little difficult to find someone that works there to help me but once I did find someone they were very helpful. I got a carpet for my living room for 1.28 per square foot and its fluffy and soft. Great carpet for a great price. Its a great place to save money on home improvement supplies.”
“I had the best experience recently at Ace. I was looking to buy the new 30” Ego Lawn Mower, and searching online inventory was extremely low across the State, with the nearest one in Stamford. I called Ace and Kathie picked up and immediately was able to help and told me she would keep an eye out for the next time one was available and reserve it for me. Well she worked her magic because later that day she tracked it down, and they had it delivered to my house a few days later. Fantastic experience and customer service!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I’ve been using Coastal Tool and Supply for years as my tool supplier and they are very knowledgeable about the products, told me about tool repair warranties that I wasn’t aware of and had repairs done with the warranty on tools I was going to decommission and the tools were repaired and are back in service! Coastal is much more customer oriented and less expensive than the big box stores. I’ve worked with their rep Aaron McFarland many times and he is outstanding and extremely knowledgeable. When you need tools and great customer service, I recommend talking to Aaron and going with Coastal Tool & Supply.”
“Brought an old shower diverter . A very knowledgeable woman helped my fond my replacement ....part was spot on it helped me finish my job efficiently .....would highly recommend!!!”
“Experienced, knowledgeable counter staff, lots of merch for any kind of contractor. Good selection of quick-connect bits, big brooms, acoustic ceiling supplies and tons more. If it's busy you might have some waiting time. Buy in the front showroom, pick up larger supplies in the back building. The warehouse workers are great too, fast.”
“Great service. Called in for TWP product to stain my cedar siding and they knocked everything out of the park. Everything was ready when I arrived, in and out, great service.”
