“This store is awesome, Molly and Ashley and their staff are very knowledgeable and carry a wide variety of products at great prices. If your in the Winsted area I definetly recommend stopping in.”
“This hardware store has been around for at least 56 years, because I remember going there as a kid. They're the perfect place to go or call if you need an honest opinion about the best route for repair or purchase. It's a blessed thing to have a local hardware store with honest people. Let's keep a good thing going!”
“I had to stop by Carls True Value for a business related visit and Assistant Manager Mike was very helpful. (And they have lots of cool stuff there too!) I might make a stop there on my own time and pick up a few items. Great place, great workers!”
“Went for 2 dog baths this morning. We love this option. The tub contains our anxious pooch well, plus with everything from soap, towels, blow dryer, even brushes and a rubber apron included so it is well worth the price.”
“In 2004 my wife and I were looking for high quality cabinet hardware for our new kitchen cabinets and decided to go with Colonial Bronze series 192 knobs and series 722 handles in oil rubbed bronze Finish for Life. Now 17 years later, we still like the hardware but some of the most used pieces had developed some minor but noticeable tarnish issues. After a few emails back and forth, Colonial Bronze offered to refinish at no cost to me all 28 that I had purchased so there would be no shade variations between any of them. It only took 9 days from the time I shipped them to get them back done and they look great! Not only did Colonial Bronze honor without issue their product warranty they also provided excellent customer support. You definitely will continue to have me as a customer and I will recommend you to others as well. A special thank you to Kyle Copes at Colonial Bronze who managed my service request.”
“I needed a M8 1.25 in exhaust head bolt and he had them for a very affordable price. Not the song cliche but where have these guys been my whole life I've lived in 12th and not enough for years and have him knew they were here. I hope you find this little gym we have in town they're way more affordable than the local hardware store. I have the extreme pleasure of meeting a gentleman named Josh who is extremely helpful. He told me if I ever got stuck with something that I'm working on they have extractor tools and stuff for sale and to just give him a call. Thanks for keeping the spirit of small business alive.”
“Super friendly staff and a fantastic selection of products made my visit a breeze! I found everything I needed for my home improvement project, and the advice I received was really helpful. I'll definitely be coming back for my future DIY needs!”
“I was so pleased with all of the staff there. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. They helped me with my lighting on my house to help me feel more secure. I would recommend them to everyone. They should be praised for being there everyday through the worst of covid.”
“Shoutout to Desmond for assisting me with a chaotic late night dryer problem! He was very accommodating and patient and I would have walked out with the wrong part if he didn’t offer his help.”

Ace Hardware is reimagining itself with a new store concept. The home improvement retailer plans to invest over $1 billion in the next five years to roll out "Elevate Ace" across new and existing locations. The revamped stores will feature brand showrooms, expanded product lines, and enhanced customer service. Some locations will even boast outdoor spaces with live plant displays. Ace gave retailers a sneak peek at the concept during its recent Chicago convention. While a few stores will debut the new look later this year, the full rollout begins in January.
