Petworth Ace Hardware is a well-equipped, old-school hardware store located just off the Upshur Main Street District in the Petworth neighborhood. It offers 5,000 square feet of retail space with a wide selection of hardware, tools, plants, and supplies, including a small outdoor garden center. As a local urban store with all the stuff you need for small or large projects, its convenience can't be beat.
The store is truly one of a kind, standing out for its extraordinary customer service. The staff are not just helpful and knowledgeable, but genuinely kind, eager to assist, and offer great advice. They provide a level of warmth, generosity, and care that is rare, going above and beyond to help customers find exactly what they need. The team is in their element, enjoying their work, which makes every visit a pleasant reminder of community.
The store is well-stocked, organized, and super dog-friendly. It is a super chill place for canines and a pleasant local business that supports the community, such as by letting a free bike clinic use its space in the summer. For hardware, plants, or good advice, you won’t find a better place or better people. This little Petworth hardware shop is the bees knees.

Castro is exceptional and friendly. Helped get a stripped screw off the license plate, not expecting anything in return for the kind gesture. 100% recommend this location.
