“I LOVE this place! Awesome and knowledgeable staff! Kieth and Glenn and most of the staff get 5 stars! But I’ll never forget one of their employees , Michelle , around the store demanding I put a mask on! Safety first! Those were trying times I never want to go back to! Thanks Michelle! You’re 10 stars!!!”
“I initially called the store to inquire about a welder and left a message with one of the staff. Juan returned my call within a couple of hours with very helpful information. When I arrived at the store the next day, Juan continued to help me put my order together with a package that saved me money and was optimized for my needs. A first-class experience with the best customer service and friendly people.”
“The coolest store in Orlando. There are two sides to skycraft, stuff you know they will always have and stuff you can't imagine where they got it from. Really a must see if you are any kind of hobbiest. Oh yea, don't forget to look up when inside the store, the ceiling is full of neat stuff. Now with some of the contents of Radio Shack”
“I always get helpful service and products. Ace is the place...Jerry is the best. Most of the employees are very knowledgeable and helpful. There is a really cool chic in paints.”
“I am visiting a friend and this was the closest ace to her house and I just want to say how absolutely wonderful Ethan and Frank were! Ethan helped find me a cleaning item and Frank made my day by making funny jokes. He also gave me tips on some things which I will be using in the future! Samantha was a sweet and bubbly cashier that definitely made you walk out the door smiling! Next time I’m back in town I am DEFINITELY coming back to this Ace!”
“Harbor Freight is another great store. It's never let me down and I continue to go back ... Harbor Freight on Colonial is a good one. Fully stocked great staff ... 👍”
“This is a awesome paint and supply store they know there stuff and if you need advice or have questions they are happy to help been using them for about 15 years they take care of any problems right away a friendly staff and years of experience 😉”
“This store has everything I need, and geeat help. The items are always in stock. They even helped me use my app for extra discounts. The entrance is the second driveway. There are only about 7 or 8 parking spaces. I like to shop when it's not rush hour traffic times to get items fast and easy.”
“We just love Raining Roses and the whole Raining Roses Team! We have been so lucky to work with this team for over a decade in Central Florida. Jesus and Walter are the most visionary, creative and amazing florists in town. One of my favorite things about them is how detailed and creative they are and it really shows in what they do. The passion behind the art really reflects and makes them one of the best vendors in Central Florida.”
“If you know, you know! Harbor freight for the wind always! Harbor freight has come a long ways since I first started turning wrenches 35 years ago back then it was cheap Chinese tools. You could use one or twice and throw away now my toolbox and shop is full of harbor freight”
“My boyfriend and I stopped in just to peek around and honestly Larry was so welcoming such a sweet man and very knowledgeable to everything he has in his store. So sad to hear from him he will be retiring. I’d suggest everyone to stop in everything is mostly 50% off and has pretty much anything you need to repair your home.”
“Galaxy Renovations came highly recommended from a trusted friend and I'm so thankful we went with them! Harris is extremely organized and professional, and his team is very knowledgable and experienced as well. Such a pleasant experience from end-to-end. Our kitchen has never looked better! Can't thank Harris and his team enough! Looking forward to working with them again for any future renovation needs~”
“I had a wonderful experience at this Ace Hardware today. I went in needing help with a paint issue, and the service I received was absolutely fantastic. Taylor helped me out, and he was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and professional in helping me sort through my options. The entire team there is so helpful and genuinely cares about providing great customer service. It’s clear they take pride in their store and their community. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my future home improvement needs—highly recommend! An addition…my puppy Lacey absolutely adored everybody with their sweet love to her. ❤ thank you 🙏”
“Im Leo with Promised land solutions; I have had very good experience having all my surfaces cleaner repair at this shop, also love the fact that they always have pressure washers and surfaces available for sale . Great place that I recommend 100%”
“My computer repair and IT services shop is just on the next block over on Waltham avenue and I run over here to Pine Castle hardware all the time for whatever random part that I may need to fix something at my office and they always seem to have whatever it is I need amazingly enough for not being some big huge hardware store like Home Depot. I like that I can walk in and someone will always greet you and help you find whatever it is you're looking for so you don't have to spend five times as much time finding what you want.This is the way all stores used to be, until we lost our way, now there's not many like this anymore.”
“Angel Ortiz helped me comb through many shades of the color I was interested in and was happy to chat through undertones and lighting. I will definitely be heading back here in the future.”
“They are great, I have been their customer for years and I couldn't be happier. Alexandra at the front desk, knows EVERYTHING about shower hardware, plus she's super friendly.”
“Last week, I experienced the worst travel day of my life so far. My trailer blew two tires, and we had already used the spare earlier that day. We rolled into the Northern Tool parking lot desperate for a solution that didn't involve leaving our trailer in some random storage lot in Orlando. My partner and I walked into the store and were immediately greeted by the kindest associates. Drake F helped us find replacement tires, a jack, an impact drill, and every other thing we needed to patch up our trailer so we could finish our 9-hour-turned-into-25-hour drive. Everyone at this store helped us turn a horrifying situation into a relatively easy fix. We could not have fixed the trailer up as nicely as we did without the help we received from these associates. If you ever need tools, tires, or anything in between in the Orlando area, this is the store you need to go to. Thank you for all of your help!”
“A really good Ace, lots of stuff, just about anything you need around the house, car, fishing, bbq and lawn. Great knowledgeable staff. If they don't have it in the store they will get it for you!”
“Can’t say enough good things about the entire crew here at Ferguson on church. I’ve had many instances where there’s an issue with a complicated order and they would find a way to pull through. This branch can get busy but the team works at a steady pace and everyone gets assisted with professionalism. Whether you’re talking with Kevin, Jeremy, Dave, or Eric, you’ll receive 5 stars level headed guidance. I now order exclusively through this branch. They are always helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended.”
“I love these guys! Knowledgeable, friendly with a great inventory! Had a coil I needed when all other suppliers were out! Jason, Lee and Colin! You three are the best!”
“Can't say enough great things. Ordered from a different branch and the items were sent incorrectly. Steve and Julie were rockstars and resolved my problem in 15 mins to get me the hardware I needed.”
“I own a kitchen remodeling business and use multiple product suppliers. Imeca is very special in that it is typically the most competitively priced for your average small contractor and homeowner. Most other companies have inflated retail prices for homeowners and heavily discounted prices for Contractors. Any homeowner or small contractor should be going to Imeca!”
“Thank you, Oswaldo, for taking the time to show me the different options for my vanity faucets. You were very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful throughout the process. I truly appreciated your guidance, and you made choosing the right faucets much easier. Excellent customer service!”
“Great supply house with knowledgeable staff and good inventory. They always help track down what we need and keep our jobs moving. Highly recommend for contractors and homeowners.”
“OTR drivers - It can be a little tight for backing. If you’re able to, use the space in the lot under the trees to either off set or straight back for Dock 1-4. 5-6 are real tight because of the car park area. Was loaded up and out in about 30-45 mins. Crew was nice.”
“Sean was extremely thorough and made sure every part of the system was working properly. His professionalism really stood out, and the door has never worked better.”
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.
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.
Ace Hardware is hammering out an impressive growth story. The retailer-owned cooperative is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a bang, reaching 5,000 U.S. stores and planning to open 200 new locations in 2024. The company hit a milestone when it opened its 100th new store this year in Henderson, Nevada. Another newcomer, Fixit Ace Hardware in Roswell, Georgia, became the 5,000th domestic Ace store.
In the latest move of its growth plan, leading paint maker Dunn-Edwards just opened 17 new retail locations throughout Northern California. This expansion of physical stores boosts the company's footprint in the region by over 50%.
The expansion caps an exciting time for the nearly 100-year-old company. With its 100th anniversary in 2025, Dunn-Edwards is strengthening its market position through planned growth focused on better serving pros, homeowners and employees.
