“I came in today because I had juat purchased a portable washing machine for my new apartment that doesn't have laundry. I should have done more research on the water connection pieces, as thwre is not a functional adapter for my extendable kitchen sink hose.
Anyways, even though there isnt a part to help me here - the employee I spoke with (Adam) was absolutely and genuinely trying to find other work around for my dilemma. When I walked up and he approached, I was put of breath from health issues and nerves so I stumbled a bit and trying to explain the purpose of my visit. I have worked and been a customer for years and knowing this was likely a fruitless effort - Adam again was patient and honestly just a salt of the earth, willing to help and was concerned about my plumbing issue to go so far as to again try to think of other things I could do to have to not return a 3 cubic ft washing machine to Amazon. I hope the owner sees this - because if I ran a business, Adam would be my first hire.”
“The staff is very friendly and helpful with finding any items. They've helped me problem solve my specific issues. And the store has a surprisingly large number of products available!”
“Ace has anything I need and sometimes helps me figure out what’s needed to complete my project. Always helpful. Been going to ace for over 50 years. Thanks Scott.”
“Tele-Tron Ace Hardware Is it convenient neighborhood store with plenty of parking. Stop in here for Hardware as well as repair parts for home, office or small appliances. They have everything needed to fix or repair plumbing, electrical or drywall. They have seasonal garden plants and winter shovels as Chicagoland gets all seasons. Teletron Ace Hardware staff are always welcoming and helpful when needed.”
“Very happy with recent service from AG. He replaced a plexiglass storm window panel with bent aluminum frame, and the hardware on a sliding storm window panel from a porch door. Relatively small jobs, but he took care to complete the repairs right and at a low price. Communication throughout the process was also great. Highly recommended.”
“Crafty Beaver is always a cut above the big-box home improvement stores!
Personalized, knowledgeable staff, great products.
And their lumber is a better grade...
Shop local!”
“This place is just the best. The prices and selection are as good as and often better than big box stores, and the service is on an entirely different level. They do not hesitate to help with anything you need, from locating items to giving input on products to loading the car. Such a gem!”
“The minute I walked into the store, the gentleman asked me what m looking for, n he started working back n forth but unfortunately he could not find what m looking for n suggested it going to Clark n Devon.”
“I needed a small pane of glass cut. A man helped me out and cut the proper cut. While there I got to chat with another friendly staff person. I walked around to look for a crystal cabinet knob...but they were all out. The man at the cash register was also friendly and wished me a great day. I felt good shopping here to support a local business rather than the big box store. I will go there again when I am in the neighborhood.”
“For truck drivers... entrance is the west gate. Pull up to the gate and call the number posted. Pretty easy backing. Unload time is about an hour. Getting to the delivery can have some tight turns but overall not bad.”
“Excellent service on the lighting department. Number one the array of lighting is so fantastic. Each fixture is work of Art. They have a giant computer screen that you can scroll through to see every and any light fixture on the planet is totally enjoyable. My designer at the store is Katie and she was just perfect for me. Excellent communication, relaxed, friendly made it so easy for me to spend my money at Hortons. I will be back and I highly encourage anybody to come to the store it does say Ace hardware Hortons. The lighting is upstairs and the hardware section is downstairs.”
“King’s Hardware is a true neighborhood gem. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help you find exactly what you need. The store may not be huge, but it’s well stocked and organized. I appreciate the personal service you just don’t get at big chain stores.”
“Doing the best to give my $$$$ to small businesses. Did a price check online, and was surprised to see an item that I needed was half the price compared to Amazon. Though the item was marked a little higher at the store, they price matched!
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL STORE!”

“Was looking for a simple tool to scrape paint from windows. Had tried a few places without success. Popped into Yu, and the gent was a magician. First showed me scrapers for putty from walls. Turned around and he had 3 options for paint. Bought the cheapest one at $7, and it works perfectly!”
“You would be surprised at the stuff they carry. I don't think I have had to go to a big box store in a while. I like that there is always someone to help and they are very friendly and knowledgeable.”
“This an awesome indepenant hardware store with very knowledgeable staff. They literally have everything you could possibly need and more. The prices are extremely reasonable as well. Please come support this amazing independently owned hardware store!”

“Great neighborhood home improvement store for your DIY need or contractors in need of a fast item instead of driving to the other stores. Thank you ACE saved me like 20 min in rush hour driving. Needed Insulation Spray Foam in a can was able to get that with ease and be back home in 10 min. If I choosed to go to the other store it would of been at least a 45min trip”
“They have the best customer service. The 2 guys working when I first came in were super helpful with helping me pick Benjamin Moore paint and the next day the manager even re-made me some gallons after I made a mistake with the paint line I chose. Will do all my home improvement shopping from now on.”
“Stopped in for stilh change saw parts. Unfortunately they didn't have them but the parts guy behind the counter recommended a place to get the parts i needed. They are always friendly at Ace and truly care about customers.”
“I've lived in Roger's Park since 60's and this is the first time I've ever been here. I was overwhelmed. Forgot to take pics inside.Needed keys made. 2 keys, a springy hoop key ring for under $7.00! Boom, Done!Compared to the key Kiosk at the Jewels, $13.50 plus 3 to 5 days shipping, no thanks.Support your local merchants.”
“Here's what I love about Shauer's Hardware: Everything.
From the cast hammer door-pull to the wooden floors, to the back counter where they make keys, it's delightful. They almost always have what I need. The best part is the people who work there. They'll help you find whatever you came in for. They'll help you figure out what you need to get a project done. They're kind and courteous and know their stuff. They've never been patronizing to me (a female DYIer). You don't have to wander around looking for someone to help–THEY find YOU. I always leave there with a smile on my face and my faith in humanity intact. I love this place so much.”
“Locked my keys in my car. These guys helped me to get back in AND didn't want to charge me anything. I forced some cash in them (but not enough).
Still some great people in this world who don't stepping in and helping someone in a bind.
BIG THANKS!”
“Harold’s is probably the best hardware store I’ve ever been to. It’s the anti-Lowe’s. The staff is SO friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Maybe a bit more expensive than bigger stores but worth it.”
“Within minutes of being here, a worker helped me find the very specific random thing I needed. Their selection of items is larger than most other Ace stores I’ve gone to as well.”
“Finally a real hardware store.
Needed a tap to fix threads on a bathroom fixture are he was able to give me the proper size, along with a single 2.5mm hex wrench.
Nowhere else could help me.”
“OTR delivery. Dock is in the back of the building, you go through the main gate, blind side parking, no to much space can be difficult especially if there are more trucks. But nice people and fast service.”
“I always have a great experience at Crafty Beaver. Staff is kind and helpful. For it being a smaller hardware store, they have a lot of stuff and most items I’ve needed.”
“My AC was leaking and had Antonio come resolve the issue. He was prompt and respectful. Fully explained what happened and how to prevent it in the future. As anyone knows it’s difficult to someone you can always rely on but AnyTemp has been my go to for HVAC related issues since recently installing a new furnace for me. All their employees are knowledgeable and take their time to explain what’s going on which is greatly appreciated. Fantastic work and value.”
“I was surprised on how well they sharpened my lawnmower Blade. I know I should have tooken photos before it was sharpened, but man I am glad I took it here to get it sharpened. For only 8$ this was worth it.”
