“How do I give this place 6 stars? Very attentive, kind and knowledgeable staff. There has yet to be a single time that I walk into this store and some doesn’t stop me, ask if I need help and point me to exactly what I was looking for. This is what a hardware store shopping experience should be like. Thank you to the amazing staff at Ace. Next time I have to remember to get staff names to add kudos directly to the review.”

“VS menards well stocked but what sets it apart is it's employees are every where and most knowledgeable. Most are from a trade which is invaluable! Plus being a vet i don't have to jump through hoops mailing in receipt or as they count on it forgetting to get 10% off. Do not like current return policy. Even if they stock item you can't even get a store credit if over i guess 30/35$. Unless you have the credit card or receipt. If I kept every receipt I'd need a accountant!”

“Tom at the Lake Zurich Rental center really helped me out. I was planning on renting a sewer rodding machine because my shower was backing up. After listening to my issue tom suggested the issue was in my septic field. Turns out I took the cover off and the tank was totally full. Tom chose to help me solve my problem over the phone instead of just trying to rent me a piece of equipment. I will think of this rental department whenever I need another tool to rent. Thanks again TOM!”

“I had a fabulous interaction with Heidi who picked up the phone when I called! I have a very interesting problem in the form of a 10 pound, intact male teenaged dog who’s taken to redecorating my home. I introduced myself as a residential customer calling on behalf of my busy contractor/installer, and she went right to work— didn’t throw at me a lot of terms I didn’t understand, and guided me to the product that best fit my needs. I felt totally at ease with my choice and a bit more knowledgeable as a junior project manager. She accomplished all of that with a sense of humor. Let me rephrase that, her sense of humor saved the day! Thank you, Heidi.”
