“I would like to share the experience I had at our local Whitmore Ace Hardware. 9/5/26: We recently had our roof and skylight replaced on our home. It was up to me to fix the drywall and caulk around the new skylight. I went to my local Whitmore Ace Hardware and told Mikey what I was working on. Mikey took me over to the correct aisle and pointed out the putty knife, drywall patch and white caulk that I was looking for. This took less than five minutes at Ace, and I was back on my way home to work on the drywall around the skylight. The drywall and caulking turned out great, and my wife said it looked perfect. 9/13/26: I was working on a project for my daughter’s wedding. I went back to Whitmore Ace Hardware and spoke to Mikey. She helped us brainstorm ideas on what would be the best way to do this project. Mikey came up with a solution that worked perfectly. Employees like Mikey are why we go to Whitmore Ace Hardware. Our Ace store always has someone available to help you with your issue. I could go to my local Lowes store, but I would never find an employee to help me. In our world of non-existent customer service, it is refreshing to have Mikey at our local Ace store that cares and wants to help the customer. Whitmore Ace has outstanding employees and outstanding customer service.”

“Tried leaving a review on the Lowe's survey site, but I cannot find an ID code in my receipt! So I decided to leave a review here! Ted was exceptionally helpful in flooring, and I went back specifically because of him to order our flooring there! He helped me decide on colors and also gave us lots of info on installation. Purchase process was great! I would highly recommend him!”
