“I've been spending money here for almost 15 years. I've seen the staff go above and beyond to help. I've bought pipe and conduit and had it cut so it would fit in my car. I've had help locating items. They keep candy bars in the cold pop fridge in the summer. I've always been well greeted and well taken care of here. Their cat is polite to customers.It is nice to have a hardware store in town and I'm looking forward to another 15 years of doing business with them. I'll be 80 by then.They carry some fishing tackle, plumbing parts, yard trash bags, nuts, bolts, screws, nails, rope, chain, caulk, yard tools, hand tools, sand, salt, paint, muck boots, wire, outlets and lots of other stuff.Their prices and hours are very reasonable.To you people that gave 1 and 2 star reviews, I don't know if we have been in the same store.”
“The staff is very helpful and very informative. Friendly too!! It's a small town store without the high prices, I looked at everything and I thought the prices were in line with box stores give or take a few cents. Save your gas and shop here, awesome selection and an awesome staff!”
“Shout out to Andrew Arnburg and EBC! We had been looking for the right kitchen cabinets and were so surprised to find them so close to home! Andrew was a one-stop-shop for our whole remodel. His expertise, suggestions and guidance were invaluable and we couldn't be happier with the results. No need to travel far for quality products and service! Thanks again, Andrew!”
“Great experience with Waukee Hardware & Rent-It Center. Home Depot was out of aerators, but they had one available right away and at a better price. Staff was helpful and made the process easy. Highly recommend!”
