“The best customer service I've had in a long time! Judd and Dave were wonderful! I needed an adapter to go from a sump pump to a garden hose, but my sump pump was an unusual size. They took the time to go thru multiple scenarios to rig this up. In the end, Judd found pieces to work, and then took it further and actually took my pump and the rigged pieces to the back and put them together for me to make sure it all fit properly, Teflon tape included so it wouldn't leak. It was a wonderful experience and I just wanted to put this out there and let Judd and Dave know they are very appreciated! Thank you!”
“If you need your mower worked on, Dan does a great job! He knows how to fix anything on your mower. He's honest and is reasonable on his pricing. I highly recommend Dan to fix your mower and you can be sure it is done right.”

“Porter Hardware is a hidden (or not so hidden) gem of Des Moines!My husband and I live in Altoona and do a lot of home and yard projects but don’t have the space or money for a slew of specialty items, so I was thrilled to learn we have such a great rental resource just down the road. They offer an unexpectedly vast array of tools, services, and equipment for rent or purchase for almost any kind of home & yard project we could hope to tackle (which so far has included chainsaw maintenance, tree trimming, wood chopping, lawn aerating, bathroom remodels, & pouring concrete pads just to name a few,) and every employee I’ve interacted with at the store or on the phone has been very friendly and helpful. The tools and machines we’ve rented have always been in good condition and the pricing is fair; basically all the amenities of a big box store with the atmosphere of a mom & pop.”
“100% recommend! Straight to the point, helped me over the phone best he could. Picked up my mower for me out of his way, did what he could. Ended up with a new mower that he recommended and worked on! Loved that he was solid with the information and in a timely manner, these guys are awesome! Signed -future customer.”
“This is a great full-service hardware store. I've had them cut glass, and it is always perfect. I also had them repair a broken storm window. I expected it to take a week because I saw the pile of work that they had in the backroom, but I got it back in two days. A+.”
“Earlier today our garbage disposal broke. My husband and I came in and a older gentlemen helped us and with his advise saved me about an hours worth of work. I wish I got his name but he did say he was a plumber. He's honestly the goat and should get a pay raise!”
“Had a customer service issue on 02/11/25. Went to the SE 14th store in Des Moines to get it taken care of, or get the best advice.
The issue was handled fast and promptly, with a friendly smile. Even asked me afterwards if there was anything else I needed assistance with. Wow, what service in a home improvement store!!
I have been to menards, lowes, and other Home depot's in the west des moines and urbandale area (where I usually shop), and never, never have I received friendly service like I did yesterday. just wow! This was the first time I shopped at this location. So, it was a great first impression.
It is with good reason, that I will be shopping at this location from now on! I dont care if I have to drive a little extra miles! thank you Griselda (person who assisted me), and the SE 14th home depot!!”
“We have bought our first place and Lowe’s has been our place to go for everything. From plants to tools, everything has been a reasonable price or cheaper than other places. We have bought all our appliances from here with no damages or mishaps. Everyone there has been super friendly and has offer solutions to problems we have been facing. We will be hiring them to do our flooring in the next couple of months. Five out of five stars!”
“We recently visited menards and specifically the ceiling fan section. There was a gentleman that was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We walked out blown away by his customer service .”
“Carlisle Hardware has been an asset to the community. They assist with questions, make suggestions, and share their knowledge with customers. When I inquired about local contractors they made a solid referral to one. Their willingness to support other local businesses brings unity to our community.”
