“I sell vintage clothing and I atttend a lot of pop up sales. I either forget or break something and I often go to Harbor Freight for new solutions or replacement. The website tells you if an item is available and the people that work there are very helpful. Thanks so much.”
“Had to get my car key fob programmed. The guy at Ace Hardware was pretty friendly and gave me a great deal to program two key fobs; there was no wait—he went right to it.”
“Ace IS the place. Seriously - the folks here help you find exactly what you need. So much knowledge and experience - great service. My go-to hardware store for DIT fix-it’s and chores I do t want to do like having screens replaced. 5 stars!”

“Great experience today. Took my puppy. The manager was warm and welcoming. The manager went above and beyond. She was wonderful at customer service and my puppy. My puppy loves the store but got too excited. The staff was very helpful. Again the manager was amazing. She is a great person.”
“This store is my favorite Harbor Freight location mainly because of it's location and inside item arrangement. But mostly, it's my favorite because of the friendly and helpful service provided by the pretty cashier of color, whose name I do not know. She is just a ray of sunshine to customers. She is a very valuable asset to the store and company.”
“This is a great place to buy tools. The people there are very knowledgeable about tools. Very helpful.
There was one time I had an issue with a rewards gift card not working and the lady did not help with it. But all the other times I've gone there they've been very helpful. Always helped me find what I needed. The tools they have are great quality too. I like the selection they have. And I like the website they have to be able to look at the inventory they have online if I'm looking for a tool and want to save time trying to find it before I drive there. Good tools. Good service. Great selection. Helpful staff.
And they have good deals also.”
“ACE employees are always very attentive, helpful and friendly. I didn't need help this trip, as I was just buying lightbulbs, and I knew where they were and what kind I wanted, but both employees offered help if I needed it.”
“Well stocked, well organized and clean store with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our capacitor in our furnace failed on a Saturday afternoon and it was only 20 degrees outside. I looked online and Ace hardware was the only store in town with the part in stock. I drove across town and this was my first time in the store. The price was extremely fair and I will be back often.”
“I recently placed an online order with a tight window for use to finish up a project. I emailed and asked what day it would be set to arrive, and not only did they go out of their way to make sure it was in time, they paid for the additional cost at no charge to me. 10/10 customer service, and absolutely will be shopping here again. That kind of service is hard to find!”
“Great local hardware shop. They typically have what I need and their rewards program helps them stay competitive with Walmart and Amazon. Plus it's way more convenient then trying to find something in the bigger hardware/ home improvement stores.”
“Always super friendly and helpful! Last night I had a plumbing issue. I called 5 minutes prior to closing and they confirmed they would stay open for me to get there. Just amazing service!! I think his name was Seth, who was actually outside waiting for me to pull up and walked me back to the plumbing section and another employee help us find exactly what I needed!”
“I will choose Miller’s over the big box store, even if it means I have to go out of my way to get there. Service and knowledge is second to none and it’s locally owned.”

“I started off a little frustrated, looking for a set of suspenders that were integral to my sons Halloween costume tomorrow. From some interet research we were able to see that this store had what we needed. So I stopped in on the way home from the office. After not seeing them where I thought they would be I asked for help. The staff went above and beyond to find the target product in a strange part of the store, thank you for saving Halloween!!!”
“The staff at Cappel's Ace Hardware is welcoming and goes above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service. I appreciate their knowledge and recommendations for my home and lawn projects.”
“Randy in the door section was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient as we bounced between different ideas! Quality and price are both important but customer service is what will bring us back!”
“Great to have a hardware store back in the Northside. The customer service has been top notch with every trip in. From a propane refill to equipment rentals, Ankeny hardware has got it.”
“One of the best, if not the very best, home improvement and hardware store that I habe ever been to. Very neat, well organized, and friendly and knowledgable staff!”
“Be willing to get your stuff yourself. Great selection of lumber. Finding help is like finding a needle in a haystack. Great prices. Power tools are cheap quality.”
“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!”
“Can always find a good variety of plants to buy. The cashier was very kind and patient helping me with gift card that wouldn't work and she found a way to make it work!!”
“We've been purchasing from Liberty Hardwoods since they first arrived in Ankeny. Always answer my questions and very helpful in tracking down wood that is not typically stocked. Great service. Great products”
“This is the best Home Depot. Staff is so friendly and helpful. We got most of our tools on thwir salea, our countertops, cabbets, and flooring from them and also go here for all our small fix needs”
“One of the employees, maybe the owner helped me find the parts and tools I needed so fast that I was able to make it into the office even earlier than I do on a normal day.I really appreciated that I can buy single washers for 10 to 15 cents a piece rather than spending $5 or $6 on a bag at a big box hardware store and getting way more than I need that I'll probably never be able to find again if I would actually need them again.”
“I first shopped at Johnston ACE Hardware during the short time (3 years) I lived in Johnston. I was very impressed and grateful for their knowledge, willingness to make suggestions, and steer me in the "right direction". I am not very experienced with "hardware"-related matters. I moved into Des Moines, but I still return to the Johnston store when I need assistance with hardware-related issues. Thank you!”
