“Great local hardware store. Feels “small town” by the warmth of the employees and lady working the counter, but they have a wide variety of tools and anything else you’d expect from a much larger store.”
“Personal service is the key here. You have questions they have answers. Don't want to get lost in a mega box store, here is the answer. Very knowledgeable about just about everything unlike the mega store with no answers”
“Everyone at this store is genuinely friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to help me with my Big Green Egg warranty and exceeded my expectations. Thank you for such a great customer service.”
“The front desk clerk was most helpful! She not only got me what i needed she made sure i got stuff to finish the job!!! Will defintely go here again!!! Amazing service!”
“We had an exceptional experience with Builders Surplus on our recent basement finishing project. They supplied all of the flooring, drywall, doors, fixtures, and material I am probably forgetting. The quality across the board was outstanding — we're especially thrilled with the acoustic wall they helped us put together in our TV/media space, which turned out even better than we'd hoped. What really set them apart, though, was the owner Todd Bauer and his team at Builders Surplus. While we self-contracted the project, Todd's guidance and advice went far beyond just selling materials — he was genuinely invaluable in helping us coordinate our subcontractors and think through decisions along the way. That kind of hands-on expertise is hard to find, and it made the entire project run so much more smoothly. If you're taking on a renovation and want a supplier who actually partners with you rather than just ringing up a sale, we can't recommend Builders Surplus — and Todd in particular — highly enough.”
“Maybe the last hardware store in Jeff. I needed a few things to finish a small woodworking project, and the gentleman who waited on me took me right to everything I needed and was helpful with some advice on several matters.”
“I went into this store with a need for a replacement foot piece for a record player and the amount of care and attention I was shown in this visit to get me a piece that would do the job was the absolute old school way. They went above and beyond and provided a level of expertise that is learned only through true experience and customer care which is absolutely rare and it made me wish more people and places were like this. Thank you to Oscar’s staff for making people feel seen and appreciated. You all are icons.”
“I love our little neighborhood hardware store! It's perfect in that it's an easy walk, the prices are excellent, and there's so much there that if I need something in a pinch to finish a project or get one started, it is so convenient to get there. If you have to drive, there's parking in the back and on the street. And as I discovered, if you like to smoke your meats, they have a selection of smoking woods and supplies.I don't like going to the massive, out of the way hardware stores, especially if I just need a few things. Oscar's knows that and what they supply is what most of us need.”
“All the employees are always super nice and super helpful. There has always been someone close to help if I couldn't find what I needed. The store always looks clean and organized inside and out”
“Willis Klein Showrooms is our go-to source for door hardware on our custom homes. Leigh is wonderful to work with and makes the selection process easy and enjoyable for our homeowners. From selections to delivery, everything is organized, professional, and seamless. Great products and great service—we highly recommend them!”
“I have been shopping at this location for a few years due to the great customer service. I have never been disappointed with the availability of products or the customer service. I am not from Louisville, and I enjoy the small-town atmosphere. Recently I was made aware that the couple running the store with their son were not the owners. I was shocked! They never said they were the owners, I just assumed they were because they make customer service and product availability a priority. They seemed so invested. I have committed to not shop at Lowes or Office Depot to support this family. I added them and the store to my prayer list last year, praying for an increase in business, because they take such good care of their customers. So, since they are not the owners, do you know how hard it is to find employees who treat your business like it was their own. Please appreciate them, they work this job as if it were their own business. Please take the time to let them know they are appreciated and valued! I do not want to neglect the other employees I’ve gotten to know at this location, they are all great at customer service. You also recently hired my favorite Aldi’s guy. He’s my favorite because he provides great customer service where I grocery shop. Lastly, I can’t forget the “little boss” behind the counter. Being a frequent customer I will be looking forward to seeing her grow up. She needs an ACE Hardware T-shirt stating she is the Boss. Thank you for great service in the years to come. Joyce Mann”
“Amazing family-owned shop. They helped me with a tricky logistics issue and didn't hesitate. Great service, fair prices, and even better people. I will be back.”
“Good people first a fore most, prices decent. But will definitely help you find what your looking for. If they don’t have it, they’ll tell you who does.”
“Wanted to shout out John, our cashier, for being extra helpful and helping us pick out the right pet item we needed. The store is sectioned out well, so it was easy to find things and prices are reasonable.”
“I went into the store looking for a specific type of grease I use to restore old record players. I asked one of the associates where I could find it, and he took me right to it. He even asked what I use it for, and struck up a friendly conversation. I would highly recommend them!”
“A good place to purchase propane for your grill. They also sell grills if you need one. Considered taking a star off because you have to pay for a full tank regardless of any propane left in your tank. But the service is so good. Five stars.”
“I highly recommend Anderson’s Sales & Service Jtown. The young man at the parts counter has a great attitude with a head full of knowledge. He’s friendly and quick.”
“This review is long overdue, Winsupply is a great company to work with from the sales to the drivers each person cares about the quality of the job which makes the whole process that much easier.”
“Love Harbor Freight. Great deals on all kinds of stuff. Went here to get a bit set. EVERY associate was polite friendly and welcoming, asking if I needed any help finding things etc. . I was looking at the U.S. General series 3 tool chest. Thoroughly impressed with the quality of the tool chest. Sales associate, Eric, was more than helpful letting me know if they didn't have the one I wanted they would order it. This store knocked it out of the park all the way around. Way to go Westport road Harbor Freight.”
“I walked into this place today not knowing what to expect. I had several questions about a project I am working on and Mike greeted me at the door with his hands full. He dropped everything and gave me 100% of his attention. Not only did he answer all of my questions but he gave me some incredible advice that will end up saving me vast amounts of time. Without a doubt I will return to Woodcraft. I will recommend them to everyone I know.”
“The greatest neighborhood hardware store with the best and friendliest service! They have literally almost everything and will bend over backwards to help you out!”
“Wow where do I begin. By far the best hvac supply house in all of Louisville. Extremely competitive prices if not the lowest, always has what I need in stock. The people that work there are kind, knowledgeable, and take care of their customers. The guys handling the custom sheet metal do not skip a beat, they’re quick and efficient. I’ve been coming here for years and will continue to with no hesitation. Any and all equipment you purchase is handled quickly and with care so I can get to my jobs sooner than later. Do yourself a favor and go to WinAir. It’s the best choice!”
“Amazingly helpful. John was so knowledgeable as was the rest of the staff. Fixed my saw and saved me 100’s. I live in Clarksville, but will happily make the drive anytime I need help. THANK YOU.”
“Nice local hardware store where the staff is very knowledgeable about everything in the store. They also have a good repair shop for small engines lawnmowers, weed trimmers, chainsaw, etc. There is a handicap gentleman that know his stuff!”
“This store is convenient for me. Every time I visit they’re always personable and offer great help and suggestions. Blessed to have this hardware store in my neighborhood.”
“Close to home convenience, friendly staff. Not a big box store but I grew up in a neighborhood hardware store. It's nice to go in somewhere that knows the difference between a bolt or a screw or a nail and a nut.”
“They had everything i asked for ready the morning I went to pick it up. Remembered me! And I was in and out so fast. Took me longer to put fluid in my truck than to load em for me!”
“Trying to get some windows warranty for being foggyHave a lifetime warranty from Lansing building productsThey said the manufacture went out of business, so they wanted to wasn’t any good to themAfter a few conversations, they said they’re going to work with me, but yet haven’t worked out anything yet”
“Connie and Beth at the Middleton location are about THE nicest people you could ever work with. I had to replace a bunch of door hardware from my home 40 minutes away from the store. They stayed late and helped me get it all done so I won’t have to make a return trip. Plus Connie helped me pick out hardware for my in-laws. I will always return to Willis Klein because of the great customer service these ladies gave me!! Thank you so much!!!”
Lowe's is giving its loyalty program a makeover to better serve small and mid-sized professional contractors. The home improvement retailer has changed its MVPs Pro Rewards & Partnership Program into the new MyLowe's Pro Rewards. The updated program aims to make life easier for professionals while offering more benefits from their first purchase.
Ace Hardware is reimagining itself with a new store concept. The home improvement retailer plans to invest over $1 billion in the next five years to roll out "Elevate Ace" across new and existing locations. The revamped stores will feature brand showrooms, expanded product lines, and enhanced customer service. Some locations will even boast outdoor spaces with live plant displays. Ace gave retailers a sneak peek at the concept during its recent Chicago convention. While a few stores will debut the new look later this year, the full rollout begins in January.
Ace Hardware is hammering out an impressive growth story. The retailer-owned cooperative is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a bang, reaching 5,000 U.S. stores and planning to open 200 new locations in 2024. The company hit a milestone when it opened its 100th new store this year in Henderson, Nevada. Another newcomer, Fixit Ace Hardware in Roswell, Georgia, became the 5,000th domestic Ace store.
In the latest move of its growth plan, leading paint maker Dunn-Edwards just opened 17 new retail locations throughout Northern California. This expansion of physical stores boosts the company's footprint in the region by over 50%.
The expansion caps an exciting time for the nearly 100-year-old company. With its 100th anniversary in 2025, Dunn-Edwards is strengthening its market position through planned growth focused on better serving pros, homeowners and employees.
