“This is always my go-to hardware store. If they don't have it, they'll get it for you. Quality stock at reasonable prices. You CAN'T BEAT the great service and you don't have to waste time looking for someone to help you in a big chain store. Also, these folks are more knowledgeable than you'll find at other stores! I believe in supporting family owned businesses but you can't get better service anywhere!!!!”

“Great local Hardware Store and more! We have 2 local hardware stores in town, which is rare these days. They are each family-owned and a great local resource for residents and contractors alike. The staff at Erickson's Hardware is friendly and knowledgeable and they carry a surprisingly wide range of products. Their prices are reasonable, their hours are very good and it beats having to drive 20+ minutes to go to a big box store where you are basically on your own. A great local resource!”
