“STEVEN...ALWAYS STEVEN! I don’t think I’ve met unfriendly employees in the store ever but every time I see them goes above and beyond he's an absolute ace at true value”

“I recently moved to the area and have already visited no less than 7 times in less than 2 weeks. It's quite a large footprint for an Ace Hardware store, with a variety of options. However, what was most impressive was the staff. The young gentleman working the front desk was friendly no matter which day I came in. He was welcoming, professional, and added to the good energy of the store. I had keys made and the employee that assisted me was also incredibly helpful. Each employee seemed to go out of their way to be kind, and it adds to the warmth of a local establishment. I also loved that they gave an option to round up my purchases to help support a local hospital. Truly a spot that values helping to built a better community. Looking forward to having support for all my home projects in the future!”

“We have had a wonderful experience with Friel Lumber in Chester, MD. They helped me to design our kitchen and were incredibly patient and professional as we worked through each step. We wanted a chef's kitchen and that is exactly what we got. Eric Weaver worked with us in placing and designing every single cabinet and drawer to maximize space in a townhouse. We could not be any happier. I love our new space! And my spice drawer is the best thing ever!”

“Friel storage is a great place to use as a midpoint to put some of your personal belongings. The service by the staff is polite and professional. I wouldn't hesitate in the future to use them again.”
