“I have been a customer of O’Connor/Ace Hardware for many years and absolutely love this store. The employees are very knowledgeable and very willing to assist always. Can’t say enough about this store. I will continue to shop there always. I’m there at least once a week. I enjoy just walking through and seeing what new items have been added each season. Love, love love this store.”
“We use Westford Ace Hardware store for a lot of our daily needs. At the Housing Authority, time is money. Having a great local Hardware store who is willing to try to carry certain items or accommodate us in any way possible. Both locations are great!”
“Shattuck Ace Hardware in Lexington, Massachusetts is a wonderful old fashion hardware store where “good service” still matters. Anytime I go into this store I am greater warmly and professionally. The staff is so friendly and helps me find even the simplest smallest items I need. Their key making service is the best one around and I would not go anywhere else. Thank you Shattuck Ace for keeping corner hardware store alive and thriving. All the best, Robert.”
“Every single time I’ve consciously made the effort to support local small businesses and do my home improvement shopping here I’m left smiling! The customer service alone, making actual eye-contact with a helpful associate who asked ME if I needed help is always a far cry from having to wander aimlessly around like “walker” out of The Walking Dead looking for help finding a 3/8” nut! The store is always so welcoming, the front doors propped-open for fresh air, the great job they do setting up the goods for display, and there are always a hundred other little things I want to pick up while looking around! But let’s talk real talk…..how can you beat the Benjamin Moore quality, selection, and ease of work with? And how much easier is it really to just swing into the parking lot 50’ from the entrance and not have to worry about the hustle-bustle of the orange madness or the blue lagoon!?.
This store is a comforting presence whenever I have any home improvement ideas, issues, or emergencies. The owners are salt of the Earth folks with kids of their own and I always enjoy spending a few extra minutes at the end of my purchases talking with them. I go there for EVERYTHING from a light bulb, to a rake, to all of my paint! I’ve also witnessed them many times consulting with, answering questions, and offering their expertise in an excited and friendly manner with customers on bigger projects they were taking on! It’s so simple and it SHOULD come easy but it’s such a lost “thing” in our present time. Go here!”
“A great family owned business. Excellent service and knowledgeable staff put them head and shoulders above every other hardware store. Since they are affiliated with True Value, the prices are good also as they buy in bulk with the big dogs.”
“Dracut Hardware is my go to store for anything I need for my house or outdoors in my yard. The staff and Dave are always welcoming and helpful if I am looking for something , and 99.9% of the time, they have what I’m looking for. I recommend this store over the big box stores for any hardware items or things for your yard.”
“I came in last week looking for a lot of different things, everywhere from cleaning products, to specific size hardware. I figured I’d be looking around the store the aimlessly, but no. An employee, I believe he told me his name was Jake, helped me find everything, despite the store being somewhat busy.”
“From the retail store to the drive thru yard, everyone was so friendly and helpful.
Stopped in this morning for some ice melt after a big box store once again let me down and faked to deliver to my home. I was warmly greeted by the folks behind the counter and we had a great chat about some upcoming projects I’m planning. The cashier walked me through the process for collecting my 150# of ice melt via their drive thru lumber yard.
It was my first time shopping there and accidentally went down the wrong lane in the drive thru but everyone was kind and gracious- I was so embarrassed & worried I was going to get the standard New England style scolding for my oversight. But the gentleman who assisted me with loading my ice melt and the cashier were both so lovely- thank you for that.
I am done with the big box home improvement stores and will be shopping here from now on!”
“Awesome rustic store with a small town feel. Very kind employees. Helped me find an adapter valve quickly. You will find everything hardware even things u don’t find in lowes or Home Depot”
“If you want to spend an hour and get your 10,000 steps for the day to get a valve stem go to the big box stores. If you want to be in and out in 3 min and get whatever you need then come here.”
“I had a very specific request for a nut and bolt (to fix a blade on my hockey skate) and the staff inside this Ace Hardware store couldn’t have been more helpful. It was a $0.30 fix but the associate, Mark, spent the time with me to make sure that I was all set, found the right size to fit and even helped me fix my skate. If that’s not above and beyond for service I don’t know what is. Thank you!!”
“I needed an inducer fan for my Goodman furnace . I called the company that I bought the furnace from, but for some stupid reason they could not get the part for me. I called Johnstone in Woburn MA and they had the part in stock. Ryan and the branch manager Brad Esposito were very helpful at Johnstone:”
“A varied assortment of items to satisfy your needs. I got steel fence posts, 50' sheathed wire, sledgehammer handle, grass seed, and 4 bags of starter fertilizer. Usually plenty of parking.”
“I can't say enough good things about this hardware store. Unlike Lowe's or Home Depot, there's always knowledgeable staff available to answer any questions or to assist customers as needed. All of the staff are absolutely amazing and have always gone above and beyond, in my opinion. I've been there on countless occasions with a million questions or having absolutely no idea how to do something, yet somehow still always manage to leave with all the stock required and have been advised as to the best way to get the job completed. I won't go anywhere else.”
“This store is very clean and well organized, helpful staff too. Been buying DIY tools, etc there over past year or so and everything has been great. Much better and quicker buying experience than the big box store nearby.”
“A model for what a local hardware store should be. Staffed by a mix of adults who know exactly how to help you. They also employ local kids who are usually pretty helpful, though they are just teenagers so manage your expectations! They are kids working a first job, and I see a lot of people (both in the store and on Yelp) mistake inexperience with rudeness. Selection is good for a local place, though more niche items may require a trip to a larger place. Importantly, they do not carry much of anything in terms of wood and lumber, though they have a decent power tool section, including Craftsman, Milwaukee, and Stihl. Painting, plumbing, hand tools, grilling, house care, yard care, and screws are examples of the areas they cover pretty well. Value is good as well, matching or beating that of places like Lowes or HD, and Ace is a local mainstay.”
“I have had a very good experience here. I am working with Mary Ann Moore and she has been amazing. She returns my phone calls in a very timely manner along with my emails. She is very seasoned and knowledgeable about all of the products. I have future renovations coming up as well and will be working solely with Mary Ann for those renovations. This is by far the best place around!”
“Great selection of hardware and an amazingly helpful staff.Wide variety feature some nice luxury brands. Like a jewelry store of hardware. They carry all price points. So nice to see and feel quality differences. Keep stores like this open and don't buy on line.”
“We’ve partnered with Jackson for 40 years, and they continue to be a vital part of our growth. Our rep, Chris Martineau, provides world-class service; he is incredibly responsive and always on top of our needs. If every supplier had a 'Chris,' business would be a lot easier!

“Koopman is my go to for all my home renovation tools, equipment & materials procurement. From the front desk to the back office I have had nothing but first class service.”
“Claudia is an absolute expert and a joy and helped us pick all the right colors and basically transform our renovation strategy. An amazing perk of this location. Thank you”
“Best hardware store in the area with almost everything for home, fitting, plumbing and construction needs. Owners and the staff are really friendly in helping with their services.”
“I had a fantastic experience working with W.J. Grosvenor & Co., Inc. for my recent project! I brought in a sample piece of old cove base, and they were able to color match it perfectly with barely a glance — I was seriously impressed by their expertise.
Everyone I interacted with was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful, answering all my newbie questions with patience and friendliness. They made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I truly appreciated their professionalism and efficiency.
If you’re looking for a reliable, expert supplier who goes the extra mile to make sure you get exactly what you need, I can’t recommend W.J. Grosvenor & Co., Inc. highly enough! Thank you for helping make my project a success!”
“This year's (2023) quality of pellet fuel is very good.One thing has really improved. Everyone asks if you need help. I bought extra wood pellets dye cold weather after burning 2 tons. These were inferior wood pellets @$6 a bag. It leaves an odor not normally associated with hardwood which is what it was indicated on the bag to be. Finding a cart to load them on was not easy. It may be time to buy next winters supply from your regular supplier. If you can locate the quality at last year's price with an increase in delivery I suggest you do it. If was another product I'd give them 4 stars but product brings it down a notch. It's an annoying odor that leaves your throat scratchy. It's not COVID.”
“They are very helpful in solving your project's problem. Whether it is color matching a stain or suggesting the right product for preparing the wood for painting.”
“People will complain about the retail service here, but this ain't HD or Lowes, it's a supply house. If you need a 2x12 and don't want to burn an hour driving to HD in Waltham and back, they're great. The hours however are limited, since they service contractors.
That said, while I might have to wait or try to get someone's attention, I've always gotten what I needed here from paint to lumber to propane tank refills all while supporting a local shop rather than sending the money to a mega corp.”
“Chelmsford Lumber team provided high quality service including structure engineer consultation, on-time delivery and return proecss. I would especially appreciate the engineer, Matt Rimkus, who helped me calculate the structure and materials timely as requested, and patiently answered my questions. His professional serivce made me finally decide to purchase all materials through Chelmford lumber. Furthermore, the salesperson, Shaun in the store also provided an excellent service in delivery and return of the orders. In overall, i believe that this company is well managed and trusted. Their price is very fair and competitive to others.Just one thing to be improved is to state more clearly the return policy of special orders as customers place an order.”
“Friend to the rescue! This is probably the third or forth project where our contractor forgot to get materials or obtained the wrong sizes. A call to Friend Lumber has almost always been the solution. Their materials are quality, their knowledge is tops, their staff is professional, and the guys who deliver are just great. We always buy here if we can for our DIY homeowner projects, but they have also been responsive to our last minute needs when contractors muck up. They have been great about getting materials to us fast, and letting us know when it just can't be done. We find their prices competitive. We will keep buying here whenever we can.”
“Wanted to point out how valuable Chris Bengston has been towards the growth of our business (Cole Landscaping) because of his professional knowledge of turf products. Chris is always very responsive and turn around times are always met or exceeded. He is an asset to your company. He is a great communicator.”
