“Love this place! Extremely organized shop, welcoming staff that can help you find what you need and just an overall great spot. The kitties make coming into the store a treat, and I always find what I’m looking for because of their great variety! I recommend going to Aubuchon to everyone, if you haven’t checked out this store you are missing out!!”
“Great store I called him in advance to find out if they have certain extension cable and when I arrive to the store the employee was able to help me fast and efficiently!!!”

“I had a great experience with Aubuchon Hardware in Stow. I placed an online pickup order, and it was ready much faster than I expected. When I went inside to pick it up, every employee I encountered was friendly and personally greeted me, which made me feel welcome. The pickup process was quick and efficient, and I was in and out in just a few minutes. Excellent customer service and a smooth experience from start to finish. I'll definitely shop here again!”
“I love this hardware store! The staff is always super friendly and helpful, and they usually have everything I need for my home projects. It's a go-to spot for all my DIY supplies!”
“You won’t get service like this at the big box stores. Miguel took an interest in my project and personally assisted in helping me with what I needed. Project was a success and I won’t go anywhere else but Butler Lumber!”
“I adore this place and make a point to go here over Home Depot or Lowe’s. The folks here are so helpful and are very education-first so I never feel like I’m being spoken down to. Steve has been so helpful in our project to repaint the walls in our house. His suggestions have helped us transform our space room by room. I will ALWAYS recommend this spot, thank you guys for your hard work!”
“Monnick's has been our go-to hardware store in Framingham for 40 years. The paint department is quite special with a very large selection and very knowledgeable staff.”

“Just a superb place. Been working on a fairly large project for our house and have been there a number of times to get specialty lumber. I'll admit to not being the most knowledgeable about different woods, but never felt like I was out of place or that I wasn't welcome. They answered my questions happily, walked me around the yard to show different wood options. Put in orders where what I wanted wasn't immediately available. I've been to a couple of the other lumber yards in the area and this has been by far my favorite. I'd highly recommend.”
“Customer service is not anything special, but definetly not bad either. Store has an incredible selection of tools not typically stocked at other locations in my experience.”
“Ace Hardware is my go-to for DIY projects. I am pretty handy but often need to talk over a project with someone to get more ideas and advice. I bought a Dewalt handheld circular saw and was having a hard time installing the blade. I called Dewalt customer service, who couldn't help. But Joe, the manager at Ace Hardware realized I had put one washer in the wrong place. VOILA--my circular saw works. I am a very happy customer!”
“Always an excellent experience here. Helpful staff answers questions. Fully stocked with items most likely needed by customers. Nice stock of seasonal needs inside and out. Very clean and modern store is well maintained.”

“Exceptional!!! My first time shopping at this location and they had everything I needed and a one in a million purchase that bailed me out of being a no show gift item at a one year old boys birthday party.
The people are stellar, they must love their jobs as the assisted me to all the isles and exact area for the product and left me alone to find the one appropriate for my needs.
We did this 5 times, and on my way to the check out counter I found my childhood favorite candy (Chuckles) so dang fresh, soft, and full of flavor. No exaggeration!!!
Highly recommend this Ace it is newer, great vib, and stocked.”
“I love this store !! I truly wish I knew what half the gadgets were for .. But .. what ever their purpose they have it All bright shiny and perfectly arranged it leaves me in awe Everything is so organized and the sales people are incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. Whatever you’re looking for they know exactly where it is .. Always patient and kind no question feels too simple to ask .. Let’s face it not all of us are in a trade … Whatever you need as far as tools .. They have it .. and I can guarantee they can beat any competitors price.. Looking for an excuse to go back soon”
“Amazing selection of products and super helpful staff! I always find what I need, and they’re great at answering questions. Love shopping here for all my home improvement projects!”
“The service person was great and very knowledgeable,BUT The parts took too damn long to come in. The system is screwed up somehow. Get some Youngblood in there to fix it.”

“Absolutely love shopping here! The staff is super helpful, always ready to assist with any questions I have. Plus, they have everything I need for my DIY projects – it feels like a one-stop shop!”
“Nice clean store. Great inventory and stock of what you would expect at this store. Location is convenient and there is plenty of free parking available. Nice variety of stores around the area as well.”
“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.”
“Incredible service, will absolutely be back in the future. They helped educate me on my leaf blower. They had everything fixed and up and running in only a few minutes. I'm very impressed.”
“Overall service was excellent. The only complaint we have is billing. The home Depot billing system seems not straightforward, always has glitches. This time is no exception, got an error that the store staff couldn't explain, had to leave a note in the system about the billing issue. We've paid the first portion, and will ask home Depot to correct the billing when pay the second portion. By the way this is not the first time we experienced the billing issues.”
“Maynard is the best small shop for projects around the house. They always seem to have the most random part that is needed. I also always go to them for smoke detectors, CO detectors, heat detectors, etc. They have really good prices and great customer service!”
“02/2026: I love Lowe's but I cant deal with the self checkout anymore. I need to find a new place that has peole..
2025: Always great service and they gave their employees Easter off.. a company that puts family first today over profits is great to see.. keep it up Lowes!!!”
“I was there today at Natick store. Natick is very far away for me from Lexington. But they have great vanities with stone like counter top all the time. The other store will tell me the store model is not for sale. Now I know why. The guy from plumbing department helped me to find a replacement for a missing mirror, took me to the manager for price adjustment , disassembled the vanity from the rack & the floor and helped to put it on my car. What a efficient service. All the people there I met today are super nice and friendly!”
“Picked up a clamp which cost around $2. It seems like there is minimum requirement for credit card (makes sense due to high credit card fees). Checked the car, no cash. They allowed me to take it as I needed the clamp. I will drop the cash later today. Nice guys. You wouldn’t get this level of service in big name stores like home depot”
