“Tino's did a great job repainting our home and fixing exterior moldings and trim. They were punctual, detail-oriented, on budget and left a clean worksite behind when completed. The house looks great and we have received a lot of compliments, both on how it looks but also from people who regularly walk our street and saw their daily work/process.”
“Incredibly kind helpful and not judgmental at all. Was able to describe my exact issue and they gave me different solutions tailored to my problem and budget. I can’t recommend enough.”
“I’ve stopped by here for a number of random bits from bike chain degreaser to toilet clog dissolving solution throughout the last 4 years I’ve lived in the area. The only hardware store I go to.
They have everything and are very nice people. 👍”
“Service Like Nowhere Else: I needed a part for my obsolete Weber grill that belonged to my late father in law. Kevin Button located the obsolete part for me and even explained exactly how to install it properly. Installed right and the grill fires like a champ!
Customer for over 40 years-but Kevin did not know that. He was just doing what they all do there-treating every customer like they are important.
Thank you, O’Connor’s!”
“The staff was incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond what I had asked for. Ethan assisted me directly and really blew me away with his knowledge and understanding of tools and its accessories. And reasonably priced.”
“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!!!”
“It's so nice to go into a real store, and there's helpful friendly staff, and things I need are in stock and I can get them right away. If you have the choice between ordering it online and buying it here, I suggest you shop here. The key cutting service is particularly useful.”
“The girls here are so helpful!! They knew exactly what I was looking for and where to find it. Even with my amateur explanations of what I needed, they knew what I meant. So kind!”
“I pre-ordered my lawnmower online and it was ready for pick-up on time. It was assembled there, free of charge, and the employees were knowledgeable and answered my questions.”
“Ace is a hardware store. It has tools, paint, silverware, snacks, lawnmowers, weedwackers etc. It is pretty cheap and has alot of different supplies. After buying something you can get a balloon. It is pretty good and it has nice staff”
“Since we lived in Firestone Park in the 90s, I almost always go to this Ace Hardware. But about a year ago when I needed some screws that would go into concrete, I was in the Falls and stopped into Menards "to save time". The customer service representative was eager please but had zero knowledge about what I was asking or where to find that type of screw. We wasted at least 20 minutes.So I left straight from there and came to Ace hardware in Firestone Park, and they knew exactly what I needed and suggested a drill bit that ended up being perfect for my needs.They have always been highly knowledgeable, helpful, and the prices are great.Don't waste your time anywhere else ?”
“Great company, highly recommend! We've had our snowblower and lawnmower repaired by them for many years. They have a pickup and delivery service, which is extremely helpful. Recently they fixed our snowblower for a very reduced price when it didn't work at the beginning of this winter, after having been serviced by them at the end of last winter, which we hugely appreciated.”
“John was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process of finding the right paint color for my home. He took the time to help me transition from Swiss Coffee to a new color and never made me feel rushed while I compared samples and asked a million questions. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine willingness to help made the experience so much easier and less overwhelming. Truly outstanding customer service. Aubuchon is lucky to have him!”
“Love Ace! They always smile when I come in and are never bugged by my endless questions about what to get for my various DIY projects. They have a great selection across the board.”

“I’ve shopped here a few times and while they’ve got a solid selection, I sometimes wish the staff was a bit more helpful. Still, it's a decent spot for quick hardware needs.”
“I was offered a water when I stopped in to grab something small (I was mid run!) and they’ve got a wall of Polaroids of the dogs that come to visit! Honestly, those two things alone deserve five stars. More humanity in our commercial spaces, please! :)”
“Fantastic selection of tools and home improvement supplies! The staff is always friendly and eager to help with any questions or projects. It's my go-to spot for any DIY needs!”
“I no longer go to one of the big box stores when I need something quickly around the house…this neighborhood hardware store reminds me of going to the hardware store with my father as a kid: it always has what you need and someone bends over backwards to help you—always with a smile on his/her face.”
“The customer service service at this company is Tier 1. I had a complicated project and their friendly staff helped me lay it out and source all the materials and tools needed to get the job done.”
“I didn't catch his name, but the lovely gentleman at the front saved my kayaking adventure. The lock I have securing the kayak to my roof failed, so I came in for bolt cutters. When he heard what I needed them for he came out and got the job done! They may have lost a small sale, but have gained a big fan!”
“Good tools at great prices. I always check here before buying new. The owner is a friendly guy who knows his stuff and is always willing to help. Parking can be a bit of a pain but it is worth it.”

“Needed some special pipes and adapters for Insinkerator installation. Tried couple more Ace and Plumbing stores in the neighborhood but did not find what was needed. Plumbing consultant in this store was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Figured out how to do what I needed, found all the pieces and I was able to complete the job. Thank you!”
“I had such a great experience at this store today. I went in to buy bolt cutters because I had accidentally put a padlock on backwards, rendering it unable to be unlocked. The gentleman managing the store could have easily sold me the bolt cutters, but instead helped me problem solve and ended up cutting down the key so I was able to successfully unlock the padlock. He was incredibly helpful and generous- I am very grateful!”
“This place is my go-to for all my home improvement needs! The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, always ready to lend a hand or offer advice. I love the wide selection of tools and supplies—definitely a five-star experience!”
“I've been here 3 or 4 times since moving to JP, and every time I've been struck by how nice everyone who works there is. Very approachable and always willing to help me find things. I've also always found what I needed here, which is great! Highly recommend.”
“Chris is truly my hero! We’re new homeowners and trying to replace worn pieces of our existing hardware on our front door as well as in our kitchen. Chris was expertly able to identify the make and model of each piece of hardware when I was sure we might never find them. The folks who work here are so knowledgeable—look no further if you need decorative hardware for your home!”
“These guys have always been honest and helpful in repairing our tools. We used them for Ridgid Lifetime Service Agreement for years. Unfortunately Ridgid has cancelled the program with 3rd party shops. Wouldn’t hesitate to go here for any tools or repairs.”
“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:”
“I look forward to making regular trips Fells Ace Hardware. Every time I step in the door, I am treated with friendly, helpul service. Staff is super knowledgeable and, as a contractor, they carry a lot of supplies that'll help you in a pinch. They carry Benjamin Moore line of paints, they also stock Milwaukee power tools. Plumbers and electricians will find the basic parts and repair products in stock. From ping pong balls to duct tape to lawn fertilizer, this compact location has a lot of inventory.
If you need home related stuff, save on gas and make the trip to Fells. It's always a helpful resource.”
