Love this store! The people are so friendly and professional. Byron on the lower level is wonderful: incredibly knowledgeable and just the nicest guy! He has helped me out with all sorts of plumbing and hardware issues. Swift’s offers hands down the best service of any local hardware store!

Amazing store with amazing customer service, my favorite selection of sauna supplies in the country! Byron went out of his way to help me with a special request and made sure it was exactly what I asked for!
