We have used Frentz & Sons for at least 25 years and always get great results. That might explain why it was voted one of the top 10 hardwares in the US. As Tyrus would say "Nuff Said"

Best hardware store you'll find. Everyone is so nice, so helpful, and so knowledgeable. I am a carpenter and pass other stores to go to Frentz!

A few generations of our family have been going to Frentz & Son's Hardware since the 1940's. The same family's owned & cared for it since 1931.Not once have I head anyone say they did not get exceptional service at Frentz. All one has to do is start walking toward the counter in the center of the store and you will either be greeted on the way to the counter or at the counter.Even on crazy-busy days, people are willing to help. (They multi-task well!) Each person is very knowledgeable about all items and will be happy to suggest a better product or method. It's real advice, too- not some made up stuff like at many hardware stores.Pricing here is comparable to , or lower than, other local hardware stores. Actually, their prices are often lower than the big box nightmare stores.Frentz is an ideal place to shop for fasteners. The selection is great and, for most items, you don't have to buy a giant box to get what you need. They sell by-the-piece. Only American Integrated has more fasteners than Frentz, but that's all the sell.Want something odd? Chances are Frentz has it, or will get it. If you don't see it, ask. While shopping there once, I casually mentioned that I had to stop at Bearing Service for an unusual sized V-Belt. The Frentz guy asked what size, and 2 minutes later, I had a V-Belt. Another time, I needed a spud wrench for a steam trap. Frentz had it. (Bet they sell one per decade, but they had it.)Their electrical department selection is quite good. The choice of various switch and receptacle plates is a giant wall of treasures. The plumbing aisle is super stocked with a large variety.Frents & Son's has you covered, no matter what you need.PS: It's a fun place to explore. Next time you're there, look at the floor in the fastener aisle. There are a zillion washers stuck in the floor from the decades. Designer Chic!

Great atmosphere. Everyone here is helpful without being suffocating or patronizing. They’re happy to answer the simplest of questions that I have. Even their checkout register folks are nice! I make a point to shop here when I need home repair stuff.

Great small hardware store, a refreshing change from the helpless feeling when you go to Home Despot or Blowes

Walking in here is like teleporting into decades past where true, independently owned hardware stores were an important part of the community before big box stores started to push them all out of business.The people in here are friendly and helpful. When one of the valves on our hundred year old hot water heating system sprung a leak in the middle of winter, we loaded up our newborn and the valve that I had managed to twist off and headed into the store. They had everything there to re-pack the valve and get it in great shape (the old packing had become brittle and started to leak), I think they only charged us half a dollar for the packing material. Next time you were thinking of heading into Home Cheapo make sure you take a second thought and check out this local business first.

The Best Hardware Store in the Area. Friendly DIY experts on hand to give you advice. They aren't a Warehouse like Home Depot so you won't spend an hour looking for what you need. I go there for everything as a 1st time home owner. Their hands on approach to customer service is what keeps me going back.
