“I needed 4 screws that totaled $0.99. The service I received was a million times that.
Successful businesses treat the $1.00 customers the same as the $1000 customers!
Give them your business!”
“Great store with fantastic staff! Everyone here always seems to truly care about helping the customer. I bought a mower and a grill from here and both were delivered by them free of charge and they even covered the grill for me since I was out of town when it was delivered. Thanks Giovanni!”
“Great shop. Knowledgeable, trustworthy, honest and fair. They have worked on all my small engines and equipment and always do a great job. Everyone who works there is very nice, helpful and approachable, especially the owner. Highly recommend this local small business!”
“Guy is always wonderful to deal with!! I bought a new Stihl string trimmer and when I showed up Guy was walking it up to the counter. A quick registration of my product and out the door!! I highly recommend using Ace in Ravena for any hardware related needs!! Thanks again!!!”
“I always shop at my local hardware store first before going to the big box stores. 99% of the time they have what I'm looking for and their prices are just as competitive. Local hardware stores are closing all over the country and they need local support. There is always someone available to ask a question or to show you where something is you are looking for and they are right around the corner from my house.
Please support your local hardware store !”
“Honestly the people here are great. Very knowledgeable and most have had hands on experience with the products they sell. They won’t sell you something and hope it works. They are knowledgeable and will share there honest opinion and have earned my business”
“I have been going to Bridgeford Hardware for years to get windows and screens repaired. They have the basic hardware supplies for household repairs and general maintenance too. Eddie is the best! Support your local family owned stores, it's great for the neighborhood.”
“I see why this place gets decent reviews. The staff are very knowledgeable and helped me out with a ton of questions. Was able to make the purchase I needed. Would recommend.”
“Best place in the city for home improvement! I had an amazing experience working with Nicole, Sean and denise to do a kitchen from zero all the way to something incredible. A lot of time spent to design they don't rush you to just get you sign and pay and move to the next person, they spent as much time it needs to have the best outcome. Definitely recommended, you will get the best service, price, and quality ? ?.”
“Great people to work with! Had an issue with the bill on my snowblower service, and Nick Jr. took the time to listen, look into the problem and help to resolve it to my satisfaction. Would gladly work with them again”
“A great hardware store that has EVERYTHING, and the staff are attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Such a pleasure going here. Big box stored are a hassle and not any cheaper.”
“Save yourself the trip to the big box stores. Shop local. You won't be disappointed. Very competitive prices. Knowledgeable and very friendly staff. Corey is the go to guy with Kate at the register they make a great team. Kate is just as Knowledgeable can certainly point you in the right direction. You won't be disappointed. Shop local”
“I’ve only visited the Counter at Capitol District Supply in Albany a few times over the past few years, but every visit including today has been a great experience. The staff is always extremely helpful and friendly, and they take the time to make sure you get what you need. Their prices are fair, and the overall service is top-notch. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for heating and plumbing supplies.”
“BEST. HARDWARE STORE. EVER!!(waaaaay better than that other one)- better prices- better customer service- better experiencesupport your home town hardware store, not the corporate one”
“This hardware store has everything. Everyone working inside the store was very friendly and very helpful. They also help support other local businesses. Stop by and pick out a unique Christmas gift for family and friends.”
“The staff is knowledgeable, professional and personable.
Their prices are right in line with the big box stores.
They were extremely cooperative and flexible with delivery.
So convenient and easy to get to especially when you live in the city.
It’s wonderful that this business has chosen to remain here.
Great Experience.”
“Fantastic customer service both times I needed parts for ancient equipment. They were able to cross-reference and find drop-in replacement parts and had them in stock.”
“I had placed an online order, my order never delivered I called corporate they called the store that my order was being filled by. I received a call the same day from Joe Krawiec he explained that it was a computer glitch he tried to fix it Joe called me back to keep me updated on what was happening but we had to reorder it, Joe guided me through the process of reordering it and made sure it was correct. The next morning he checked on it called me immediately and said that my order had been shipped and I should receive it on Tuesday, which I did!. Joe made me feel as though I was the only customer he had to deal with for 2 days! He took time to listen to me complain! I felt he understood my frustration. And he followed up with me!!! You don’t get customer service like that anymore!! Like I said he followed up the next day with a phone call!!
Thank You Joe Krawiec!!”
“I was very happy today to visit my Tractor Supply in Glenmont NY! Great service as a called ahead of time to see if they had a canner in stock. Not only did they have the canner in stock they also held it for me so I could get it on my lunch break. Then to my surprise they price matched Walmarts price on the canner as well! Thank you for great service! I highly recommend they. Go see them for all your summer and all season needs!!! Kudos to you the cashier and manager on today I appreciate you both!”
“The employees of Home Depot at their Central Avenue facility in Albany are very helpful and courteous . I wish I had noted the employee's name that helped me .”
“Lowe's review? Sure.As far as a comparison goes with other Lowe's stores that I have been to in New York and other states, this one is operated at a very high standard. It is sure to have most anything that your home, lawn, property could need and then some. High-price items are locked up, as I was made aware there was some thefts happening during the floyd riots and post-pandemic. All the isles are spic'n'span and lunch hour is the time when some materials are rolled out on carts and restocked on shelves.On a few occasions I have needed some input with the lumber and garden departments and all the staff (old and new) were very helpful and kind - one woman even walked half the store to make sure I got my item!The one sticky point, is the return desk (3 stations) where, without any fail, late in the morning or late in PM; there's always a backed up line. Please get 1 extra person to assist at this crucial desk.Above average Lowe's.5”
“UPDATE:
I am updating my review because the installers did a phenomenal job. The crew arrived on time and the communication with their team was great. The Lowe’s team can definitely do a better job at making sure that the customer is informed prior to attempting deliveries, especially with materials that if left outdoors can be damaged by rain or snow.
PREVIOUS REVIEW:
Horrible experience with doors installation. The communication is extremely poor with the store and the company doing the installation. Save your money and prevent the stress of working with such an inexperienced team. It’s a waste of time calling and taking to some many people to finally get the issue resolved. If you are getting a door installed why would the customer will need to get the items delivered when the installer can simply pick up everything at the store, doors and trim?”
“Home Depot on Route 4 is a great first stop to gather everything you need for those projects around the house. We have been going here for years and usually walk out quite pleased. Prices and inventory are always stellar. In terms of project support, some of the staff really know their stuff, others don't, so do your own homework before you go shopping. I believe one of Home Depot's strongest legs is their website, it crushes the other big box stores, so take advantage of it for product details, prices, and availability. If you have a small order, just find out where it is in the store from the website and go grab it. This store also has excellent customer service as well, which is far, far above their competition. It's great to see management really doing their job and keeping this place pleasant to shop in, year after year.”

Hello, everyone.
I am writing to revise the negative review of the Ace Hatchet Hardware Store that I posted.
At the time when I attempted to place my order with Ace, and after weeks of contacting my financial institution, and encountering further declines against my account by other merchants, I recently have proof that my financial institution sent a debit card to me, that is defective, which causes some merchants to see an error message of decline, but, for security reasons, and due to problems with the card, the bank doesn't see it on their records, causing the conflict.
Last week, I contacted Ace, and they agreed to accept another form of payment, and delivered my order, and were accommodating by phone, which I sincerely appreciate, and am completely satisfied with the purchase, and their willingness to provide assistance, despite the misunderstanding, that was not their fault.
Currently, I am working with my financial institution, and requesting that they investigate their error, and replace the defective card to prevent further conflict.
I want to retract my prior negative posting, and thank Ace and their manager. I appologize for my misjudgment, and regret my error. I rate Ace with five stars.
I have recently received a message from Ace that their Tech Support department is currently working to resolve the accessibility issues with their mobile app, and website, which I also appreciate.
Thank you.”
“I needed some plywood for a project I was working on for a friend. However, I own a small Toyota and it wouldn't fit. So, I either had to have it delivered or else rent a truck to transport it. Delivery charges are $80 and several weeks out, so that left option #2. Thankfully, they had a pick-up truck in stock. They won't, however, hold it for you so it is first-come-first-served. Thankfully, I called ahead and the truck was on their lot so I was able to drive over and rent it. The process went quick though I needed to show them my driver's license, insurance paperwork, and have a deposit put on my credit card. All standard stuff.I only needed the truck to drive 7 miles each way, and I had it back within the first 75 minutes so my total cost was about $20. That wasn't bad at all! Their employee, Hans, was super friendly throughout the process.I will point out that HD's selection of plywood here was horrible. Nice hardwoods like birch were non-existent, as were smaller thicknesses like 1/4". That being said, their 1-by lumber was very good compared to several Lowes I had been in. This is all likely due to Covid, so I won't penalize them for that. It is something to keep in mind though.”
“Kamco is the most amazing place to be and go to warehouse guys are amazing and fast delivery guys are fast funny and amazing at there jobs *they all need a raise*”
“I called Marcone for an over door glass pack on a Friday afternoon around 4:00 p.m. I spoke to an extremely helpful and friendly person who took my order and said the part would probably ship on Monday since it was so late in the day, arriving on Tuesday (which was fine with me). Imagine my delight when I received email notification that the part shipped that same Friday afternoon after all and then the part was delivered on Saturday! Really nice to be "surprised" in such a positive manner. My thanks to Marcone for their fast, friendly support (and it was the right part, too! We just finished fixing the oven door).”
“This E. Greenbush store is AMAZING, with the greatest Customer Service. I walked in, frazzled and desperate and needed help obtaining the correct connecting plug for my generator because of a recent wind storm and our power was out for three days. I showed the photo's of my generator and transfer switch to the gentleman who immediately greeted me at the door (I think your name is Todd) and he helped me obtain the correct 220 male/female plug along with the extension cord that goes with it. THEN, "Nick and Tony" (Owners) took the extra step and secured (attached) the male/female plug to each end of extension cord. They wouldn't accept payment and I'm eternally grateful for this. I know for a FACT that the local big box store nearby would NEVER, EVER provided this kindness and assistance. Thank you to Todd ( I think that is your name) who greeted me at the door and provided the BEST Customer Service and of course thank you to Nick and Tony for helping as well. This is the place to go for all your needs....Nancy F.”
