“I wanted to take a moment to recognize the outstanding customer service I received from John in the repair department. As a homeowner who relies on my Ryobi lawn equipment, being without my lawnmower during repair season was stressful. John personally reached out after my mower was brought in for service and went above and beyond by arranging for me to borrow a loaner lawnmower—something I understand had been discussed as a possibility but had never actually been implemented until my situation. That level of initiative and customer care saved me from having to hire someone to mow my lawn while waiting for repairs, and I was incredibly grateful. This wasn’t my only experience with John’s excellent service. He subsequently helped me navigate the replacement of a defective Ryobi battery through Ryobi, which was a huge help. Most recently, he took the time to troubleshoot my Ryobi weedwhacker, which he now has working beautifully. It’s rare these days to find someone who is knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely committed to helping customers. John exemplifies what outstanding service should look like, and because of him, I would absolutely return and recommend this store to others needing Ryobi sales or service.”
“This place has it all and gentlemen that are always wonderful with helping me- whether it's loading bags of dirt in my car or helping me find the right tool for whatever I'm getting myself into (without my husband's knowledge LOL!)”
“The tools are the same quality as stuff you get from home Depot. It wasn't always like that but they've improved. The power tools have improved as well. You can get a gigantic k-bar for like $10, and an oogahorn to replace your boring car horn for a 1999. All you have to do is mount it and put a bigger fuse in. You can get all this stuff while you're actually getting stuff you need all under one roof. It's kind of set up like a casino though. Never figured out how they orientate things but that's okay.”
“I have had nothing but great experiences with Viking Sales both times I've purchased from them. I've been restoring our historic windows that were so heavily coated in paint they no longer functioned properly. So far I have used their linseed oil wood putty, paint, glazing, plain oil, and shellac flakes.They are knowledgeable about window restoration processes and provide high-quality, chemical-free products that are good for both the environment and people to use. My windows look fantastic so far and I feel confident the repairs and linseed products will last many years to come.The photos are a bit out of order but you get the idea. I already owned a Speedheater Cobra which is how I stripped the windows.”
“Shane came out to fix our garage which had gotten stuck and the cable came off. He was super quick and knowledgeable and fixed it in no time. Very reasonable price compared to the other company that quoted me. I would highly recommend alliance door for your garage repair needs.”
“good quality parts friendly and helpful staff…Did not have a Blum hinge which I was looking for so they recommended me to Woodworks in the same general location only on Jefferson Rd. in back of Market view liquor…good referral found what I was looking for and a new place for my supplies for my woodworking projects…people are friendly and always willing to help…prices are good also…”
“We purchased cabinets for an in law apartment. The selection was good and the owner was very helpful through the process. We were pleased with the value. We would recommend Select Cabinetry for your project!”
“My wife and I recently started doing some major home renovations and have made lots of trips to get more supplies. We used to go exclusively to Lowe's but after our recent trips to Home Depot we are now hooked. The team here, selection, and store make the difference. We are very happy with all of our experiences and look forward to our trips!”
“Called about part I needed, clerk said they had it (even though the web site did not). I went to pick it up. It saved me the shipping that was almost the same as the part I needed.”
“I went to the Home Depot across from Eastview mall (not my regular location) and I was so pleased and surprised by the excellent survice and willingingness of employees to help me. I have not gotten this type of service at any other Home Depot locations I have been to, so wanted to applaud this location. I had several different employees direct me and help me in the store; all very pleasant and friendly. It seemed most of them were over 50-60 years old - so I'm sure that contributed to such a nice experience. This will be my new location to shop at from now on.”
“Kaylee in customer service was very helpful! I had ordered flooring with vinyl tile and ranch trim. Because the trim wasn't in stock, the whole order was canceled. To get the tile delivered in time, I had to pay a $79 delivery fee. After contacting Kaylee in customer service and explaining the situation, she refunded the $79 delivery fee. This seems small, but after recent deaths in our family and needing to sell multiple houses to buy another house, we need every penny. Thank you Kaylee!”
“Always a great place to go when in need of some home items to fix up your place. Definitely talk to their experts about any home improvements needed, their great with giving advice and recommendations. Ran in here for some new outlets, great prices. Love the set up, easy to navigate when in a hurry.”
“Yovany in the lumber department is the best. Helped me out finding the right product for the best price and was super accommodating when I brought it back a week later to be re-cut cause I messed up my measurements the first time.”
Lowe's is giving its loyalty program a makeover to better serve small and mid-sized professional contractors. The home improvement retailer has changed its MVPs Pro Rewards & Partnership Program into the new MyLowe's Pro Rewards. The updated program aims to make life easier for professionals while offering more benefits from their first purchase.
Ace Hardware is reimagining itself with a new store concept. The home improvement retailer plans to invest over $1 billion in the next five years to roll out "Elevate Ace" across new and existing locations. The revamped stores will feature brand showrooms, expanded product lines, and enhanced customer service. Some locations will even boast outdoor spaces with live plant displays. Ace gave retailers a sneak peek at the concept during its recent Chicago convention. While a few stores will debut the new look later this year, the full rollout begins in January.
Ace Hardware is hammering out an impressive growth story. The retailer-owned cooperative is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a bang, reaching 5,000 U.S. stores and planning to open 200 new locations in 2024. The company hit a milestone when it opened its 100th new store this year in Henderson, Nevada. Another newcomer, Fixit Ace Hardware in Roswell, Georgia, became the 5,000th domestic Ace store.
In the latest move of its growth plan, leading paint maker Dunn-Edwards just opened 17 new retail locations throughout Northern California. This expansion of physical stores boosts the company's footprint in the region by over 50%.
The expansion caps an exciting time for the nearly 100-year-old company. With its 100th anniversary in 2025, Dunn-Edwards is strengthening its market position through planned growth focused on better serving pros, homeowners and employees.
