Beaufort Hardware & Paint Company, formerly Beaufort Ace Home Center, is a hometown-focused hardware store with almost 30 years of history. It provides excellent customer service, which is its shining star, with friendly, helpful, and eager employees who offer assistance. The store is always clean and well-stocked, carrying just about everything for home projects, including a large saltwater fishing selection. It has a family feeling, unlike big-box stores, and is known for better prices, better products, and a focus on the customer. Many find it to be far and away the best hardware store in the county.
The place is great if you drive all the way there, but their website blows. Doesn't tell you any prices. The employees are helpful and courteous. If not for the website it'd be five stars for sure.
