“Finally decided to stop in and check out this Ace Hardware today. I build all accross the carolinas and this is now my go to spot for tools, bits, blades, metal rod stock, fittings, and the little odd pieces you can't get anywhere else. I was surprised and impressed by the selection. Gardeners, home owners(fixers), and craftsmen, this is your home now!”

“I love this place! The owners are incredibly friendly and always help you find something or answer questions you may have. Prices are good, especially considering how far out they are, I was expecting to pay much more for stopping there. And I love the fact that when I walk in they always ask if I need help, it's a rather large place and if you don't visit often you could spend ages looking for what you need so that is always a plus for me. They have a little bit of everything everything you could need too, from oil, to random tools, to small parts, and of course ammo. It's great a great place to stop by.”

“Amazing! The BEST experience from purchase to delivery one could hope for. Add to this the factor that you dealing with a genuine family owned local business. Myth: The big box stores (and we are members of 2 of them) have better deals than a locally owned business. In the past we have purchased several large appliances from the giants. Recently, our Generac whole home generator came from COSTCO. However, when you factor into your purchase the service, after sale LOCAL support (no 800Menu nonsense) advice, and substantial rebates, buying from Atlantic Appliance is one of the easiest decisions you will make regarding major appliances. Our experience (briefly): Our salesman Carl directed us to the best deal available on a high quality GE Profile Dishwasher. He arranged for reasonable and reliable installation through a local plumber and took care of every detail. An issue arose on the day of delivery: The dishwasher model we ordered was discovered to be dented at the warehouse. We had both taken off from our volunteer duties at NHRMC in expectation of an 8AM installation. We were upset. What to do? Mark, the manager of Atlantic Appliance, did not hesitate to upgrade the model we paid for to the next level (a professional model) and still arranged for installation on the same day! Think you could get that from a big box store? Not a chance. By the way, when you call for service on a big box store purchase, who do you think they send? That's right - Atlantic Appliance!”

“Great industrial hardware supply house tucked into the back of an old marina so easy to miss from the main road. However they've got a pretty good size spread of tools, supplies, and equipment for most mechanical and some electrical trades. Awesome guys to work with.”

“I went to Leland Ace hardware yesterday. Josh was so very helpful to solve the electrical cord extension that I needed for a hanging light. He understood the problem and figured out what was needed to solve the issue. I have to commend Josh for going above and beyond. That is what I call great customer service which is so difficult to find these days.”

“These guys saved the day on a change order for a property an hour down the road. They educated me, understood what needed to be accomplished, and provided me with the necessary fasteners that I was not able to locate at five other stores down the road. These guys are very niche and very valuable. Without their help second hand, my client would have had a very different experience. Thank you guys!”

“Always an excellent experience dealing with the team at Fortiline in North Charleston. Whether you need pipe, valves, or specific fittings for a water or sewer project, they either have it on hand or get it sourced fast. The inside sales staff is highly knowledgeable and doesn't waste your time, and the yard crew gets you loaded up safely and efficiently. Great pricing, reliable inventory, and dependable service—they’re definitely our go-to distributor in the Lowcountry for underground utilities.”

I got my hardware package and everything was clearly Labeled and it was correct, Which is something we are not used to. I will be personally running every bit of my business through them now.

“Craft American Hardware is the kind of neighborhood hardware store every community hopes to have. Walking in feels like stepping back to a time when businesses truly knew their customers. Every time I’ve been there, they’ve had exactly what I needed—and usually more options than I expected. Best of all, the staff is exceptional. They don’t just point toward an aisle; they’ll walk you to the exact product, explain the differences, answer your questions, and make sure you leave with the right solution. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind. There’s a culture here that feels light, like joyful neighbors helping neighbors. It’s the kind of place where you feel welcome, remembered, and appreciated. I also love that I can support a local business without having to fight traffic or wander through a massive fluorescent warehouse store. If you live in Wilmington or near Wrightsville Beach, this is the first hardware store I’d recommend. Great selection, outstanding service, and a team that truly cares, helps, and has fun doing it.”

“The owners of this business are incredibly fortunate to have an employee as knowledgeable and amazing as Eric. He diagnosed and fixed an issue I’ve been having with my Ego Mower in less than 20 minutes. He explained what happened and took care of it easy breezy. Unless I can save $20+ on an item, I’ll be doing all of shopping here instead of Lowe’s. No doubt.”

“This Lowe’s has become my go-to whenever I need something for the house or one of my projects. I really appreciate being able to walk in, find what I need, and know there’s usually someone willing to help when I have a question. The employees I’ve dealt with have treated me with patience and respect, and that matters to me. I’ve made plenty of trips here over the years, and I keep coming back because I’ve consistently been treated well. Definitely a five-star experience for me.”

“Had to run in Home Depot today to grab some storage containers. I saw on the app they were on sale and we needed a few to put things in. This store is huge lol it's been a while since I've been in a Home Depot and actually walked around. Everything has its place that's for sure and the app lets you know what isle you can find what you are looking for. A new feature for the military discount of some don't know already. You'll need to go online and upload proof this meaning your military ID ( mark out important things) they just need to see service date etc . For me I didn't, because I'm getting so I don't trust uploading things like that just to get a discount. Home Depot you just need to have employees ask to see it that's all. But, of course evokes self checkout these days. So, with that being said I'd have given 5 stars as I do like Home Depot, however due to the inconvenience this can cause elderly people to figure this out.”
