“I was more than satisfied with my experience at Homestead doors. The quality was superior to what we are getting from our local suppliers. Tom Sorg was my sales representative which made my experience through the process a pleasure. The only criticism I would make would be that the primed doors could use a quick sanding of the primer on the sticking and the jamb material. I am looking forward to the next project with this company Thank you Rob”
“I’m in the process of building a new home and needed to fit out about 40 interior and exterior doors with hardware. After searching extensively online, I came across Homestead Hardware and was amazed at their prices—so much so that I almost thought it was too good to be true! Wanting to be thorough, I reached out via email, which led me to John—someone I had already read great reviews about. And let me tell you, John is the real deal. From our first conversation, his expertise and professionalism stood out. Not only did Homestead Hardware have the best prices, but John personally helped me configure everything—from door swings to backsets to the details of my many pocket doors. I had all my selections in an Excel spreadsheet, but through multiple email iterations, he patiently helped me get everything right. To top it off, my builder initially estimated a 3-5 week lead time, but once I worked with John and sent in payment, my entire hardware order arrived in less than two weeks! The attention to detail, communication, and overall experience I had with Homestead Hardware was beyond exceptional. If you’re looking for unbeatable prices and top-tier service, this is the place to go. I started out skeptical, but now I’m a believer—Homestead Hardware is the real deal. Highly recommend!”
“I love there prices, but sometimes you end up with defective items. They are Always quick to swap out or refund. They need to update there App with where the items are located in the store . Every time I'm looking for something in a hurry, you have to ask one of the helpful staff it's location. There placement of products throughout the store without reason Boggles the mind.....lol”
“Loved working with the Rural King in Fremont, Ohio for the first time! Every time I called there I spoke to a human instead of an automated system. They also were willing to walk to look to see if my order was there before driving an hour and were very helpful loading my order onto the trailer and correcting the tax exemption on my order. Everyone was very nice and wonderful to work with! Such a great experience!”
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.
