“I recently began exploring veneering and entered the establishment to purchase a roll of oak; however, I was provided with exemplary service that surpassed my expectations. Although I did not note this gentleman’s name, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the courteous and knowledgeable assistance offered in a genuinely respectful and non-patronizing manner. As a female customer, entering a hardware store and seeking advice can often be an intimidating experience due to the prevalence of condescending attitudes. Nonetheless, I left this store feeling empowered and confident because of him. I hope to cross paths with this gentleman on my next visit to express my gratitude, Lee Valley has undoubtedly secured my loyalty as a returning customer.”

“From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, every single employee I encountered greeted me warmly and proactively asked if I needed assistance . A small gesture that made a big impression and set the tone for an outstanding visit!
I was particularly impressed by Nathalie in the wood-cutting department, who delivered some of the best customer service I have experienced in a long time. It was genuinely refreshing to be served by a woman excelling in a field traditionally dominated by men, and she did so with remarkable confidence and expertise.
Nathalie walked me through every step of the process clearly and patiently, presented several options tailored to my needs, and gave me an accurate estimate of how long the cutting would take. Her knowledge is evident, but what truly sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares about the customer experience. You can tell she takes real pride in her work and that enthusiasm is contagious.
This level of service, from every corner of the store, is exactly what keeps customers coming back. I will absolutely return, and I recommend this store without hesitation.”

“I am rating Ray from Appliances at Home Depot on Baseline Road. There was some mix up with the delivery of my Vissani 3.4CF UPRIGHT FREEZER. Ray went out of his way to help me. I finally received my freezer late this afternoon and my old one was hauled away. The driver was very efficient. Catherine Hendley. 19 June 2026”
“I had a wonderful experience at the Home Hardware in Manotick. The customer service here is outstanding.
Peter and Frank were incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They took the time to answer all of my questions, offered practical advice, and genuinely wanted to help me find the right solution.
Shopping here feels very different from the big-box stores. Instead of feeling like just another customer, I felt like I was talking to experienced friends who truly cared. The products are high quality, the prices are very reasonable, and the service is exceptional.
Thank you, Peter and Frank, for your kindness and professionalism. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
