Fairmount Hardware is a neighborhood institution, with good reason. Dave, the owner, goes out of his way to help non-professionals with their projects, large and small. He wired a lamp for me, he also cut glass to put in a frame I had, saving me the expense of having a framer do it.
I think he tries to impart to the young people he hires to work in the hardware store as much of his wisdom as possible. Yesterday, he instructed a young trainee as to how to remove a bit of rust on a porcelain plaque I brought in.
Today, another trainee made a great suggestion as to how I might attach the plaque to a Target basket with wingbolt nuts and butterfly screws, rather than the furniture nails I’d bought the day before.
The clerk at the cash register gave me a credit for the unused furniture nails I had bought the day before and deducted the cost of the two wingbolt nut and screws —you cannot get better service than that anywhere.
Hail Dave and his team!

Mom and Pop hardware shop run like they care about the community, and service they're providing. Aiden took great care of me and fixed my frame even though he could have told me to come back later. I appreciate you.

Ace hardware on Faiirmont is convenient to Center City. It is well stocked with the basics & some special products I like such as Howard's floor and cleaning products. And the staff are always helpful!

Morris and Frankie (i think i am remembering correctly) managed to successfully copy my FRENCH apartment key super quickly and for such a reasonable price! Incredible, amazing, thank you so much!

The employees here were rude. Very obvious they could care less about providing any sort of help or assistance to customers

I've had a positive experience the handful of times I've come in. It's always something last minute and minor--like trying to find the right random lightbulb or getting the right bolt/nut sizes for missing parts. Staff always has been helpful and quick to get me what I was looking for.

I’ve always went here since before COVID and they’ve been great in the past. Not as high quality as before, mostly due to different staff. The girl behind the counter didn’t speak a word and didn’t seem all there. Great inventory for a local store if you need to grab a single item.

Rude staff. High prices. I was willing to pay more to support local business, but not anymore.
