“I love the vibe of this place on Saturdays with the jazz band playing while I pick up things for around the house. I won't give marks off for this (it is Texas and I'm a special use case in that I work on a lot of european electronics) but there's zero metric tools/fittings available. Everything is SAE. Other than that pick up a chicken or some shop rags or some cleaning supplies, or a horse saddle. It's all there!”

“Exceptional and Best of the best; Texas Welding Supply is by far the greatest medical and commercial gas supplier in Central Texas. I say this so emphatically that I can honestly say second place is not even close! Their staff (customer service, warehouse and delivery) are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and eager to help. They go above and beyond at every level. I have had multiple experiences with them and they only get better! I wish I could give them 10 stars!”

“Really nice local shop, blows big hardware service out of the water! - Always friendly & they are willing to take the time to hear you out, walk you through the options, & even help you learn the tools. I come here first before I go anywhere else in town for tools and hardware gear. Just wish that they had a bigger selection but the tools are quality and the service is top tier.”

“Reece Bath and Kitchen was a game changer for us. Melissa Moreno was so very helpful and responsive to me. My husband and I had a bathroom remodel and with my lack of experience it was difficult to shop for. I was going between Lowes and Home Depot and Amazon, and I shopped with similar other competitors in the Austin area. It was exhausting. With my smaller bathroom remodel, the other competitors were not very helpful. Melissa changed all of that. She was so helpful. She helped me find what I was looking for at better prices than Lowes and Home Depot. And she was able to provide me with so much more selection than Lowes or Home Depot. I would tell her what I was looking for and she sent me quotes and pictures of the options. She did this time and time again, as I had more and more items that I needed. She was very supportive and detail oriented. And her co-workers including Sarah, were also helpful and responsive as well. I would totally recommend Melissa and Reece Bath and Kitchen as a wonderful option no matter what size your project is. They have access to many options and are not limited to what is on the sales floor. And they can get you a better deal than most other stores.”

“I have used Guardian several times for my company now Strickland Electrical. Twice for a contactor and most recent a cycle sensor relay. Unfortunately they did not have the item I needed as it was discontinued. Robert went above and beyond his service by providing me with an alternative. Along with searching high and low for my original part. I have nothing but the highest regards for Guardian and Robert.”

I almost ordered hardware on Amazon, but you can’t beat the quality at Decor Builders to last decades. There are a ton of options.
