“I have used this company multiple times for garage door remotes and parts. Each time they are very helpful and get me exactly what I need. Highly recommend these guys!”
“This is the best hardware store west of the Mississippi. Plenty of helpful staff on hand standing at attention and ready to help. They went above and beyond the call of duty for me today. I needed a sheet of diamond sheet metal to replace the grill grate in my charcoal grill, and I needed it cut to size. They had the grate, then carefully measured and cut it to my specifications. Come here for all of your DIY projects! Thanks again, Stokes Folks, and God bless! Justin”
“Wonderful person Erik Sosa, gave excellent and prompt service. They cut the glass right at the spot while I was waiting. Grounded edges to our satisfaction. Good place for all glass needs.”
“Flawlessy smooth process from start to finish. They provided me a quote over the phone when I first reached out, and I was able to schedule them to come measure the day after I closed on my home so we could get the ball rolling quickly. Cesar was very low pressure. He made a few suggestions, some I accepted and others I did not. He listened to what I wanted, and we ironed out a plan that would work. Installation crew showed up on time and got right to work. Props to the guys for working around my dogs, too. I had workers outside the home at the same time and could not put my dogs outside, so they were tethered to me on their leashes. One is very reactive and dislikes strangers. The installation crew was great about giving a verbal heads up if they were going to pass through the room giving me a chance to redirect my reactive dog. By the time the installation was done, my dogs couldn't have cared less about their presence. The crew cleaned up after themselves. The door looks fantastic, and I can't wait to enjoy it.”
“The Bayou City Bolt Company team is awesome! These folks have been serving Houston since the 1960s! My pool pump took a dump and I needed 4 11/4” #6 stainless steel panhead machine screws to put her back together. Local to me in Missouri City, Lowe’s and The Home Depot didn’t have it. Fastenal wouldn’t even let me through the door without a business license. Grainger couldn’t get it done either. Drove over to Bayou City Bolt and got exactly what I needed. No minimum purchase, no account application needed, no BS. Bolts haven’t changed since the sixties, but the level of knowledge, service, attention to detail, and selection sure has changed. (And not in a good way) Love the look and feel of this place. Calm, cool, very organized and a true blast from the past. Definitely worth the drive from anywhere and will be my first stop in the future.”
“Soots was super super helpful knowledgeable and patient with my daughter and I in getting everything we needed for my daughter's ffa project! Give her a raise”
“This is the kind of place I wish I can explore more thoroughly without a timer of any kind hanging above my head. The place smells pleasant and is otherwise vast! Upon entry an employee will greet you and ask what you are searching for that way they can guide you to what you may be looking for in specific! In fact, I say this because this is what happened on the 29th when I was searching for a splitter coaxial cord. Very good people and a very lovely establishment worth recommending.”
“Old school store built on good inventory good folks and customer service. I've been a steady customer since it was a hole in the wall and the former owners would only turn on the lights for a paying customer. Oh fond memories of my early years in Houston. If you can't find what you need here you may not need it bad enough, they have everything that I have ever needed. Fasteners, tools, plumbing, electrical, painting you name it you can find it here.”
“Very knowledgeable staff. The class atmosphere was very grounding and the experience of using a variety of tools was invaluable. It was quite satisfying to make my own cutting board. This is definitely one of those rare places where people still have genuine appreciation for crafting things from scratch. I especially appreciate kind and patient teaching staff. Sam gets 10 stars for dealing with noob with zero experience. Classes are very popular and fill up far in advance. They would absolutely be popular summer camp option or even week long hands on intro to woodworking for young people. Worth every penny.”
“We were looking for a very specific Webber Genesis grill and drove from Fulshear because this store had it in stock. Bahman, the store Manager, was incredibly helpful and took the time to show me all of the features and options. Great store, great people.”
“Extremely nice and professional. I have been there x 2 and this time had a flat tire (first time in this car) and Mr. Martini was super helpful and nice. He went the extra mile and plugged the hole in my tire and put air in the flat and spare. I'm extra grateful for his kind attention.”
“They had the part I needed for a old fridge. Super easy to deal with. Yes I could have used Amazon but the company wasn't that far off and they had the part today.”
“Believe it, or not, this is one of my "candy" stores! ? I really turn into a big kid with "I want, I want!!! ? So, I really have to have a list or have researched first online for what I am looking for! Since I am maturing, I promised myself more wheels in my life, instead of using my back. I have been looking for a garden utility cart with at least 10 inch wheels. Low and behold Harbor Freight beat everyone out! In the store. I ran across the manager, Cole, and told him I would need help getting the item off the shelf and loaded. (Recovering from being "under the weather"!). He said no problem and got me the help I needed. The store was busy, but Cole's team kept the line moving!!! Nick was the young man who checked me out, very personable and helpful with loading my car. I only had to pull up close to the door. This visit was most definitely an A-1 visit!!!??”
“Today I had particularly good service from an employee named Raziel, who helped me with the very minute details of my auto air panel which needed a few replacement hardware pieces. In what should've been a simple job it was not due to the age of my vehicle with a couple of complexities. He actually looked into my truck to figure out the exact hardware needs. It went well beyond good service just for a few dollars sale. (Thanks to Nicole as well taking her time with me.) Ace is amazing between their expertise, kindness, and rewards coupon system. They also have a post office inside which I love. If I was at that big orange store, I'd still be waiting in line for someone to help me lol. Thanks Ace!!!”
“Hi I went to Hamilton hardware store on 5230 highway 6 north houston tex 77084 and a lady called Valarie was so understanding ,good listener , friendly outstanding customer service I explain what I need it she even walked me there and showed me everything ? they had on those products of calendars ((keep up the great job you and the rest of your team thank you again”
“I went into the Market Street location with the intention to cancel my account because no one could answer my question on why there is such a high Hazmat charge on my invoices going up every month. Mark Heyman took control of the situation and I will continue to be an Airgas customer very satisfied. Thank you Mark for using common sense instead of technology to satisfy a long term customer.”
“If you need budget tools, this is the place. If you are looking for something very specific, this is the place. Friendly staff. Great prices. Very organized. Sign up for the membership, great deals and gifts with membership”
“Great service with on time delivery. Service manager kept me informed of repairs as they progressed. Returned my unit in a timely manner with al issues resolved.”
“I had such a great experience at this Ace Hardware store! I was looking for some custom bridesmaid engraving and they offer same-day turnaround on their engravings— such a life saver!! Team member, Jacob, and store manager, Brian, were so helpful and kind! Will definitely be back for their services!”
“Star Furniture is a very nice top of the line furniture store. Their sales people have been with them for many years & have very pleasant personalities & they are not pushie in any way. They have the most beautiful showrooms & lovely furniture of every kind. We will be making another visit very soon..”
“Dang. I find it a rare occurrence when I can just go to a place and get the hardware I need the same day… and I buy some uncommon hardware. Most of the time at Grainger and Fastenal I get told the items I want will take about 3-5 days to arrive. If I’m lucky, I can pick up maybe 1/5 of my order today and wait for the rest to arrive. Not today. Thanks to The Nut Place. I order only metric (get with the program) and the Nut Place had exactly what I needed: bolts, locking nuts and washers, all 8.8 steel, all zinc coated. No mixing and matching. No “half your order is in metric and the other half we’ll have to do imperial”. None of the “bolts are galvanized nuts and washers are zinc coated”. Just exactly what I wanted. No compromise. Company card so I can’t speak to the price and how it compares to others but when the others can’t deliver, the cost of convenience is worth every penny. Bottom line: this place COULD have the worst customer service and I’d still give them 5 stars because they do what other industrial supply companies WISH they could do. Take note, Grainer and Fastenal. Ps. please expand from Texas, the rest of the country needs you.”
“Great place to go when you need automotive wire by the ft.. when I walked in I was greeted and told what aisle number, as I walked in that direction I heard someone on the intercom that there will be a customer needing assistance on the aisle I am walking towards, assistance was waiting there as I approached explaining what I was needing she founded the product cut, tag and I was on my way. Great staff!”
“Michael helped me today at ace and was extremely kind and helpful. You can just tell when the employees have the interest to help the customers. Michael exceeded my expectations”
“Great place for hydraulic and hard to find fittings. The guys there will help you best they can every time. Definitely check them out next time you need hydraulic fittings or lines”
“Excellent customer service, they feel like a partner and it is a very relaxed interaction. Your friendly neighborhood bolt supplier! They will teach you things about what you're purchasing and will be honest about what you do and do not need without upselling. Great inventory. Easy parking.”
“We had a great experience with Vincent! He has so many years of experience and is so knowledgeable about appliances. He can tell you every detail/specs, pros/cons about every stove and rangetop in every brand, without having to look it up! With all the decisions we had to make during our renovation, Vincent made the choice for our stove and venthood so much easier and less stressful.”
“This gentleman stopped by in the Chase bank parking lot and seen my employees struggling to unlock their crane truck. He popped the door open with ease out of the kindness of his heart! Awesome fella! He was so quick about it, unfortunately I didn’t catch his name. But I will always remember this company. Thank you sir!”
“I had an outstanding experience with Empire Tool! The customer service was absolutely immaculate — professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and truly above and beyond. Their warehouse and selection of tools were incredible. If there is a tool you are looking for, I honestly believe there is a very good chance Empire Tool has it. I was extremely impressed by the variety, organization, and overall operation. As far as I’m concerned, Empire Tool went way over the top to provide excellent service and a great customer experience. It is refreshing to do business with a company that clearly values its customers and takes pride in what they do. I highly recommend Empire Tool to anyone looking for quality tools and exceptional customer service. Definitely a five-star experience!”
“😊 Great experience at this Harbor Freight! For some reason, my GPS routed me to this location even though it’s about 20 minutes farther than the Harbor Freight closest to me, but I’m glad it did. The customer service here was excellent! I worked with Mike, who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I ended up signing up for an Inside Track Club membership again. This is my second time having a membership with Harbor Freight, and with the amount of great inventory and deals they offer, I decided it was worth joining again. I’ve been shopping at Harbor Freight for about 10 years, and aside from the excellent customer service I’ve experienced at some locations in Virginia, this was easily one of my best experiences. I’ve visited several Harbor Freight locations in Texas, and unfortunately, the customer service hasn’t always been great. This location was completely different. The store was clean, organized, and well-stocked. The employees were friendly, the product knowledge was excellent, and I received plenty of help without ever feeling pressured. Mike definitely helped make this a five-star experience. I’ll gladly drive past the Harbor Freight closest to me and come back to this location instead. Another bonus is that it’s conveniently located near plenty of other stores, so you can knock out several errands while you’re in the area. Great store, great inventory, and outstanding customer service. Definitely a great find. I’ll be back!”
“We are doing a total renovation on our home. So far we have purchased bathroom floor tile, shower tile, flooring for the entire home, kitchen cabinets and countertops from this Prosource. We love everything and still have more to buy from them! Working with Sarah on the cabinet design was such a breeze. She is very professional, friendly and helped out with any questions or concerns we had. The manager Eric was a huge help with all the specs, as well. I highly recommend this location!”
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.
