“A DIY and ADHD person's paradise! They have everything you could look for and it isn't a Home Depot where there's no one when you need someone. I got greeted as soon as I entered and there was someone there to help whenever I even just looked lost. They are so kind! They also have so many different BBQ sauces and seasoning it's crazy! I always love supporting Ace Hardware over Home Depot. You'll see why when you go inside! Plenty of parking and lots of little knickknacks for home goods as well. They have these cool Seattle Seahawks light up signs behind the counter for sale!! So dope! They have cute home goods for gifting, lots and lots of greeting cards, water bottles, bird feeders and seeds, garage storage, car needs, even little kids toys Montessori style~ If I wasn't in an hurry I'd look at all of them”
“Honestly, my favorite store in town. It’s fun for the whole family and good good people. Friendly guys and gals, always willing to let me bounce ideas off of them. Mat the owner has a heart for the community. Always choose them over big box stores and Amazon when I can. Keep these guys in business..a staple of our town.”
“Helpful staff. Lots of stock. They are not trying to sell weird lobster Halloween merchandise in August. There’s probably a few things I could put on my Christmas list.”
“This is THE must stop hardware store for any wannabe MacGyver who is trying to get stuff done. Forget about the big box hardware stores where you can't find any help... And if you do they aren't pleased to help you. Here at McLendon hardware not only are they helpful and very knowledgeable, they enjoy it! Fair prices and Nordstrom level service. I highly recommend McLendon hardware.”
“Love the folks at Dunn. Bellevue especially. See them most every day and they work their tails off to get me out the door and rolling to the jobsite. Shout out to Kaleb in the yard. Always got a smile on his face and as helpful as one can be.”
“Had an issue with a power washer and Seattle Pump and Equipment provided support step by step from the first inquiry phone call to picking up the machine. Calls were returned promptly and with excellent customer service. I was very grateful for their professionalism, final outcome and ease of working with them.”
“Very nice hardware store with a great selection. The employees were helpful, everything was easy to find, and checkout was quick. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Great people is what makes a great business, and Central Welding Supply in Redmond exemplifies that. Michael who is on staff there is knowledgeable and very helpful. If that isn't enough, he is also super kind. You always leave the store knowing that they took good care of you.”
“10/10 experience at Ace Hardware in Renton Highlands! Trevor, Alex, and Sherry were all so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They actually made a trip to the hardware store fun, which I didn’t know was possible 😂. The store was clean, organized, and had a surprisingly great selection. These three definitely deserve some recognition for their amazing customer service. Cannot say enough good things about this team. I’ll definitely be back! ❤”
“Very happy with the service and that east side saw stands behind their work. I brought in a 29” buzz saw that needed sharpened and straightened. Although they did not achieve a tuned saw blade the first time they took it back in at no extra charge and brought it into with in 1/32 of an inch after it was out half an inch.”
“I needed to get outdoor sconces and flood lights. Kasim and Steve had the best service. I swear this is the first time anyone at Home Depot, Lowe's, Mclendons, insert hardware store name here, has ever asked me if I needed help! I used to dread going to hardware stores because I knew I'd get lost, frustrated, and shamed into leaving because no one was there to help me. No longer is that the case at the Redmond Home Depot! Kudos to you, Kasim and Steve, for providing me with top tier service. You both deserve a raise! I plan to visit the Redmond store more frequently now, even though the Issaquah location is closer to me. It's worth it for the excellent service!”
“Friendly, helpful people. Excellent, top quality marine products. This is the factory, but they will sell to the public. Order by catalog for shipping, or pickup at the factory is OK. There is no showroom or store, only a small reception area.”
“This is like good will but for bigger items like furniture and appliances. You can also find some smaller items. There were lots of dog toys and the like and a few very good pieces is furniture”
“Lowe's contractors are solid, just make sure that all red is not one of the companies doing business for your HVAC project.There are some good people at Allred.However, Matt Allred and his wife stole over one million dollars from me and my family after promising us partnership for years of underpaid devotion.Matt lied to his own brothers wife.Yes, I can prove it. Greedy, lying scumbags that hide behind their cultiish Mormonism.”
“Made a second visit to this location and needed advice of an electrical nature. Good advice was given cheerfully and I am appreciative. Some parts were hard to find and selections were not as great as I would have preferred, but all in all a successful visit.”
“My husband and I have been looking for non big box options for our home remodeling lighting needs--we're pretty tired of seeing the same bathroom sconces and outdoor lamps at Lowes, Home Depot, and even Seattle Lighting. Enter North Coast Electric. Friendly, approachable and low key staff! You don't feel like you're going to be directed to the $1000 crystal chandeliers! Then the selection--they have an amazing array of options from a very very wide variety of vendors. Table and bedside lamps, ceiling fans, chandeliers, outdoor lighting, bathroom mirrors--absolutely darling kids' lamps as well that I've never seen anywhere else. Prices seem very competitive, especially when you take into account the customized options available, wide variety of choices, and the cheerful employees. Give North Coast a try!”
“We were shopping for front door hardware and assumed we'd go to Ferguson. Lo and behold, Ferguson only sells door hardware online. Fortunately we discovered Chown Hardware in Bellevue. What a great showroom! What great employees! Tim Murray was really helpful in the store, the product was delivered in a few days and I'm very pleased with the purchase. In the showroom I handled the hardware I was planning to order online (from Ferguson) and didn't like it at all. I found something I liked much more in person in the showroom.”
“The guy at customer service i think his name was Greg was super help. He helped me cut lumber and gave me some solid advice to improve the project I was working on.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with the BFS team in Issaquah. After getting ridiculously high quotes from other, well known, local suppliers and builders, we went to BFS to get quotes for materials. Not only was BFS far more competitive on materials pricing, Jim and Shawn introduced us to Highland Decking for our deck project. Highland Decking was also very competitive on price for labor, and they went above and beyond to do all the small things to give us the results we wanted (i.e. fixed electrical outlets and siding on the fly). I would highly recommend checking with BFS and Highland for any of your projects. I know I'll be back!”
“The gentleman named Jim was the best employee I have ever met at a Home Depot. Very professional and just an overall Awesome guy to help you. Even when there’s a bit line, he gets through it quick and friendly”
“Service was exemplary. I was greeted immediate and directed to an aisle where I could find needed materials. Once there and a little lost, I was rescued by another associate. Both were knowledgeable in both what I was working on as well as the store product that would best fit my needs. Checkout was a breeze with a Real Live Checker (I hate self checkout), and I was on my way minutes after arriving. Thanks Home Depot!”
“I couldn’t find a specific item and I asked an employee for help. We didn’t find what I needed but when I was about to leave Logan (the guy who helped me out) stopped me right before I left and had found with exactly what I was looking for, give that guy a raise!”
“I found what I needed at a fair price. Mitch was particularly helpful in selecting and loading my purchases. Home/garden/DIY projects can be overwhelming, but knowing there are nearby customer representatives who are conscientious and knowledgeable really helps.”
“After 45 minutes of getting jerked around on the phone ( dropped calls, transferred to wrong departments, with more holds at the Southcenter location I contacted the ProDesk in Issaquah and got ahold of Nathan. He totally understood what I was trying to purchase and that I need to pick it up same day. He tried really hard to check inventory at multiple stores”
“Made a second visit to this location and needed advice of an electrical nature. Good advice was given cheerfully and I am appreciative. Some parts were hard to find and selections were not as great as I would have preferred, but all in all a successful visit.”
“This Lowe's went above and beyond for us. We pulled into the parking lot 15 minutes before closing. Hamish along with a few other employees were quick to help us when we needed extra help making sure a fire on our hay trailer was completely put out. We are so thankful for the quick response and extra help with the matter. Can't say enough about the wonderful customer service and help we received, and we are so so grateful! Definitely go support this Lowe's!”
“We visited the Issaquah Lowes Garden Center today around 11:15. We were immediately greeted by J.T. With Lowes. He made sure that we found what we needed. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He assisted us load our vehicle which is a pay and the. Drive up to items needed in the gated section. We are always impressed with the Garden Center service and the help that they provide. Thank J.T., keep up the great service that you provide, people really appreciate that nowadays.”
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.
