Great local hardware store! Selection could be better. Even if they had items with shelf space in stock all the time, it would be a 5 star place. Convenient and has friendly staff.

Disappointed is an understatement. The place looks like it’s been looted! It’s a total $hit show with products all over. Random stuff in the isles, and general messes all over..I just spent 20 minutes looking to replace two products that I previously purchased at this store. Neither product could be found.After doing about six laps of the entire store, every aisle and the sale bins, not one of the FOUR guys working offered to help. (They are all just hanging out, on phones etc, while music BLASTS!) The store is a mess, & the employees are worthless. I would not ask any of them for painting, or plumbing, or electrical help.Teenage guys on their phones blasting music with a complete mess of a store.It’s too bad! This used to be a great, well organized store!

I dont often shop here, but when I do I am always greeted as I walk in the door and generally find what I need. Ace often carries unique things you dont find at the big warehouse store! I like shopping local. They do have a good rewards program that can save money that off-sets buying from the big chain store.

I totally forgot to make this review over 3 weeks ago 😬 two young gentlemen went above abs beyond the call of duty to help me.I had went to Lowe’s earlier and had received the worst service. When my son tried to send me back I initially refused. He reminded me it would make our process longer and we were short on time. Reluctantly agreed to go as I was leaving I decided to Google and see if there was another place I could go.I was super pleased to be reminded of ACE.I was greeted warmly when I came In the door. All their staff was happy. I wasn’t treated like an annoyance when I had to show them what I needed ... I didn’t know the terminology to verbally explain in detail. They had a huge selection and two men worked together to fry me exactly what I needed.I’m very grateful but guilty I can’t remember their names 🙄Any way ... if you need help their friendly competent staff will help you!

I went to get a key copied for my RV and they didnt have it Walmart also didnt have it but he did give me a card and try to send me on the right direction. I find Ace hardware very helpful and a good place to shop

Great, convenient local hardware store. Friendly service and easy access when I just need something small (wall anchors, today). Its expensive though, so Id never make a large purchase there but it does a great job with its niche.

First off, parking is lame here. No disability, vet or motorcycle parking. You are lucky to get a spot. Went in to get a new key cut for my bike. Dude wouldnt do it cause he didnt trust suzuki keys manufacturing.... Told him to just sell me one of his keys then, he had none. Considering the overpriced lack of selection here, I am forced to wonder why this store is even here.... Would be better as a skate park for kids.

There is a sign on restroom door “For costumers only”but they did not let use restroom for my eleven year daughter saying there is no public restroom in the store.,even I was buying paint I was a costumer, but they did not care.English is my second language but I know that word “Public” and “Costumer “is not the same.Terrible place to shops in place where they do not care about their costumers.

Review №25

Wonderful neighborhood hardware shop. Friendly and helpful staff. Some of them are high schoolers so don’t expect them to know as much as the old hands. They’ll go ask the knowledgeable elders. Typical selection of hardware. Overpriced compared to the big box stores but way more convenient with staff who actually help and know something.

Sh
Review №26

Love shopping here. Very helpful. Hardly a price difference from big box stores, and very happy to pay if it happens to be slightly more. Its worth it because you are paying quality, well made compared the cheap stuff anywhere else. Im support a local family, the local economy, and great service. WIN, WIN, WIN!

Review №29

Here they was nice but turned out they seem to racist against Native Americans. We are not trying to cause a any problems or trouble. at times we talk about like back in the day when it was native land we Lived in teepees and had to bathe in the lakes. We had no lights showers cars. I will stop preaching but it just makes me very upset and sad that some people judge and look at me in a different way from themselves. God does not like ugly and we are all equal and the same inside thats what I have to say thank you have a good and blessed day

I stop here at least once a week to get various things and the staff is always a great help. John and Ben are very knowledgeable and do a great job of training the rest of the staff. I use a lot of different Ace Hardware stores in my travels and Northshore is easily my favorite! Thanks guys and keep up the good work!

Very friendly and helpful. Prices are never more and sometimes even lower than big box stores. As you walk in some greets you and ask if they can help. Usually I know where things are, but if not they take you right to the location and can help you select the exact item you need.

Review №36

Well stocked and well located hardware store in Browns Point area - which needs the store. Prices seemed on the high side, especially compared to other Aces (Hilltop & Pearl locations).Staff was polite. Parking is easy in the lot and there are lots of services in the same complex: Asian grocery, cleaners, pub, etc...

Mo
Review №37

Very high prices usually and so the sales bring the price down to what do you normally would pay at Home Depot or even Lowes. These sales were they offer $5 off require you to spend at least $50 in many cases and the savings is negligible and actually far more than all of the online prices out there. Ive seen many Ace Hardware Stores go out of business and they dont seem to get it. You just cant charge twice the price and stay in business anymore because if you come there for their expertise youre probably coming for a left-handed 3/8 widget which is not very much money. But to buy a beautiful stainless steel BBQ set youre going to pay almost three times what you would say at the big box stores.

If you buy anything here make sure you check the prices the employee that helped me overcharged me for every item what he did not know was I was keeping track on my phone and knew how much it would be before I got to the checkout so buyer beware

These guys have the right selection of useful tools and supplies. The staff are always very helpful. I stupidly ran around to Home Depot and Lowes looking for the right parts. They didnt have them and Northshore Ace had exactly what I needed. Go here first! Support a local business.

Nice employees, but the owner has no help for Veterans. Im a person who wont buy things or deal with stores that dont support Veterans, so it was my 1st and LAST TIME. The best of all I was asking for a donation, was told no, so all I can say is Im glad I didnot spend money there.

Great place to shop small business with a lot of the old time assistance. We came for a shovel and ended spending more time finding other things we had put on the back burner because we kept forgetting to ask.

Very helpful. Needed about 6 in of 12 gauge wire and could only find a package containing 17 feet. The worker heard me complain and took me to a place where he cut wire from a reel and saved me about $9. Great customer service.

Review №73

I will never go to this Ace again. Just because my son had his phone and keys in his pocket and it was bulging he the owner/manager accused his of steel by saying wants in your pocket.. This is wrong!!. He has worked sense he was 13 years old and has always worked for someone to accuse him of steeling. He pulled his phone and keys out and there was nothing else....!! He called my company to see if the check was stolen (which is ok) but you dont accuse someone of steeling until you know for sure...even if you have had a lot of things stolen. My 25 year old Son was very upset... I called the store owner and said how can you do what you did. He said what do you want me to do now. I said I want you to call him up and apologize to him and he said I cant do that.There was an older guy who helped my Son out with a piece of pipe and he was very nice.. My Son would have excepted his apology but I guess he was to good to say Im sorry... Good luck with your store Manager/owner. Ace in Browns point is the place to go.. God bless

Review №86

In my opinion, Ace Hardware is way overpriced. Its like the store is operated for people that have no idea of how home improvement works and they charge a premium on top of everything. I can buy an identical paintbrush from Home Depot for around $4 when Ace charges $9 for the same thing
