Coxs is always a great place to get me out of a jam I find great deals there and theyre always helpful and courteous. Lots of brands and styles to pick from.

A little overpriced but its more organized and you get more help from the staff if you ask for what youre doing. You can get your stuff really quick, and have a very large variety of screws anchors hardware. Definitely recommend this spot. The only thing I can say is a lot of the wood is very Warped, this is just my experience that every time I go there its like that. But other than that everything inside the stores pretty good.

This is one of the best independent hardware & lumber stores in the Houston area.The store is well stocked with quality products. Its clean and merchandise presentation is excellent. Store associates are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.In this age of big box retailers like Home Depot and Lowes, it good to see a locally owned store like this thriving.

The is a gem of a hardware store that still impresses me on every visit. The customer service associates really go out of their way to help you find what you need. They have fasteners and products that the big-box stores dont have, all at reasonable prices. They also have a better quality-selection of bits, hammers, etc. Also love their glass-cutting service—way cheaper than Binswanger.

I have been coming here for many years. You can always find someone to give you good help. Unusually good and friendly service. Old fashioned in that way but well stocked. I cant think of a better hardware store in Texas.

Better than big box hardware but still with problems of finding available help. Out of a lot of stuff need for the storm. Best way to get help is stand in line at check out and then ask for help. Returns are difficult, even if product is being returned for being faulty such as wall patch too dried out to use.

The most products meticulously organized behind anti theft glass I have ever seen. Great customer service and the prices beat the big guys on most things. If your short a few nuts and bolts please I encourage you to visit and not find that part your needing, as long as its not a BNC to RCA adaptor, everything else there golden $]

I have been shopping at cox hardware for 25 years. they have always been courteous to me. never rude. i know the owner v. cox and his family. they are the nicest people you will ever meet. i ask for help from a girl that was at the top of a ladder stocking items. she immediately stopped what she was doing and walked me across the store to another persons department to show me the item. (try to get that at lowes or home depot.) they have the cheapest prices in houston . cheaper than lowes or anybody else even though the big stores order millions of dollars at one time, they cant beat cox hardware. i read a review about not being able to get an item during the recent freeze. they stock about 50pcs or more of each plumbing item. (how much more can you stock?) they have hard to find items that you will never find or order at lowes or home depot. example-schedule 80 pvc and fittings. (try to find that in houston). i give them 5 star and A++ for as long as i can remember.

First visit here. A friend recommended this place for a specific item I was looking for. I had been waiting for over a month to come here. Finally drive across town going in late to work to make it here and they were out of the specific item size I needed. They had like three employees help look as they showed it was in stock, but no one found it. I was told they hadn’t done inventory in a while, okay I guess. Then when the manager Chris asked how I was doing I explained and asked if he would offer me the size up at the same price since they were out of the one I needed and I finally made the trip here. He said no but I’ll knock off 10%. I said of my whole purchase he said no just the one item. WOW saved me a $1, no thanks. Why do I want to overpay for the wrong size. It’s not about the cost but more about the moral. I’ll just order the right one I need online from amazon or from someone who has the exact size of what I need I guess. Yet brick and mortar stores wonder why their losing business to online purchases.I was looking forward to coming back here because it seems like a cool spot but I’ll stick to online or local places closer to home.

I work for a local manufacturing company called Nema Enclosures and i would much rather come here than to Home Depot or any other hardware store. Ive been coming here for a little over 5 years and this place feels like home, everyone is always smiling and willing to help. Im here at least twice a week!

Went in to look for some dowels. No one knew what a dowel was. I had to Google it and show someone the picture of what I was talking about. For a small business you would think they would know what they are selling. The good thing is they had it stocked once I showed someone what I was looking for.

If you dont want to waste your time running around town looking for hardware items, go to Cox Hardware and Lumber. Its in a safe neighborhood and family owned for 70 years. Everyone is very professional and helpful. In the future, I wont even bother with hardware stores other than Cox Hardware and Lumber. The extra five minutes to get there is well worth the time since it is one stop shopping.

Small local hardware. You should definitely ask for help, the location is small compared to the franchise hardware stores, so some items are hard to find on your own. The staff is very helpful.

Youll be hard pressed to find better customer service. EVERY employee Ive requested help from has successfully answered my query. They could be on one end of the store and direct you to your item on the other end, and that nice lady with her hair in a bun who works in the back has probably forgot more about plumbing than youll learn in a lifetime
