Find the helpful hardware folks first and then ask them where those thingamajigs can be found or play a game of charades so they can give name to what youre specifically looking for. They might respond Little Mermaid style: Ive got gadgets and gizmos a-plentyIve got whozits and whatzits galore. You want thingamabobs?Ive got twenty!Walk the daily Fitbit steps in this humongous store in search of a tiny package of glass glue, or n95 mask, or dowel. For an extra hour visit the garden nursery for native grass or white lavender potted plants. If its on the to do list, they probably have it.
Delighted with my purchase experience. I had gone looking to replace my car key battery and had no idea how to chose the right battery or fix it inside the key. Roger was extremely patient with me and fixed batteries in my car keys. He is knowledgeable and fun to speak with. I am very impressed with range of products, customer experience and clear communication from all staff.
They have everything you need. Great selection and more helpful than a big box store.
Very helpful. Staff will lead you to the items you are looking due and help you find them instead of pointing in a direction.
One of the best Ace Hardware companies anywhere. Better than Loews and Home Depot put together!!!
While we all miss Orchard, Ace is convenient for most things. Not as happy with all the Ace generic equivalents for parts like plumbing, etc., but its nice avoiding the Monster warehouse stores sometimes.
My visit here was useful since I found what I needed.I was looking to buy a certain item that home depot didnt have.
Beautiful store, they have it all.. if they dont have it you dont need it because their knowledgeable and helpful employees can tell you a better way,Tools or supplies for the job. Especially Doug in tools. Every wife sent to the store for something you know nothing about knows what Im talking about... Doug made it easy and fast, showed me where all the great deals where and made a tool purchase suggestion that made the job much easier. Thank you Doug. From the girl sent to the store in search of a better way to remove marble counters without them breaking. Someone give that man a raise!
Definitely one of the largest Ace Hardwares around. It is the old Orchard Supply Hardware location. Prices are higher than elsewhere, but the selection of small parts particularly with fasteners is remarkable. Very clean and well stocked.
Lota of stuff, nice but staff was ill informed.Mu h better than a home depot though.
Its OK. It replaced Orchard Supply Hardware and does a just-OK job of doing so. However in trying to be OSH they forgot to be ACE. This store lacks the random bins of various hardware knick knacks that were a main reason I went to the other ACE stores.Also while ACE is very close to TOO helpful at other locations-- being asked if I need help several times, the employees I saw were just talking to each other (key dept) or nowhere to be seen aside from the registers.So this is neither OSH or ACE. I was looking for ACE and Ill have to go to another location. One thing this location has that you wont see at most ACE stores is the big garden section with live plants that they have revived from the old OSH.Paint is also expensive for their middle and entry level choices.
Helpful staff and found everything I was looking for related to a curtain installation in drywall project.
One of the better ACE Hardware stores Ive been in. Large store with lots of unique items. I expect to visit more often in the future.
Super neat and clean. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable.
Best service . Got our weber grill from Ace and Rigo helped us to get exactly what we wanted !!!
I like Ace very much. Friendly staff helpfull. Get everything you need for your home projects
I love the vibe of this location. I had an emptiness in my heart from losing OSH and they filled it by hiring the former members of OSH from SV and Mountain View. That was awesome about the former stores and I am excited to see familiar faces. 😊Great variety in this store, similar to OSH so I will definitely be shopping here instead of the Big Box hardware and garden stores.Thank you Ace for bringing back a community oriented store under a new brand. I am excited to shop for plants again.
Nice small hardware store.
Awesome neighborhood hardware store has everything you need. Great little plant center too and a solid selection of bbqs.
Its a flagship store with many skus.I love this style of store.
Sometimes I find their employees lacking knowledge about specific things like how to do a Co2 exchange.
First time visiting this location since Sunnyvale closed. Store is clean, well organized, and most of all, staff were very friendly and helpful. I liked visiting this store. Although smaller than Lowes or Home Depot, I definitely want to come back again.
Clean and good selection of basically anything. this place has built me a lot of projects, however I got a power tool and the old man helping me had this Nasty scowl and was super unpleasant and was a turnoff for getting more tools. I opted to and continue to build my Milwaukee lineup at home depot, anything but power tools and this place is where I would recommend
Fantastic store and great people seriously, couldn’t ask for better place close to everything.
Outstanding selection of grills, seasonings, fuel and accessories. I had no idea. Will be coming here often.
Great local place to get home improvement needs.
Very organized shelves, prices are a higher to reflect that attention to detail.Come for a pleasant shopping experience, not a bargain
The store is clean and well organized. The most complete selection of nuts, bolts, and other fasteners I have ever seen. The staff is knowledgeable and ready to help.
Nice display items and good price.Well trained employees.
Was sad when Orchard Supply closed, Ace seems to have picked up this location without skipping a beat. Helpful and friendly people inside (had some pvc cut recently very quickly for a gardening project). Also always well stocked. Thanks Ace!
Great selection and very helpful staff that knows where to find things.
Lots of space not much variety .
While this store is clean, well organized, and in a handy location, I have been disappointed to find items I would have liked to buy out of stock. On my last visit they appeared to have a good selection of Christmas items although I was not in the market for that now so I cant comment on the prices. I have found their staff to be helpful, friendly, and efficient.
Good local hardware store with helpful staff. Used to be Orchard Supply.
Super helpful and friendly staff.I prefer this place vs the big box stores.
It was sad to see Orchard Supply Hardware close shop after decades. ACE is Godsend and its super to have them take over the space. Great folks and service. Awesome selections
Maybe Im out of touch but I always thought Ace hardware was the neighborhood hardware store. But this one here in mountain view is pretty darn big... Not quite like a home Depot or an OSH but way bigger than other Ace hardwares and Ive been in.
Great inventory, they value their customers.
Big store, lots of items.But I only went in to get a key copied...
I really like this store and it has a great selection, but right now I have to do curbside pickup and Im giving it 3 stars for its quality control on delivery. Just about every time there has been a mispick of some kind. This last time was the worst when I got two rolls of toilet paper for $49.98 (instead of two cartons). Not even close, and clearly the picker had their eyes shut doing this work. The staff has always courteously fixed any problems and I keep going back. But make sure you check your order while youre there.
Very helpful staff and good selection. Really happy I stopped at this location - thank you!
Came in here to get some plants and the selection was OK. Not a lot of herbs, the succulent section was good, and the fellow who worked in the nursery was helpful.The store is really good about social distancing practices, weve had to wait in line but it wasnt that long of a wait. Everything looked super clean and they wiped the carts down which was nice!
Caveat - I like hardware stores. They usually have the item I came in for, and usually have sufficient employees walking around who can provide assistance in finding items. And the checkout folks are usually very nice
Kinda expensive for everything, and security needs too know their role
Friendly staff, great selection
These people are super nice and helpful everybody wants to help you or theyll get somebody to help you if they cant help you this story is quite pricey but its a very nice store
I wish their website was updated so I know for sure I am going there and be able to find it.
ACE is the place with the helpful hardware...well you get it.
Most of the older employees were not wearing the masks correctly (under their nose) or not wearing a mask at all inside of the store. Were setting record breaking case numbers and death tolls daily in California, it would have been nice to see precautionary measures in line with county orders taken seriously....
Nice place to bring dogs.
They have what you need.
Good selection of paints, adhesives, hardware, tools etc. I was pleasantly surprised at the selection in caulk.
With a great location a few doors down from Costco, this location was renovated toward the end of the OSH era, and it is a physically please store to shop at.This is a midsized store, much larger than most ACE neighborhood shops, and much smaller than the big box competitors. As a result, the selection appears to be slightly better than most ACE stores, with the associated issue of staff not always know exactly where an item is located.This store is still struggling to get the level of foot traffic one would expect from its size, and from not yet having a lot of long tenured staff. If you havent been there recently, it is worth checking out, hopefully with more business we will see improvements in what should be a great local hardware retail location.
I went to get paint and both times louis helped me behind the paint counter and was insanely helpful getting me exactly the color i needed at a really good price and was overall really nice. he is my favorite worker there and whenever i go in i will make sure to look out for him.
Excellent huge stock.
Well stocked large store. Usually little to no wait to get in during Shelter-in-Place (avoid peak weekend). Good continuity after taking over Orchard Supply Hardwares spot, my go-to hardware store for 30+ years.
Staff are always friendly and willing to offer assistance, unlike the other major hardware stores out there.
I’ve been to the store several times since it opened, and the staff has been super helpful every time. The selection is broad and the quality of the products is top shelf. This is my go to store for hardware and home supplies.
Nice new clean looking hardware store. Im so glad they opened it after the last place went out if business. Layout is well done and easy to get around. Check out was quick with no problems.
Very clean and well organized store, with great associates. Highly recommend going there over a larger home improvement store.
I am so happy ACE Hardware is open in this location. It is so convenient for us. I have been there for so many times. You can find all the common things for repairing house, gardening things. Recently I found they repair window screen frames and replace the screens too, that just what I need!
This store has everything! I was able to get gloves, weed killer, steel wool, picture hanger and K cups coffee. Very well stocked & lots of helpful employees
Really nice customer service!! Thank you Paola P for helping us really thankful for your service!!
I would not shop at this store nor order anything online from ace.com. Horrible experience with both. I got the email saying my order was ready for pick up. Went the store waiting for 30 minutes only to have the guy come back and say he couldnt find my order and asked if I wanted to cancel the order or re-order and wait another week for it to come in. I asked for a manger and was told there are none at this location. I called the customer service order desk. Waited on hold for 60 minutes. I was told half the order was in and the other half would be in on Monday. Later in the day I got an email saying that the order was cancelled. I called the customer service desk and waited on hold for 2 hours only for the agent to say there was nothing she can do. The order is cancelled. I will try not to ever shop at Ace Hardware again.
Great selection! And pretty good prices
Best selection of BBQ necessities in the area! My go-to place 😎 they have a big selection of all the Weber grills and smokers, plus many other brands. Prices are good as well and friendly staff.
Excellent staff! Very surprised. Interacted with four ACE people and each one was shockingly knowledgeable friendly and helpful.
Now I know why they say, Ace is the Place! It had just what I needed that Lowes and Home Depot didnt have. I needed special epoxy glue for plastics.. Stag very knowledgeable and helpful.
Its overpriced and the cashier was very rude but they have things other stores dont
All the essentials. Clean and organized.
Im only In the area every 6 to 7 years being from Michigan. Nest hardware store i have been to in the country.
Like this store, layout is a little confusing, plant selection is ok
Very complete inventory and easy to find things. Very knowledgeable guy helped with plumbing fittings.
Had exactly what I needed, the Ace way, in n out 5 minutes!
This store replaced the Orchard Supply that Lowes closed. Happy to say that its a great store. They carry things that the box stores dont. The hardware and fastener section is diverse and well stocked. The store employees are helpful and knowledgeable.
The employee that assisted me was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and courteous.
A hardware store with good prices and selection, plus helpful staff. I dont like this locations layout, its confusing to me for some reason.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff here. I had some basic questions and left the store with a bucket full of knowledge!
This location was formerly an Orchard Supply Hardware for many years. OSH had previously expanded the store in the twenty-teens to a large format filling a niche between a typical neighborhood hardware store and a full-size Home Depot or Lowes.ACE renovated the layout once again when they took over, but kept the medium-large format with a garden center, power tool aisle, hardware section with a good variety of metric and specialty fasteners, work clothes, housewares, etc. They cut keys. The sell barbecues. They sell common project metals like mild steel and aluminum by the rod, tube, angle and sheet. They have a small-ish lumber selection but definitely have the essentials like 2x4 and plywood. They sell propane. They exchange 5 gallon water jugs.Besides the inventory, there are lots of thoughtful touches in this store, like putting pickling salt next to the mason jars.All that said, dont expect them to have everything for every project. Recent example, they dont carry scroll saw blades. Which is fine. Thats not a tool most shoppers will be looking for.
New place so the staff isnt yet fully trained or very handy themselves to make suggestions. However, they are helpful and available.Nice selection of items and smaller format than big stores so that is nice.
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable workers here.
This is the largest ACE Hardware Ive seen. The place was organized well unlike other location. Employees are very nice and helpful.
Floor clerk very helpful, Cashier pleasant.
This store is over priced but the staff is helpful
What a great customer service experience. I had come to the store with my baby yesterday to purchase a cooler that was on sale for Father’s Day but ended up not getting it because I didn’t have help (I also didn’t ask though) with the plan to come back today sans baby. I actually ended up at another Ace only to find out they no longer were having the sale, and they did not want to honor it. Desperately needing a cooler for our upcoming road trip I called this location, and spoke with one of the managers who told me another manager would call me back. I honestly didn’t think I’d get a callback but the wonderful manager by the name of Rigo called me back and was kind enough to honor the discount. So thankful to have kind people at my neighborhood ACE! Thank you so much!
Perhaps the most helpful experience I have ever had in a hardware store from directions to find items, to information about what I was purchasing to the checkout. Sign of good management! Also, a very large, spacious and well-planned store with ample parking
My favorite hardware store. Clean, tidy and very helpful staff.
Indoor shopping, quick lines. Live pine trees outdoors.
Surprisingly they have a great greeting card selection. Typical hardware supplies plus loads of grills and work clothes. Nice people working there.
Pretty much OSH resurrected - its really nice to have a large complete hardware store thats not Home Depot!
Better than Home Depot!!
Just like Orchard Supply, theyre smaller footprint give you better service. The prices are little higher but you definitely make it up in the long run
I can always find what I needs. Love the plants they have.
Nice to see Ace re-open this store. Seems well stocked & well layed out.
Large, clean, and well stocked. Formerly an Orchard Supply Hardware store. (2019)
All the employees are great. I needed assistance, and I was able to get it right away. They are all team players. I needed to pick up something from the pickup area, but the employee was on his lunch. He was kind enough to call for help and someone came right away.
Store is well lit. And there always seems to be a person nearby to offer assistance...
