This is a smaller hardware store compared to those huge box stores but I can usually get an answer from anyone that works there quickly and most of the time accurately. Looked for a hose end cap and the guy close buy said he saw them and quickly helped find a pack. Looked for some weather stripping and the woman behind the paint desk knew exactly what isle. Bonus, us veterans get a discount. I show the my vet is and good to go. Thank you.
I started going here as a kid with my grandpa, now as a forty-something homeowner I like it even more. The nuts and bolts selection is epic and I’ve never failed to find what I needed. They have a great selection of everything else too. They have knowledgeable employees staffed in the different areas which is a welcome change from other big home improvement stores. Generally they have great prices, but every now and then you’ll find something a random product that’s way overpriced.
They have amazing staff and always have the odds and ends we need to get things put together right!
Theres no place in NE Portland with better selection, competitive prices, varied selection or more knowledgable employees than Parkrose Hardware. For a complete novice with regards to home repair and improvement as myself, I am always thankful for assistand in finding what I need, and learning how to use it. I wouldnt shop anywhere else for hardware, gardening/landscaping, or home improvement needs.
Best chain hardware store in the area. Knowledgeable helpful staff. There was a sudden massive line at checkout and within 3 minutes they had every lane open. Excellent fastener selection, if youre looking for something hard to find, check here. Theyre quite a bit out of my way but have been worth the trip every time.
The greeter! The young lady at the front with the most beautiful eyes and disposition was am exceptional employee. All if the employees from that point of entry was phenomenal. We went into almost every department and each employee was as gracious as the next. Thank you for changing my mind about Parkrose Hardware employees. The store was clean as always and put together well. The isles are wide and almost lead one from one item to the next item that compliments the one before. BRAVO!!!!!
The knowledge and service I received in the paint department is the best I’ve ever had. The associate took the time to show me different products as well asked questions to ensure I was taking home the right product. She was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.
Great service, helped with my parts order, fast and effective!
Hardware PLUS MORE!I remembered they stocked great birthday cards! Drove to the Parkrose Hardware store from Gresham to pick from their unique greeting cards selection..I needed the laughter that I was feeling while reading the messages in the cards.This store does appear to have stocks of Hardware items also besides the greeting cards.Thank you!
Lisa was a huge help and so were all the other employees at Parkrose Hardware. I’d had a really frustrating day, visited 2 other hardware stores, and finally called Parkrose. Lisa helped me out on the phone and got everything sorted for me in the store. Amber at the cash register was very friendly as well. I will make this my go to hardware store in the future. Great selection and helpful employees!
Great store didnt have 10:32 socket head cap screws that was a bummer but they have everything else
Good employees, I couldnt find what I was looking for but they really tried to help me
Perhaps I just got unlucky and picked a bad time to go to Parkrose. It was my first time and a recommendation that brought me 7 miles one way to order new window screens. On the phone I was told the person who works on screens was on vacation for the next 7 days and he has orders pending but I should come by and order them to get in the queue. The person on the phone was great. Then I got to the store and was told the employee was on vacation for the next 2 weeks. That’s a big difference! I wouldn’t have driven there if I had known. Walking around the store I came across 3 employees, two never made eye contact, said hello or anything to acknowledge my existence. Like I said it might have been just an unlucky experience. I might try the Vancouver location.
Went in to buy a yeti cup, easy to find, clean and the employees were very nice. Love coming here.
Very nice store everybody that works are very kind and generous and very helpful with the knowledge they take by working for the store girl serious
Nice hardware store. Stuff the big boxes dont carry.
Parkrose Hardware is a FANTASTIC store.Nice and helpful staff.They will have hardware that I cant find anywhere else.And they have lots of neat stuff you never knew you needed.I LOVE going to this store.
Very good staff and nice selection
I needed help finding some paint and some rollers, and they were glad to help me and I needed some screws in another department and he helped me and then the check out lady was pleasant and friendly and if you sign up you get $5 off the 1st time you go in the store!
Awesome selection, good prices and kind, helpful service make this store a joy to visit for ANY reason - especially for us hardware geeks...
Parkrose Hardware has very personable people, typical of Portlanders in gen. Having the Specialty departments and experts in the basic areas one always finds in hardware stores, work clothing and Plants! Yes, a small but impressive nursery. Found a Kennikennick shrub of all things. Youll have fun there.
Wanted to give a huge kudos to Claire as she was not only super nice but helpful with a warranty claim on my BGE. Went out of her way to follow up with me and keep me updated on when the part would be available and replaced. Anyone who is looking for great service and reliable support on your Big Green Egg don’t hesitate to reach out to this store! Thank you Claire and Parkrose Hardware. You will continue to have all my future business 👌🏼
Nice place. It is smaller than Home Depot but they have most things you might need and things that the big box stores dont have! It is nice to run in and run out and not have to deal with a large store. They are a little pricier but it is worth it for the convenience.
I come here for the epic staff, whose excellence, engagement, and neighborly sass are a respite from the box store norm. Also the selection of parts and hardware is one of the best in the Portland area. The prices are not the most competitive; but for NE PDX, the convenience, selection and knowledgeability of crew; its well worth it.
Very helpful and friendly associates. Also you dont have to seek out an associate. They are in abundance and knowledgeable.
Parkrose is my go-to place for nuts, bolts, and hardware. Everything from concrete anchors to metric allens in chrome.I think the prices here are competitive to the big box stores, but the added level of customer service mattress it worth while.
Great store, usually has what you need. But I feel that they definitely should extend a fellow Parkrose Merchant some form of discount. I do and I have been a Parkrose merchant for over 40+years. They still will get my business.
Helpful staff. Way more hardware options than home depot and only a tiny bit more per bolt. But they actually have the right bolt size :) Will definitely be back for my next project.
Worst place in Oregon when you buy a defect chainsaw from stihl .
Great selection. I prefer shopping here over the big box stores.
Terrible customer service. I had to walk around the whole store to find help and that person couldn’t even answer a simple question. I expect more from a local business. I’m going to start supporting Beaumont Hardware where employees know how to care for their customers.
Really knowledgeable staff, stocks items not always found in big box stores, great rental and service department. Highly recommend!
Wanted to leave no stars. Saw their employees be extremely rude to a person that didn’t want to wear a mask. Stop using Covid as an excuse to give poor customer service! Actually heard one of the employees say that “inside Parkrose Hardware there is no Constitution”. How dare you! Some businesses have definitely forgotten that they should be grateful for every penny spent in their establishment.
This is an awesome local alternative to home depot it lowes. They have everything Ive needed so far and at competitive pricing.
Wow!! That is what I call stellar customer service!!Will in the STIHL department was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful-Helped me find exactly what I was looking for in a jiffy!!ThankYou Will!
Not bike friendly at all. No good place to lock up a bike and they refuse to let me in with my bike.
Always my favorite hardware store, they have changed staff and products lately that make it hard to love. Still, Ill go back and try again...
I love the store! Its a guy paradise. The people know everything, and they have everything. You cant go wrong!
Went in to purchased a easy start chainsaw. Purchased a Stihl MS 180 16in. They showed how to start and stop it. Went through the operation chain tensioner, fluids. I will be back for more equipment.
I walked in and i swear within 5 seconds our new friend Claire was asking if we needed help which we did. I was aimin for an semi-obscure bit of hardware for a beloved chair. Found it in short order with Claire and Matts help. Thank you for making this hardware store MY hardware store.
This place is great! Anything you could need, theyll have it. Helpful staff always willing to point you in the right direction
All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Love this store.
Great selection and a knowledgeable staff. Many specialty parts that are very hard to find locally.
Very nice pees thereLots of goodies and yard art.Yard art woo hoo
The most adorable hardware store and in a part of town that is sorely lacking one. I will absolutely be shopping here again. Staff was friendly and helpful (if a bit sparse). They have plants, single item bolts/screws/washers etc, all the tools you could need, and a small clothing selection. On the whole, a much better place to spend my money than Home Depot or Lowes.
I can always find most anything i need there and the staff are always helpful
Parkrose Hardware is the Gold Standard for local hardware stores! Friendly people, I asked for what I needed, got the assistance I was looking for, great prices, exceptional products, and easy check out!
Stopped in to the store to purchase some RV accessories, both front and store cashier staff were very helpful, floor clerk Tisha was helpful to show us the location and help us find the parts we needed, cashier provided the vet discount, great store
Great place to shop, friendly knowledgeable staff and a pretty organized store with lots of hard to find items
I dont recommend buying anything other than fasteners and only because of the vast selection. The staff are rarely helpful at best and their managers are unplesant at best.
Great Hardware Store.This is the hardware store that YOU want in YOUR neighborhood.
The go to all inclusive hardware store in Portland, I could get lost for hours inside. Friendly staff and competetive pricing along with huge selection.
Everyone except the guy who cut my glass was rude. The lady didnt even punch in the scew for my glass. I understand its shifty area n a lot of people are trying to steal but know how to differentiate the two guys. SMH.
1st visitHad what I needed and decently priced
The selection at these stores is outstanding. They carry the good stuff here; definitely not to be confused with the cheap tool places. If youre into high quality gear, you havent checked anywhere if you havent checked here.
I called about chainsaws (Stihl Farm Boss) and thought I was told there were 6 in stock. On arrival there were none on the shelf and none in backstock and that they have to be built before sale. I asked questions of a young lady (short with black hair). She was the least helpful person I have encountered at Parkrose Hardward in the 25+ years I have shopped there. After providing a snide description informing me about how we had a storm and lots of chainsaws sold I walked away. I didnt appreciate her tone. Perhaps I annoyed her by asking questions as a customer.. She would not be an asset in my retail establishment. So you have lost a sale and my business. - A once faithful customer.
Always have what Im looking for and more!
Parkrose is always willing to go above and beyond for their customers. I have always had a great experience at Parkrose. They are our go to place for our hardware needs. Their screening department are awesome. I took a patio screen door into them and they were honest and told me they could look at the door and see if they could fix it. We ended up not having it fixed due to cost. They offered to dispose of the old screen door for us. Thank you for such awesome customer service.
Very clean and tidy. Very organized. They have pretty much everything you need for gardening and home improvement. The staff approached me to ask if I was finding everything ok. Thats huge in customer service, acknowledging the customer. I love a local neighborhood hardware store. Makes you feel connected to a community.
I had previously reviewed this hardware store because they had been so kind in the past. Today was a completely different experience and one that will force me to shop elsewhere in the future. I made an order over the phone for a pick-up purchase today, 4/5/20. I clearly stated, on three occasions the type of plant that I wanted, an orange Icelandic Poppy. I was assured over the phone that that is what they had and what I would be picking up. I told them the color over and over. When I picked up the item, I was given the wrong color. I hurried in, trying to stay 6 feet from shoppers and was told they would not refund me for these items, which I did not order, unless I was willing to go through check out. I spoke with 3 different staff members, though did not go through check-out. They refused to refund these items unless I was willing to be unsafe. I expressly made this order under the condition it was an order pick up and I would not have to be within 6 feet of someone. This is impossible in their check-out. It is laid out in a way that forces you to be within that distance from staff and other shoppers. I offered to give them my credit card, though explained I was not willing to go through check-out. They refused.
Love the bolt selection. Had every bolt, nut, and washer on my list. Ill drive all the way across town just because I know theyll have it.
I cant stop buying things here. Its a problem.
Super cute hardware store. It has everything and more.
Classic old school hardware store. Lots of bulk fasteners, a little bit of everything you might need. More professional grade tools and supplies than your average neighborhood hardware store. Love it!
As helpful as always. If I have questions, they have the right answers, even if the answer is no. If they dont have the right tool/product, they dont try to upsell. They just apologize for not being able to get me what I need.
How was great and found everything I needed
Best fastener selection in all of oregon. Stainless, brass, bronze and everything in-between. I love this place. I havent been to home cheapo since finding parkrose.
Nice store however its hard to find just what your looking for. I found both of the items I was looking for.....
Very nice store and have whatever you need!
Dont trust their coupons. They have restrictions that you only learn about at check out. Just shop elsewhere.
I always have the best hardware store experience at parkrose hardware both this location and the one in east Vancouver. Besides the standard stuff, they stock a wide range of unusual parts that arent found at most hardware stores, especially Home Depot and Lowes.
Great store. They have a lot of items you cant find elsewhere.
Update: Due to going to the Bathroom to relieve bowel distress. And then cautious about being treated in a grotesques way upon exiting the restroom while holding my car title in one game & $202 dollars in the other. While mentally going I get a checklist of items that are needed to repair my car.I was informed today at another store that I was banned from shopping at Parkrose Plaza. After being flipped off by Adam in Front of Deanz Greenz located blocks away.I went in to buy the tools to help fix Wolfsburg. In which case diarrhea caught my attention. Turns out being a African American customer, trying to protect their funds & vehicle title from theft. Will get you 86ed. In which case you get cursed at, told to scurry away like a bug. Because police are coming.So to this fake Home Depot. You like how the police took my report. Then bounced out. Maybe quit bsing paying customers who have a bowel event. Before shopping..America!!
Even in spite of the masks and social distancing, theyre all very nice and friendly.
I do missed the free coffee and popcorn. But with C-19 I do understand. 😒😷🥸
Always have the nuts, bolts,taps and drill bits. Thanks Linn!
Wonderful people.
Great Small Business to shop at. Staff are also great!
Great! I love that place, like I used to love a toy store when I was a kid. Lol. They got everything I want and the people working their are friendly and efficient. Prices are middle of the road for what Ive shopped for.
Have what I needed at a good price
Best hardware store in the city and independent! Superior inventory of hardware products and other items you want and need. Check it out!!
Excellent pandemic response! Im grateful for the employee at the front who helped me immediately and I was in and out without any issues. I felt safe, and enjoyed my experience.
Great friendly service every time!
Very friendly. Good selection.
I experiance quite a hostel employee in this store due to myself drinking coffee in the store. As this was not posted i assumed it would be okay. Having my mask easily accessible to put on when around other customers and as soon as I finish, I took those precautions seriously. However, I did not come into the store to be belittled by employee for drinking coffee. I was told in a threating matter to stop drinking my coffee and wear a mask as he uninvitedly, stood by me as i finished the rest of my drink. This was not what i came into store for. I feel Customer relations in this store needs help. -unsatisfied customer.
Have more stock and great staff
This store has everything, Quit going to Lowes and Home Depot, this place is really Customer friendly and I very competitive in prices
In and out no problem. Very helpful employed
I took my neighbor to buy wood stove pellets yesterday. He is a 20 year veteran. No veteran s discount was given. He paid 249.99 a ton. He bought 2 tons. When he called the store the manager told him that he was to busy to talk to him and hung up. When he called back a second time the manager told him that he was to busy helping customers and hung up on him again. I guess that when my neighbor spends 500.00 at their store in one day hes not a customer. I have shopped there for years and I will be going elsewhere to shop in the future.
Great place and great staff
Always my fave place to buy all my plant needs. And the team at park rose hardware are so nice and helpful 💚
Staff is always helpful with finding what you need and this parkrose location has a pretty good sized hardware department.
Best Hardware store in the Portland area! Hands down! If youre looking for a bolt this is the place to find it! 5 ⭐ !
This place has gone down hill! The prices have sky Rocketed, and the customer service is absolutely atrocious!! This used to be one of my favorite hardware stores I would bring in my dog the employees were nice and the prices were fair. Now the employees are rude, roll their eyes, dont care, and The prices have literally tripled since last time I went there. I wouldnt mind paying triple the price if I didnt get treated like garbage !but since they want to treat people like garbage I think Ill just stop going there and I dont recommend anybody else go there either to pay triple what you can buy somewhere else for way cheaper!!!!
They always have what i need.
I was looking for several things and people at Parkrose Hardware directing me exactly where I needed to go I spent the least time in their possible and checked out quickly everybody was kind and friendly
An employee came up to me and started harassing me about my backpack. I had been in the store for over 15 minutes at that point in time and had come across plenty of employees, and no one had cared about my backpack before. I had also never seen a sign that said customers were expected to give up their large bags. Well, this person just decided he wanted to attempt confiscate my backpack. No friendly greeting, no offer to help me find what I needed, just an immediate attempt to take my backpack. I had to explain I carry life-saving medications in it and I would let someone else search it after I was done with my shopping, but not before. I believe this employee had a problem with my all black clothing and purple hair.The only reason I am giving two stars is for the reasonably priced items I purchased.In response to the reply below:Perhaps you should consider posing this policy somewhere in the front of your store that is easily noticeable. There was also an employee grilling meat out front and nothing was said. Or any of the employees at the cash registers at the front of the store could have said something.
