First off, I want to say that this hardware store doesnt always have what I need, but when they dont, my heart drops, because it means I will have to go to somewhere else.I go out of my way to come to this particular Ace hardware if I can because of exactly one reason: The manager is the best Ive ever seen in any retail store. Ive seen him be reassuring to concerned employees, incredibly calm and helpful to difficult customers, and just insanely knowledgeable about everything they do and do not have.One time we made the mistake of letting our 5yr old carry a freshly mixed gallon of dark teal paint out, but it did not make it past the inside rugs. She stumbled, and the top popped off sending a dark teal pool filling the entryway. The manager was there in moments, directing employees, cleaning the mess, and most surprisingly, though we admitted it was our fault for overestimating our 5yr olds carrying capacity, he offered without asking to get us a new gallon for free.Im writing this review today because I overheard him reassuring the girl at checkout about the way she had just handled a difficult situation in the store. She is lucky to have such an emotionally intelligent and genuinely caring manager. And WE are lucky to have a store in our neighborhood run by a staff that doesnt make you feel like you are wasting their time.I always feel welcome here. There is no substitute for a well-run hardware store and this is it.

Went in to get a set of hex wrenches. Employees hovering within 10 feet of me the entire time. Staring down the back of my neck. Im a paying customer youve made feel extremely uncomfortable. Bought my tools, used em, returned em. Dont support these rude people. Go to OReillys.

My first visit to this store. Greeted as I walked in and asked if I need help.I was shown a selection of the product I needed and the purpose of each different make depended on the work load. Very reasonable prices.Very helpful and I got what I needed fast. Check out was a breeze too.Highly recommend this place especially if you need help to decide what suits best for your requirement.I didnt get the staffs name but a not too tall guy wearing eye glasses - knowlegable and knew exactly what to recommend. I appreciated it very much.

Great local hardware store that still believes in the simple things like saying Hello. The customer service is top-notch, and always knowledgeable despite the covert project you may be trying to satisfy hardware for. If its a garden nose or a snow shovel and everything in between Westmoreland Ace hardware is the place to be.

I was quickly greeted upon entering and a staff member helped me to find the oddball little 25W light bulb that I needed for my microwave. The checkout clerk was very friendly as well. Its service like this that will bring me back in.

Every time you walk into Westmoreland Ace someone looks up and ask if you need assistance. If you say yes they always provide knowledgeable assistance and if you say no they are happy for you wander and find what you need. When asking for assistance they never make you feel like you don’t belong in a hardware store because you aren’t a construction or lawn care expert.

I tried to purchase a bbq which online said it was in stock. I drove across town so I could support a local business, took 30 min. When i got there I was told they don’t have any bbqs in stock that I wanted and the online stock numbers aren’t accurate. I would have made a big purchase here but now I’m just frustrated so I’ll go to a big box store where I can get it now. Disappointed to say the least.

What an amazing experience in the time of COVID19. I had gone to another ACE store to get a replacement lamp switch. I received NO help at that store....then I went to the Westmoreland ACE. I went into the store and when I told the employee what I needed, I was ushered to the exact spot and given advise as to exactly what I needed. I was kept at a safe distance from other shoppers and could pay in a safe way. Westmoreland ACE is a model store. I will go back and tell everyone I know about my experienceThank You.Susan Anderson

I came in looking for plumbing and other misc projects and Chad and the owner were so very helpful in getting me the supplies I needed. They were both upbeat and happy to help me. I would highly reccomend this store for the cleanliness, organization and the amazing helpful employees.I would reccomend buying any of your hardware needs, bbqs, or summer air conditioning from the helpful friendly staff at Westmoreland Ace Hardware.

Patrick at Westmorland ACE was a stellar associate. I went in for a replacement key for a rare Lexus and he was able to not only create a replacement, he did it in under 15 minutes and saved me lots of money. I will be returning for any hardware needs. Thank you Patrick!

In an age of big box stores this neighborhood store has an incredible selection to choose from. And the staff are extremely knowledgable, friendly, and available. I stopped in just to check it out and and left with an item I never expected to find.

They have what you want but they treat you like a thief . They are constantly following you around and asking what you want or other annoying, invasive questions. They have something there that most places dont have so I have to put up with it but it never ceases to unnerve me.

Always the best customer service. I walked in with a broken deadbolt key (HomeD@*% couldnt copy). They smiled, said sure, and I had a new key in 5 minutes. The reason I went to the other business was because it was closer to the location where the key broke. Thank you Westmoreland Ace Hardware

This is a great little place! Its amazing how much they pack into a small space. I am usually able to find what Im looking for here and its so much better than driving across town to a big box store and wandering around forever looking for stuff. The folks who work at this store almost always greet their customers as they walk in the door, and then help them find things. They are knowledgeable and competent, which is a big time saver and again, a refreshing change from the typical big box store experience, where you have to search for someone if you have a question.

I bought 2 electric heaters there last September and used them seldomly. Last month I began using them and one is defective. It makes a screeching noise and the fan turns very slowly. When I asked for an exchange, I was informed of your 30 day return policy. Cut and dry. No further discussion.I would expect that a $50 heater would last at least a year with continuous use. I’ve had them last several years. You’re a 30 day return policy on an item like this is very poor judgment. One of her customers to buy an item in the beginning of December and given as a gift on Christmas. And what if that item didn’t get used for a few weeks? The warranty is expired before you even get to use it. I would think that you would choose the items to sell in your store that are quality and will last, making it a good value. I would also hope that you would make an effort to retain your customers. I may not be a major customer but I do spend over $1000 a year in your store but that will come to an end unless you decide to do the right thing. The ball is in your court.

This is exactly the model of a neighborhood store. The staff stays pretty constant, so they get to know you if youre a regular, and since I have a fixer-upper I am pretty regular! They are always willing to help with anything you need, or are willing to let you just browse when youre not quite sure exactly what you need and just need to figure it out for yourself. I love this place. Whenever possible, I go here instead of even thinking of going to a big box place, although you cant get everything here.

Love this place. Knowledgeable staff will help you find what you need or will get someone who will help you find what you need, even if you don’t know what that is exactly. It’s amazing how many good products they cram into that space too. Very thorough inventory.

An old- fashioned hardware store with anything you need, modern or just an odd washer or to get a key made. VERY knowledgeable, friendly staff will greet you and help you find stuff. Also larger stuff, like grills and lawnmowers. Save the trip to Freddies and support this long-time neighborhood business.
