This the guy working with me who found every piece I needed was super helpful. I had a really weird problem with some lost pieces from a light, and they found the perfect pieces. He even helped me make a poor mans box fan air purifier for fir season coming up. Give that guy a raise! Both people working were really nice.Thanks again guys πŸ‘

Great local hardware store. Steve was very helpful. I also noticed that the prices are better than other places or at least competitive. It makes me super happy to get a reasonable price on something without having to ship my money out of the local community. Here is a photo of my window project, I was able to get new pulleys and sash cord just blocks from my house to make my windows open and close again.

Employees are exceptionally rude here. There is no hometown hardware store feel to the place. Their low prices is the only reason I stopped in, but the guy at the register tried to make me feel stupid when I tried to buy a lawn tarp. Theres better options out there guys!

Mom and Pop atmosphere. Great selections. Their inventory is amazing for such a small place.

Sold a broken $100 fan and was told to work with manufacturer two days after purchase. Rude employees with zero customer service. Sadly shopping local is a disappointment. Avoid those Ace and use one of the many others that actually care about their customers.

My neighborhood hardware store. Intimate, on the small side, but well stocked. Staff greet you and are well informed.

Tweedy and Pop have an extremely informed and attentive staff. They consistently are willing to spend the extra time finding the needed materials for a job and problem solving with me. I rely on their expertise, and have never been disappointed. I cannot say enough good things about them!

I hit this store and the one on roosevelt, with some frequency. I gotta say, the experience is always top notch. Employees who know where the particulars are, and have some knowledge on the products in the store. So thanks for the consistency and the good experience. Beats the hell out of lowes and home depot. Ace is clearly a company that understands the importance of hiring quality staff. Hopefully the staff is treated decently within the company. Cheers.

Problem with all the Ace hardware stores is that you by something in one store and you cant find the same thing in a different Ace store. and especially you cant return most of the stuff in a store that you didnt buy it at.Other than that, irrigation stuff I tend to find better things here than the at the home depot or Lowes.

Like a hardware store should be - relatively small and packed full of stuff you need. Associates were friendly but not obsequious. I had a list. They knew the exact location of every item (so ask!).

The neighborhood hardware store staffed by people that know every item in the store and want to help you. Places like this need to thrive. Why drive across town for wanting other than big building materials when you have those place closer to home?

Review β„–20

This store has been amazingly helpful during the pandemic shutdowns. The Ace that is closer to me has refused to answer their phones for many weeks now with some bogus excuse about employee safety. Actually its safer to answer the phone then to have more customers having longer extended conversations in the store! This place is doing it right and going out of their way to be helpful and well have things at the counter to minimize interaction if I call ahead. I cant say enough good things and this will be my default neighborhood store from now on the other store has lost me

My jobsite was close to this place and if I needed 1 or 2 something real quick, they never let me down.And I would always come in looking for something very specific like giant metal washers, or a female hose to male IPS adapter or an obscure size Makita circular-saw blade, and they would always gladly help me find exactly what I needed.Great staff, great selection, convenient location, if they dont have it, you probably dont really need it!

Tweedy and Pop is probably the most iconic hardware store in the Seattle area next to Hardwicks ...If theres something you need for your home and there is a Tweety and Pops in your neighborhood they will have what you want. If you come from 20 miles away they may not have it but odds are they probably will.

Review β„–37

Add up the price of your products before you get to the check stand, I bought $8.00 worth of Items, when it was time to pay the total was over $12.00, I asked to review the charges. Four Bolts I bought were $1.00 a piece (1 inch #8 wood screws) instead of the $.08 they were supposed to be, honest mistake no big deal. While he is giving me change (I did not buy the wood screws) here comes the Manager (I guess) yelling that I am trying to confuse the cashier, pretty weird guy, I will never be back.

Review β„–38

I ordered something online and it wasnt the right item. I was going to return it online, but the website said to return things at a retail location. I went to this store and what appeared to be the manager refused because it was a whole different process, it was 15 minutes from closing time and he was on the phone. Quality service, Ace Hardware, quality service.

Review β„–40

Just an awful place! Went in to get a few things I needed to finish setting up my new home. I received a coupon in the mail welcoming me to the neighborhood. After bringing all my things to the counter, the cashier/manager (grey haired guy) REFUSED to accept my coupon. I was upset and crumpled the coupon. I said fine I will just pay full price. This is when his true and ugly colors came threw. He huffed and puffed and said You Know What...I wont sell you anything. I said to hell with you! Then he just kept going after me and actually followed me down the sidewalk filming me with his phone. Just bizarre. Avoid these weirdos and go to Ace in Maple Leaf or a completely different store. No wonder they call the place Tweedy and Pop truly something out of another world, bunch of der- de - durs ...

Review β„–42

The review implying racism by the store employee is absolutely unfair and false. The young man asking about the screwdriver was looking for a precision screwdriver to replace a battery in an electronic device. The only reason he was asked if he was going to buy the screwdriver is because we keep such screwdrivers behind the counter for in-store use (we dont like customers or employees using tools off the shelf). When he said he did need to buy the screwdriver we then proceeded to help him get his device apart and then find the correct battery he needed. He replaced the battery, reassembled the device, paid for the battery and screwdriver and thanked us for the great assistance. The only prejudice going on here was by the reviewer who was determined to see a problem where there was none. A sad commentary on a society where everyone must be a victim.

Review β„–44

Not pleased with the service I got I dont normally go to Ace hardware but finding out there is one 5 min from one of the properties I work at I decided to give it a shot good selection had what I needed but I ended up grabbing the wrong bolts so I drove back to grab the right ones with my receipt. Come to find out they do not take returns for bolts. I may have missed a sign no one mentioned anything to me at checkout. I explained to the younger blonde lady that I was sorry and could you do it this one time.(next time I would for sure know thats there policy). She explained its always everyones 1st time and that its more cost effective to not return them because the labor it takes to put them back. But what doesnt make sense about that is they have to put the bolts back that I just brought up to the register. You lost a first time customer today I salute you blond lady, way to stick it to the customer. I will stick with a little longer drive to home Depot because they understand customer care.

Easier stopping by here, rather than Lowes or HomeDepot for small items. Quick in & out and they have a lot of stuff packed into that store. Staff is friendly and you can stop by Oreilly Auto or Bargain Foods right next door for your other items.

Review β„–49

My boyfriend and I had went in today looking for a screwdriver. There was also another Black young man who entered when we did. As soon as we walked in, an employee with greying short cut hair (maybe manager) was eyeing us and walked over to stand at the end of the aisle while we looked. He didnt ever offer to help us find what we were looking for. We were looking for several minutes. He just watched with his hand on his hip. The other young man was on the other side of the aisle. The employee walked over to him and asked, did you find what you need? To which the young man responded that he thinks so but began asking questions for help. Instead of helping, the employee asked him if hes going to buy the tool that he was holding. The young man said yes in such a tone that said he knew what the employee was implying. It was then that the employee began to actually help.When we finally found what we were looking for, we were hesitant on even buying from that store because of all of the racial profiling that we had observed. There were other non-black customers walking around who were never bothered. We did end up purchasing it and while we were checking out with a different employee, the man who had been profiling kept looking over his shoulder to see what we had WHILE he was supposed to be helping his own customer in front of him.I will not be returning to this store. We were treated with disrespect, as criminals, only judged by our skin tone. We are decently dressed and groomed individuals and so was the other young man. Pure racism.Edit: In response to what the other reviewer/employee said... Perhaps I misjudged what I heard on the other end based on how we were profiled... perhaps, the mans tone implied what it seemed ... but whats most important is what we experienced ourselves. There is no excuse or explanation for why we were treated that way and no one else was paid any mind on top of it.Looks like Im not the only reviewer who has experienced this. Also, calling homeless people bums is offensive. (Your reviews)
