My husband and I are of Hispanic ethnicity,and granted were a bit dusty as we just got done recycling some scrap metal, we didn't think we'd be followed around by what seemed like every working employee in the store. Nor did we appreciate being asked several times if we needed help/if there was something we were looking for as we answered clearly and politely no that we were just looking around.(it's a small small store you could hear the answer no matter where you are standing.) We honestly werw just killing time as we were waiting on our pizza that we just ordered. Unfortunately we did find a couple of things that we needed for our trailer and jeep. Again we had just cashed out from recycling so we had plenty of money. I refused to purchase anything from that ,what seems to me as a racist stereotyping retailer. There were plenty of customers in the store but none being treated the way we were, and I am disgusted with these people. It's so sad that now in 2023 that people are still experiencing situations such as this . Shame on you ace hardware I'll never come to this place again and I highly DON'T recommend this place

So I enter the store I showed a picture of the item they carried to the cashier. She had long black hair. Oh that would be in aisle 8. I said it was electrical lightening. Well I went down to that aisle well it wasn't there only spray paint. I then followed my instinct went to the electrical aisle and there is was. As I was checking out. Hey can you help cover for me they called me over an hour ago and you know I was busy. I don't remember why they called me. Said the other employee. The cashier then said I don't know what they wanted I had my earphones in. As I walk at the door the young man said to the lady with the poney tail where have you been I have been calling you for help over an hour ago. I get it people go to work for a paycheck. But how does this show team work or how does this help out the consumer. I do love Ace hardware. But you have to do better than this.

The south mountain ace hardware is amazing I remember I had to rebuild a lamp n I wanted the antique lamp to look as close as it can to how it originally looked it need a brown wire to plug into the wall a new switch and a new house for I can put in a new bulb as well as the plug to put in to the wall well I started to think I got a lil ahead of my self knowing I never done anything like this before but the employees where so amazing from the front of the store all the way to the back of the store I was frustrated trying to do it by myself so asked for help n was out the store back at home fixing and finishing the project within 30 min and will never forget the help they gave me almost a year ago

  • Kyle Peterson

I first got there and they already had a lock on the truck i rented which meant I needed to go back so they can saw it off; Then I call around 6 pm to make sure how to drop off the truck and the phone either disconnected or she hung up. So, when I get there while it’s closed with little instruction, I ask the workers leaving and they were super rude and condescending even getting mad that the call hung up and blamed it on me for not knowing what to do. I assumed she hung up so I didn’t bother calling back. The guy was also like “park it where she told you” yes, that would’ve helped if I got full information, overall a bad and stressful experience and dissatisfied.

  • Jodye Brown

I came in earlier and Isabel helped me she was very professional , kind and courteous. It was an absolute pleasure to be assisted by her Part two I came back an hour later because I lost the initial product I got from her and I was assisted by Andres he was also polite and courteous. I didn’t remember sizes and type of the product earlier so I asked Andres if I could see if Isabel would remember and he said yes so she came picked out what I got an hour ago and I was completely satisfied with both of the customer service agents. So kudos to Barry’s Ace Hardware for having two great customer service representatives

  • Barbara Broyles

I took my window screens here to be re-screened. Not only did they do a FABULOUS job, the customer service was over the top with their communication. Pricing was also very reasonable. So much so, that I took back more screens. I dealt with Jesse at the store and he was incredible. This store is right in the path of the new light rail so I am sure they are suffering from the construction. Please patronize them and help them through this time. You won't be sorry.

  • esteban martinez

I ordered 100 pk stanley utility blades online they were on sale and received an email saying was ready so I head to store and they try to give me a 3 pk and they have a 100 pk but they said it was more expensive so they don’t even try to fix it they make me drive all the way for nothing time and gas = equal money so they decide that the costumer lose instead of them don’t recommend this store

  • Anthony Hernandez

Iv come here off and on for 15 years but I think I might just go to lowes from here on out. I cant believe there's a charge for for purchases under 3 dollars. It's simply not worth it to me when I need a bolt, screw or switch replacement under 3 dollars. The customer service is to laid back but I prefer professionals working the store and not to be referred to as bro

  • Britney Bell

After being declined return at the other ace hardware on 51st and baseline.I came here and explain to her what happened immediately she helped me and returned the item for me because it was defective. I would definitely recommend this ace if you ever need anything. I’m definitely coming to this one again, great customer service and actually listens to customer

  • Gerard Men2a

Girl at counter Hit me up with racial profiling Thinking I don’t understand English she asked someone else to explain to me why I was not able to use my rewards coupon She seemed tired, not well rested or like not wanted to be in the store dealing with customer at the moment The guys at the store were pretty cool with us but I had to leave the review

  • Guadalupe Gonzalez

  • Eduardo Sanchez

Been coming to this Ace Hardware since I was young. Still come as much as I can. Really helpful and friendly staff, if you can't find something they'll find it for you in 10 seconds. I always see if I can find what I need here before I go to home depot or lowes. Love this place. Come over and support a local business!

  • Kevin Cray

One of my very favorite hardware stores to visit when others are too far away. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Cashiers are always friendly. EVERYTHING is always in order, clean and neat, very easy to keep shopping when you can find everything you want. Thank you for continuously being the neighborhood hardware store!

  • Sonia Babygyrlzluv

Love this place. Staff is always willing to help and are very knowledgeable. They know what we need in as little as supplies as necessary. Even when piping had been Frankensteined together, by previous owners, Ace had better and more reliable replacement fixes. Will always come back.

  • Gilbert “Rene” sanchez

The store is great and so are the workers\helpers. I would give it 5stars but I'm the type to look around and see what a store has; if I don't need help then I'd expect the young fella to go help another instead of following me around the store as if I was going to steal.. not cool..

  • Jesse Zamie

One of the better ace locations always someone willing to help you located all the products you need for do it yourselfer's not a large variety of building materials but it's good for normal everyday occurances around the house needs or small projects that you may be undertaking .

  • Eddie Verdugo

This Ace Hardware store has some of the friendliest most helpful staff. I've been shopping here for over twenty years and it was recently remodeled and expanded. Great place to go if you're in a hurry and want to avoid the large supply stores (Home Depot/Lowe's). I love it here!

  • Ruben Reyes

I wanted want to take the time and thank the employees at Ace for their assistance. Justin and the crew helped me out yesterday around 4pm to fix my daughters window. They made me felt welcomed and helped me build my daughters window. Thank you guys will see you guys again!

  • Ferro Tee

From the Manager to Kahlia the Conquerer, ( inside joke) this is by far one of the most joyous, customer friendly staffs in the Ace Hardware families! Welcomed as you walk in, helpful and knowledgeable of their entire store! This ACE is the PLACE!! …

  • john flavell

Easy to find you can see the sign from the street the store front parking is a little tight if you have a trailer pull though to the back part of parking lot . Staff was helpful it is pretty much like any other ace hardware in theybway of products.

  • Charlie Johnson

Workers are very judgemental about people they think will steal things by constantly following them around the store asking "IF THEY CAN HELP YOU" OVER AND OVER OR ACTING LIKE THEY ARE CLEANING WHEN THERE IS NOTHING TO CLEAN The worst store ever

  • BBQ Bill

Not only did they have the electrical parts that Home Depot didn't have, they gave me personal service finding all of the components needed to get the job done. Decent prices, excellent service, and open on Easter. Recommended hardware supply.

  • Liney Lac

Bought a defected item that ended up not being the correct one for my project and the employee refused a refund. I’ve been going here for 3 years and they treated me like I was a thief. Unfortunately, will no longer come to this location.

  • Angie DeSpain

It’s small inside. I felt Claustrophobic in there. There was a lot crammed into this small space. It was better than driving across town to get locks for the doors. I was sure glad they were located close to the house we were working on.

  • Eric Osterberg

This was my first visit. I was really surprised that I didn't come sooner. They had everything I was looking for and more, with reasonable prices. Saved me the 4-mile drive to the Lowe's store. Better service here and faster too.

  • Total Bottom

The reason I went to Ace Hardware instead of Lowe's was because of the convenience. As soon as I walked in I had 2 young gentlemen helping me find what I was looking for, that doesn't happen at Home Depot or Lowe's.

  • Italian Stud

Ok where do u people get off giving Me an attitude ur uhaul person is a person. With an attitude she gave Me an attitude bad attitude and no respect im on the phone calling me somebody else. Then became respectful

  • Joseph Alteri

Terrible service. I asked the counter associate if anyone could help me. She told me no. I will never come back here again. I encourage you to take your business elsewhere. McFadden dale hardware is much better.

  • Angel Rios

Everyone was very professional, kind, working hard, and made sure I left with the best experience. I am definitely coming back here for all my stihl needs, thank you Barry and your crew made my day …

  • Git Rekt

Always helpful here. Sometimes too helpful, but that's ace for ya. If you don't want someone asking you if you need help to find something, go to lowes/home depot. I do when I'm in an antisocial mood lol.

  • Steve Koz

I go to Ace when I need help because the big stores have no help or input to offer. Everyone that I've rldealt with at ace has been extremely helpful and goes the extra mile to help their customers.
