Lakeview Ace Hardware 3921 North Sheridan Road, Chicago, IL 60613

"If you’ve got a project and have only vague ideas of what you’ll need to start, definitely speak to Russ at this location. He was able to help me narrow down what I needed, and also suggest vital pieces I hadn’t thought of like a vise. Thanks to him I got the pieces of my project done that I couldn’t have dreamed I’d be able to do myself back when I started. Prices for what I acquired were all very reasonable, location is easy to get to in the lakeview area, right by the red line, and all the equipment I purchased works great."

"Man who helped me was very rude, and bent the key I asked him to copy. I was unaware one of my keys were not able to be copied and he was very rude when he informed me. As I thanked him for helping me he curtly said goodbye. Go to the Ace on Broadway and Cornelia instead."

"Stopped in to look for a Christmas tree stand to (hopefully) replace perhaps the single biggest cause of holiday anxiety in our home - the wobbly screws in our current stand that barely keep our tree upright each December. I mentioned this to Russ, who immediately introduced me to the Krinner, the gold-standard for Christmas tree stands. I was making my way to purchase it when I got a text from my mom that she had already bought one at another Ace location based on overwhelming recommendations! I didn’t end up needing the stand, but I left the store knowing I would be back soon, and I would be in good hands with Russ and the rest of the staff. After my first visit, big endorsement for the customer service, friendly atmosphere and selection of quality products available. Thanks, Russ!"

"I’m a huge fan of smaller hardware stores such as the Lakeview Ace Hardware for the knowledgeable employees they always seem to hire. Yes the bigger box stores often carry a wider array of items but when you’re looking for something small and random, those places never seem to know if they even carry what you’re looking for and more often than not don’t seem interested in helping me either. Hardware stores like this, I truly appreciate and they’re locally owned franchises so it’s money coming back into the community."

"Phenomenal hardware store with extremely helpful and friendly staff. They have everything you could possibly need for your home fixes and DIY projects: paint, gardening tools/potting soil, lighting, cleaning supplies, auto supplies, power tools, screws/nuts/bolts/hardware, lumber, key copying, air filters, water filters, and so so much more. This store is very well stocked, so be sure to ask someone for what you need, because they most definitely have it!"
