Ace Hardware 290 Crossroads Boulevard, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923

"They usually have what I'm looking for and everyone in the store is so helpful. Special shout out to Heidi, who recently took the time to help me match a years-old sample of basic "white" paint with the same "white" -- and they actually had a fresh quart of it on the shelf! This is what a good general hardware store is all about: expert help and well-stocked shelves tailored to the local market."

"Helpful staff who go the extra mile. I needed a washer for a chainsaw, I called and described the problem and part. On the phone the staff looked up the part, which was out of stock. I went in anyways to make sure that i was ordering the correct part. The staff member, Micheal, decided to double check the inventory despite the computer showing the part was not on hand. He found it, $3.22 later my saw was running again. Dean hooked me up with the plumbing parts I needed, took only a few minutes at Ace’s organized shelves compared to multiple trips to homedepot searching through disorganized shelving chaos and zero help from personnel."

"The staff at this store are very helpful and customer-focused. Yesterday, Wes went above and beyond to assist my friend with getting a mobile car battery jumper and made sure she was able to get the proper extension cord to recharge the unit."

"So happy we have an Ace Hardware in our neighborhood. My first choice for hardware, tools and materials for various DIY projects. Last time I picked up sand paper and drop cloth. Many options and people were very helpful."

"Being from out-of-town, I needed some tools to handle some minor RV repairs while traveling during the New Years break. The staff (young guy working in the isle and the very polite lady operating the register) were extremely polite and helpful... Keep up the good work!"
