Ace Hardware

Expensive! Plan on paying 30−60% more than HD or lowes. Staff is very helpful but I just went for basic 1″ brads and they are out! Prices are marked wrong last thing I bought too. I don’t mind paying more to save a trip but when I can’t count on them having basic hardware…

Always a helpful staff ready to answer all the questions I threw at them! Excellent experience thank you!

A great central location for the west Arvada area since the nearest Home Depot is about 15 to 20 minutes away. Its quick and easy to come find something here and the staff is extremely helpful. Ace is a small store so they don’t so they don’t have a large variety in products. However they do have something for just about anything. I can find paint, school supplies, home improvement, gardening, camping, fishing, sports, outside improvement, grilling and kitchen needs and more. Ace can be a bit pricey with the smaller stock, but I love coming here. I even find help with gathering materials for my science experiments for my class. They tend to get more of in season materials so right now gardening and grilling is much more stocked.
Even my daughter likes coming here because they have feee popcorn for her to munch on while we shop.
It is by far a home depot and you wont fins materials here to do a massive project. However, it is a great place to come to get small or few items especially in the area when a trip to the bigger stores would take a long time.

There are some particularly harsh reviews on here that condemn an entire operation over very particular scenarios. I do not find them fare or accurate. This Ace has continued over the last year plus to be convenient, generally knowledgeable and always friendly when me or my wife need something for our ongoing home projects. And my neighbors agree. You won’t find that access to knowledge or as quick an attempt to help at the bigger and further away competitors. All in all I also find most of their pricing in line with the market. Go here when you need something. They are quick and they will help.

Helpful staff for sure. But no dogs? She loves to go with me in my pick up truck and then go in the store and pick things out for me. Especially at Pet smart. In Europe you can take dogs here we are the puritans

Always friendly and helpful staff. My daughter loves it when we come when they serve popcorn.
The main reason I go to this hardware store is mainly due to the fact that they are the closest location to my residence, but it is nice to know that the staff is friendly and helpful when trying to grab some items in a hurried situation (or without having to take too long looking for items that one needs).
One might not find things cheaper here than at the mega-​hardware stores, but a lot of the time I find it comparable.

I have mixed feeling about this hardware store. Sometimes they have what I need, other times they do not. Today they had exactly what I was looking for. However, one item was Ace’s brand. I’m not sure about the quality. I needed 9 volt batteries and I also needed some round (a bit unusual size) compact fluorescent lights for my closet. (This was the Ace brand item). I was greeted almost excessively from three different sales people in about five minutes. I do not generally go here first, because I can usually find the same item sometimes MUCH cheaper at another store. However, I have to use more gas to go to the other stores. All and all, the sales people were helpful and friendly and I did find what I was looking for, so I’m passing them with okay. Still room for improvement with availability (not only Ace brand items) and pricing.

My Dad and I came in today to get a few things. He specifically asked where the discount stain was, that he had seen it a few days earlier, he just couldn’t remember where it was. The older gentleman helping us said «i don’t know, but here’s the regular priced stain on this aisle». So lo and behold, we finally found it without anyone’s help.
It’s great when employees are offering to help, but I would expect them to know what they are talking about, especially if you have specific questions.
No offense, but guys in high school or right out of high school aren’t going to know which paint stain is better than others, just my opinion.
