Sneades Ace Home Center

Normally everyone is very friendly. Today not so much. I needed thin wall pvc in 3 inch for a drainage line. The sign by the pvc pipes in the store said «thin wall pvc available in yard. Ask at checkout». As I was checking out my items, I «asked at checkout».
Me: «Do you have thin wall pvc»
Checkout young lady: «I have no idea»
Me: «It said to ask at checkout»
Checkout young lady «WHO TOLD YOU THAT»
Me: «The sign back there said to ask at checkout»
Checkout young lady: «Lumber handles that. I have no idea»
Me: (after getting carried by a 17 year old) Maybe I read the sign wrong. Let me go back to ask someone in lumber“
I asked a guy at the lumber counter. He courteously told me they were out of 3 inch pvc.
Instead of the young checkout lady saying «Lumber can help you with that sir». I get attitude. WTF? It’s not like she didn’t know what I was talking about. She clearly did because she told me to that lumber handles that. There was no one in front of me… Well I did interrupt her talking to a young man, and no one behind me so she wasn’t rushing. Sometimes people get snappy when under pressure. There was none.
I go to Sneades all the time. 99 times I’ve had great personable service. 1 time out of 100 is still 99%. That’s why they still get a 3 star rating.
Oh. BTW. I went back and looked at the sign again. It said «Ask at checkout».

Needed some paper blinds for my new house and they had what I needed! Great happy staff who made this a good quick shopping trip!
Would Definitely recommend this store to anyone needing something small or big for your home!

I’ve been repainting my entire house. I’ve purchased all my paint from snead thus far. My entire 1^st floor has been repainted. In general the paint price is a few dollars more but it’s not significant enough to drive to HD/​Lowes. I found some great values buying their mistinted paint (which is really paint that is correctly mixed but rejected by the customer). 9.00 a can!!! for valspar Optimus.

I own a vacation rental property in the area, which needs a lot of attention. So I come here a lot. I almost always find what I need. And it keeps me out of Home Depot. Sometimes I have trouble tracking down an employee, but when I do, they are very helpful. The cashier staff is not all that friendly or helpful, though.

They may be pricey, but the customer service is great. Pretty good selection.

Outstanding hardware store.
Pro’s:
— Unbelievably friendly/​helpful staff
— Store is immaculate
— Someone is always available to help
— Very knowledgable staff
— Selection is pretty good for a small town hardware store
Con’s:
— Pricey. They obviously cannot compete with the Lowe’s and Home Depot’s of the world. Customer service is where they are trying to set themselves apart. Just know you will pay considerably more at this location.
Summary:
A pleasant experience every time I have gone in there. Sure, it is more expensive… but worth it when you simply don’t want to make the long trip to home depot.

GREAT SERVICE. Price is higher that other large home improvement stores, but they can as they are the only «gig» in town.

This place has everything. We spend some time during the summers near this location and if I need anythign this is the place to get it. Very friendly people and a huge selection.

Suprisingly good hardware store basically in the middle of nowhere. Doesn’t have the selection of a home depot (which is about 10x the size) but does have nearly everything you ‘need’ for a DIY project or more. (It is worth noting that this general area is populated with an abnormally high number of contractors). Have found better lumber here than say HD (where 1 in 2 is crooked or warped), but as always, pick your own instead of letting some kid do it. Delivery service is also nice. Only negative is sometimes the only option is to buy the ‘Ace Hardware’ brand of something (plug, cord, nail, etc) when you are looking for another brand. But hey, that’s to be expected I guess.

Good place, quality wood if you watch the kids picking it… great selection of standard true value inventory…

Handyman’s Paradise. Clean, professional, well-​stocked and friendly, you can find just about anything you could want in a home center.
I can’t say enough about how helpful and kind the staff is to customers both new to home improvement to old-​hands looking for a quick fix.
My wife and I have come here many times looking for items as small as a brass screw, and as large as topsoil and stands for planting tomato plants… the service has always been exemplary and the items we needed were in stock and plentiful. I’ve never had to use the catalog, but for more esoteric items, you can order things to arrive within the week.
The prices on propane and lumber are especially competitive.
Some of my recent purchases include:
6 foot hickory walking stick, sanded and smoothed.
Bird and Squirrel feed… and feeders for the yard.
Sprinkler heads and fertilizer for the garden.
rechargeable batteries (we have a lot of tech to keep up)
wax seal kit for replacement toilet
If you’re lucky, there’ll be a local fund raiser going on and you can pick up a bag of kettle corn or girl scout cookies out front, too! (If not, there’s always a cold soda-​pop and a fruit pie inside.)
