Woodside Ace Hardware

Very customer friendly, prices are average, they load heavy things in care for you, quicker and nicer than large chains. They have a decent stock for being a small local store! Not sure, but I believe that they will order things not stocked if you ask them to. Much better than trying to find the brainless home depot staff to locate something for you, that is if they even know of what widget you speak!

With the dominance of Home Depot and Lowes I’ve noticed the disappearance of customer service staff at these big box type of stores. Most of the time that I need something at a hardware store, what I really am looking for is advice on what I should buy or how I can fix something in my house.
Woodside Ace Hardware is a refreshing alternative to the big box stores because they have most everything that I need in a hardware store at the same prices that I could get anywhere else. But it is the helpful and available staff that keep me coming back.
The staff at Woodside is always immediately helpful the second I walk in the door. They will research the answer to a question they don’t know. They will order anything that I could possibly want and have it delivered quickly.
They often have sales at this store that make some items even cheaper than the big box stores.
This is a great store that makes you feel good about supporting a locally-​owned business.

First of all, the staff is completely ready to help. They are responsive, eager and friendly which makes shopping at Ace enjoyable. I needed license plate screws for a car which I didn’t know had very small holes. The gentleman helping me found the appropriate size, after walking back and fourth to my car about 4 times and even installed all 4 screws! I will definitely be back, because I love exceptional customer service!

Woodside Ace Hardware, located seaside in beautiful Winthrop, MA, is as good a hardware store as you can find. They have an amazing array of items, extreemely well organized and extreemely well stocked. They can custom mix paint to match a swatch you bring in, custom order just the right cover for your BBQ grill, they load things into your car, make keys, everything right there without you having to cover acres and acres of space in a cold, big box store. Plus, they are heavily involved in the local community, so EXTRA points awarded here. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I really like this store. They have provided me with a ladder at a much price than the big box hardware store offered (with similar specs) and I just got a snow shovel from them when everybody else was sold out. I really appreciate that the staff is there to help and I don’t have to wander cavernous aisles looking for help.

best place to go when you need to figure out how to fix something. staff is really nice and really helpful. has good selection too and delivers.

Helpful staff, but not bothersome. I feel free to browse around aimlessly if I choose. Better product selection than most Ace Hardware stores I’ve been to.
