In Short – Since 1906, this Polk Street establishment has set the standard in the city for honest, reliable customer service and high-quality tools. Hardware, paint and all manner of appliances, kitchenware, and home improvement and repair accessories neatly line the aisles. Loyal patrons are more than willing to pay modern-day prices for old-fashioned advice, and the patient, good-natured staff members here oblige with detailed assistance and instruction. Can't find a specific widget or don't know how to use it? Just ask.

I love this place. Best hardware store I have ever come across. The staff are always always willing to take time to show me how to do something, what exactly I need and don't need for a project.
- Pros: Help, convenience, knowledable staff
- Cons: a bit more costly
