Waldo True Value Hardware

I LOVE this place. Everyone is always so helpful. I’ve never had a bad experience here. Sure, the big-​box stores might be cheaper, but you will not get the same service as you do here. Parking lot is pretty tight and a little hard to get in and out of, but overall, it’s the best around! The store mainly just had small needs. I don’t think they have a large supply of building materials, power tools, or anything like that, but their selection of small needs (e.g., nails, screws, gardening tools, etc.) is adequate.

As soon as I walked through the door I was greeted and offered help. The service was very friendly and I was a little surprised they had what I needed after just coming from a larger hardware store that did not have what I needed. Service was great, prices were in line with what I saw at the larger store. Waldo Hardware will definintly be my go to hardware store when in need.

I’ve been here dozens of times and I’ve always received great service. For all your basic hardware needs, there’s no need to wander around a big box store with little to no customer service (like sotherlands). Come here! You’ll be greeted immediately and helped if you want, and left alone if you want. These guys are awesome.

They really do greet you at the door and take you to aisle you need.
In and out super fast and super friendly people.

I love this place. The people that work here greet you at the door and ask you what you’re working on. They don’t ask if you need help. I like this. I enjoy doing stuff around my house, but I don’t think the rejects at Home Depot are the most reliable source for advice. I do however trust these people.
I’ve been here often enough to not need help finding stuff, but they are super helpful and knowledgeable. This is a neighborhood store. They remember you, and let you know how much they appreciate your business by giving you great service. They allow pets, dogs, birds, whatever. Did I mention that they are super helpful, but don’t hover?
It’s a small, small hardware store, but other than lumber, they have whatever a normal person needs to accomplish a weekend project. Also, they sell Marshalltown tools, which are pretty nice, if you’re going to do any grouting of tile in your home, buy a Marshalltown grout float. I do that stuff for a living…
This place reminds me of the hardware store in the neighborhood I lived in in Brooklyn for a short time, they have everything you need, they just don’t have a wide variety of brands for everything you need. Go here if you need any kind of rope, seeds, wire, tools, paint, a key, some pipe fittings, whatever, they are local and they are a great piece of a great neighborhood.
