Payton True Value Hardware

So happy to have a community hardware store still in our town. Patronize your local businesses! These guys are always helpful and the prices are good.

Love having this hardware store here in town, but the lady at the front counter today made it seem like ringing the customers up was just too much trouble. That’s sad because personalized service should be the advantage over mega-​stores. C’mon Payton’s work on it … we want to keep coming back!

Customer service is top notch! Quality and selection are fantastic. Prices are in line with stores of its type. The only issue I have is that I find myself driving the extra distance because I can’t justify buying certain things at the prices they charge.

YES! You DO want to shop here! You can stop reading here but read on if you need more convincing.
Payton’s in a nut shell: Super friendly staff, great selection, clean and orderly store and not only is it close by for us Lakeside locals; it is WAY closer than Home Depot.
An example of how great their service is: EVERY TIME I walk into Payton’s I am greeted with a hearty «hello!» And then I ask where I can find «X» and then they cheerfully show me exactly where «X» can be found. Wam, bam, I’m out the door and on my merry way! Try getting service like that at Home Depot or anywhere else (on Earth).
Last but not least stepping into Payton’s is like stepping right into a small town where everyone knows everyone. You can’t help but feel like a part of the community when you shop here. You’ll know what I mean when you walk though their door.
See y’all along the dusty olé trail!

Still feels like a mom and pop shop very friendly staff always have what I need I choose this place over Lowes and home depot

These folks are AWESOME! I have been many times when I recently moved. I am not tool savvy so I had to ask a million questions. Everybody who helped me out in that wonderful store was helpful, kind and didn’t make me feel stupid. The prices were great and they had a ton of merchandise. Its a charming place (something I would never have even contemplated in the past regarding a hardware store!!). Thank you Payton Hardware– you are fabulous!

Great local business. This place has great customer service. You can find most do it yourself items here. Location is convenient and if you ever feel like we are being over run by big box giants take a trip to this place. The old time popcorn cart is a must for the kids.

Pretty good small local hardware store. Lots of selction of tools and hardware. Your not going to build a house out of there. But if you got a small project going or need something basic then they should have it.

Don’t want to deal with the MEGA chain stores, then this is a great place to go. They have a little bit of everything you need or are looking for. The staff is VERY friendly and VERY helpful. The prices are extremely fair.

Need something handy-​man-​ish?
Need it right now?
Don’t want to be talking to anyone in an orange apron?
Then Payton’s is the place for you.
A surprisingly good selection for such a small store, with excellent customer service. You won’t be buying appliances here, nor enough lumber to build a 13 bedroom log cabin, nor enough tile to pave your whole neighborhood, but hey, it’s a local hardware store, just like the olden days.

This place is great… I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid with my dad, and it’s still my go-​to place for most projects.
What always surprises me is how their relatively small store seems to have almost everything. It’s like a magic hardware store! No joke… try it, you’ll be impressed.
I feel like the folks here are more helpful and knowledgeable than the average employee at most of the big box home improvement stores as well, and most of them have worked there forever.
They have all the usual home repair stuff you might expect of a local hardware store, and also (some) lumber, power tools, paint, concrete, a small selection of power tools, keys made, welding supplies, stuff for electronics projects (not just home electrical, but little switches, heat shrink, etc…), the list goes on and on.

Great hardware store, have a decent selection and super helpful staff.
Small town feel, and have all the basic hardware you may need, and if they didn’t they would sure order it for you.
I’ll definitly check Paytons before going to Wal-​Mart, Lowes or Home Depo.

A great small town hardware store — rebuilt after a fire took out the original building many years ago. If they don’t have it, ask, and they will try and order it for you, or suggest where you may find what you are looking for. Prices are reasonable, and a nice store to browse through.

Its nice to support small business. Paytons has been around for as long as i can remember, prices are fair and its way closer than a big corporate store.
They have a large selection for plumbing, gardening, paint then abundance of hand tools. They don’t sell wood or power tools to my knowledge but I could be wrong.
O and they make keys cheap!
and once in a while they have a guy who sharpens knives to razor status out front.

Small town American Hardware Store!
Went in for a washer for an old faucet, spent over $ 100 in other hard to finds that turned up there. The staff was very friendly and somewhat helpfull, they knew their products, but were unable to recommend alternates for the stuff they didn’t have, thus the missing stare in my review. I looking for a poweder based glue called resourcinol (sp), used to buy it at San Diego hardware, but they went foo-​fu on me. I’ll definitly be back more often Paytons!
