Hart Ace Hardware

I sort of have mad love for my local Ace Hardware store. The kids love it because they have cool dime store things like gumballs, free popcorn and bags of colored rocks as well as a fair number of candies around to distract them while I run around with paint cards quizzing the whole store about color choices. «Does this color say super secure power professor who doesn’t need anyone’s guff? WAIT don’t answer that!!»
They have great services like filing your paint colors so you can know a brand and finish that goes in your room, they also sharpen knives, fix windows and screen doors and are generally very helpful with projects I’ve done refinishing household items and doing minor repairs.
They have a very impressive furniture and grill area outside but the plants get snagged up quickly. Sales staff are exceedingly helpful and kind and once you sign up fo their NSA based tracking software, you get coupons each month in the mail.
I love that they keep the place SO much cleaner than a box store, have a range of colors in paints without being overwhelming and never make you feel like you are imposing. I’m still making enough money that I will continue to pay the increase of 15% over Home Depot for some customer service TLC and cheering from the staff peanut gallery that yes, I did pick the right color that makes me a power player :-)

Gave this place 5 stars as it’s nice to have a convenient place in Bellevue. Service is usually very good and quick to help. Though prices are a little high which should really cost them a star. They usually have what I need but beware, high prices may become a challenge as other stores nearby offer more options for less.
Wife likes the house goods like picture frames and nick-​nacs. I go here for gas grill LP tank refill.
