Glover Park Hardware

It was a really great hardware store. Workers always helped with anything and were very knowledgable. However, this location has closed.

As a chick who’s a go-​getter but also not sure what I need to go get, this is where I go. One of the store associates is so helpful! He’s fun and patient and helps me find all the random things I need. The store is very well-​organized and if you can’t find something, just ask! Someone is always nearby to help.
It’s definitely something when you can pop in to a hardware store and know you’ll leave prepared for your next DIY.

Love my neighborhood hardware store. Everyone’s always friendly and very very helpful. As soon as you walk in the door, there’s always big smile and a warm hello greeting you.
It’s not the big hardware store of the burbs, but they always seem to have everything I’m looking for. Their knowledgeable staff can point you to the right spot in the store for whatever you’re looking for. If I have a how-​to question, they always have an answer for me.
Before making the long trek to the burbs, hit up your local hardware store.

Great neighborhood store. Friendly staff and they carry all of the basic stuff you need for home repairs, gardening and lawn care.

Since living in the neighborhood have visited this location on multiple occasions for basic home repair, grill supplies, tie downs, paint, potted plants, and renting equipment. Staff had always gone out of their way to be helpful. Really a great spot to have up the street for the occasional weekend project.

I was walking down Wisconsin and I saw this hardware store with a wide selection of plants out front. I had been looking for a nursery nearby and Unilocal and google maps had been unable to help me. So I was surprised and delighted when I found this myself. As soon as I walked in the door the girl at the counter greeted me and asked if I needed any help finding anything. I informed her that I was just browsing and continued on my way. I was very impressed with the staff, I had three other different people ask me if I needed help while I was wandering around the store.
I finally asked one of them if they had any wreaths besides the one I had found. Ask people if they have wreaths and they look at you like you are speaking another language. It must not be a word we use much in the English vocabulary. After I explained I wanted a wreath for my door they informed me they only had the one Christmas wreath on sale, 50% off. So I got it for only $ 18 rather than the $ 35. For a small little hardware store they have everything except groceries. They must employ at least ten people at a time and train them well, everywhere I went there was someone to help me.
My only complaint was that the flowering plants they had outside had minimal to no flowers on them and looked a little dry/​wilted. I think being out in the direct sun all day might be a little too much for them, or they are not getting enough water. Overall great store, I’m happy with my wreath and will be back again in the future.

I went in to pick up some moving supplies in my soon-​to-​be ex-​neighborhood hardware store. Everyone was very friendly and willing to help me find what I needed (boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, painting supplies, etc.). One of the staff members was very helpful and made sure I left the store with every paint color pamphlet she had! What I did not leave the store with was the packing tape I purchased but I guess I should have also checked the bag myself. I had to go back a couple of days later to retrieve it and return another item that I didn’t end up needing but it was actually no trouble. Tip: this store does not require a receipt to return items! Overall it was a great experience and I would go back for any supplies I need if I’m ever in the neighborhood.

After recently moving into the neighborhood, we’ve had a few minor home improvement needs. I went here to find the random odds and ends, and the staff has always been exceptionally attentive. I don’t have to do anything but stare wide-​eyed for half a second before someone asks how they can assist me. They even have a pet aisle (!), and one employee who saw me standing in it told me to bring my pup by for a treat sometime.
My husband had an ambitious project of his own and wasn’t very sure of the equipment he needed. After explaining the desired outcome to an employee, he walked out with a few small tools and some priceless verbal guidance. They were spot-​on.
I actually look forward to trips to the hardware store for the first time in my life. Keep up the strong work!

My boyfriend and I with our four degrees could not figure out how to get my staple gun to work, so we took it to the hardware store in the hopes of figuring it out or getting a new one. We were offered help at the door (where else does that happen??), and the employee tried to help us and stood there patiently as my boyfriend ripped open two packages to try out other staple guns. None of us could figure out how any of them worked. Then the assistant manager, Neo, came over. Heedless of the desire to make a sale, he took our old staple gun and cheerfully showed us how to load the staples in it. We finished our reupholstery project without spending any more more money or even getting scolded. Glover Park Hardware saves the day yet again!

I regularly stop in here for supplies for my home like caulking, shelving hardware, stainless steel cleaner. I needed to replace all my kitchen knobs and the staff was very helpful.

The first time I came in here, I was warmly greeted by an employee, then asked if I needed help. Skeptical that this person would know what kind of tubing I was looking for, I told her anyway, and she took me directly to the aisle and specific place where the tubing was. Hmm. Suspiciously on point.
She asked if there was there anything else she could help me with.
«Yeah,» I said. «I need help understanding why you’re being so nice and helpful to me.»
«That’s the way it’s supposed to be,» she said. Then she sprinkled me with pixie dust and I was on my merry way.

I came into this hardware store when I first moved to the Glover park area and everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable. I am by no means a «handy» person but the staff worked with me to get the right pieces for my vision (I was putting up a shelf).
I’ve been back several times and they’ve always been extremely helpful.

This place is basically the anti-​Home Depot (which in my opinion is a very good thing). I’m doing a lot of work on my house and probably come here once or twice a week on average and have never had a negative experience. They have a surprising amount of selection and the clerks are always very helpful and friendly. Having this place down the street from my house definitely makes my life easier!

The worse cashiers ever!!! Seriously every time I go very consistently the worse customer experience. No eye contact, no smile, monotone voice. She always look like she is so unhappy to be there or to serve you. Best thing they can do is to fire their cashier or send her for serious training. It may take months in her case

Example 1: I do not know the first thing about paint and I wanted to paint my room, and I figured that buying a can of paint would be step 1. As I was staring at the wall of samples looking helpless, an employee came over and offered to give me a hand. She walked me through the different kinds of paint, offered her suggestions on color (turns out a yellow accent wall in a bright green room is an awful idea), mixed the paint, and was professional, incredibly competent and friendly. After I checked out, she told me to let her know how it went and to take pictures.
Example 2: One time, I got a wheel stuck on an angle grinder (because I had put it on upside down), and an employee in the back was kind enough to take it off for me, then demonstrated how to properly place a cutting wheel on an angle grinder – which I appreciated, because I like having all my fingers.
I’ve been in there for other, smaller things in the past, and the staff really is phenomenal. Hats off to some hard-​working folks who actually seem to care about their customers. I’m moving from the neighborhood soon, and I’ll be sorry to leave this place behind.

I recommend this Ace Hardware so often people have asked if I secretly work there. I don’t, but I would have super friendly coworkers if I did. Everyone here is so nice and extremely helpful.
Ace has everything you need to improve your tiny (or maybe not so tiny) Georgetown home and then some. I’ve bought table lamps here that look straight out of Pottery Barn. The cleaning products selection is amazing! Fortunately, the prices are so competitive you won’t have to think twice about buying that third bottle of Windex. Overall, a great neighborhood hardware store.

Are you there Unilocal?It’s me Sandra.
Talk about a one-​stop-​shop, I went to Glover Park Hardware in search of a gift for my niece, and left with a car-​full of goodies! Who knew I needed all this neat stuff? Not me, for one.
Anywho, my niece loves the bird seed I chose to fill the bird-​feeder I got her last year.
Thanks Glover Park Hardware!

Great neighborhood hardware store. They have everything you need for your spur of the moment home repairs. The staff are very friendly and always around to help.
Since there is not private parking lot, street parking is sometimes a huge pain.

I lived in Glover Park for a year and a half, and during that time this Ace Hardware store was just sort of part of the landscape.
But after a highly unsuccessful visit to a Home Depot mega-​store this afternoon, I returned to Glover Park Hardware and could finally really appreciate how good it is.
As soon as I walked in, the guy at the register walkie-​talkied the guy in the back of the store, who walked me right to the item I was looking for. Took less than 5 minutes to find what I needed. They were training a new employee who somehow made the computer system crash while he was ringing up my ShopVac. The situation could’ve turned into a real fiasco, but the manager handled it really well. I was out the door in no time.
Neighborhood location. Fine selection. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. What’s not to like?

My friends gave me a lot of grief about insisting on a trip to Glover Park Hardware. Why do we have to go all the way to Glover Park, they asked.
Truth be told, I hate hardware stores, and I figured I might as well go to the best rated one if I have to engage in hardware shopping.
And let me say, there’s a reason Glover Park Hardware has so many stars — unlike, let’s say, Home Depot where you’ll spend hours wandering around hoping someone will pop out and say «can I help you?» the staff at Glover Park Hardware (GPH) is always accessible, and always willing to help. No matter what it is you’re looking for, the store has it, and the staff knows where it’s located. There’s never a long line for checkout, the cashiers are always superfriendly (shout out to the one who offered me suggestions on how to best remove my old Massachusetts inspection stickers from my windshield), and the entire place just seems to run efficiently and smoothly.
