    I haven't yelped in a minute so this will be poorly written but I've never really written that well.

    I'm giving ACE 4 stars because they have everything you need to make most at home repairs without needing to call a plumber or electrician. They have a lot of stuff packed into a small space but hey at least they know where everything is and all you have to do is ask.

    Today I went in for a plunger and they had a few but no heavy duty plungers so I was slightly disappointed and even more so when I got to my toilet that needed fixing. The plunger I bought wasn't big enough so my only request would be to carry bigger plungers.  Other than that is was a cool experience.

    Central Ace Hardware was once known as Post True Value. This little store is where all the construction engineers pick up all their paints, screws and other stuff. The inventory is fairly limited. And the staff really do not know what they are selling.

    Most of the people who come in are the homeless. They pick up a can of spray or brake cleaner to get high. But what am I saying, so are the painters.

    We were on a mission to gather supplies to paint the new apartment.

    As soon as I politely asked for help, I felt as though I was inconveniencing the woman at the register. A fellow customer, who was very friendly, helped us more than the store employee. Shoot. He should have worked there- he was nice and knowledgeable.

    Whatevs. We got the supplies we needed. I will come back, I just hope they are a little more helpful next time.

    I just finished writing a review for Central Builders Supply who also own this store as well, and whereas I can get busy and visit Central one or two days a week, I would frequent twice as often to see Terrence and Lee at Ace Hardware, whose kindness and patience almost knows no limits (well almost - I agreed last year to stop coming in at 5:15 PM with questions and purchases :--).  Similar to my review today of Central, I came to learn basic electrical, repair, painting, etc., through a series of questions and purchases as a resident manager.   I will say that these two have a little more time to spend on us for this store is not quite as busy with professional contractors that are waiting in line to be helped.  With Terrence and Lee we have developed a friendship that is simply fun.  They both have an excellent sense of humor that they share with the english language and I am occassionaly surprised and delighted by their insights.  If they know you, they are very funny and quick.

    Thank you again for the last four years of help and advice.

    (as Terrence and Lee already know, we are learning Mandarin right now via The Rosetta Stone series, but we're going to surprise them next week with a little dialogue of our own!  :--).

    This place is super fun. I got some keys made (cheap). The counter is staffed with sweet tattooed boys and has a TON of fun things to play with while you wait. Basically toys for your inner-kid. No idea about whether they actually have any hardware but just think of it as Zinc's eight year old little brother.

    Great hardware store.  I live nearby and go there frequently and have yet to not find what i need.  They seem to always have everything that Ace carries, and then some.  You know those little wood shelf braces that fit into holes in adjustable wood bookcases?  They had three different types of those.  In my view, this Ace is bested only Fredricksen's on Fillmore.
