Awesome neighborhood hardware. Has everything you need. Along with excellent customer service!

People are nice but the store is not well stocked. Great for some plant additions (lots of natives) but if Im doing a plumbing job and need a specific piece of cpvc, or just a very specific thing in general, I generally just go to Lowes. I feel like I find what I need for home repairs maybe 3 out of 5 visits. But the plants are good.

Needed to have keys copied and not only was Waverly Ace open, it was fully staffed. I was greeted as I came in and the young man didnt just point me to the location where keys are cut, he walked me back and did the job himself while I roamed around the store and shopped. The gentleman who checked me out was so nice, as was his orange cat assistant.

Overall good service. However there needs to be some type of line organizing for the key cutting area people come and stand and not realize others have been waiting already. A nice sticker on the floor would help

Garden staff member was unhelpful after he asked he asked me twice if I needed assistance. He never came to see what assistance I needed. When I called him on his lack of help, he tried to turn the table and act like I made the error. The female manager was not of much help either when I reported the incident. Sunday afternoon May 16, 2021. Whatever happened to costumer service? Oh, oh can I help now? No, I’m leaving. There are too many stores for you to be disrespectful. I can stop somewhere else. Green mount store location.

Horrible experience! Women in the garden center utterly rude. I tried to purchase red mulch for my garden. Im assuming because my boyfriend and I came in ten minutes before closing they felt it was okay to do so. They treated both him and I as if we were peasants. The women in the garden center yelled at me for not knowing about the mulch purchasing rule. I typically shop at lowes and I didnt know that I had to purchase upfront before picking the mulch up. I put the mulch in my cart myself then was stopped by her. My boyfriend had a similar experience with a gentleman upfront. Please work on your customer service. ACE is not the place or the helpful hardware store.

I was going to the Waverly location about once a week to satisfy my newfound plant interest and will be taking my expensive hobby elsewhere. Literally anywhere else. I can deal with the price gouging, but wont be returning for the treatment Ive experienced on several occasions, and the lack of acknowledgement my black best friend receives every time we shop there. The woman with the gray hair was so unbelievably unpleasant after being completely unhelpful that not only will my therapist be hearing about this, and that Im leaving this review

It has the feel of a home town hardware store,the employees know just what you want and are very friendly.They take the time to remember your name and have any item you could ever need.Their merchandise is on par with the bigger stores but with the feel of a family business.I recommend this place to anyone who has a major project or just stopping by to grab a few things you might need.Great customer service and affordable prices.

I live closer to the Fed Hill location, but Waverly is far superior. Though, the walk is far, on rare occasion Ill make the excursion all the way out there only because I know Waverly will have what Im looking for.

Absolutely the best hardware store. Folks working here are so helpful and kind, even though with everything going on. They helped me find what I needed quickly. They really went above and beyond, and I really, really appreciate it. Great prices, too.I cant imagine going anywhere else for any hardware needs I might have!

This is a great Ace. The help is knowledgeable and willing to help. They usually ask me if I need help before I need to find them. The prices are average. So glad to have this place nearby in the city.

Review №27

The neighborhood hardware store everyone wishes they had! If Waverly Ace Hardware is in your realm, patronize them! They have a LOT, always a a friendly employee to help. Every single encounter has been positive with coworkers being competent & kind. It can be slightly more expensive than big box stores, but SO MUCH BETTER (Rustoleum paint same $) The coworkers & management care about you as a customer, rare in this time!Case in point, my fiancé left his cell phone on the counter right before they closed. We KNEW it would be ok as long as it was inside, no nerves overnight-RARE!! (Not only was the employee super-helpful even though closing up, he kept the phone safe to be picked up the next morning.) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is my favorite store - even more than Target. I get my hanging flower plants here and random tools whenever I need something. The coworkers are so nice and helpful. They always have weird little knick knacks, environmental friendly stuff, and support local businesses. The best part is the store cat Benjamin!

Review №42

So helpful! There are several Ace stores closer but I will probably go here in the future. I’ve been looking for a particular product and have been to or called several stores without success. But one phone call to this store helped me tremendously and saved me several more phone calls and visits and now I have a plan to hopefully get what I’m looking for when it’s back in stock.

Great local hardware store. A short walk/drive from local neighborhoods. Super helpful staff. Store has a handsome resident cat. Great aisle of bolts and screws and any fastener you can imagine. Otherwise, good selection but not in the same league as big box home improvement stores on price and variety of selection.

Review №50

What a neighborhood hardware store should be: Friendly, knowledgeable, and well stocked. Glass cutting is super- the double thickness glass is what was used in older homes as standard, thats what you want. The antithesis of the soul-less big box home improvement stores. Everything has its place, but the vibe here is what you are looking for.

Review №51

Very satisfied with the purchases of house paint supplies. Ace has a reputation for being a bit pricey, and while that does apply to many items, I was able to get exactly what I needed at what I thought were great prices. The sales staff is courteous, and knowledgeable. Im entering phase two of this project and already theyve been able to answer questions about product availability and pricing over the phone. Not sure if they will have exactly what I need, but I have enough information to warrant going there first. Great job!!

While they don’t have it all, they’ve got a lot! Staff is usually very helpful, and the recently expanded garden section out back is great. They match and mix paint well, have lots of hardware available (nuts, bolts, etc.), and have one of the chillest store cats you’ll ever meet.

Ace Hardwares are great stores, usually staffed with knowledgeable folks who like what they do. This outpost is no exception. The staff is amazing, the expanded garden center is an oasis (chickens! A pond!) and the still have s full service counter where they cut keys. Parking, too!

Review №63

I have lived in Charles Village for over 20 years and love the fact these folks moved into the neighborhood. While they might lack a few of the choices of the big box stores, they make up for that and more in their customer service and willingness to order what you need. They have a garden center and off LP gas exchange for my grill. They also sell Christmas trees. A total win. Plus - they have the cat, always a nice touch.

Review №71

The commitment to customer service -- unfortunately so rare these days -- is consistently a priority here. So grateful to have Waverly Ace HW as an option in the City so I dont have to drive out to the county for a big-box HW store. EVERYONE at the Waverly Ace is GREAT. On my most recent visit, the young woman at the register knew precisely where to send me to find what I was looking for. When I came back to the registers with my purchase she was helping another customer -- not with a transaction so much as with a plumbing question. When another associate saw shed be held up, he quickly came to the other register to speed me through. I went to find the floor manager to pass along my appreciation. Everyone is polite and helpful and seems to feel like its a big deal customers are shopping in the store that employs them. How refreshing. I dont know how Ace finds and trains these great employees...but its a model that should be replicated.

This is a great hardware store! When originally opened, the staff was often ignorant and sometimes downright rude. Then something changed. Now, the staff is knowledgeable, polite, understanding, and very friendly. I am usually greeted as an old friend. Why drive miles to Home Depot when most items are available just around the corner? (The cat, Benjamin Moore, is another delightful member of this wonderful team).

Review №89

This is the definition of what a great, local store can be. Staff is always super nice and super helpful - youre greeted unfailingly by smiling staff members offering help. Its practically shocking in this day in age - most of us are used to and almost want to be left alone when shopping - and the staff is OK to leave you alone too if you refuse help. But if you are trying to fix something around the house and dont know what youre doing, they come through on Aces advertising - its the place with the friendly hardware folks. (FYI on Ace - its not actually a chain like the Depot, or even a franchise - its a purchasing and advertising co-op, so Aces are locally owned and operated and maintain more independence than chains or franchises.) I went in recently and rather than be directed to aisle x, the person walked there with me and made sure we found the item I was looking for together, this after helping me find exactly the hardware I needed to adapt some plumbing in my home. They are small and so a little hard for them to compete with the Depot on pricing and selection, but for small needs and problems where you need real, actual service, theres no alternative. You just cant help but leave this place without feeling good, so I prefer it for most trips if I think theyll have what I need. Bonus is their location works well for me - there arent any other hardware stores nearly so convenient in the northern part of the city. Definitely recommended. Oh, and, say hi to the cat.
