Brought in lawnmower to get fixed, they let me know it was like a 2 week waiting before they'd get at it---honesty is good and 2 weeks behind at that time was TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE!!! 2weeks to the day, I got the call it was done, ahead of schedule IMO. I've been going to this place ever since I came to GB 35 years ago, I have ALWAYS had good and friendly service in all areas of that place.

They created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, making me feel comfortable asking any questions or seeking advice on my rental needs. Their lighthearted banter helped ease any potential stress, and it was evident that they genuinely cared about ensuring I had a positive experience.Responsibility is a crucial trait in any employee, and these two teenagers demonstrated it exceptionally well. They were knowledgeable about the rental equipment and took the time to explain its proper usage, safety precautions, and maintenance guidelines.

I love our local hardware store. The prices here are generally not much more than the big box retailers, but you can almost always find just what you are looking for when you need it. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and always willing to help you out. Kimps also is our local dealer for a couple of well-known national brands like Festool, Milwaukee, and Ariens.

Buy your Milwaukee tools from here. The guys running that department are great. I wish the store hours matched big box store but I’m not gunna hold it against them.

If you are looking for a large selection of power equipment. Check out Kimps, lots of brands and models to choose from. Prices are competitive with big box stores. They service what they sell no need to ship it out for repairs if needed.

I stopped in to look at all of the outdoor decal they had outside. Beautiful spinners and other outdoor decorations. Some were priced extremely high (even with their "sale" prices) but some were reasonable on size. I left with three beautiful pieces, but really wanted one of the big spinners but wasn't about to spend that kind of money on one.

This place is great! I forgot how much better service a hardware store has over big box stores until i started going to Kimps. Excellent service, very knowledgeable staff, very fast service. I buy all of my paint here for my rentals and remodeling of my own home. Fill selection of Milwaukee tools and an excellent place to get keys cut. They have a little bit of everything and sell quality. I would definitely recommend.

Paint department rocks! Mallory went above and beyond! They didn't have enough of a specific paint that I was looking for. She called and located the other gallons I needed at a different store. Then she herself ran to that store and brought it back for us!

Friendly knowledgeable people who help you in any way they can. If they don't have it at Kimp's Ace hardware you don't need it. It's always a pleasure meeting the friendly people who know what they're doing and go out of their way to meet your needs.

Honest and knowledgeable. You can’t find this type of service at the big box stores. It is always worth the trip to come here if you need information to do the project yourself or can’t find the product anywhere else.

If you want professional help offered within seconds of entering Kimps front door - you'll love this business. Knowledge from pleasant staff radiates here.They've helped me unplug my duplex toilet, run water into connecting adjustable drainspouts to prevent ice on the sidewalk, the right shovel and salt to use this winter, purchase of a Traeger grill and accessories and I've only lived in the area 4+ months!

Can't find it? go to Kimps. Not really sure what you need? Go to Kimps. They're not as large as a big chain store but they probably have the stuff your looking for. If they don't, they will help you find it and get it ordered. Very knowledgeable and dedicated staff, no need to run around trying to find someone to help you, they'll find you 👍

01:45 20 Feb 20
I would give a higher rating for the customer service alone. The only reason I am leaving this as a 4 star rating is because I often find myself needing specialty items that are either unavailable or in limited supply as I get supplies here for my business. Still, very knowledgable staff and a good variety of high quality products.

Service guys in back are very sharp and well versed in their crafts. Brought in a Stihl BR-600 Backpack Blower and they got right to bottom of the fuel cap issues in about 20 seconds flat. Installed a new one and i was on my way in minutes. Very impressed and look forward to coming here again! Nice Store ! Nice People!

In doing a project I was looking for some rental tools to make the job go better and faster. I had heard from several people that Kimps was a good place to rent stuff.I called ahead to make sure they had what I needed and they did. The guy on the phone said he'd hold it for me. When I got there the rental process was smooth and easy. I was shown how to use the equipment and also offered so tips. They were very patient with me explaining the settings, etc. to me as I had zero experience running that type of equipment.I would hands down go there again to rent from the guys back in that department, thanks again!

They are reasonable priced only problem is they go quick!

When it comes to needing hardware, this is the place for me. I have never I believe left without getting what I needed. Their selections are awesome and huge, and the guys back in the hardware department are knowledgeable and helpful. And their parts department has just about anything you'll need to keep your mowers, chainsaws, snowblowers, leaf blowers and weed whackers going strong. If they don't have it, they'll order it in pronto, and you'll be back up and running quick. FYI, the also have a great rental department too, plus an LP gas refill station.

What this place does for the kids at Christmas time was so amazing. Santa and Mrs. Clause, Breakfast for not only the kids but the parents as well, porkies, French toast, muffins, juice, coffee. It was so kind of them to put all that on for their customers and community. After breakfast we took the kids over to the gift table where they got to spend their 5$ Kimps cash (couldn't believe the nice selection of toys to pick from) after that we made our way down to the craft table where the kids got to make a handprint snowman on a painted jar. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLED, You've made us and our friends returning costumes always!! You've went above and beyond and that shows the type of family owning this Store.

This is the BEST HARDWARE STORE I've ever been in; and I use to own one as a member of Mid-States Distribution and an ACE franchisee. From A to Z they have it and their rental dept is well stocked for the needs of contractors and homeowners alike. The real topper is FIRST CLASS KNOWLEDGEABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Give them a try. You won't regret it.
