Billings Paint & Hardware Inc

A hardware store that takes you back to the 70s &80s. You can find just about everything and the helpful staff are all over while you shop. Too bad the big boxes have killed many like this one. I will go back just to explore.

This place is great! You always want a local hardware store in your neighborhood. Billings Paint & Hardware is located in the Belmont Shore community of Long Beach 90803. They always seem to have what I need. How do they do that? Great helpful staff!

They always have what I need! Especially when I’m in a pinch!

What's not to love about a local hardware shop on 2nd Street in BS. Been going to Ace Hardware for years. Love the assistance I get every time I go there. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. So convenient having them in our community over the years. Hate going to Home Depot just to get a light bulb and spend 15 minutes just to get to the correct aisle. Highly recommend!

It's a local hardware store that has literally everything. I've gotten locks, let copies, screws, paint, holiday lights, birthday candles, a hose, etc. They have it all and always have plenty of staff to ask questions. Which is recommended because I never know where anything is in their tight, labyrinthine corridors. Seriously it is both claustrophobic and kind of cozy in there. Their prices are a bit higher than online but it's local and convenient. Highly recommend. 10/10

Quiet Riot as the store Audio and massive wall music of Yeti goods. Love it

I love all Ace, but this one especially. The staff is always friendly and helpful. My wife loves their eclectic Christmas ornaments they have every winter. They have a great paint selection as well.

Fantastic neighborhood resource and great hardware store. The staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. And the store's much bigger than it appears from the outside with 2 levels. They have almost anything that you could need. Highly recommend!!

Slice of heaven BILLINGS ACE is a great store for many reasons.

I stopped going to those 2 ace hardware stores owned my a rude man and his rude son the one on 4th St and the other on Anaheim in Long Beach 3 yrs ago. I'd been treated with neglect, rude pampas, snotty unfair biased male chovenistic behavior. They approach assuming women don't know what they are looking for. Or don't approach at all leaving a woman hanging , passed up for an hour in a space 20ft x 20ft, those children never know what and where things are it's the tiniest silly space anyhow certainly can't be called a hardware store,And it was I who always had to teach them. Exhausting.

Anyhow---
BILLINGS ACE HARDWARE on 2nd Street, LB is exactly what an Ace is supposed to be. Built on knowledge, family values, customer care and friendly well stocked diverse relaxed but very efficient atmosphere. It's how it was designed to be pleasant and full of possibilities and everything extra you didn't expect and always, always kind helpful staff..
As an artist I rarely am looking for hardware for typical purposes and always looking for solutions to a Creative endeavor that isn't easy to describe but at BILLINGS Not one time has anyone in 16yrs EVER SAID TO ME you can't use this for that or , that's not what that's for or anything along the lines that would make anyone feel like they don't know what they want or need or came for.
And I do. I only just came to buy it.
So it's a refreshing experience evertime at Billings.

what I don't need an education from a closed minded sales person. Like while entering the either of the other 2 aces in LB,
My education and inventory of Art supplies in my 2000sf loft studio FILLED with hardware, equipment, machinery and tools isn't tattooed on my face but it shouldn't have to be. I should not have to state my resume just to buy a nut. Geez THANK GOSH FOR BILLINGS ACE ALWAYS COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL.
Billing is perfect. All good Ace hardware stores should make you feel at home. Just as BILLINGS does EVERYTIME.
In Long Beach we ONLY HAVE ONE REAL ACE HARDWARE STORE that's BILLINGS ON 2ND STREET .
any other is a rediculous idea of what they THINK is ace is.

BILLINGS ACE is the REAL DEAL ACE HARDWARE STORE

Our local hardware store. Like the good Ole days, if they don't have it.........it probably doesn't exist. We were helped by Val. That guy was great. Friendly and knowledgeable. Thank You Val

I forgot how great an old school hardware store is for finding random items. Believe or not it is hard to find a store to buy stock matches these days. But they had emergency! People there helpful. Nice feeling, small town customer service and products.

Staff is so helpful. Their prices are a little higher than other stores but rents in the shore are crazy high. Doug Billings has been a champ during the pandemic to try and get the ppe's everyone was looking for. He is, in my opinion, a community hero.

Great hardware store in little space. Very attentive and helpful service. The antithesis of the giant box store hardware store, but still with everything you need around the house (just a smaller selection than the bigger stores). Sign up for the ACE Rewards program and you'll get regular discounts there.

I highly recommend anyone looking for Christmas lights to go see Doug & his team at Billings Ace Hardware on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore Long Beach. They’re the best! Great products & friendly service.

Surprisingly large selection for the space. Owner introduced himself and took his time to help me find everything I needed. Clerks were nice as well. 5 stars. I hope this place stays around for a long time

A great local institution. Its two stories are packed to the gills with a wide variety of hardware. They also have a considerable seasonal stock that rotates through, so if you need beach toys or Christmas ornaments this is a good place to check.

We love our little neighborhood hardware store! Has everything and they are always so helpful!

Billings is a Belmont Shore institution. They have absolutely everything, from those funky old glass fuses to canning jars. If you haven't bought it before, ask. They know where everything is in this little hardware store, which is packed to the gills. Great, personable service. Love this store!!

Great shop. It's an ace on 2nd street so it can be a little pricey but not too bad... Especially if you live close there aren't many other options.. And they still have a massive selection.

It's like the opposite of the big box stores. Someone always asks me if I need help finding something. Lots of stuff in a small space. They have a great assortment of nuts and bolts and other actual hardware.
