Christophers Glen Echo Hardware

Strange review here, but I am a 20 year old female and my headlights both went out at the same time traveling at night. I live about 3 hours away and I stopped here for help. I arrived 25 minutes before close and every worker came out to help me with my car. They spent about 45 minutes checking my fuse boxes and headlights as well as charging my phone. The workers here are more than kind and extremely willing to help a stranger in need. I recommend Glen Echo Hardware store for all of your needs.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Although it is much smaller than big corporations like Home Depot and Lowes, you can find the majority of what you may need for your DIY projects. The prices are of course higher than those big hardware stores. The parking onsite is very easy.

I've been a longtime customer of Christopher's Glen Echo Hardware. It's a wonderful store. Their selection is good, and staff members are knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.

I usually deal with Kevin in the paint department. Kevin is exceptionally good-natured and helpful with customers. He makes it fun to go to the hardware store.

Kevin has matched other paint brands' colors perfectly for me in Benjamin Moore. He has helped me choose colors, type of paint, brushes and tools. He has saved me time by just telling me what I need to buy--no fuss, no sales pitch.

Of all the paint projects I've done, Kevin has never steered me wrong.

Frank and Brian are also excellent in the paint department. Frank's advice and color matching helped me dig out of a paint disaster once.
And Brian dreamt up a Benjamin Moore water-based match for another brand's oil-based paint. It worked perfectly.

Steve has cut lumber for me, and once delivered a grill for me on his own time.

Names I haven't mentioned here are because I cannot remember them right now. But the staff at Glen Echo Hardware is outstanding. I love going in there.

My dad and I were just discussing great hardware stores and we were talking about Glen Echo Hardware and what a fantastic store it is. I said, "I hope they survived covid." I checked Google and was happy to see that they're still there. Living in The Palisades in DC, this was always my go-to for all things hardware. The staff could always answer my questions and help me out.When my dad was in town, we inevitably would end up making a trip there for something. I think my dad just liked going there because it reminds him of good old fashioned hardware stores. Great place!!!

Very good. Employees were very very helpful.

I would always go to my local hardware store before going to the big retailers. At Christopher Glen Echo you are going to get an excellent personal service and they'll go the extra mile to help you find what you are looking for a a solution with an alternative.

Glen Echo Hardware is my first stop for anything related to hardware, yard maintenance, or repairs. It's a physically small store but, rather amazingly, they have almost everything you need. Best of all, the staff gets you in and out fast (compare this to lousy Home Depot) and makes sure you get what you need (again, Home Depot is full of know nothings vs. Glen Echo Hardware staff who are very knowledgeable). BTW, Glen Echo has mulch, wood chips, bags of rocks for hard scaping, and propane tanks -- although they could do a better job advertising that they have these much needed items! I am SO glad they are here in the Cabin John/Glen Echo neighborhood (so I don't have to go you know where).

we had a big gang of people who bought all of their lighters, we went there 3 times in one day. they also gave us a discount because we had good bargaining skills

Very friendly and helpful staff. I came over from a hardware store in Bethesda that continued to let me down.

Classic old-school hardware store. Lots of stuff (that really is hardware; go elsewhere for lampshades except if you like nice aluminum ones to go with work lights.) Staff are knowledgeable (helping you avoid expensive mistakes) and friendly.

Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Right when you enter the store you are greeted by employees ready to help you. With the wide selection they have I don't know why you'd go anywhere else!

I’ve lived in the area my whole life and Glen Echo Hardware has always been my family’s go-to hardware store. They’re always really helpful and they have everything.

I love to come here because the staff is so helpful with advice for home projects. They are also well-stacked with quality products that they know well.

these guys helped answer my parents questions when they started doing some DIY house work and now they answer my questions when my parents make me do DIY house work, great stock, great atmosphere thy feel like neighbors
