South East Ace Inc.

Sometimes less is more. This store may have a small physical footprint, but I’ve been to larger stores and found less variety and choices, longer waits, and impersonal customer service. I’ve had very positive experiences at this ACE Hardware, and I’ll be a returning customer.

It is an excellent store stocked with nearly everything you could need without having to go to a big box store. People and service are outstanding!

I received incredible great help with the workers...
They took their time to help me find items and support friendly...
I wish I could give them an extra 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Ace Team is so friendly and knowledgeable. My wife and I were assisted soon as we walked in and were even greeted when we were in the parking lot. Will definitely use this Ace Hardware again. Thanks Ace Team!!!

Staff is pleasant and helpful. Has the feel of an old fashioned, small town hardware store again. For smaller things, I prefer to come here over the big box stores. For bigger things, I do head out to the bigger stores.

EVERYONE at this store goes above and beyond to help you get what you came in for. It's always a pleasure doing business here.

Waiting on a resolution on a faulty stihl chainsaw (a definite lemon). Will update soon.

Update: Saw was exchanged reven though stihl would do nothing. A+ for customer service

Great service from Mr. Bill!

This Ace hardware is extremely friendly. The employees are very helpful and Tyler was an excellent assistant with the paint department. Thank you so much for such great customer service it was worth the trip.

The young clerk was so helpful. I was hoping to find license plate bolts, and he tried three on the car, unsuccessfully, but still a kind service. I found the bubble wrap I needed at a good price. The store is clean and well organized with plenty of help.

The folks in this store went above and beyond to accommodate the fact I had my dogs as much as i tried to carry my own stuff they wouldn’t allow me to said I had my hands full already. I’d give em 10 stars if I was able

Popped by this store a few weeks ago in search of a lock - the staff was super helpful. Got assistance quickly and found just want I needed. I love supporting local businesses like these! You should definitely stop by, they are most helpful.

Great locally/family owned hardware store. Claude (owner) Paul (manager) good genuine people who care about their customers. Not the biggest store ever but has everything you need. I would highly recommend shopping here over some of the other guys like lowes and home depot

This is my local hardware. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The store is locally owned, convenient, and carries everything you would expect in a hardware store, ranging from gardening supplies and outdoor grills to the expected outdoor and indoor hardware, paint, and tools, to household items like lightbulbs and specialized batteries, etc If in doubt about whether they might have something, give them a ring and they’ll be happy to talk with you about it. They are much more convenient, and local and knowledgeable than the big box stores

A wonderfully wide array of products and great selection for such a small location. The staff is friendly and helpful. I find what I am looking for quickly every time. This is the only hardware store on this side of the river that is close to downtown Columbia, and I choose to use it quite often.

The staff is always very helpful and polite! They usually have what I need, but if they don’t, they help me find a way to get it quickly. They assembled and delivered a new grill for us perfectly! I highly bc recommenced ACE on N Beltline!

Very nice people always have what I want for diy

Very friendly and knowledgeable. We were passing through and need parts for our RV. They were able to refer another local business and help get us on the way.
Thank you

Here I am five years later. Still go there for most needs, in fact even yesterday. Past year or two, there are two guys there esp. helpful: Surge and Taylor, have been great, really knowledgeable. If they don't know it, it's probably because our knowledge of warp-field theory and Borg algorithms isn't that advanced yet. Okay, kidding on the last part.
Five years ago: Yes, the hours are not as wide open as chains, but if you want someone knowledgeable and who doesn't run from you or pretend like he or she didn't see you, I'd say go here. I've never had a bum steer from these folks. Can you say the same of the big chain stores?

Small, but always has what I need and I don't have to walk around for miles trying to find stuff and someone to help me. Super helpful and friendly staff. They are the convenience store for hardware!
