We recently moved so I tried Howard's Ace on the south side of Indian School and 32nd street. I was doing a few home repairs on my own, but didn't really know what I needed. I was greeted as I walked in and asked if I needed help. Boy did I- I wish I remember his name, but he walked me through everything I needed AND recommended a few ways to save money by purchasing individual components vs. the pre-packaged stuff that was marked up 100% for the pretty package, I guess (from the individual components). Pricing at Howard's Ace was also cheaper by 50% on the pre-packaged kit vs. our previous Ace store on Thomas. I had just checked there and decided not to buy the kit because it seemed ridiculously expensive.
