On the East side of Phoenix, there are 2 options for Home Improvement - Home Depot ( Thomas Rd & 36th St) or this location for Ace Hardware. Honestly, I go to HD often for their pricing, large selection, rental equipment, landscaping needs, and much more.
I recently replaced an old 1950's toilet with a Toto Dual Flush and installed a new gas range in my home. After consulting with Travis from Strong Home Improvement, he said that Ace is the Place. They will answer your questions, point you towards the right fixtures and are ALWAYS Helpful. He was right-on-the-money. Each and every visit (4x), the staff knew what I was asking for and knew EXACTLY where the parts where located in the store.
If you are tackling a project at home, ACE is your PLACE!
