Great hidden gem to buy hardware and other products. Very clean and well stocked. Mr. JD is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I will certainly recommend them. Thank you JD for going extra mile to help me out.

I recently needed to replace the inside handle of a screen door at my parents' house. The piece was not standard to screen doors, but after a bunch of searching, the helpful folks at the front desk found a door handle that fit the bill just fine. They even opened the package to make sure the fitting was the right size. Got it home, installed it, and my Mom thinks I'm a genius. Not the first time they have gone out of their way to help me with hardware challenges. And a locally owned family business!

I do tree work and work for myself. It’s essential that my saws work so I can finish jobs quickly. Mark at Ace Hardware got my saw running in less than 20 minutes. He was quick and professional and really got me out of a jam of my own making. All the employees at Ace have been very helpful and kind. I’d recommend this store to anyone.

Mark and his crew have always been great! I had an issue with a Stihl trimmer and they had it repaired before I could finish shopping!

The store is great and the staff is very helpful! Michael worked with me (an amateur) to find the plumbing solution I needed, saving me a ton of time and money.

After a frustrating morning I stopped by Ace and the boys fixed basically my entire life. Helpful, professional, knowledgeable, everything about my encounter made my day better!! Thanks pals!! 15/10!!!

Go here every time before you check the big box stores because this place is why local hardware stores are so fabulous. Everyone's friendly and helpful. And they have more inventory than you might think. Now, they have the full line of Stihl power equipment, including service. When they fill up your propane tank, you'll realize how much you've been getting cheated by those tank swap places.

Uriah and Michael were super helpful! Initially went in for supplies for a project, but in the parking lot I had some car troubles. Both were quick, polite, and knowledgeable. Cannot express my thanks enough!!

Northwest ACE Hardware in Blacksburg is everything you could hope for in a local hardware store! I absolutely love the friendly, community-focused atmosphere—it’s such a refreshing change from the experience of navigating a massive megastore like Home Depot or Lowe’s.

The customer service here is exceptional. Everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and ready to assist, but I especially want to highlight Mark. He always brings great energy, goes above and beyond to help, and consistently finds creative solutions to any issues I bring to him. His dedication and positivity make every visit a pleasure.

Their prices are fantastic, and they somehow always have exactly what I’m looking for—whether it’s hardware essentials or even Pokémon cards for my son!

This store is always my first stop for any project or need. It’s a local treasure that combines great service, great prices, and a great selection. Highly recommend!

Whoever the two guys working at 12:00 pm on 10/26/24, you’re literally the reason why this is one of the best stores I’ve ever visited.

I came in looking for a screw and nut for my bike. I didn’t know what I was looking for, but the staff let me bring my bike in and helped me find the exact pieces I needed. Very friendly would definitely come here again.

We came in to see about reprogramming our car key. The employee took our key apart, diagnosed and fixed the problem. Saved us a couple of hundred dollars. That's great service!

I had to come in to get a new faucet aerator. I had no idea which one I needed. The staff took their time to not only pick it out for me, but also make sure it fit correctly. Very friendly, and helpful people work there. Thank you!

A little over a month ago my daughter broke her key fob for a Volkswagen Jetta. After going to a dealership and the locksmith we decide to take advantage of the Ace hardware auto key replacement that they were advertising. Seems like a pretty good value so we tried the Dublin Virginia store first.
My daughter went in alone she is 18 year old and the employee working the kiosk totally dismissed her to the point where she got frustrated and left the store.
The Blacksburg Virginia store being about equal distance I decided that I would try this store and initially the service was good they did say they would have to order the key for the Volkswagen Jetta and it'll be in 7 to 10 days. After 2 weeks I started calling with varying degrees of customer service but all saying it hasn't came in yet will call you.
Finally after nearly a month I called and after a while they said that the key had come in I didn't ask what day I was just glad to get some traction on this issue. After the manager started grinding the key he said that they shipped the wrong one and they were not able to help me he did Apologize gave me a refund but offered no solution for this problem.
I understand one employee at one store having a bad day so this has been two separate locations 30 miles apart this may just be a systemic problem with Ace hardware or the automotive key replacement program may not be where it needs to be.
In an event I will not be patronizing Ace hardware anytime soon.”

Awesome to have a real hardware store with real inventory and really friendly and helpful staff in town. This Ace reliably helps me avoid going to Christiansburg. The previous TruValue that was here was such a letdown that I barely ever considered going there for anything... 90% chance they didn't have it, if they did it was overpriced, and the staff was not helpful or nice.

I have only been here a few times but it's been a great experience and it's a very convenient location! Many times there's no need to drive all the way to Christiansburg

I was in there about 10min ago. I tried to get the website price on a product I was purchasing. They told me that the store is stocked by Ace but not owned by Ace so they don’t except Ace website prices.Guess that were a local small businesses bullcrap must be rubbing off.

I came in yesterday to get a drill bit and ran into your wonderful employee, Mark. I ended up walking out with 5 other things because he was so helpful! I had a lot of random things I needed to fix in my apartment and he gave me helpful recommendations/solutions to my issues. Greatly Appreciated!

So much better than what was there before! Keep up the good work and maybe figure out how to "expand" and get better parking. :-O

Very nice ace hardware, the staff were friendly and helpful.
I noticed they had Pokemon cards behind the counter, I wasn't expecting that but it was an interesting addition, no magic cards though. I would have liked to see MTG in with the collection to buy.

Wow! The shelves are packed, and prices are reasonable. Everything you need and only minutes away. There are plenty of staff, ready to help. It's just like it was in the 80s with Heavener.

Employee Mark was extremely helpful in finding me an unconventional solution to an issue with my car key fob. Saved me ~$130 on buying a whole new one.

Couldn't find what I needed so an associate found it on line, found the aisle it was located in and showed me where it was. Excellent service.

I have been in here a couple times since it came under the new ownership of being Ace and not Heaveners. I am impressed with the selection and appreciative of their pricing, it’s comparable to the big box stores prices. I will most likely be back here. Staff was super friendly greeting and letting me know where I could find what I was looking for.

This place kicks the old truvalue to the dirt. There’s actually stuff you need stocked plus more you didn’t think you’d need. It sure as heck beats going to christiansburg.

Well stocked with kind and helpful staff. It’s nice to have a hardware store so close to home (really beats driving 15 mins to Christiansburg.)

Dog friendly too!

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
