  • Their car key copy service is top notch.
  • Always knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, even when I'm asking weird questions.
  • Incredibly helpful staff. They had everything I was looking for and knew exactly where to find it.

What Users Like The Least
  • The reason for not giving five stars are the rude cashiers.
  • Time and time again you get no hello, thank you or any pleasantries.
  • If this happened once I’d never say a word but it’s happened on countless occasions where they ring you up and don’t even say thanks.

This is one of our go to places in Ocean City when we are looking for items and supplies for our townhouse. They have everything you need from grilling items, tools, beach items, Yeti coolers and all of your other household items that are needed. It’s easy to get into, centrally located and the custom service is spot on! Would highly recommend them if you are looking for a hardware store in Ocean City, Maryland.

Friendly and helpful people. Key making was super fast. They also have in stock hard to find things like AA battery chargers.

I was in desperate need of a key earlier today after mine got snapped in half. It was the only one I had in my possession. The key cutting at this place here was able to make it happen even with a snapped key and make me a new one that worked. Thank you so much. You guys were a real lifesaver!

I went here looking for a small pocket knife. The first associate that I come into contact with showed me where they were located. Ace Hardware had a nice selection. I purchased one.

Jeremy and his guys were fantastic. They provided great advice on a new grill , put it together, delivered it , and removed my old grill. They communicated with me every step of the way and delivered it on time , making sure to be careful on my deck and driveway. A+ service all around !

Always a great store to visit. All the staff are friendly and happy to help. Handicap parking and wheel chair accessible. Electric to garden supplies, Lawn mowers to every size nut and bolt possible. Even get a new key made. Ace has a lot to offer, so go check them out. Stay safe and be blessed.

This has got to be one of the best hardware stores I've ever been to. If they don't have, ya probably don't need it!

Had just about anything you need for in or out of your place without having to leave OC to get to the big box stores. Highly recommend!

Pretty good selection of products especially for being a local beach store but the reason for not giving five stars are the rude cashiers. Time and time again you get no hello, thank you or any pleasantries. If this happened once I’d never say a word but it’s happened on countless occasions where they ring you up, slap the receipt in your hand and don’t even say thanks.

I’d highly advise to train your staff on having some manners but notably the cashiers. Store staff has always been friendly.

4. What is the typical roof leak repair cost, and how is it calculated?

Service questions
1. Should I stay home during roof replacement?
+-

It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.

2. How long does roof replacement take?
+-

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.
