Emighs (pronounced "Amys", but I prefer the intentional mispronunciation of "Emmys") is my local hardware store. As part of the Ace Hardware chain, they certainly dont give off the vibe of your typical big-box store. Although smaller in size, they are definitely not smaller in stature when compared to the Home Depot or Lowes. Especially when it comes to friendly staff, knowledgeable assistance, and abundant cashiers, which are all lacking in the big chains. As for Emighs pricing, I find that they are typically within a couple cents compared to the warehouse stores, but I gladly pay the difference for better service. A couple months ago, Emighs celebrated its 100th anniversary with food, live music, and a big sale. It was neat to see a bunch of people dancing to jazz and eating cotton candy in the parking lot of a hardware store. Its also telling to see a small neighborhood store flourish for so long, even in todays mass retail climate. If youve forgotten the feel of what a great neighborhood store should be like, Id definitely recommend going to Emighs.

I went to Emigh to try to find a hinge for cabinets in our kitchen in North Natomas. The original ones were very cheap, but I couldnt find any replacements. The associate I talked with was very friendly and recommended that I try one they had in stock. Unfortunately it didnt work, but then another associate said I should try a cabinet/door store I never would have thought about. I knew a wholesale who carried them in Del Paso Heights, but even Emigh didnt have an account with them. But the store they recommended did, and thus, through a very roundabout way I was finally able to access an unlimited supply of the hinges at a great price. Thanks to the staff at Emigh for pointing me in the right direction. Their customer service is great!

Glowing review time...we had purchased a (cheap) set of holiday lights circa November. They proved terribly defective - 2 strings blew out after 10 minutes and ran hot. Was about to throw away the 3 sets and be disgusted by the deal. I was persuaded to try to return them - the store should at least know they were defective. NOT ONLY were they more than gracious about allowing credit for those lights, but they had precisely what I was really in need of - high quality led lights for an outdoor application. I got good guidance and came away a very happy customer. And found the short ladder I needed too. They benefited from being nice! Thank you Emigh!!

I love this store and go there again and again. It is hard to write anything good about it without comparing it with Home Depot. Firstly, and most importantly, the staff here is very knowledgeable and they are always around. Secondly, the garden and outdoor section is a lot more intelligently and lovingly stocked unlike Home Depot where they treat the outdoors+garden section like an outhouse. The atmosphere in the El Camino branch is very friendly. Though, I wish they would un-clutter the place a bit, especially the area right behind the check out counters.

When you want the lowest price, dont mind wandering around a warehouse in search of what you want, and cant find anyone to answer questions, go to Home Depot or Lowes. If you dont mind paying a little more for fantastic service, go to Emigh Ace. I had to write this review today because I needed to replace the switch on a lamp I took in with me to make sure I got the right part. Not only did the employee (Mike?) walk me to where the part was located, he installed it while I waited !! at no charge!! THATS SERVICE!

I am usually happy with Emigh and their knowledgeable sales staff but I was disappointed when I went to get some plants on a Tuesday morning at 11:00am. Not one person in that department (outside). I went inside and asked for help. I was told that there are 2 people who work in the garden department. One was on vacation and the other one was out to lunch. Nobody could help. I ended up at the nursery in Carmichael. Its very easy to lose business if there is no sales staff to help customers.

I recently had some plumbing issues and these guys were very helpful. This is not the first time they have gone above and beyond. This store has an amazing selection of stuff, its even fun just to browse. Its maybe a bit more expensive than the big box stores, but it is worth it. If you watch for their sales, you can get some great deals. Even the cashiers are very friendly.

The people here are always nice and if need help someone will usually come along soon and ask if they can help me find something. I was recenly helped by Kurt while looking for a squeegee and supplies to build a screen stretcher. I showed him the photo and he had some suggestions as far as the types of wood I should consider and he spent some time helping me find what I needed.

I have spent a lot of money at Emigh Hardware over the past 40 or so years. They are definitely the best hardware store I have ever seen. The staff is very knowledgeable and have helped me solve some pretty unusual repair issues. I always start here when shopping, and seldom have to go to the dreaded big box store.

Knowledgeable and helpful staff makes this store absolutely the best for those of us who need help with all home improvement and maintenance projects. Prices are competitive. Products good quality. Many sales and Rewards discounts. Highly recommend Emighs as your one and only neighborhood hardware store.

I wish, wish, wish this store was closer to my house. If it was, I would not set foot in Homeless Despot again. They have everything, lots of helpful, friendly staff, sales on many items regularly, easy parking, open early, the store is easy to navigate... I am not a shopper but this place is fun to wander.

Emighs has been a lifesaver more times than anyone will ever know. They have a great staff that is dedicated, efficient, and wonderful people. Not only do they show great care in what they do, they help the local community in any was possible. I will not move unless Emigh will move with me.

I love this place. Being a "not so crafty" first time home buyer in this area, Im so grateful to have Emighs nearby. Everyone is so helpful and they always have what Im looking for. I always feel so intimidated being a woman in a hardware store, but this place makes me feel comfortable.

Emigh Hardware is my go to store! I love that its family owned and has such a long history with Sacramento. The customer service is generally excellent. I want to give a shout out to Austin for going the extra mile to help me with my problem, always with a friendly smile.

I shop here several times a month and I dont get service like this anywhere! Every single person I have ever come in contact with at this store has been friendly and if they cant help me find what I need or answer a question, they will find someone who can, always and every time.

This is a great store with amazing staff. Always very informative and great wealth of information. The staff has much better info than most people you will see at a big box store. They have been able to help me figure out some issues I did not have the knowledge to do myself.
