Best home improvement store in Englewood, Florida (FL) 2024

This place and the employees have been amazing! After buying a pontoon in "excellent" condition, we were referred here for their Marine Department so the necessary fixing could happen to put the not-so-excellent condition pontoon in the water . Not only have they had everything we needed for the myriad of parts and pieces required to get our unit operational and looking good, they also had very knowledgeable employees, including Gordon and others, who have been extremely helpful in pointing out all our options. Even employees in areas of the store other than Marine have been exceedingly friendly - it's a place I was happy to have available and was not embarrassed to walk in 8 times over the course of 4 days. Every time, I was able to find the piece I went there to get. How wonderful to have such a great resource in our little town! ~Joyce

I have a local hardware store closer to me than Babes but they are noticeably more expensive than Babes. I bought a Weber grill at Babes a few years ago there at a competitive price and they assembled it, the owner delivered it , and the then he walked me through the operation of it once it was on my patio. Recently needed a toilet valve and they were a couple of bucks cheaper than Amazon and the big stores and I'm willing to bet they were less costly than the hardware store around the corner from me. Plus I walked in with the old valve, within seconds an employee led me to the section and recommended a replacement part that worked perfectly. I was in and out in under 3 minutes. Also went in there at one point looking for an odd solution to a problem I had with a musical instrument frame and the gentleman I dealt with didn't talk down to me for trying to find a workaround solution and actually solved my problem. I'm going back there whenever I need something. ~Stephen
