I was just there today and I was excited to do my DIY on my screens. I just want to replace the screens and do it my self, but order the frames but just replace the nylon screens. I got my measurements and wanted do the screen section. I did not wait for long. And I was helped by this man and I told him what I was doing. He started by saying first of all you got to get the measurements, and I pulled out my papers and excitedly told him I have it. He seemed upset that I interrupted him and gave me eye roll. His attitude was like I am bothering him and do not want to be there. I felt that I was bothering him and if I don’t have all what he need,, it will be a lot of work. Come on Man!!! Your signs says, “come in for a friend my kamaaina service”. I did not get that, I am in sales and I am always happy to assist and welcome someone whether they are buying or need service. With the climate of business now, you guys should be happy we support our local businesses and you should be more welcoming and less attitude! I ended up driving cross town to City Mill Nimitz and get wha I need there.

I stopped in to pick up a light fixture and was surprised at how big the place is on the inside! It’s much more spacious than it looks from the street. Unlike the overwhelming big box stores, this location isn't as densely packed, making it pretty easy to find exactly the part I needed. They have an impressive selection of everything from lumber and tools to electrical supplies and even furniture. The staff was knowledgable and very helpful. It's a great local spot for home improvement!

This Hardware store has been in the neighborhood since I was a young girl, providing for the people in this area with a variety of all sorts of items for a business or home. City Mill can be seen from the street im all directions with their own parking area for the steady flow of customers throughout the day. Not only can you shop in store but they offer store pickup when order online. Clean, neat and organized with various signs to lead you to an item. Friendly staff around the store willing to assist if in need. Public restrooms available in their outdoor area where you find garden/yard items, lumber and even a customize station for window screens to be made. You will also find a cashier located just as you enter/exit this area. Small plant section where recently one of the only Native Hawaiian Plant Nursery provides various native plants to purchase. I do periodically shop at this neighborhood hardware store once a month for convenience but most times your able to find most anything you looking for. Ever in the area and in need of a tool or something keep this neighborhood hardware store in mind.

Helpful service, if you can find an available employee, and motivating selection of home-repair and garden products. They cut jalousies / glass for windows. Reasonably priced. Very thankful that this home-improvement shop has a large selection of organic and locally sourced seeds (from Fukuda Seed Store & Aina Ola Seed), including for many Japanese & Chinese vegetables.

Great neighbourhood spot. The store is well organized and clean, employees are helpful. They not only carry standard hardware store items, but home decor and organizational items as well. I’m disappointed (in myself) that I didn’t come here and instead bounced between the big box stores looking for basic house goods (brooms, cleaning supplies, welcome mat, etc.) as they have it all, and at decent prices too. A large selection of SimpleHuman items priced the same (or just $1 more) than Amazon. Over the door hangers, waste bins, soap pumps, and every oxo brand kitchen item. In addition, they also carry furniture at very affordable prices. Their garden center was well stocked. I picked up perlite, peat and sphagnum mix, seed starter kit, and a few misc seed packets. As others have mentioned, if you want something in particular, you can call ahead. Highly recommend if you’re new to the neighbourhood and need to stock up without dealing with the bustle around Ala Moana. Always great to support a local business. Mahalo City Mill.
