Been there a few times in the last month...always willing to help and cheap. Honestly, I was repainting a room/taking up carpet and went to Home Depot, etc. Medford Hardware was cheaper than the larger stores, had a clerk who answered my numerous questions and is local. The only thing I used Home Depot for was the wallpaper steamer/remover which was slightly cheaper.
Not affiliated with Medford Hardware. I was just pleasantly surprised by it.
Gee - nice. The local guys answer all your questions, help you out, and you go buy the wallpaper steamer at Home Depot.
Wonder why all the small stores are going out.....
