They are amazing. They are awesome. I haven't used them for about 6 months. The staff is extremely knowledgeable. If you bring in a picture, or you go in and talk to them, they'll tell you exactly what was going on, I'm not kidding you, they saved me so much money. They will rent you the tools you need, tell you how to get you're job done on your own. You know plumbing, people don't like to do plumbing, but I've learned how to do all kinds of stuff on my own. I recommend them to people all the time.

Went in to buy an extractor to remove broken shower head part from pipe in the wall. The counter lady offered my free usage of a tool you hammer into the pipe so it can grab the piece, then you turn it with a wrench. I was dubious, but it required only a deposit so I took it home and tried it. Piece came out with little effort allowing me to install new shower head. Kudos for knowing what would work and having it available.
Description of Work: Provided free tool usage.

Description of Work: They rebuilt a shower faucet which saved us from tearing the wall out to replace it. This is not the first time Palmer's has saved the day. If you have an old house that has old plumbing and you can't find parts, take it to Palmer's. Most of the time if they don't have the part, they will make something that will work. I have been going there for probably 40 years and am always pleased with the knowledge and service.

I go there monthly. They have every old school weirdo plumbing part known to man. Home Depot and Lowes recommends them. If you have some hundred year old house and you have a plumbing problem Home Depot just carries Delta, Moen, the big names of stuff that is now and current, you try to repair something that is old school they will send you to Palmer. They have the old stuff. They are the best, they are outstanding. If it;'s old and it's plumbing, you got to go there. If I run into an old house or an old plaza and have an old plumbing problem all I have to do is cut out the old part or disassemble the old parts go into the back room or get it on line and ship it in and there it is. Perfect fit.
Description of Work: Palmer's Hardware I purchase plumbing parts there.

Excellent. Nothing more needs to be said.
Description of Work: I needed Cray hot and cold shower stems. And had no clue what my stems were called or how to properly install them. Further I needed seats and didn't know it. They helped me identify and purchase exactly what I needed and gave me instructions and the proper tool to install with. You absolutely 100% cannot go wrong when talking about plumbing at Palmers.

Very nice experience. We had problems with water valves in bathtub and shower. We would replace washers and 2 weeks later, they needed replacing again, because they leaked badly. We took the parts to Palmer's and asked if they had replacements (1950's hardware). The salesperson told us that the washers kept getting chewed up, because the seat needed to be polished. They polished what needed it and sold us what was worn out. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We were able to avoid having to hire a plumber, and haven't had to do anymore plumbing work, and it has been several months now. Nobody at Lowe's knew plumbing hardware like Palmer's. All plumbing supplies will now be purchased there, because it will allow us to do the work ourselves. Our neighbor suggested Palmer's, and said that they actually came out to his house and told him what his problem was (also 1950's plumbing hardware). Such willingness to help is rare in many retail settings anymore.
Description of Work: We did the work ourselves, bought the plumbing hardware at Palmer's.

This place has excellent customer service! You are waited on by the owner, his adult daughter (who is just as knowledgeable), or other employees who are extremely talented and eager to help out. It's like a old fashioned hardware store in service and atmosphere.
Description of Work: I needed hardware to fix the leg supports on an antique dining room table and fix a facet handle. The hardware needed for the table was not available, but they offered to make me what I needed at a nearby machine shop for only $5. Although the facet handle could not be repaired, they had a large assortment of antique handles in a bin and I was able to find one that matched. They sold this to me for $30. Palmer's is well know for loaning people tools if needed to do a job and will coach everyone through a "do-it-yourself" project. For example, I tried to fix a leaky faucet and ran into problems. They loaned me the tools and walked me through every step in the process.
