Pedro's been here twenty-two years. Dale knows every paint code in the building. Marisol grows what she sells. Stop in any store; we'll find the part, walk you through the project, and sharpen the knives while you wait.

FROM THE HOLLOWAYS
"We sell what we use ourselves. We carry the parts the big-box stores skip. We answer the phone — usually within two rings — and we still sharpen knives by hand on Saturday mornings."
— Margaret Holloway-Lee · third generation · current owner

What we do
beyond product.
The reasons people skip the drive to Lowe's. Some have been on the price-list since 1968 (knife sharpening); some are newer (smart-switch programming). All happen at the bench, not online.
Paint matching
Bring a chip, fabric, photo, or swatch — we'll match it on the bench. 5 minutes per gallon, weekdays faster than Saturdays.
Key cutting + re-keying
Most key types. Re-keying houses + commercial. Lockouts: we connect you to a local locksmith — we don't do them ourselves.
Equipment rental
Pressure washers, paint sprayers, scaffolding, ladders. Daily + weekend rates. Phone ahead in busy seasons.
Local delivery
$15 within 5 mi · $25 within 10 mi · $35 within 15 mi. Heavy items + lumber + landscape supply. Same-day or next-day.
Project consult — free
Bring your project, get our advice. Usually 15 — 30 minutes. Customers often save more than the big-box price difference.
