We have shopped at E.L. Spear for years, and always go there first whenever we need anything in house- and hardware. The inventory is excellent, ditto the prices, and the staff is marvelous - knowledgeable and helpful, full of really good advice. We listen to them, as they are not there just to make a quick sale but to help you. A true local treasure!

Living in a small coastal town, we don't have a lot of options in terms of vendors and its easy to get used to going to one of the "big box" stores to get a bargain. But, I've found E.L. Spear is competitive in pricing and far superior in service, offering personalized, knowledgeable service (AND by a person who is actually familiar with the product!)
