I love this place. They always have what I need for small home repairs, and they know exactly where everything is and have recommendations for every task.

This is a great «mom and pop» hardware store. It has a great selection and the staff know where everything is. I love coming here because the staff is *so* attentive (something you never experience at places like HomeDepot).

These gentlemen are always willing to help me find the right tools for the situations I’ve brought to them, and I never feel condescended to, despite my general incompetence when it comes to home repairs. Yesterday it was a very cranky radiator which was not calming despite my attempts, but is now purring like a kitten, as am I.

Kim’s Hardware is great!
I’ve been coming for years. Whether Chicago is having historic snow storms, and you need shovels, or, if you need a simple key made, Kim’s is always there to help. The staff has been there for years too, which I always appreciate in a business.
I’ve had a variety of questions about repairs, tools, locks, cleaning chemicals, glues, clocks, sweepers, and so much more; the staff at Kim’s has always been helpful!
I’m very grateful to have them in the neighborhood.

Helpful, good selection, prices, and nice people. Every employee is looking to help anytime I’ve been in there and rarely have to spend over $ 10 getting multiple items.

Great mom and pop hardware store located right down the street from my home. Really friendly service and the owner knew exactly what I needed. I was in and out of there in less than 5 minutes and left with a smile on my face. I’ll definitely be coming back to Kim’s Hardware again.

It is closed sundays. I don’t know why it says it is open on Sundays.

Very good Mom-​n-​Pop hardware store with a surprisingly broad selection of stuff you’ll need. Prices are very fair and reflect the quality of the items.
Want 75 feet of cheap garden hose for under $ 20? Or, the same length of super quality hose that will deliver twice as much water and last 10 years for $ 50? Kim’s carries both. Same with tools: they have inexpensive Chinese tools for occasional use; medium quality for DIY; and usually a semi-​pro quality version for when you expect to use that tool again and again.
Staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and always available for questions. If you want to get what you need quickly with zero hassle, and be confident you paid a fair price, shop at Kim’s. Plus, you will be supporting a family-​run business that has contributed to Edgewater for many decades.

I love these guys. So kind, and patient while I try to explain to them the latest home project mishap I’ve gotten myself into. Have brought many things into the shop with a «I don’t know how to fix this» general question and they knew right what to do :)

I stopped by looking for a closet bar, but were out of the size I needed. However, they told me when the bar would be delivered to the store, and when I called back, it was there. At the store, the gentleman with the long ponytail helped me pick out the best size screws for the bar and gave me detailed, friendly advice on how to set it up. I greatly appreciated his excellent customer service and help.

I am not a hardcore tool guy, but I do have some mild home improvement experience. I needed some basic tools and was expecting higher prices due to this being a mom n’ pop store, but that was not the case. The tools offered were varied in price range and quality but represented a wide selection. I was able to buy: several shovels; a vise grip; a carabiner; needlenose pliers; a small wire snipper; a decent hammer AND a toolbox containing all the basics (hammer, level, allen wrench, utility knife, ETC). All of this was for 119.00. One helluva bargain.
Admittedly the stuff I bought was of lower quality, (none of it was namebrand i.e. Stanley ETC). However, it works for what I need.
The store employees were extremely friendly and helpful when needed. I will definitly be returning for further tool needs.

I love this place. I moved to Edgewater 3 years ago, and since then lived in Andersonville and Rogers Park, and I still only go to this hardware store. The workers are super nice and helpful, I really know nothing about any sort of «home improvement» things and they’ve always been insanely helpful and never made me feel stupid, haha.
I remember one time my ex and I went in just to buy a few screws and nails, we didn’t know they had the $ 5 debit/​credit policy, but the guy at the counter just gave us the stuff and was like «just remember us the next time you have any sort of hardware needs»…needless to say my ex needed to go back a few days later, for something I can’t remember, and over paid for that to make up for it
This place is great and I love the little family store atmosphere:)

I went in just to find a screwdriver that fit an unusual screw. Right when i walked in the door, a gentleman asked me if he could help and immediately found what i was looking for in seconds. Great customer service!

I love Kim’s Hardware.
I’ll always check here before going to a larger hardware to see if they have what I need. Very rarely to I have to go elsewhere. All the guys that work there are funny and nice. I get all my keys made here and probably drop in for little hardware items a couple times a month. Whenever I go I learn something new. Last time it was how to tell the difference before a 15amp and 20amp outet. (the 20amp has a little notch in it!)

Kim’s Hardware is a fantastic local business. The people are always super helpful and friendly. Somehow, even in their small space, they always have what I need. I swear that place is bigger on the inside than the outside. It is amazing to have this place within a few blocks of my home. I’ve had keys made, replaced remote controls, bought stripping for my doors, and I’m about to have some screens replaced. They can do it all.

I have to say that Kim’s Hardware is a great neighborhood place! The service is top notch, professional, courteous, knowledgeable and friendly!
Mr. Kim is still there a few days a week, ready to greet you with a smile once you walk in! His son Joon is following in his dads tradition and really keeps the place well stocked!
John has been there forever it seems like and is very helpful and knows exactly what you are looking for!
I am not sure of the other fellas name, but he too is of great assistance.
The store is clean and bright, everything is well marked and at reasonable prices.
Skip the bigger stores and help support the family owned, neighborhood hardware store, you will not be disappointed!

Impeccable service from honest people.
I went in there today looking for a couple of eyelet screws and instead of charging me, they just let me have them since it was a small charge. I came back to pay them anyway, but I figure their kind gesture deserves a kind review here.
Every time I come here, they help me immediately and are upfront if they don’t have what I need or will offer a cheaper solution if they think what I’m doing is overkill.
My only wish is that their hours were a bit better, but I understand since it’s a family business.
Always a pleasant experience coming here.

I came here looking for a suction hook for the bathroom, and the couple (I’m assuming that they’re the Kims) that run this store are really nice.
They have a lot of stuff here. I saw kitchen wares (pots, pans, kitchen utensils, jars for canning, etc.) in addition to all the hardware stuff they carry. It was pretty neat.
Pretty good for a local, family-​owned store that rivals Home Depot.
