Christophers Glen Echo Hardware

I would always go to my local hardware store before going to the big retailers. At Christopher Glen Echo you are going to get an excellent personal service and they'll go the extra mile to help you find what you are looking for a a solution with an alternative.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Although it is much smaller than big corporations like Home Depot and Lowes, you can find the majority of what you may need for your DIY projects. The prices are of course higher than those big hardware stores. The parking onsite is very easy.

we had a big gang of people who bought all of their lighters, we went there 3 times in one day. they also gave us a discount because we had good bargaining skills

My dad and I were just discussing great hardware stores and we were talking about Glen Echo Hardware and what a fantastic store it is. I said, "I hope they survived covid." I checked Google and was happy to see that they're still there. Living in The Palisades in DC, this was always my go-to for all things hardware. The staff could always answer my questions and help me out.When my dad was in town, we inevitably would end up making a trip there for something. I think my dad just liked going there because it reminds him of good old fashioned hardware stores. Great place!!!

I've been a longtime customer of Christopher's Glen Echo Hardware. It's a wonderful store. Their selection is good, and staff members are knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.

I usually deal with Kevin in the paint department. Kevin is exceptionally good-natured and helpful with customers. He makes it fun to go to the hardware store.

Kevin has matched other paint brands' colors perfectly for me in Benjamin Moore. He has helped me choose colors, type of paint, brushes and tools. He has saved me time by just telling me what I need to buy--no fuss, no sales pitch.

Of all the paint projects I've done, Kevin has never steered me wrong.

Frank and Brian are also excellent in the paint department. Frank's advice and color matching helped me dig out of a paint disaster once.
And Brian dreamt up a Benjamin Moore water-based match for another brand's oil-based paint. It worked perfectly.

Steve has cut lumber for me, and once delivered a grill for me on his own time.

Names I haven't mentioned here are because I cannot remember them right now. But the staff at Glen Echo Hardware is outstanding. I love going in there.
