They have a little bit of everything. It's closer than Lowe's or Ace and I can normally find anything I need. The staff is friendly and I like to wonder around browsing the store.

This is the best home/hardware store I've ever been to. Honestly.

Every single member of the staff is wildly helpful. They're so knowledgeable about so much. I come here a lot since we just bought our home and it needs some work. Anytime I'm in there, I can easily find someone who knows just how to help.

If you need anything for your home, this is the place to go.

For large projects, go elsewhere. We did a major house renovation and addition a few years back and our contractor used Capps for most/all of his building supplies, so recommended them for cabinetry and windows/doors, etc. We contacted a few other places about cabinets, but the response was slow, so we went with Capps. First of all, the communication with employees at Capps is sometimes a nightmare. The guy that was initially in charge of our windows and doors (John) was nearly impossible to get in touch with for questions, so we eventually had to rely on another woman to finish our door order

Capps is an awesome store. It has a little bit of everything. You can get gardening supplies, while trying on cool dock shoes. The employees are friendly.

You can get your keys copied while you look at expensive Yeti cups and coolers.

There is a little bit of something for everyone at this store.

Super helpful staff - Rolf is the man! And the rest of the staff are great as well. Selection is excellent, but understand they aren't as big as a Lowes or Home Depot, but I can get 96% of what I need there. Prices do vary a bit - Most things are priced in line with the convenience and service you get. My only real criticism is I wish they had longer hours!

These folks are the best! Whatever you need, just ask and they will walk you right to the item. If they don't have it, they'll suggest a place you can find it.

They're always friendly and I have never had an issue there at all. Highly recommended.
