Good Day

Our store now offers fluorescent light bulb recycling. Bring in your burnt out bulbs and we’ll make sure they don’t end up in the land fill. We accept both compact (CFL) and tube type fluorescent bulbs.

We also accept rechargeable batteries. These include cell phone, camera, power tool, and lap top batteries.

Another service we offer is UPS shipping. If you have packages with a prepaid label just drop it off and we’ll be sure the UPS driver gets it. These labels will have either “RS” or “ARS” printed on them. Or if you need an item shipped, put in a sturdy cardboard box, tape it up, and bring it on in. We’ll generate the address label and ship it out. UPS picks up from our store Monday thru Friday usually around 4 p.m. We will accept packages at anytime during our store hours though.

We are THE SERVICE PLACE. Stop in and see.

Waiting to serve you!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! My resolution is to do a better job at keeping this blog more current! I will also be trying to give everyone advanced notice of upcoming specials and also post some web-only specials.

I often get asked about the challenges of competing with Wal-Mart, Menards, and other large merchants. It’s a huge challenge and it’s something I think about and deal with on a daily basis. I think what it comes down to is service. Sure the staff is friendly at those places, but do they offer you service?

Our business is based on helping you to maintain and improve things in and around your home. We do that by asking questions and helping you decide what the best options are for you to do that. It may be selling you a new kitchen faucet or just explaining to you how to fix your old one. Our staff is made up of professionals with the knowledge to recommend and explain what products may best fill your needs. This saves you money. We do our best to be sure you have everything you need to complete your project, thus saving you time.

It is our hope that you may find value in our service and choose to patronize our business to help us compete with the marts and boxes out there.

Here is something special just for reading my blog. Print this page and bring it to the store and receive a 20% discount on a bag of water softener salt. Just about every home has a water softener; and it uses salt. So come in and save a couple bucks. Oh… and we’ll even carry it out to your car for you.

It’s good to be here.

Be ready for winter!

We have enjoyed some very nice weather so far this fall! Many of you have taken advantage of that and have gotten some outdoor projects done. Now that the temperature is cooling off it’s time to weather proof your home for the winter.

Our staff can help you find the things you need to winterize your home, saving you money on your heat bill and making your home more comfortable this winter. Window film kits offer insulation and will help stop drafty air leaks. Also, when installed correctly, they offer a crystal clear view through the window. You should also consider an automatic set back thermostat. This will enable you to turn the heat down at night and also while you're at work. You can also use caulk or expanding foam to plug holes where drafts may come in. And don’t forget to check the weather strip around your doors.

We’ve got snow shovels and ice melt now in stock. We also have roof rakes and snow blowers. While you’re here, check out the Snow Blower glove, one of the best outdoor work gloves I have seen. We also carry Yaktrax. These slip onto the bottom of your shoes or boots and help to prevent slipping on snow or ice. Yaktrax make a great Christmas gift!

Be ready for winter! The staff at Goyer Ace is here to help!

Where did summer go? It seems like it was just July 4th and now we're looking at Labor Day. I would like to get in some more golf and put a few more miles on my motorcycle before the weather turns cool.

Mid September is the time to put down the last application of lawn fertilizer. Fertilizing in the fall will help your lawn green up faster in the spring. Fall is also a good time to aerate or over seed your lawn.

It's not too late to seal your blacktop driveway. The temperature needs to be 65 or above with no rain for 36 hours. It's also a good time to wash your windows so you don't have to look out of dirty windows all winter.

Joyce, our paint manager just informed me that the fall Pottery Barn color books have arrived. Stop in the store and pick one up for free.

Time for Weed and Feed!

It’s not too late to achieve a lush green lawn this summer! Right now is the time to apply weed and feed and timing is everything when it comes to application. For best results weed and feed should be applied to a damp lawn at least 1 day after mowing when there is no rain in the forecast for 48 hours.

The key points are 1) Damp lawn and 2) No rain for at least 24 hours after application. No matter when you apply you will still get the benefit of the fertilizer. An alternative for killing just the weeds is a spot treatment or a whole lawn treatment with a lawn weed killer like Ortho Weed-B Gon.

Some other tips to help achieve a healthy lawn include; when mowing try not to cut more than 1”or 1/3 the length of your lawn, if you have clippings lying on top of the lawn when you’re done mowing make sure to rake them off, do not water after 5 o’clock and don’t water in the heat of the day. Follow these tips and your lawn will look great in no time!

Stop by and talk to any of our helpful staff about ways to make your lawn look great.
