Frentz Hardware still has wood floors with a little bounce to them, and a wall of windows facing Main Street. The aisles are stuffed with tools and parts that are often difficult to find, and once found, you still might not know exactly what to do with them. 

At Frentz, they’ll walk you through the project you’re working on. They’ll tell you what you do and don’t need and spell out the right way to do it. If one of the Frentz brothers can’t help you because they don’t have what you’re looking for, or honestly don’t know how to tackle the job, they’ll steer you to someplace that does. “We have an extensive list of stores with maps to give to customers when they need to find something we don’t have,” Mike says. “We’ll even explain what to ask for when they go to another store for something we don’t have.”
