“A huge selection of items which covers just about anything a homeowner needs. A friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff is always available to help. Skip the big box stores and come check it out.”
“Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Well maintained. I can always find what I need here. Prices are a little high, but your paying for the convenience of it being local and quick.”
“We are a Design & Construction company and always send our customers to George's Kitchen and Bath for their plumbing fixtures. Beth is always very helpful and knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.”
“Local mom and Pop business that always gives the best service. The hardware store is excellent, and the art store is even better. The people that work there are incredibly helpful and they have everything you can think of… Keep the silver in Silverlake.🤙🏽”
“Frankly the best hardware store I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. They have EVERYTHING. Fans, leaf blowers, garden soil, fruit pickers, massive assortment of shovels and hoes, shelving, toilets, bidets, the biggest selection of screws and fasteners I have ever seen, and FROZEN RHUBARB PIES? I've never seen a store like this. Employees are incredibly helpful as well”
“This place is great - the staff are very helpful and they have a wide selection of items. Always helpful when I've had questions. They don't always have *exactly* what I'm looking for, but they can usually offer alternatives, order the item to the store, or can point me in the direction of another store that would have it.”
“Eagle Tools is my “go-to” vendor for professional woodworking tools. I’ve have been going there for years and I’m constantly impressed with their quality, selection and service. The staff is outstanding! John and Greg are always ready to answer questions and assist with sales. Gabe runs the show and is following beautiful in his founding father’s (Jessie) footsteps. The store is extensive and masterfully organized. They are customer centric and regularly provide demo days and interactive product training. I give my highest recommendation and feel confident that any avid woodworker will delight in a visit to this awesome establishment.”
“I love little neighborhood hardware stores! Convenient off street parking in the rear. The associates are friendly and helpful. Ill be giving them my business when im in the area for sure! Thanks guys! 😎”
“I love going to this Harbor Freight. Great staff and awesome selection of tools. They have lots of stuff I don't find at other hardware/tool stores at good prices.”
“I called ahead to make sure they had what needed & they did. So I tell them ill be there shortly and so when I get there they already were waiting on me. So I pay and then one of the girls has a dolly with what bough. I get to my truck it and she tried but just wasnt able to lift it so I stepped in like the gentleman I am & did it for her and for that reason I give it 5 stars cuz other stores with mostly men working there won't even ask if you need assistance loading and this place didnt ask just did it. Thank you for the great customer service Harbor Frieght Glassell Park,CA...”
“MISSION West K & B (est 2005) is an opulent one-stop-shop kitchen and bath shop. It is a family owned and operated business located in South Pasadena. They supply customers with all of their plumbing, lighting, hardware, counter top and custom cabinetry. Their showroom emits class and elegance as evidence by the unique-creative designs of their products. I was on the market of upgrading my kitchen and bathroom and they seem to have the stuff that I might need. I have looked all over Pasadena and they are on the top of my list. Parking is abundant along Mission street. Overall, it’s a great kitchen and bathroom store.”
“I cannot thank all the staff in the Durante store enough!! Super friendly and they went above and beyond to help me with 1) finding tools that I wanted and 2) helping with boxing up large clamps for me to take home to Brisbane, Australia. Huge shout out and thank you to Carole, Tyler and (I’m so sorry - I didn’t get your name), Holden HSV-guy!! You guys were exceptional!!!!”
“I prefer local neighborhood Hardware stores over big box stores. Grants Hardware is a great place to shop. They have a wide variety of items and most of all they have great customer service.”
“About 10 years ago I purchased 2 6' double sided step ladders. The price was fantastic and the quality was even better. This last winter I left my Werner 28' extension ladders outside of an A frame house in the mountains. When I got there in the late spring after the snow melt, I found that the weight had crushed them enough that there were cracks in the fiberglass at each rung making them unsafe. I knew where I wanted to buy my new ladders but being from Washington State makes it tough to just go get them. But I do travel down there so I waited until the next trip. I checked prices from the big warehouse companies(not sure if I can mention Dome Hepot or Slowe's) before I went there but because of the quality of my step ladders I felt very good about making the purchase regardless. I had the pleasure of meeting Brad who spent way more time with me than I expected. He was extremely knowledgeable and just as friendly. In the end I purchased 3 ladders that day and came back for a 4th on my way back north. Even with CA 10.75 sales tax the ladders were cheaper than the big places. That includes Oregon which doesn't have sales tax. I would have been ok paying more because you usually do for better quality. But I saved over 15% total buy shopping there! A fantastic group of very nice people with a product of the highest quality. I'll be looking forward to seeing them again on my next trip through. Darrin Jackson”
“i really enjoy stopping by every now and then to browse the collection of tools, homeware, and kitchenware and to have a nice chat with the staff here! admittedly, i used to assume that they only had hardware tools so i didn't think i'd find something i needed until i stopped by on a whim one day after dining at Azay next door. i ended up buying some nice chopsticks and my friend bought a pickling container which we had coincidentally had a conversation about right before. i bought more random yet useful kitchen and cleaning tools the next time i went. goes to show how you can always find something you need or can be useful here! i sometimes get sad and feel nostalgic for small speciality stores ran by local families, so i'm really glad that there's a store like Anzen Hardware around and thriving! definitely will get a knife from here soon too”
“Jim the owner and his employees are very attentive and knowledgeable. Local businesses like this hardware store are a vital part of the El Sereno community.FYI, they close at 3 on Sunday, not 2.”
“Great place to grab material very professional quick Service. They have many thing on hand. Highly recommend if you working in the Pasadena Altadena area or nearby”
“This place is great, they have all the small parts and most importantly, they are respectful to women. It has the feel of an old-fashioned hardware store and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. I deeply appreciate as a woman, when I can walk into a store like this and I'm treated with equal respect. They always answer my questions, are very helpful, and they don't discount my extensive knowledge just because I'm a blonde female. Thank you for being awesome guys!”
“Super convenient, well stocked, helpful service from a wonderful local hardware store. I had a leaky shower valve to fix and the kind lady helped me step through the items that I needed to complete the repair. Fortunately the store is not far away, so going back and forth to the store while diagnosing the issue wasn't an issue. A HUGE plus for this local gem of a hardware store. The parts and tools I purchased were of good value and made in Taiwan. Fixing the leaky shower was made much easier by this store. If one is close by, I recommend stopping here first to find parts and small supplies for your DIY repair.”
“Good service I go get my supplies and especially get my personal tank for welding filled I was in south central doing a job ran out of gas couldn't find any freaking place to fill my tank had to go back home to El monte to my spot mobile express....but yea cool spot”
“I needed a sliding gate motor for a commercial property and after much research decided on getting the Calimet motor, which is based out of Los Angeles county and has made in America motors. I spoke with Denise who was extremely helpful from initial product selection, to configuration of the system, to checking the design with engineering and availability over her cell to answer any questions and procure additional parts I needed. I recommend these guys for all your gate motor needs. I found out they also carry all the wrought iron gate parts too. I recommend the store and their products.”
“I went to this location with little expectation of getting my questions answered because I was certain I had irreversibly messed up my apartment walls by retouching spots with the wrong kind of paint. I had the right color, but was using an egg shell paint on a flat painted surface...which I didn't notice until I had retouched the entire townhouse before realizing that it was drying with a shine instead of flat. I had covered all our walls with these shiny spots and it looked horrible. At this Dunn-Edwards location, I was helped by Stephen, who was so patient and supportive in guiding me through how to potentially correct my mistakes. He was kind, informative, and eager to get the right match. And he was 100% right in his suggestions. It worked beautifully and my horrible amateur painter mistakes were corrected! I'm so very grateful for his help!”
“This is a family business with some really great people working for it. My wife had a very nice experience talking with Victor and his dad, Tony. Francisco just delivered our 300 cinder blocks and rebar - that guy was special too. It's nice when we can do business fairly with a vendor AND have that human connection that leaves us feeling better about the world. Good people. Excellent family business!”
“In the late afternoon, I found myself needing a specific plumbing part for the main bathroom en suite I was cleaning out, so I headed over to Garvanza Hardware. A staff member quickly understood what I was describing and came back with exactly what I needed. The service was efficient and straightforward. I was in and out in no time and able to finish my project that same day. Really appreciate the knowledgeable help. I’ll definitely be back for future home repair needs.”
“Thanks goes out to Emmanuel he seems to be the only one who knows where everything's at and is great with his customer service went in looking for something and found exactly what I needed things to him”
“Great store if you're in the drywall business and need a good selection of supplies and tools, I was able to get the Drywall Taping & Finishing Set that I needed at a fair price at this store, people there are knowledgeable and provide helpful insights on different pricing and discounts you can get, will be coming back”
“An abundant inventory of hardscape material. I was looking specifically for stepping stones & ideas, which are limited at your local Home Depot’s or Lowe’s. I was greeted & helped upon arrival. Being a senior woman needing assistance I very much appreciated their wonderful customer service. Thank you.”
“Marcus in the lumber department at Pasadena Ganahl Lumber provided truly outstanding service. He was courteous, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to helping—checking inventory, helping track down additional materials, and even proactively following up with me later in the week. That kind of care and professionalism makes a real difference. Marcus is a terrific representative of the store, and his approach makes me want to shop at Ganahl more often. I hope management recognizes what an asset he is to the team.”
“I had a great experience at Airgas Store in Glendale. The store has a wide selection of welding and safety products, and everything is well organized. I especially want to mention Rom Khechumyan — very professional, polite, and respectful. He always treats customers with care and takes time to help. Parking is always easy and convenient, which makes the visit even better. Highly recommend this store for anyone looking for welding supplies.”
“Baller Hardware has been my go to hardware store and plant shop since they opened in HLP a few years ago. Staff is always super friendly and helpful + prices are great. Parking is available in the back lot. I really want to emphasize that the indoor and outdoor plant shop here is truly outstanding. The owners consistently have the best selection of plants for amazing prices (they even offer pretty frequent plant sales with significant discounts). My wife and I have filled our yard and house with Baller plants and they all are super happy, healthy, and beautiful. Special shout out to Keith who works in the plant department and is always very friendly, happy, knowledgeable, and helpful. He’s there almost every time we visit and he’s given us great advice on keeping our plants healthy and he even pots our plants very nicely for us when we purchase a plant + pot together (pictured). Thank you, Keith! And Ballers!”
Lowe's is giving its loyalty program a makeover to better serve small and mid-sized professional contractors. The home improvement retailer has changed its MVPs Pro Rewards & Partnership Program into the new MyLowe's Pro Rewards. The updated program aims to make life easier for professionals while offering more benefits from their first purchase.
Ace Hardware is reimagining itself with a new store concept. The home improvement retailer plans to invest over $1 billion in the next five years to roll out "Elevate Ace" across new and existing locations. The revamped stores will feature brand showrooms, expanded product lines, and enhanced customer service. Some locations will even boast outdoor spaces with live plant displays. Ace gave retailers a sneak peek at the concept during its recent Chicago convention. While a few stores will debut the new look later this year, the full rollout begins in January.
Ace Hardware is hammering out an impressive growth story. The retailer-owned cooperative is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a bang, reaching 5,000 U.S. stores and planning to open 200 new locations in 2024. The company hit a milestone when it opened its 100th new store this year in Henderson, Nevada. Another newcomer, Fixit Ace Hardware in Roswell, Georgia, became the 5,000th domestic Ace store.
In the latest move of its growth plan, leading paint maker Dunn-Edwards just opened 17 new retail locations throughout Northern California. This expansion of physical stores boosts the company's footprint in the region by over 50%.
The expansion caps an exciting time for the nearly 100-year-old company. With its 100th anniversary in 2025, Dunn-Edwards is strengthening its market position through planned growth focused on better serving pros, homeowners and employees.
