“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.”
“George’ Showroom was a delight to visit. Beth completely understood that we wanted to create a bathroom that our 1924 home would like. And the fixtures she pointed us to are going to fit in perfectly! She couldn’t have made the process more pleasant, managing our selection from thinking stage, through order and delivery, with patience and professionalism. Great job, Beth. Thank you!”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Really like this place, it has pretty much everything I need, and the staff is super helpful. They actually take the time to help you find stuff. Way better than big stores. The guy helped me buy the concrete and cement materials I needed.”
“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 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...”
“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.

“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 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!!!!”
“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.”
“The best company to work with, they have the best prices and experience, they are so friendly and helpful, they treat you like family, cant recommend them enough, im serious 10/10 service.”
“This location is clean & bright & staff is super helpful. Ace has more rare items where the 'orange' big stores don't carry.
Got all my shopping list done in 1 trip !”
“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.”
“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.”

“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 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”

“A real lumber yard..
Have been going here for 67 years since I was a kid.....
Originally was a terminus for the old Pacific Red Car.....tracks were still in the ground when I was a kid....turns out that they never removed them, just paved over them...”
“I never knew this metal shop was here. I came with a friend to pick up some parts for his sliding gate at home. Most of the items I saw for sale were straight bars and not so many ornamental decorative pieces.”
“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.”
“This place gives you immediate solutions from small pieces of iron, holes and cuts for your metal, to everything you need in tools and materials to do your work, I recommend it to everyone”

“I found Prime Electric in search of material that was unavailable at nearby big-box stores and electric suppliers. I'm glad I called because not only did they have the material available, but they had an abundance in stock. Christian assisted me on the phone and had my order ready by the time we ended the call. When I arrived he greeted me with my order ready at the register for a fast transaction and gave me his business card for any future needs. Since then, I have become a regular and every time I go in, he and his team are always friendly and helpful. Christian also routinely checks in via-text to see if we need anything for that particular day. As a general contractor, I appreciate the great prices, inventory, location, and especially their exceptional customer service.Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Highly recommend this hardware store, the employees actually are knowledgeable and want to help you get what you need and be on your way. I got custom wood work done and a new screen. Great spot!”
“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.”
