“Excellent products and David who heads inside sales is friendly knowledgeable and helpful. If you want a step up in product quality and selection give these folks a try”
“Yes. I'm someone who's also looking for welding equipment in this area. Since I remember the time when I fixed one dumbell in my Cabrillo College R.O.P. welding class back in 1986. I even fixed my own stainless steel lunchbox and hockey sticks in my Cabrillo College R.O.P. welding class as well. It's right where cessnone house is. I'm someone who's time traveling back to when was it the best of me.”
“So much more than a hardware store. The convenience alone makes this store so great. You’ll find everything you need for hardware, tools and gardening, but also tons of cookware and other basic household items. I just wish they stayed open later!”
“Had a great experience at Ace Hardware today. Liz walked me right to exactly what I needed, no wandering around trying to find it myself. Reagan went above and beyond helping me set up my account so I could get a discount, super patient through the whole process. Jade jumped in too and helped make sure everything came together smoothly. It's rare to get that kind of attentive, friendly service all in one visit. Really appreciated the team effort. Will definitely be back!”
“Gorgeous selection of plants indoor, outdoor, veggie starts, herbs, etc. Prices were fair and everything was easy to find. Staff pretty much ignored us, which is fine because I didn't need help finding anything, but one employee was watching me struggle to maneuver my cart around an enormous garden hose that was in the middle of the store posing a tripping hazard. She didn't try to move it or help at all. So not the greatest staff in the world, but the plants! Tons of varieties of sages and California Natives. Will definitely be back.”
“Such a wonderful business - so lucky to have them in the valley! They just dropped off a load of lumber to my house and I have a really awful driveway and the guy (wish I got his name) navigated it so well! He got a little stuck but worked so so hard to get the truck out never took a break. The hardest worker I’ve ever met! I know how stressful situations like that can be and his attitude was so positive and he was great to work with! Thank you! And we will of course be back!”
“Great selection of used tools at reasonable prices. More than just tools. Lots of equipment and stuff left over from construction. Staff is wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable. If you are thinking about getting a new tool, pick one up from Drew's to see how you like it first.”
“Central home supply goes above and beyond with all aspects of their business, from helping with material advice and selection, to continued support through out the building phase. Central is there for every step of the way. Reid and the crew are knowledgeable, respectful and passionate about all things hardscape and landscape, regardless of the project size. I highly recommend working with Central Home supply! They have helped my business grow and have provided invaluable advice for my hardscape and landscape projects. Thank you Central Home supply for all that you do for the Santa Cruz community.”
“Meeting the team here, you can tell they care about their business and their customer. A friendly staff with a knowledgeable background of all the needs for building. I definitely recommend!”
“Informed and courteous staff locate items from their extensive inventory. Variety and price points are impressive. They offer expert advice for projects, and often host workshops to encourage do it yourselfer’s! One stop shop for any variety of needs! Great find!”
“This place had me in and out within 15minutes on a 60lb jackhammer. BY FAR, FAR, best rental place ever. Paperwork, breeze. Deposit small. They trust you here. Go to United or HDepot and they'll ask for fingerprints, IDs, 300 deposits..and usually take 45mins. Dont go anywhere else, family owned since 1974!!”
“Full-service electrical supplies wholesaler focused on the residential/light commercial construction and MRO contractor market. Major brands stocked include Siemens, Eaton/Cutler-Hammer, Halo, Pass & Seymour, Lutron, Juno, Klein, Milwaukee, Greenlee and Panasonic.Competitive pricing, knowledgeable counter folks, job site delivery, and terms available. Good depth and breadth of stock generally. Minimal motor control.The biggest downchecks are their parking lot which is small, tight, and often full of full-size trucks. Getting through on the phone to place orders, especially in the morning can be challenging. Their mobile app is ok... their competitors app is better”
“Gosh this place is like a breath of fresh air compared to over hardware stores. Right away I was welcomed and asked if I needed anything. You go to home depot or any other big store and there’s never any associates around to ask for help nor are they helpful but here!!! They’re awesome. Pointed me in the right direction for the wire cutter I needed and asked what I was working on to make sure I got the right thing. I was in then out in under 5 min. I’ll be taking my business here on out - Great experience! Shoutout to the dude at the register. He got me signed up with the rewards program and was super helpful the whole time.”
“Had a nice first impression. I stopped in for a contractors key-lockbox. The place was clean, staff were friendly and very helpful. I was in and out, in a matter of minutes.”
“This place has outstanding customer service! Shannon always goes above and beyond with our orders. Being a builder material quality and time is a must, this place doesn't disappoint.

Go to San Lorenzo & get amazing quality, prices and customer service.”

Recently, I received help from Ellie who’s customer service was absolutely amazing! I felt very lost finding a particular tool and she went above and beyond to help me find the best solution, all with kindness and patience. Thank you Ellie! :)”
“I highly recommend San Lorenzo Lumber – Felton to anyone looking for a company who offers quality top brand materials for building needs! Specifically, I contacted the Felton San Lorenzo Lumber store for guidance and tips for my new rebuild after losing my home to the 2020 CZU Lightning Fire. And, upon contacting this specific store, I was introduced to Shannyn “Shay” Moore…such a beautiful and kind spirit! Shay has literally held my hand through the process of finding the right decking and handrail materials. What I can honestly say about Shay is that I love her positive attitude…she is not only no-nonsense, but she has a undeniable knack for knowing how to meet your needs without added stress and anxiety. The ideas, guidance, and tips that she provided me has been exceptional! Shay really goes the extra mile! And, by the way, the Felton San Lorenzo Lumber store will deliver your materials and products! You will be lucky to have “Tim” deliver your materials/products; he is so personable, kind, knowledgeable, and friendly – which made this so overwhelming rebuild process so much less stressful. Happily, I can say that this entire process resulted in receiving the personal attention that I have so much appreciated and required! Thank you, Felton San Lorenzo Lumber…Keep up the excellent customer service and provision of quality materials and products!!! So grateful!”
“TRUCK DRIVERS !!! TRUCK DRIVERS !!! TRUCK DRIVERS !!! Drive south on 41st Ave turn right on Brommer St in about half mile turn left on Thompson Ave. Open wide at entrance. Enough room to turn around inside their facility. Staff respectful & quick.”
“This is about the Soquel Home Depot. I was looking for a Milwaukee drill that was on sale. The internet was showing three in stock at that price.The problem was that Home Depot has all this inventor spread out in multiple locations so you cannot find anything. Two home depot representatives spent at least 30-45 minutes trying to help me find one of those drills. Sure enough they did and were successful. This is a five star review, thanks to those that helped me. As for the store, management needs to do better in indicating where store inventory is located. Add RFID tags if needed to pinpoint the location within the store so customers/employees don't have to waste 45 minutes looking.”
“I think Home Depot has a lot of of really good items for a great price. The online store is where to go to find anything you found somewhere else but usually at a lower price. I saw beautiful custom tile for my showers online in a boutique store from New York City. To my surprise the exact same tile I found on line at Home Depot for 15% less. I received it via home delivery within a week.”
“Visiting from out of town. This site was neat and well stocked. Found my item, with a little help from one of the workers, and was out in under 10 minutes. Thanks for the help!”
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.
