“A very well-stocked hardware store. And, if they don’t have it, just ask. They might very well be able to order it for you!
Oh, and they are dog-friendly;-)”
“Came in for a kitchen knife, they were super helpful and showed me everything in my price range and explained pros/cons of each one. Definitely great customer service and will 100% be coming back”
“When you need tools and accessories to get the job done and your NOT a tools snob H.F is and has been the go to spot for weekend mechanics, do it your selfers & those you just want a great deal. Great helpful staff round out the many reasons to shop here.”
“Wonderful neighborhood Ace. They have pretty much everything to save you in a pinch and also a lot of the day to day needs as well. Also their open hours are much better than the other local Ace hardware stores.”
“I made 3 keys at Home Depot, but don’t work. Cole hardware stuff found it issue, and made a key works.The original key is little bent , they can help made a copy key even the original is bent !”
“I appreciate this place :). OSH is old school and much more pleasant experience than other big hardware stores. They have all the basic. More specialized things might call for other stores but this is my go-to whenever possible.
Finding someone to help isn't always the easiest but it's likely because they are helping someone else.
I always get great support and friendly people.
Philip Rogers was working temporarily at the Ashby store from his normal Moraga location... And he was awesome. We tracked down exactly what I needed and had a great conversation to top it off about the history of sound recording for movies and music in Emeryville/Berkeley and some of the trailblazers in the area (which he is one of).
Thanks OSH. Headed back now for something I'm gonna guess and hope you have!”
“Very helpful staff and an amazing variety of items to choose from at decent prices. I was very impressed at how much time the employees took to help me find exactly what I needed for the job I was planning to do”
“Unexpectedly broad inventory of products and great selection within categories they carry. They have everything a handyman needs at a competitive price with far less chaos than lowes/home depot.”
“The only lumber yard where they help you load up most of the time. And help you pick through for the good stuff. We go out of our way to go here. And everyone likes their jobs there. That says a lot to me about management.”
“Multiple sizes of o rings saved me a lot of time and money - an easy fix for a leak in a Hans Grohe pull down kitchen faucet that just needed a new o-ring ! The best $3 I've ever spent.”
“Francis Combes was my agent for a large and successful backyard building project this year. He is knowledgeable, efficient, good humored and has been very attentive throughout the project. My orders and billing were handled promptly and with refreshing courtesy. Pricing is fair and favorable. Francis usually had recommendations to help me narrow things down. He valued my time and attention. I appreciated the very full showroom with many products and displays to inspire me. I've been an Ashby customer for decades, and will continue to be one!”
“I'm in the implementation phase of a project that started over a year ago. Angelique has been exceptional to work with as we researched new fire resilient materials to work with in landscapes. She is incredibly responsive, thorough, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Really appreciate her patience through our research process, and her follow-up even after delivery! Ashby is lucky to have her on their team.”
“A real, old style hardware store, where the staff knows everything about their products! Huge selection of screws, nuts, bolts and other hardware, and all the basics for home and yard.”

“Over the years I've learned to skip searching all the hardware stores for the obscure bolts and fasteners and just go straight to Bowlin, because more often than not they have just what I'm looking for. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend Bowlin”
“It was great like ive come to expect, thanks Ace! I own a Handyman business that takes me all around the bay area, Ace has e verything but every town has an Ace Hardware store! Thanks Ace , your the place!

“Great customer service and knowledgeable floor staff. Owner is dismissive and never acknowledges customers which I find rude. Though as stated the staff are wonderful especially Joseph and Robert.”
“Really nice folks, great service and good prices. The guys in the yard really went out of their way to make our experience seamless and the counter staff were just as nice.”

“Orinda hardware is a flashback to an old school hardware store with people working there that actually know what they are doing. It is not huge, but it will have most of what you need, and great personal attention.”

“We recently purchased an acrylic panel for our living room skylight. The staff at TAP Plastics provided excellent service on the selection of a cost effective material, In addition, the staff helped us size and adjust the large sheet dimensions to obtain a perfect fit. Awesome!”
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Alcopoco Rock and Soil in Richmond, and I couldn’t be more impressed! This family-run business truly stands out for its exceptional customer service and the hard work and dedication they put into everything they do. I highly recommend to anyone in the area—it's a gem of a place, and I’ll definitely be back!”
“Excellent service great people.little.pricey but good at first both guys in front counter seemed bothered by the. Questions I was asking as if km supposed to.know everything about the store and items they sale can see how if I'm was not a contractor this would not be the place I want to visit not supper nice even a little.rude at first richard came to help after the first guy look frustrated about my.questions all I wanted was to know about some colors for concrete most places have it by name but here that are sorted by number so I didn't know this Richard took more time.to.explain to me the difference and prices and such ended up spending over 300 dollars in tools and stuff... again not very friendly but ok place to buy I saw some regulars came in and the guy was kicking around with them and stuff I think he just doesn't like to.deal with people that has questions which sucks because that's why you should go to a place that specializes in stuff like this”
“The sweet lady with the glasses is always super helpful and kind. I was buying fabric there last week and the computer was having issues so it took some time to get me rung up. She discounted my items and if it wasn't for her customer service I would have not returned to shop there”

“It’s rare to come across someone who combines friendliness with such a high level of competence. Matt went above and beyond to ensure a positive experience, and I truly appreciated his dedication. As a small welding supply too, we need to have a partner that help us with our grow.
Thank you, Matt, for your excellent service—you made a real difference!”
“Old style hardware store. Narrow aisles packed with things. I really like the nails and screws by the pound, or buy just the number you need. Closed Sunday and Monday, despite what Google maps says. See the picture I took of the sign on the door.”
“This place has a little of everything and a good variety too! Everything you might need .. they usually have it unless they're out! I really like the staff there as they are customer oriented and seem to really want to be helpful With whatever home needs you might have and have been very helpful when I have absolutely no idea what to do to fix a home situation and have been great about providing me with suggestions / options! Now for the bad part... Parking! That part of town has over the years been turned into a one way/ wrong way street area with only metered curbside parking if you can find one close by. That is the only downside to this place but otherwise it's a "Thumbs Up" from me!”

“We visited on 7/10/23, looking for a length of flexible spa hose to finish setting up a hot tub in our backyard. We had already gone to one Home Depot and had issues. We located the hose in question, but wanted to buy per-foot, rather than an entire roll of hose. This was something they had a SKU for, but they didn't have 8 feet of loose tubing for us. Eventually, we took the roll up to check out and explained the situation to Sylvia. Other places might insist that we buy the entire roll. Instead, she stuck with us, and found Jose, who could do the cutting we needed.Thank you to Sylvia and Jose for going above and beyond in order to make it work. It took a little while to get the right people, but they didn't abandon us, and they made sure to keep with it until we had resolution.”
“My word! Where would we be without our best DIY partner, Home Depot? Life is so much easier with their help. All I can say is thank you, Home Depot. They have all you need!”

“Great service again today. I have to say after working in several companies - and from walking into countless - if an employee is comfortable and happy they sometimes sing while working. In this store I heard a beautiful voice singing. I'm not asking for singing. Just an observation of how seemingly everything feels alright here.”
