“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.”
“Wonderful hardware store with a full selection of boat/marine focused items & knowledgeable staff. We were able to find the correct fuel for our boat's stove, thanks to the associate. Also has all the typical hardware items, including a room full of every screw and bolt you might be looking for.”
“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 find myself going to Big Creek several times a week due to the magnitude of projects I have going on in both my business and personal lives. I pay a bit more there, but go there for the service, especially Dennis. He is very knowledgeable and if he doesn't know the answer, he finds it. I went with 4 stars due to their hours. For me, my projects don't stop because it's 5:00 or because it's Sunday.”
“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”
“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”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“I love their garden center...
A lot more pleasant to shop at than the orange place. Lol
And we don't tend to worry about our cars being parked in their lot.
The only thing I don't like is the self check out.
Fact is it takes longer to check ourselves out and there's still a employee who helps and watches over everyone, when the employee could have taken care of everyone much faster as a cashier. I also believe that at some point these businesses who are doing self checkout are going to find more of a loss than the usuals and a waste and loss installing and paying for all the self checkout machines. I guess we'll see.”
“It was a typical Home Depot. But they had a really good selection of indoor plants. I was looking for a plant gift for a Hotel Lobby I stayed at. The lady at quick check out was very nice. Very busy, but got in and out very quick.”
“Such friendly helpful people work here.i came for plant cages I will say I found them at grocery outlet much cheaper buing bags of planting soil it was good other things tho they seem over priced”

“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!”
