βAce is the place with helpful hardware folks! But seriously though, this store always has a variety of employees with knowledge to help you find what you need and have practical advice to stop you from buying what you donβt.
The store has everything you could possibly ever need in and outside of the house. Youβll find every tool and supply to complete those DIY projects and home maintenance. You can also pick up a new grill and replace your string of lights for the holidays.
Itβs also right next to the garden center which has a fantastic selection year round and has equally amazing employees. Super helpful!
Sign up for points program. Constantly get coupons and discounts throughout the year that are actually useful and save a decent amount of money over time. Think $10 off $50 or buy a $50 gift card and get $10 gift card.β
βI really appreciate the service discount builders provides when I come through the front door I go there most of the time due to them having everything I need for work and Myra Cameo a customer service rep is always helpful and always supportive when helping out customers such as myself and always proud to see me there Shout out to myra!β
βI've come to this store multiple times and I always had a great experience. It's even better if you need help finding the right tools or materials for a project because you'll always find someone ready to help.β
βOne of the best ace hardware stores in the Bay area.
Services, superbs, location is great, and the staff is wonderful.
My go to for my gardening needs. Thank you, thomas ann, eric, keep up the great workβ
βA very well-stocked hardware store. And, if they donβt have it, just ask. They might very well be able to order it for you!
Oh, and they are dog-friendly;-)β
βGreat place to pick up Benjamin Moore paints. I order online and pick it up to avoid wait times (which arenβt that long but I always end up leaving with things I didnβt intend on buying ?). Great customer service and they do occasional sales! Grateful this is my neighborhood hardware store.β
βCame 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 backβ
βI don't live near this hardware store. It's a bit of a grind to drive to here. And there are other hardware stores closer to me.
But no matter what I need, I aways take the time and make the effort to patronize this place.
Brian is the man who has impressed me with his down home demeanor and helpful approach to treating customers. But, everyone I've met at this store are helpful and knowledgeable.
And if you have some time on your hands even the customers can be fun to engage with. I've had some customers ask me if I worked there!
Matt says if you need some help with solving a issue with a do it yourself project, take the time to check out this store. It's a cultural experience that will make your day betterβ

βReally canβt express enough gratitude to the excellent work this team does! Dakota went above and beyond as he received my online request and processed my order so swiftly!! Hats off to you! Appreciate the outstanding customer service!β
βNeeded some applewood pellets for my smoker. I called, they told me they stored the pellets away for the season but happy to check to see if they had the applewood. They did and brought up a bag from storage and had it at the counter for me when I came to pick it up. Needed it because I'm making homemade baconβ
βI made 3 keys at Home Depot, but donβt 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 !β
βI 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!β
βLast week, I purchased a pizza slicer from another store, but it broke when I attempted to use it. I came to Laurel Ace to get a replacement because I know that its products are sturdy.
Marcos, the associate who assisted me, not only directed me to the proper aisle, but, to my surprise and gratification, TESTED the slicer to make sure that it would hold up! As if this wasn't enough, I also told me that I could bring it back if I had any problems.
I ALWAYS get great service at my neighborhood Ace, but young Marcos is among the BEST associates who I've ever been blessed to deal with. You can NEVER lose by going to Laurel Ace, particularly if he assists you.β
βUnexpectedly 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.β
βVery 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 doβ
βThe 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.β

βThere's a SOLID reason why this place has 5 stars, & I'm happy to add one more! Today, Richard at the front was incredibly attentive and helpful. He went way above and beyond! After going to 3 other stores to try and find what I needed, each of which had terrible customer service where the employees didn't give a $hit, I was stoked to find that this place had someone who actually cared. In fact, it took more than a couple tries to find exactly what I needed, & Richard was more than willing to help. To the owners: thanks for being here, having such a huge inventory, & for hiring people who treat your customers with respect! I will definitely be back!! To my fellow Yelp'ers: THIS should be your first stop. Forget big box names & go here. You'll not only be supporting a local business, you'll save yourself some stress!!! *They have a $15 minimum - so keep that in mind.β

βLove this place. Although it is a small shop they almost always have the odd part or piece that I need for the honey do list. Free parking, attentive service and knowledge and no wasted time.β
βFrancis 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!β
βMultiple 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.β
βSmall hardware store but very complete. With less variety of products due to the size of the store, but you can find everything.
The staff was extremely friendly, they helped me find what I needed and gave me good product recommendations.β

βThey have everything you might need for property/ apartment repairs.
I have come here to find pieces of lumber. They are great at cutting lumber to the requested measurements.
The workers are always polite and helpful when it comes to pointing you in the right direction. There is commercial parking right in the front for easy loading. They also have a warehouse right across the street which contains more lumber.
Great location and a helpful place to go to if you are in the city.β
βA 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.β
βBest one stop HVAC suppliers in business! Tools equipment parts all in one, multi-brand parts supplier.When the others branded companies canβt, Johnstone is your best resource. The best in HVACR Contractor wholesale.β
βI'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.β

βOver 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 Bowlinβ
βThe Best Hardware store in The Tenderloin CA. Basically you can find Anything And Everything You need to Build Or Repair... also the Best and Professional Workers! THANK YOU SHIPPING ON PEERLESS!β
βI don't own a boat but I am a metal fabricator and need industrial coatings. I've found Barry is the most knowledgeable staff there regarding painting and the products needed to get your specific project done right. He has years of experience in the field. Everyone else who works there was friendly and helpful as well. Also, there's a vast inventory of products on site!Call them anytime and a HUMAN ANSWERS!! YEAY!β
βIt 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!

βWonderful 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.β
