“10/10 recommend. Great, friendly neighborhood hardware store. I had a exceptionally positive experience there today with locksmith, Eric. He was exceedingly knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and honest. It reminded me that not everything is cold and AI in the Bay Area there are genuine people who care about their craft and are providing a needed service without taking advantage of customers. Can't recommend this place enough.”

“Needed 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 bacon”
“I had a fantastic experience at Marcus Supply Ace Hardware in Oakland, California. The staff was incredibly helpful when I was searching for JB Weld—they guided me right to the exact product I needed. Their knowledge and customer service really stood out, and I felt well taken care of throughout. I highly recommend this store for anyone in need of tools or supplies!”
“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!”
“Small hardware store but very complete. With less variety of products due to the size of the store, but you can find everything.

“Last 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.”
“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.”
“I went here about a month ago and couldnt be more pleased. Old school..like when i was a kid and had to get parts for old school tools and fixtures of my moms stuff. Went to home depot about a week ago to get a part for screen door..the latch that handle clicks into. Omg..what an ordeal..they dont have them..you have to buy whole new handle with latch. All i had was a hundred..OLDER woman on outdoor cashier says..20 40..80..3..i said wait..she takes it back and reads it out right..then accuses me of stealing a red bull i had in my mobility scooter when i came in..IM 70 FGS...TOLD HER I LIKE MINE WARM..SO THEIRS REFIGERATED?..SHE SHOULD PICK IT UP AND TEST IF ITS WARM..ONLY THEN DID I REMEMBER...MY GOD...TRUE VALUE..OWNER .

“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.”
