“I have had nothing but positive experiences at Ace Hardware Hillcrest! Every staff member is extremely helpful, the product selection is great, and there are always good deals and promotions. For someone who is totally new to home improvement, it's really hard to find a hardware store where staff treat you without condescension. I believe I've found that store in Ace Hillcrest.”
“This is the second time I have ordered replacement hinges for our kitchen cabinets; the website, ordering process, and quick delivery are what puts this company at the top!! Definitely recommend”
“I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. We moved to downtown SD a year or so ago and spent a *good amount* of the first 6 months in this store!
The location is fantastic. It's 5 blocks'ish from our condo, so it's perfect for us!
The staff is super friendly and helpful. They have anything and everything you need, even stuff you don't know you need (like Twizzlers at the front counter). Paint? Yes. Tools? Yes. Ladder? Yes - and we even bought a 6ft ladder and walked it home (it was a bit of a Keystone Cops moment crossing a couple of streets, but yeah we walked it home).
If they don't have what you want in stock, they'll get it from another location for you.
It's clean and the aisles aren't cluttered. And I feel the need to mention the staff, again. They are ALWAYS there if you need them and really good about not only finding stuff but answering questions on whatever project we were working on.
We'll definitely be back (hell, we've been known to go 3 times in one day - because there's usually something we forget no matter how prepared we think we are).
Thank you for reading my review!”
“They literally have just about anything one could need to complete any project! Very helpful staff. Amazing selection of fasteners. While not close to my home, definitely worth the drive.”
“Excellent: After calling many stores to include themanufacturer, I found the water pressure Repair Kit at this store.
Service: The female whom assisted me was knowledgeable & suggested I call if I had questions when working on my project.
While working on the repair, I struggled to id a part & called the store. The female spoke to someone in the store & helped me id the part.
*I believe her name is Barbara (Excellent sustomer service)
Thank you,
Edna”
“Great specialty store!Edit: Now that I see the ownership here actually cares about what their customers think, I'll elaborate on my experience.I purchased one of the table top epoxies for a bar top project. The job was to remove the previous bar logo and replace it with the new bar logo and fill back with clear epoxy resin as seamlessly as possible. And I apologize for not remembering the exact product name, but it wasn't the deep pour table top epoxy - it was the other of the same brand...The product was top-notch and the customer service was even better! The lady and gentleman that helped me were kind, extremely helpful - and knowledgeable in their field of practice. Great job Rockler!”
“This place is great! I can't seem to schedule when my equipment decides to breakdown however Scott comes in clutch every time I need him to repair something! They are great with scheduled maintenance repairs and last minute breakdown issues.”
“Staff is always friendly and helpful. They have a large variety of items, not just hardware. There are items you can use as gifts. And also items to make your life easier that you never thought existed. I like to look around just to see what they have.”

“I honestly don't know how they did it. Yesterday I realized that I didn't have enough packers to do a project. I contacted them after 4pm and told them my problem. They must have immediately placed the order and shipped it 2000 miles to my doorstep. It arrived at 7:44 am.NOBODY has this level of customer service...”
“Great selection of tools and other supplies for all sorts of projects, both electric and manually operated items. The prices are very good, that's one of the reasons I shop here for my tools.”
“Great experience at SD Hardware working with Jane! She was very helpful and knowledgeable. Did a wonderful job helping us with the hardware for our custom front door. Highly recommend working with Jane at San Diego Hardware!!”

“This is a neighborhood staple. I love being able to walk in for almost everything. The owners love the neighborhood, and the staff is knowledgable and kind. I love that my money is staying local vs going toward big corporations. They have tons of gifts! One of the best parts: there are a couple parking spots in the back.”

“I bought a part to fix something at my job on the 29th of April and the employees were nice and very helpful. Unlike the employees from the ace hardware in La Jolla where they rude and discriminated against me and my friend. I Definitely would come back to this location if need something and not the one in La Jolla location with all the ignorant and racist employees.”
“Although I am a 72 year old single woman, I love shopping at Harbor Freight!!! Perhaps they were short staffed when I was most recently there, but the one man at check out maintained a smile on his face and was very helpful, tending to every customer.”
“Friendly folks, has 95% of what I need and it takes me 2-3x less time to find it than a big box store. This translates into big savings. The only thing I wish they had was drywall sheets, they have pretty much everything else.It's also a true hardware store, whereas neither Lowe's nor HD have a hardware section they only stock common size screws and fasteners, and only US sizes.”
“Mr Barrett is an honest , hardworking gentlemen. He was raised by the best, Walter rip, was an absolute treasure.. this is a company you can ABSOLUTELY TRUST 100%>>
Craig, ...?”
“I requested just one bolt, and they were able to accommodate my needs quickly and efficiently. They provided a quote that was not only reasonable but also very competitive, offering me a great price in the end.”

“Had a great experience buying some floor fans at this location. They helped me assemble the fan on site because I couldn’t quite figure it out myself! Friendly and quick service from the whole team. Much better than going to a big box store for items!”
“I've been coming to this business for several years now. They go another way to help homeowners understand what products to purchase and give you great advice. Just got great service today from Michael, so I decided to finally write a review. It's good to support a local business as opposed to some Big box store in mission valley.”
“We have used Dunn-Edwards paint for our past projects and they have been our go-to paint store. We recently went into the Kearny Mesa store select an exterior paint color to match our roof, existing trim, etc. (selecting a single color amongst a universe of colors is our kryptonite). We met with Freya Wilson who was sweet, professional, and most helpful. She helped us with a first round color candidates, which we we took home, and then we returned with to give here our feedback and we honed in on a color that works most excellently. So, two rounds and a color discovered, the process could not have gone more seamlessly. Thank you Freya.”

“I haven't made a purchase yet from the cabinet and hardware division, but Jeff made an excellent impression on us so we're inclined to. He opened our eyes up to other options. He communicated with us very well and seemed to know a lot about the business. We're impressed with E.B. Bradley's customer service and selection as well.”
“When I need help, they're there to help. They help me color match. They help me pick colors for projects and they always get me the right product for the job. They got a great team there. Customer service is amazing.”
“This store has turned around. Rob, great job! Your team at this location has been extremely helpful and kind. Cassie, Jonathan, and Kevin....you guys have all been such a pleasure to work with over the phone. I can always hear the smile in their voices when they assist me and that doesn't go unnoticed. Keep up the great work DE PB”

“In Mexico I would call it a hardware store but this one is out of the ordinary, it is a very nice and tidy store. Where you find everything from things to fix the house (plumbing, electricity, painting,...) to kitchen utensils. I love it.”
