Just got laughed off the phone for asking to remix a gallon of paint. Other stores offer this service but I figured I would call. The person on the phone not only mocked me but called over another person to the phone and they both laughed. I guarantee they would not have spoken to a man in that way and I have had it up to here with men in the hardware/building industry being misogynistic. I try to support small businesses but I’ll be going to Home Depot now, their indifference is far better than being mocked. A simple “no, we don’t offer that” would have sufficed. Off to remix my own paint!

Just left this store and I honestly cannot believe there are as many (or any) positive reviews. Their customer service gets zero stars given that I got zero assistance. No one else in the store but me, two employees, zero help. I'm not even sure if the employee at the cash register was actually breathing. If you live in that neighborhood it's probably convenient to have a place to grab misc hardware items. But, if you people want to know what Ace is actually suppose to be like, visit the one in San Rafael or Novato (or anywhere else) -- those employees are very eager to help. Now, I think I'm gonna call Corbet's and have someone check on that cash register dude.

I've shopped at Corbet's for over fifty years and always found the people to be knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Glad I have an excuse to take a minute and say thank you: I was taken by surprise when, because of an unusual gust of high wind, my new patio umbrella fell over with a crash. I'd purchased it at Corbet's, so I called them to ask what to do. The woman I spoke with suggested weighing down the base with sandbags. So I went back this morning to pick up the sandbags and the hundred pounds of sand needed for best stability. The young man who helped me could see that I would have a great deal of difficulty transferring the hundred pounds of sand into the sandbags by myself, so he offered to do the job for me before I left the store. It was a difficult job, and I was truly grateful for his kindness. Little things make a big difference. And Anthony made a big difference in my day.

These folks are survivors! Having been surrounded for years by road and bridge construction they nevertheless continue to attract enough customers to stay in business. That's due entirely to a very knowledgeable and friendly staff!

Very helpful staff! Led me right to where the product should have been on the shelf. They didn't have any, but said it would be fulfilled on Thursday. I was then able to have two keys made right away on a weekday morning. Neighborhood hardware stores are the best.

Nice selection. Open Sunday was very appreciated. Some staff seemed disinterested.

"Time makes fools of us all." Perspectives sure change a lot as you move along. Years ago Corbet's was the last resort for the odd bit of hardware needed, if you were among the 60s hippy-trippy remodelers of falling down redwood shingle cottages in Marin. That's at least the perspective of this reviewer and review. Corbet's was fine for buying garden supplies by the swells who had been around long before 1967 and lived in real houses. But that wasn't most of us newcomers back then, at all. "Guess you'll have to get it at Jolly Jim's" This last was a most unflattering moniker some of us used for the place, in event we needed on short notice something, maybe a metric Allen wrench or whatever. This derived from the notion we had for the store that assumed it was a fabulous cash cow generating tons of wealth for its crass and callous capitalist owner. What did we know about business, or anything... except of course our vices and cheap thrills of choice. Truth be told we were the crass and callous ones back then, air-conditioned gypsies to be sure however we may have been ennobled nee benighted ourselves by the great god of hip. This was a time when certain city halls were virtually invisible to us when planning a bit of the old "home improvement", as in "wtf do you need a permit for anyway?" No wonder the old babe widows back in the canyons who were selling their homes to escape the cultural maelstrom coming down on the area held us in such disdain. My nextdoor neighbor ingratiously called me a bum to one of her blue-hair pals, can you imagine? A bum... and I been to college, too! Well what of it, if you had bought one of those small summer cottages back when they cost maybe $20k, you could've had a diy project for life. But better yet just do the paint'n putty synchromeshed number and hope the place didn't fall down in the process of selling it to the city Boogs (urban bougeoisie getting "back to the land"). Sorry if this little depiction sullies your notion of myself, your faithful narrator, or the days that went down following Death of Hippie in the city. But relax, trust me I'm not like that no more. ("Look ma, I'm an elite yelper now. So, are you a real writer? What does that mean? Well, darling, does anyone pay for what you write? Uhh, not lately.") So this review, written some half-century later, sees major differences in the neighborhoods around central Marin. Gone is the fabulous got-it-all-under-one-roof Corte Madera Hardware, the Lumber Yard on Paradise Drive, Yardbirds, even the so-called Rainbow Market which served as one of the few places to buy, if not hardware then the ubiquitous ZigZag brand of rolling papers (for after work yeah) and later under new management came various and significantly more bioactive analgesics. (And after, after hours some assembled in the now-disappeared Rose Bowl Chateau, being as it was the Larkspur dive bar of choice back then, enhanced not a little by Janis' favoring its shuffle board over one across the street....) Today, after a few sturm and drang decades with resultant and total gentrification in the area, Corbet's is actually a breath of fresh air when you need anything from hardware to household items. Local is not only better, it seems positively quaint. Unless perhaps you prefer the corporate big-box landfill world. This invasion has taken over this and other categories of consumables, requiring at minimum a trip out to E. Francisco Blvd where the real estate is cheap, at best a 45 minute round-trip even if you just turn around in its crowded parking lot. If you go that way, you can at least turn off your daily walking step-counter as you traipsing up and down looking for aisle 37. And be careful whom you ask for help: just make sure they're uniformed in that orange apron else you insult some guy from Richmond or the Canal by assuming he's only there because he's paid to help direct you to the impact wrenches, whatever they are.

Very helpful and friendly staff, they escorted me to exactly what I needed and even carried it to the check out line for me, and not because it was something that was locked up, but just out of the kindness in his heart! Definitely recruited me as a life long customer!
