“Local mom and Pop business that always gives the best service. The hardware store is excellent, and the art store is even better. The people that work there are incredibly helpful and they have everything you can think of… Keep the silver in Silverlake.🤙🏽”
“I don’t usually buy out of state but this situation I have made that necessary. I wasn’t sure how it would go, so here is how it went. Great, I spoke with James in sales he helped with a couple of issues had good solutions and we made the order. A few days go by and here it is. So start to finish it worked very well. I will buy from them again. Sonic seems well stocked, the prices are in keeping with current prices and the service is outstanding. Thanks Sonic and James for your help. See you soon.”

“Eagle Tools is my “go-to” vendor for professional woodworking tools. I’ve have been going there for years and I’m constantly impressed with their quality, selection and service. The staff is outstanding! John and Greg are always ready to answer questions and assist with sales. Gabe runs the show and is following beautiful in his founding father’s (Jessie) footsteps. The store is extensive and masterfully organized. They are customer centric and regularly provide demo days and interactive product training. I give my highest recommendation and feel confident that any avid woodworker will delight in a visit to this awesome establishment.”
“I called ahead to make sure they had what needed & they did. So I tell them ill be there shortly and so when I get there they already were waiting on me. So I pay and then one of the girls has a dolly with what bough. I get to my truck it and she tried but just wasnt able to lift it so I stepped in like the gentleman I am & did it for her and for that reason I give it 5 stars cuz other stores with mostly men working there won't even ask if you need assistance loading and this place didnt ask just did it. Thank you for the great customer service Harbor Frieght Glassell Park,CA...”
“As a designer, I have been going to Nina's for over 10 years. Great selection, best prices, great service, very personal and family owned business. They are the best!!!!”
“i really enjoy stopping by every now and then to browse the collection of tools, homeware, and kitchenware and to have a nice chat with the staff here! admittedly, i used to assume that they only had hardware tools so i didn't think i'd find something i needed until i stopped by on a whim one day after dining at Azay next door. i ended up buying some nice chopsticks and my friend bought a pickling container which we had coincidentally had a conversation about right before. i bought more random yet useful kitchen and cleaning tools the next time i went. goes to show how you can always find something you need or can be useful here! i sometimes get sad and feel nostalgic for small speciality stores ran by local families, so i'm really glad that there's a store like Anzen Hardware around and thriving! definitely will get a knife from here soon too”
“They had a close replica of the light bulbs I needed to replace and were quick to respond and ship! I was a little concerned about the packaging but the bulbs were pretty sturdy and everything worked out great.”
“Jim the owner and his employees are very attentive and knowledgeable. Local businesses like this hardware store are a vital part of the El Sereno community.FYI, they close at 3 on Sunday, not 2.”
“Really happy with our experience with Westside Bath. The team was easy to work with, communicative, and professional from start to finish. They also helped guide us in choosing the right materials and products for our project, which made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. The workmanship and attention to detail were great, and you can tell they genuinely care about the quality of what they do. Overall, just a really smooth experience and we’d definitely recommend Westside Bath to anyone planning a bathroom renovation.”
“This hardware store has everything you could possibly need! The staff are super helpful, and they always seem to have the right tool for the job. Definitely my go-to for DIY projects.”
“Been going here since the 80's (when it was in a different location). There's something very appealing about old-style neighborhood hardware stores. As a kid I loved exploring the seemingly overcrowded aisles. You'll always find something unexpected. Most important is the knowledgeable staff. There is always someone available to help you get what you need and even give you ideas and solutions if you are uncertain about your repair. This location is close enough to the more famous mega-hardware/home repair store. Come here first. If you don't find it here you can always go there afterwards (but they don't always have what you need either).”
“Oscar is very intelligent, kind, and humble. He really knows his work and takes the time to help customers properly. Their prices are very reasonable, and you can tell they have been serving the community with honesty and experience for over 30 years. I had a great experience and highly recommend this plumbing supply store.”
“My favorite hardware store in LA. A real hardware store that knows what they sell and how to use it. A welcome respite from Lowes HDtype decorating store where 99% of the staff in on their cell phone hiding from customers and they only sell replacements not parts to fix things.”
“I’ve purchased items from Liz’s. It was a great find when we were renovating an old tract home in Laurel Canyon to be a jewel box art nouveau, Deco, style home. Harrison Ford was our carpenter!”
“Ask for Miguel or Gus... The best place to get your building materials is also good in finding hard to find parts and accessories. Mention me, Al.... for awesome discounts”
“I really enjoy this place. It’s one of the few true hardware stores left where the staff actually know what they’re talking about. They have an excellent selection, and I’ve even managed to find some really obscure plumbing parts that larger supply stores didn’t carry. Jerry is especially great to deal with!”
“Baller Hardware has been my go to hardware store and plant shop since they opened in HLP a few years ago. Staff is always super friendly and helpful + prices are great. Parking is available in the back lot. I really want to emphasize that the indoor and outdoor plant shop here is truly outstanding. The owners consistently have the best selection of plants for amazing prices (they even offer pretty frequent plant sales with significant discounts). My wife and I have filled our yard and house with Baller plants and they all are super happy, healthy, and beautiful. Special shout out to Keith who works in the plant department and is always very friendly, happy, knowledgeable, and helpful. He’s there almost every time we visit and he’s given us great advice on keeping our plants healthy and he even pots our plants very nicely for us when we purchase a plant + pot together (pictured). Thank you, Keith! And Ballers!”

“In the late afternoon, I found myself needing a specific plumbing part for the main bathroom en suite I was cleaning out, so I headed over to Garvanza Hardware. A staff member quickly understood what I was describing and came back with exactly what I needed. The service was efficient and straightforward. I was in and out in no time and able to finish my project that same day. Really appreciate the knowledgeable help. I’ll definitely be back for future home repair needs.”

Prices are reasonable, and I always feel confident about the quality of the items I purchase. It’s a great place to shop for both big and small projects, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area who values good service and a reliable local store.”
“The lads (and ladesses?) at Shilpark Paint are gems! Went there this morning, full of my ignorance, and asked for a match to a 15 year old can of paint. After a few gentle chuckles about the out-dated paint, the gentlemen pointed me towards a more modern blend that should match. After a short 5 min wait, I was on my out of the store towards my painting destiny. The Shilpark crew were right on target and the new paint matches the old paint perfectly. Thank you for your invaluable help, intrepid paint experts!”

Lowe's is giving its loyalty program a makeover to better serve small and mid-sized professional contractors. The home improvement retailer has changed its MVPs Pro Rewards & Partnership Program into the new MyLowe's Pro Rewards. The updated program aims to make life easier for professionals while offering more benefits from their first purchase.
Ace Hardware is reimagining itself with a new store concept. The home improvement retailer plans to invest over $1 billion in the next five years to roll out "Elevate Ace" across new and existing locations. The revamped stores will feature brand showrooms, expanded product lines, and enhanced customer service. Some locations will even boast outdoor spaces with live plant displays. Ace gave retailers a sneak peek at the concept during its recent Chicago convention. While a few stores will debut the new look later this year, the full rollout begins in January.
Ace Hardware is hammering out an impressive growth story. The retailer-owned cooperative is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a bang, reaching 5,000 U.S. stores and planning to open 200 new locations in 2024. The company hit a milestone when it opened its 100th new store this year in Henderson, Nevada. Another newcomer, Fixit Ace Hardware in Roswell, Georgia, became the 5,000th domestic Ace store.
In the latest move of its growth plan, leading paint maker Dunn-Edwards just opened 17 new retail locations throughout Northern California. This expansion of physical stores boosts the company's footprint in the region by over 50%.
The expansion caps an exciting time for the nearly 100-year-old company. With its 100th anniversary in 2025, Dunn-Edwards is strengthening its market position through planned growth focused on better serving pros, homeowners and employees.
