“I’m a licensed contractor and use to purchase building materials and tools from the Discount Builders Supply. I shop there 3, 4 times a day. The people who are working there are friendly and helpful. Every time when I get there I feel like meeting friends.
Richard, Nevenka, Sally, Marie, Kai, Bobby, Carman, Sergio, Myra… and many others. Well done!
I strongly recommend this business 👍🏻”
“I asked a question, everyone stood there, and Zachary answered as if he committed the entire store's inventory to memory. He was very knowledgeable, resourceful, and kind, helping me with my purchase. Thank you”
“Omar is amazing! He is super knowledgeable, friendly, and observant. He noticed there was a part missing on our dead bolt and that's why it was difficult to unlock and he fixed it! 10/10 would recommend.”
“The staff at Airgas San Rafael are polite, accommodating and friendly. Whether it is placing orders or meeting deliveries at our own facility, Airgas San Rafael is highly professional, reliable and always has the products we need or can source them within a few days. Tony Longmire has been delivering liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide tanks to us for over a decade and he is the best! Airgas San Rafael has help our company succeed.”
“They did a good job but it isn't the friendliest of shops. I think this shop is able to make almost any key and for that it makes it worth the trip. When I called around they were about the same price as any other locksmith. The best think about this business is that they have an actual store that you can go to. I would recommend it.”
“Good stock for a small location in the heart of the city! There staff is usually overly kind and helpful when your kind to them. Great people to help you with any household, residential & commercial needs in real estate or personal art projects.”
“Great store, large range of products, the woman I talked to was very patient and helpful to help me finding a solution to the problem I had.
I recommand this place.”

“Honest, smart, upfront people. They helped me talk through an idea I had and actually advised me to not go ahead with the plan, even though they would lose a sale. They focused on my needs first. Thank you!”
“Absolutely amazing I had a stripped bolt and they spent about an hour working to get it out using variety of methods and tools and went truly truly above and beyond”
“I love this place! Ok, I love hardware stores. It's got just about everything you'll need (no it's NOT home despot, which has its place in the annuals of hardware stores.) They have a lovely garden section with great help, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable (Ask for Peter.) They always have great seasonal selections as well as vegetable starter plants. Plus they always have good holiday decorations and inspiration. Their crew is a bit eccentric, which I think is a plus!”
“I always find what I need here, whether it's a random tool or some paint. The staff is super helpful and friendly, which makes shopping for home projects way less stressful. It's my go-to spot!”

“5 big stars for Cathy, who guided me through all of Tap's 10 Bay Area stores in pursuit of nearly 300 lbs. of a specialized polymer product. While her San Rafael store had a good chunk of what we needed, without her knowledge of the entire Tap inventory structure I would have been out of luck. Terrific customer service, something I've frequently had at Tap but never take for granted!”
“The crew at Corbett's are terrific! The woman who has helped me a couple of times makes me feel like I'm her next door neighbor. She looks out for her customers. She friendly, knowledgable and can work out a glitch quickly and with a smile.I've also enjoyed some fun conversations with a fellow who checked me out a couple of times - esp about my surprise at seeing pies at a hardware store! Each visit has been a very positive experience.”

“Ace hardware is my go to hardware store before Home Depot and Lowe's for certain items but for bigger jobs like sheet rock or lumber building materials I'll go to Home Depot but some of the bigger Ace Hardware stores carry everything I would need. I would recommend Ace hardware.”

“The old lady working here was extremely helpful in assisting me with my shopping and I totally didn’t expect her to go out of her way to make sure I got what I really wanted to get. Proof that some family-owned businesses are better!”

“A surprisingly well stocked hardware store, huge benefit to locals as we dont need to make the 1/2 hour trek to Pt. Reyes Station to get a fastener. They also stock a variety of rustic home decor items, outdoor furniture, and barbecues.”
“This store has the best customer service! I placed an online order for in-store pickup and was not able to get the order within the timeframe. I really wanted the order so I called and spoke to a really nice gentleman on the phone and asked if I could provide a prepaid shipping label so they could send the items to me. They agreed! Toby helped me and shipped it out the same day. Best service ever. Thank you so much!”
“Subject: 10/10 Experience – Marin Ace & Perplexity Recommendation
Dear Marin Ace / Perplexity Team,
I wanted to share a quick review of my recent experience purchasing a Traeger grill based on Perplexity’s recommendation to use Marin Ace in San Rafael.
Perplexity identified Marin Ace as the best low-hassle option for buying, delivering, and setting up a Traeger in Belvedere, and that recommendation was spot on. The purchase process was extremely easy – clear information, no confusion, and everything handled efficiently from the start. Delivery was scheduled quickly and the grill arrived much sooner than I expected.
The delivery and setup team did an outstanding job. They assembled the grill perfectly, walked through the basics, and made sure everything was working as it should. Just as importantly, they were careful and professional inside the home, taking care not to damage the floors or bump into walls or furniture. It felt like a true white-glove experience.
Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. The combination of Perplexity’s guidance and Marin Ace’s execution made what could have been a complicated, heavy, and annoying process into something completely seamless. I would absolutely recommend this setup to anyone in the area looking to purchase and install a Traeger.
You have my full permission to share this review internally and with corporate.”
“Service was quick and keys work perfectly. They also have a lot of other household stuff and hardware. Will definitely be back as I prefer to support the small local businesses like these than all the large chains that are starting to pop up everywhere.”
“I go to the 750 Bryant store regularly and the staff is incredible! Monty and the others have full knowledge of the products & applications. They are quick to wait on you & I’m never left waiting, important to busy contractors. I give it 10 ⭐️!”
“These guys are a local business and are incredibly helpful and easy to work with! I came in with a challenging project and Mario helped me get all the right materials to complete a successfully!”
“This is your quintessential neighborhood hardware store! Jonathan, Charlie, Albert and company are extremely helpful with nearly every project we are tasked with completing. Thanks guys for the many years of your expertise, insight, humor and good ole fashion customer service!”
