“A very friendly guy with a great beard took me around personally to find all my items (and discuss them) despite my family and I arriving 10 minutes from closing time. Amazing service. I have deleted all other hardware stores from my mind.”
“Very helpful and very nice people that knows tools. Can go wrong with anything in the store. Also they have one part of the store that sell anime action figures.”
“About the same prices as a big box, but with unparalleled customer service. Large plumbing and electrical department, but also expansive paint and nuts/bolts. Perfectly cut keys are $3! A true community acet!”
“Designed mostly for contractors. Staff definitely knows their stuff, and can help homeowners as much, as they can! They are more stocked now that they were before. If your expecting homedepo type location this is not for you! Definitely a good place for contractors!”
“I went in with a request for a strange screw for my car door, and they spent a lot of time with me individually... only to realize I didn't need it at all. All this for a $.47 piece of hardware. They really went above and beyond.”
“Great place to make keys etc in the neighborhood. Very helpful and friendly owner always there to lend a hand. Reasonable priced items, convenient and full of helpful items without going to Loews. I will continue to shop here”
“Great store, spacious and clean. But their bathrooms are SO dirty. The sinks and even the door to the men’s room are so grimy I didn’t want to touch anything. It’s always like this.”
“Best customer service, helped me find what I needed to avoid having to buy a whole new replacement. Couldn’t recommend more. Plus layout is very nice and clean. Thank you!!!”

“I may be prejudicial here as I have worked for the company for the last 23 years, but I would not have applied if I was not impressed with the quality of customer service and tools that they provided.It is a candy store for any tradesperson or DIYer”
“South City Lumber is our go to for all construction projects. Excellent customer service, go see Erika or Justin for assistance. We recently ordered Emtek cabinet hardware from Erika and she was patient enough and gave great recommendations. We have gotten so many compliments for our cabinet hardware.”
“The owner, Albert, helped me find everything I needed. He was very knowledgeable. Everything was reasonably priced, and they had a great selection of goods. I will definitely be coming back.”

“I said going to grand Avenue hardware about 10 years ago. It seems, but it was really only 8 anyways. The owner is a great guy. His help is the best I've ever dealt with. They're always willing to help me out with question about hardware.”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Designers Brass and especially Arlene, the owner. From the very beginning, Arlene made us feel like family — we kept saying over and over that she felt like a cousin we’ve known forever. Her warmth, kindness, and unmatched patience made what could have been a stressful process feel easy, comfortable, and even fun.
We worked with Arlene over multiple days, and she never once made us feel rushed. Instead, she encouraged questions, explained everything clearly, and took the time to go above and beyond — even doing research and work she didn’t have to, not just for us but for others too. She sat through long meetings with us, helped us explore every possible option, and was incredibly honest and transparent every step of the way.
One thing I absolutely have to mention is how insanely fast everything shipped! Arlene got things done practically overnight — it blew our minds how efficient and on top of everything she was. She truly made the entire process seamless from start to finish.
The quality of their products is top-notch, and the care and heart behind this family-owned, woman-owned business is truly rare. I’ve lived in Millbrae for over 30 years, and I’m honestly sad I just now got to meet Arlene — but I’m so grateful I finally did.
Once everything we purchased is installed, I’ll be sure to post pictures of the final result — I can’t wait to show off how beautiful it all turns out.
If you’re looking for exceptional service, high-quality craftsmanship, and a place that truly makes you feel at home, I highly recommend Designers Brass.
Thank you, Arlene, for everything you did for me and my family. We appreciate you more than words can express!!!”
“Very friendly neighborhood building supply store. They carry a lot of stuff, including some hard-to-find items. They also carry HVAC supplies such as gas furnace (Carrier, Payne, etc.) with competitive price. I would highly recommend them. Thanks!”
“I went to get a battery on Sunday 7/23 and the store should have been open. The main door had a big piece of plywood over it and the place was locked up.I hope everything is okay.The owner wrote and said everything is okay ... I'm really happy because I've always been able to count on them for everything I need and I look forward to going back in the future.”
“After not finding basic items on several occasions, I tried one last time and found a similar product to the one I wanted. But, to my surprise, there was a very recent change in ownership, which, I hope, will mean better and more merchandise on the shelves again soon. I will continue to try to support my local hardware store.”

“SUPERIOR DRYWALL APPLICATIONS would like to add a comment .Rays the Best Ames salesman around .top quality customer service .and very professional when it comes.to providing professional drywall finisher tools .very impressed with the service.i would have to say he is an asset to ames quality tools???”
“If you're a delicate child of the last few decades, you might not like this place. If you grew up with gruff, competent but not always fawning workers, and dingy Army surplus stores like I did, you'll deal with it. Especially if you want a part for an older installation. Higher quality stuff that you get from Home Cheapo and its rivals for the most part.”
“I had a plumbing emergency on Friday with my daughter and family staying for the weekend. I was lucky to get a plumber in a few hours to stop a leaking shower valve for the hot water faucet. It was installed in 1991. BUT to repair/replace the two faucets with a single unit will be $2200. So I went to Cal-Steam Burlingame with the necessary info. It turns out I only need to change out the valve stem for $50. But what is so impressive is that John and Nick went above and beyond to help me. They spent time on the computer locating the part, double checked, conferred and then showed me the part. During the whole process they would apologize for taking so much time. I was so thankful that I could go to a plumbing supply warehouse and stand in line with working plumbers and be treated so respectfully. Senior citizens take note of this! I just turned 80. John and Nick you are great! Thanks for making it easy.”
“One if the few times I've used their tool rental service. Very efficient staff, Ching was working the desk with another gentleman. I had a choice of clearing a drain myself, I needed a electric snake, or calling a plumber. The choice was clear after calling a few plumbers, when they required a diagnostic fee before proceeding, I already knew the issue, a clogged or obstructed sewer drain. By the time a plumber was called, I had already went to home depot, rented the snake and probably cleared the obstruction in the waste pipe. The choice was clear so I didn't bother to contract with any plumber.If you are in need of tools, home depot may be your source providing you have the ability to use them and the knowledge, but really it may take a little longer but the results are the same.I would use home depot again if it arises that I don't have the tools to complete a job”
“I knew they closed at 5 pm, but just getting off that darn Westlake northbound off-ramp took several minutes! Anyway, the fellow told me he closed at 5 pm, but he was willing to help me and make 3 sample cans to go before 5 pm. Great Service.”
“I am a semi-retired decorator. I had a client that needed some rods and had no way of finding displays. Something she could touch and see up close. Since we don't have anything in our area I found Davis Hardware. The people are great and the displays are perfect. You can check size and color, which as you know is very important for the client. They are wholesale, but if you need to see something get with your decorator and go see what they have. Its worth the drive.”
“I had some keys copied in no time at all, and they even had these small, hard to find key rings too! I only needed keys this time, but I'd love to see what else they have next time.”
“5 starts!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The young woman that works here at the desk, is so knowledgeable and a badass at her work!I will recommend you Visit the store, talk to her, ask your questions and make sure you pay attention. She shared so much about plumbing fixtures that now I am able to distinguish when something has plastic or more of a metal component.Also, they have stock of different pieces, so you can probably make your selections -place the order- and take home what your contractor needs to continue with the framing and wall work.”
“Open until 9pm on Sunday! All other hardware stores were already closed Sunday night at 8pm. I drove from San Mateo to Ace in san Bruno. Ace had what I needed urgently, I got in with 4 minutes before closing. The store team are awesome.I was pleasantly shocked for the fact that this Ace is also a full grocery store.”

“Tom is amazing! He's super friendly, efficient, and helpful with our asks. Make sure to come to this specific Lowe's instead of the one in SF; worth the drive for the amazing service! I've had a couple purchases and returns here and they always come out to help my family move things in/out carefully.”

“Great resource for hardware quick and with actual service, well worth the slight premium (if any) over the Big Box monstrosities if you need things quickly and done right.
Recently they cut a key for a friend who has a late model Chevy with the extractable keys. Stealerships charge hundreds to program these and cut the key. eBay has sellers with aftermarket FOBS for $35/pair. Fairly easy to program yourself, and here at this ACE they have the correct machine to cut the key correctly. $25 per customer supplied blank and key works perfectly!
Whenever I visit small businesses like this that are managed, stocked and trained well, I want to vomit at how much more stress and time it takes to buy the same items at hell holes like Home Despot or Lowes.”
