“Becky at Harbor Freight provided outstanding customer service. She was super helpful and made the whole experience quick and easy. What really stood out was when I accidentally left my down hail tape inside—she actually ran outside to bring it to me before I drove off. That’s going above and beyond, and it’s rare to see that level of care. Really appreciate the effort—employees like Becky make a big difference.”

“Sean Is the finest and most helpful vendor of all the vendors I've worked with in building an ADU. He picked up the phone cheerfully every time and usually immediately every time I've called for advice on doing a two part epoxy sealer over a concrete floor. Over the phone, he has held my hand through every step of the process so that I have come up with an excellent final Floor. And he has recommended the best person to do jobs that I can't do like slab grinding. He is cheerful, clever, funny, and his knowledge base is unbelievable. He made the whole process of purchasing, mixing, and laying down the product an enjoyable one. I recommend him and his services in the highest way possible.”

“Super helpful staff that are easy to work with. Walk in, ask what weird fastener you need (or just hand them what you have), they'll find it if they have it and work with you to maybe find an alternative, and often offer you an excellent deal. I never spend more than 2-3 minutes there and I already have what I need and I am walking out.”

“I can't say enough good things about Saroyan Hardwoods — especially about Dan, aka Lumberman Dan! :)

From the moment I reached out, Dan was incredibly helpful with his recommendation for the right materials for your project.

What sets Dan apart is not just his expertise, but how responsive he is. He replies to emails quickly, always with thoughtful suggestions. Plus, he's got a fantastic sense of humor that makes the whole experience even better.

If you're looking for quality materials and top-notch customer service, I highly recommend Saroyan Hardwoods. Ask for Dan — you won’t be disappointed!”

“Great experience all around. Called the 1-800 number to check stock but realized it was basically a call center that can tell you which location has what. I'm old-school, so I drove to this location and placed my order and then got a call the next day in the morning for pickup. Punctual in every way and great customer service. We'll be doing business again, thank you!”

“I normally don't review hardware stores and I normally do not shop at this location, but I had a real great customer service experience. As soon as I walked in the door, someone greeted me and asked if I need help. I normally don't ask for help but I said I needed some assistance with specific light switches and fan controller. The gentleman who covers that area just happened to be standing next to the greeter. He looked at the switches I brought with me and was able to quickly get me what I needed that they had in stock. He identified that the other switch is not something they carry so he identified the model number and I ordered it from Amazon. He was very helpful and friendly. I ended up buying a few other items and was able to check out with minimal wait. Overall, it was a much better and quicker experience than I expected.”

“Lupita you deserve this awesome review and more keep up the hard work!! Lupita was a total standout in the Self‑Serve area. When I ran into issues checking out — especially with an item that wouldn’t scan and seemed impossible to resolve — she stepped in immediately with focus and determination. She didn’t just point me somewhere else or leave me stuck. She stayed right there with me, working through every option until she found a solution.

What really hit me was how she refused to give up. She kept troubleshooting, checking the system, trying different approaches, and making sure I wasn’t left without answers. She made it clear she wasn’t walking away until everything was taken care of. That kind of dedication is rare.

On top of that, she took great care of me the entire time. She kept me informed, made sure I felt supported, and turned what could’ve been a frustrating moment into a smooth, positive experience. Her energy, her persistence, and her commitment to making sure I left happy were truly outstanding.”

“Todd has everything I needed when ever I went in and he knows where it's all at. I get my power hacksaw blades here and Todd seems to be the only person who knows what a power hacksaw is. It's also the best place to look around and check stuff out, I even found tools I couldn't find anywhere else.”
