If you have no other reason to go- this *feels* like a hardware store. I know when I say this I am speaking to a very specific subset of people. However, when I was a kid, my dad would take me with him to the hardware store, and I would get a lollypop while he and whomever from behind the counter would wander around looking for an eyebolt or the right shade of caulk. Giulio- who I assume is the owner, is easily 10 years older than my mom, who lives in the assisted living up the street. My mom can't be bothered to go to the chair yoga we're paying for, but Giulio went to work. He's not totally mobile, but he knows his s#!t. Whenever I come in, he or whoever else is behind the counter is happy to chat through my issue and suggest something. It's not a Home Depot- so they may not have what you're looking for every time- but they have a lot of things, and it makes me happy to know my money is staying local. Also, side story: One day during the summer, it's like 90, and I am behind a contractor who's getting a bunch of stuff - lumber, rocks...I don't know- but he's paying for it, and he grabs some water bottles for him and his crew and puts them on the counter. Giulio totals him up and says a number; the guy says, "Oh, don't forget these waters". Giulio says, "The town where I come from in Italy has the best water in the world, and it flows right off the mountain. If my father knew I was charging people for water, he'd come back from the dead and strike me down. Those are free." C'mon. How can you not go here first?

Old school hardware store. The way it used to be. The 2 times I went there I got what I needed fast and that is priceless when on vacation.

A great store with great service. Despite it not being as big as the typical chain stores, they always have what I am looking for. Beyond that, they are always incredibly helpful and kind. As an amateur at home repairs, I especially appreciate that they always give excellent, honest advice. For these reasons, I'd absolutely suggest trying it first before going elsewhere.

Great place fair prices and great service and you will be surprised on all items they carry. I do my best to always go there and do my shopping before I even look at a second place!

Rude and extremely unhelpful. I called looking for a specific product was put on hold. When they returned asked what I was looking for. I told them I specifically needed a C.R. Lawrence quick release agent #958. I was told yeah we have solvent removers, I asked if they specifically had the one I called about. The man on the phone said, “ I don’t know it’s to hard for me to go look. Have a nice day.” He then hung up.

Thank you Bayside Building Materials for supplying to San Mateo Public Works site. We found out you were the reason there was sand available and thanks to you my family and many others were able to get sand bags today to help offset the flooding from Saturday and prepare for the upcoming rain this week. Thank you!

I'm giving eBayside Building Materials 5 stars because they really did a great job for me.I was in a rush to get my house fixed up before the holidays, and I needed to get some supplies from them. I'd never used them before, but I heard good things about their store, so I decided to give them a shot. The service was fast and friendly, and they had everything I needed at a reasonable price. They even helped me figure out which materials would work best for my project!I'm very happy with how things turned out—I'll definitely use this company again.

I just wanted to say how much I love eBayside Building Materials. They're always so helpful and knowledgeable, and the products they sell are of high quality. I'm always so impressed with the care they take in making sure my order is right, and the prices are always fair. I've ordered from them several times now and have never been disappointed!

Unlike the 2yo review on yard help, I have had excellent service over the past several months-loads of 3/4" base rock, sand and topsoil. I tell them what I need as I park my trailer, go in to pay, and the load is complete when I return.

The cool thing about this place was that they let us handpick our pieces of lumber. We had a small order though, 11 pieces of 1x8x5 redwood con-heart, so not sure if that made a difference when compared to larger orders. The lumber was stored outside in the back of the property and we got to select which 11 pieces we wanted to take home after inspecting the stockpile. Many pieces were not selected because of defects like cracks and chips, so be sure to examine each piece carefully.

The owner and staff are very nice. They have a limited selection but very popular. Very attentive to your needs. They order in stuff if they dont got it.

Love this local hardware store. There is nothing like good old fashioned customer service where the owner will literally take you to directly to the place you're looking for. I was refinishing an old vanity in my bathroom and was having some problems with refitting new knobs and cabinet pulls. I bought all of the supplies I needed from this store. (All paint supplies and cabinet hardware). I was having some issues fitting the cabinet hardware and the owner gave me several different ones to try. He let me take them home and fit them for free. And then return the ones that didn't work and purchase the ones that did. It worked out perfectly. But the biggest thing was it was done on the honor system. Something that is seriously missing in today's world and something you will never get from a big box store. This place is awesome.

Staff is super knowledgeable about products and they consult with you on whatever DIY project you have. They don't sell you anything for the sake of sales rather for what you actually need. Love this place.
