“I honestly never take the time to write google reviews, but just left this store and it was such a wonderful experience that I felt compelled to write one. A wonderful woman working helped me find the screws and washers I needed in a matter of minutes, when I expected it to take a lot longer to sift through and find them myself. The customer service is truly notable. Thank you!”
“This location had items in stock that other stores didn't, and it feels like a larger store than many others in the valley. Friendly staff, large parking lot and easy access from Highway 17.”
“We are so pleased with our new gate and fences. We cannot tell you enough how hard-working and professional Marco and Eduardo were. They truly worked as a team, were dedicated, and efficient. They were great about answering any, and all of our questions, and really created a comfortable atmosphere for those conversations.
In the future, if we decide to hire a company to replace our back fence, it'll definitely be California Fence Builder. We would also specifically request these two gentlemen to return to do the work.
Thank you to all of you for such a great experience, from Andony arriving early to measure, giving us a bid while he was still on our property, to the high quality workmanship on the day of the install. We have already given recommendations to others.”
“They have everything you need for custom projects, race cars, airplanes,boats. You don't know what you need until you walk the store. Also to note the owners, are most genuine kind hearted people, they run the store themselves.”

“Whenever I’m in the general area, I love stopping by TAP Plastics. I was really saddened when the South San Jose location shut down many years ago, and in my opinion, that location was much more convenient for those of us on the south side.
I also really wish TAP Plastics had not stopped carrying the plastic flip-lid compartment organizers. They were the only organizers of that type I could find in any store that were made in the USA, and I have never found a comparable replacement.
Aside from that, TAP Plastics is absolutely a hands-down great store. The atmosphere is calm, the employees are respectful and helpful, and I always enjoy stopping in whenever I’m nearby.”

“Everytime I walk into an Ace Hardware I realize how much I hate the big box stores. Far more variety, knowledgeable help, and vibe at Ace, particularly this one. But Bemjamin-moore paint is too expensive.”

“I needed an old Kelly Moore paint matched, and my painter buddies told me this was the spot. I dropped off the can of old paint and within a couple days it was ready. Rob was super helpful when I arrived to pick up. Also cool is that they now have my color on file if I ever need it again. So happy this business is here for us. Bravo South Bay Paints!”
“Ace in Boulder Creek is a really great store for home improvement, repair, and everyday household needs. Every time I visit, I am impressed by how well the store is organized and how easy it is to find what I need. They have a very good selection of materials, tools, hardware, garden supplies, paint, and many other useful items for both small repairs and bigger projects. It is the kind of store where you can come in for one simple thing and still find many other helpful products.
One of the best things about this store is the customer service. The staff are friendly, patient, and always willing to help. If you have questions about materials, tools, or which product is best for a certain job, they take the time to explain and give useful advice. That makes a big difference, especially when you are working on a project and want to make sure you buy the right item.
The store is also very clean and well maintained. Everything looks neat, the shelves are arranged nicely, and the whole place feels comfortable and professional. Shopping there is pleasant because it does not feel messy or confusing. You can tell that the store is managed with care and attention to detail.
Another thing I really like is that the store has a local and welcoming atmosphere. It feels reliable, convenient, and much more personal than a big anonymous store. Whether you need building materials, tools, or supplies for your home and garden, Ace in Boulder Creek is a place you can trust.
Overall, I highly recommend Ace in Boulder Creek. It is a clean, well-stocked, and well-organized store with excellent service, a great selection of products, and a very welcoming atmosphere. It is a wonderful place for anyone who values quality, convenience, and helpful staff.”
“This place is great. Friendly knowledgeable staff and a well kept store makes for an enjoyable shopping experience. It's so nice to have a hardware store in this shopping center again.”
“I recently visited this store. Was struck by the friendliness of the staff. They were so very helpful and easily accessible. They have everything that I need in a hardware store plus a huge nursery and garden supplies. This will be my go to store from now on.”
“I want to give a shoutout to Darren Adams at Gardenland Equipment. Darren has been helping me the past couple years with anything ive needed, whether it’s parts, equipment, repairs, or just getting answers to questions.
He always takes care of us quickly and makes sure we get exactly what we asked for. I’ve never had an issue with an order, and he’s always thorough, responsive, and willing to go above and beyond to help us out.
Gardenland has been a great vendor for our school district, and Darren especially has been a great partner to work with. His customer service and reliability are definitely appreciated.”

“Came in today and ordered 15 gal of paint for our house. Sean’s customer service was great! It makes me want to visit this BM store over any of the other ones! Thanks for the excellent customer service Sean!”
“Amazing store. They had an adapter they had *in stock* for our tractor's hydraulic hose fitting, which we needed that day. The staff found exactly what we needed and recommended better washers than had come with the hose in the first place, which have put a stop to leaks on the other hoses.”
“I went in on a Friday afternoon after looking for an odd and unique buss bar for a vacuum pump that we were exchanging to have rebuilt. I had been to three other electrical supply shops and none of them had or thought they could get that part or something close to make work. So I didn't have high hopes when arriving. It looked like I interrupted lunch (Sorry guys) when I walked in, but the owner jumped right up to greet me and help me out (I didn't realize that he was the owner at that time). I showed them some pictures of what I was working with and asked if they had that buss bar or could get one, or something that I could use. He went off on one of the most in-depth, time consuming, all-encompassing SAR missions I think they might have had. about 30 minutes in, I thought they forgot about me, and I decided to leave. The son came out as I was getting into my truck, and asked if I was still interested in finding that buss bar. I felt stupid and told him that I thought they forgot about me, then he explained that his dad had been searching pretty much every nook and cranny of the warehouse in search of it or one that might work. So fast forward another 15-20 minutes and he emerged from the underworld of the VAST warehouse (no kidding, it's pretty impressive) and he had a buss bar that was similar and asked if it might work. I would have to modify it slightly, but it worked like a champ!! It was supposed to be temporary, but it worked so well, that it is the permanent component in that vacuum pump motor. So, short story long, give them a try FIRST! They are an awesome company and they really do go to great lengths to help their customers. From us here at Vacuum Engineering & Materials (VEM), THANK YOU for helping get this Vacuum Hot Press back up and running that afternoon! I couldn't have done it without your help. I appreciate your far reaching efforts!”
“Holy moly, Kristin Montoya knows her colors! We are beginning a renovation and I was absolutely lost about what color tiles, quartz, backsplash, etc to choose. I came in here and spent an hour with Kristin and walked out with an interior and exterior paint palette that would make even the Property Brothers jealous! Kristin is calm, has an exceptional style sense, and is incredibly helpful. Thanks to her help in establishing a palette, I was able to choose all of my finishes with ease! **Should also mention that Kristin is finishing her interior design degree - her expertise is apparent.**”

“If you're looking for the personable experience of a small hardware store with the selection of a commercial store, Olander's is the place to go. Barbara was very helpful. I will surely return next time I need hardware”
“First time I've been in AN ACE store in YEARS.
This store as soon as I got in I was nicely greeted and next was, can we help you find something.
So refreshing, wish they do that at Home Depot, right as you come in...
After you try and get the same experience, give me a thumbs up 👍 and as always - be blessed.”
“I really like this store and shop here often and they always have what I need. However, don't expect a lot of help... they tend to be a lower staffed store.”
“We rated Rexel 5 stars because they are a strategic partner to Fab9 EMS. Their dual role as both vendor and customer enables them to provide critical support across logistics, production, and business development. Their consistent reliability, proactive collaboration, and deep understanding of our operations make them an indispensable contributor to our growth and long-term success.

“Very knowledge and helpful staff. Chris went out of his way to help replace water hose connectors, which I wouldn't have been able to do it myself. The store is well stocked and has great variety, definitely going back.”
“I am a project manager for a distributor in Las Vegas. We do large commercial/industrial projects. Any time we need a breaker, hardware kit, or just about anything job related, these guy's are the BEST. Pricing, accuracy, the right product, fast service. The professional knowledge they have there is second to none. Even when UPS screws something up, they go well out of there way to make it right. They run a tight ship there with no B.S. !! I've worked for corrupt and shady breaker houses in the past and these guy's are the direct opposite. They are my go to guy's. Period.”

“If you ever need anything, ask for Demarcus Harris. He gets straight to the point, awesome guy, and helped us SO MUCH. Marcus, if you see this, you are the GOAT.”
“I prefer Ace Hardware over Home Depot or Lowe's because of the excellent friendly service from Charlie and Alec who will get you quick answers to your problems so that you don't have to spend hours trying to find an untrained person to help you at some of the larger home improvement stores. It's always a pleasure to visit this store location and I highly recommend Ace.”
“Better than home Depot for plumbing related products although it is now owned by Ferguson plumbing supply. You'll get better plumbing products from here... Friendly staff. Very helpful. Very knowledgeable”
“The folks at Sunnyvale Lumber are amazing! I came here after being recommended for my Eagle Project. They cut the wood down to size for me even though that is wasn't one of their standard sizes.”
“neat and has all sizes of bolts and screws and accessories in assorted boxes!
some other items may be a bit pricey but it is convenient and i love this place totally!”
“As a micro business, one man one truck operation, I rely on Bay Area Floor Machine to keep my equipment up and running. If my machine goes down, it’s an emergency to me. When that happens, I know I can rely on Jeff, at Bay Area Floor Machine to get me back up and running.”
“As a local Realtor, I frequently visit paint stores to stay updated on the latest paints, wood stains, and trending color patterns. Recently, I went to Dunn-Edwards Paints in Mountain View, CA. Despite arriving just a few minutes before closing, the manager on duty, Issac, took the time to educate me about their product line and provided me with the latest brochures. Issac demonstrated exceptional customer service and a deep knowledge of the products. I highly recommend this Dunn-Edwards Paints store.”
“Stopped by to see what was available. The employees were very nice and always checked in to make sure I was finding everything alright. Great selection of hardware needs generally speaking. Will definitely return soon!”
