“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Wonderful hardware store with a full selection of boat/marine focused items & knowledgeable staff. We were able to find the correct fuel for our boat's stove, thanks to the associate. Also has all the typical hardware items, including a room full of every screw and bolt you might be looking for.”
“I always love coming to Cliffs Variety. As someone who loves to craft, this store is paradise for me! They have amazing quality and affordable friendship bracelet thread. They also have paints, fabric, and so many more things for whatever arts and craft project you want to do. Visit Cliffs Variety and you won’t be disappointed!”
“This is easily the best plumbing store in the city. The staff are awesome and also so knowledgeable on all aspects of plumbing. I highly recommend for anyone needing plumbing materials, the guys will have you covered . Also their prices are so reasonable and more importantly the quality of their products are A+ . I highly recommend:)”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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”
“This location has stepped up its game. When you walk in they greet you and the store looks amazing. I been shopping here for years and that wasn't the case years ago. Great improvement!!!”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
