“i’ve been going to this store for probably 40 years. the items they carry are largely geared to the local homeowners, as well as equestrian folks. people who work there are always nice. the prices are a little higher than home depot but considering the convenience i never think twice about it.”
“Amazing, friendly staff! I came in needing help securing something on my car, and they went above and beyond. They worked with the materials I already had, helped me buy only what I truly needed, and even took extra steps to make sure everything was secure. Their honesty and willingness to help—even when I just needed a better grip—really showed how much they value their customers. Highly recommend!”
“Very cool spot to stop in for some live music, a cold beer, and a tasty snack. The store has some interesting items and good prices. Awesome little homemade bakery too!”

251 California Ave, Palo Alto
Hardware Stores
“California Ave has long been home to great restaurants but totally lacking in hardware and homeowner goods. Cal Ave Hardware is great--the selection is floor-to-ceiling and the staff is very helpful. We needed some hardware for an oddball bike repair, and the local bike stores were a fail. Cal Ave Hardware had everything we needed and at half the price. The clerk had time and so helped us identify the hardware (3/8 x 24tpi) and find what we needed.”
“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?”
“Love this place I've been going here since I was a kid
Quality wood products and miscellaneous other products that are not always available other places, quality products for a fair price
And very knowledgeable people for any projects you might have”
“PV Hardware is the general store for Portola Valley. It has a bit of everything and is a reliable place for your hardware needs. The staff is friendly and the prices are good, especially for this town. It’s just a bit small and the selection can be a bit limited.”
“Wide selection of steel, brass, aluminum, copper, nuts and bolts hardware and stock. Helpful and professional help with any purchase or question. Even my wife gets ideas from a visit.”
“I was looking for a HVAC Supply House for a large project I'm working on. Mainly nonmachanical, but still needed some HVAC supplies, for my Sub. This supply house has been a Blessing! Luckily I started working with Chad from the beginning, down to earth guy who is super helpful! The whole crew is helping, but Chad's the man! I'm glad I found them, and wish them great success”
“The manager was very patient while helping me. I went to this hardware store with a unique plumbing challenge. Needed hardware and water supply tubing for a commercial ice maker. The existing fittings were male compression. Super patient, excellent customer service, and went way beyond reasonable expectations helping me find what I needed.”
“Great place! It's so much fun going in here and they really do have what you need for most construction needs. Remember to get your ice cream while you're there!”
“We had Oros help us with plumbing questions and he was amazingly helpful. We were able to fix our plumbing issues without paying the outrageous plumber fees. We are so grateful that we have this wonderful neighborhood resource!! Thank you Oris!”
“I worked with Demarcus Harris who helped me with a warrenty replacement on a 40 Gallon water heater (cal-steam did not sell me the original one). He was awesome! He also set me up with an awesome plumber Pedro D. to do the warranty replacement install. It all went very smoothly. Also, when I was at store it seemed like all the employees were kind, knowledgable, and having fun! I would definitely recommend working with Cal-Steam in redwood city.”
“It's O.K. I was on hold for 15 minutes then got transferred to voicemail and had to call back. But they did get a last minute Friday order ready for pick up in under 40 minutes for me. Online payment was easy and nice, I was able to send it straight to my customer and have them pay. The yard hand that helped me load was fantastic and funny. In and out in record time.”
“This store is a gem! Run by a friendly husband & wife, this is an amazing place to get quality machinist tools, tooling, and INFO. Ask them; they're happy to share their knowledge.”
“Giving my shoutout to Jake. Thank you so much for your help in the gardening section!! He went above and beyond to help me with my visit today from making my section of a fruit tree to carrying the heavy soil to my car. There's a closer Ace where I live, but it's not as friendly as this location. I would definitely make my way down here again for my gardening needs.”

40 El Camino Real, San Carlos
Hardware Stores
“The most helpful and well stocked woodworking store I’ve ever been to. So incredibly helpful. Will only be shopping here from now on. Stains, dyes, tools, accessories, exotic wood, drills, saws, and fun things! Manager and owner were there and you can tell they love what they do!”
“Friendliest paint store on the Peninsula!! Been coming here for years! In addition to providing beautiful, quality paint, they also help you recycle old paint too!!!”
“Went in for some CO2 and Helium. JR was extremely helpful and fair. Much better place for customer service than Air Gas. I'll definitely go back when I run out.”
“Great local hardware shop with friendly and helpful staff. They have nearly anything you'd need from a hardware store so you can support these locally run shops instead of Home Depot or Lowe's.
I recently bought some light chain to make a clothes line with in the garage and it worked like a charm (use hangers instead of clothes pins).”
“Was looking for information on gas cylinders and exchange costs for my company. Sammy took care of everything I needed and was not only friendly and highly competent, he was very professional and HONEST which is exceptionally rare today. Thank you for putting up with all of my questions and generously sharing your knowledge and experience - you saved me hours of research.”
“Great selection of American and European quality tools. Found some unique items and will return for other stuff I wanna get. I asked for help and asked a few questions. The guys at the store were helpful and kind.”
“I’ve used Bayshore recently due to a house project for lights and replacing an older sink part. Great attentive service no matter how much I spent and willing to go the extra mile to help me get a part one day by staying after closing time. I’ll be using them much more in the future.”
“I have been both a vendor and a client to Redwood Rental for many years. They are great people and will do whatever it takes to help with your construction project or equipment rental. Highly recommended!”
“Gillian was a big lifesaver when it came to my entire home renovation needs. With an interior design background, Gillian saw a vision for my home when I couldn’t. Overwhelmed by the selection of hardware, Gillian meticulously narrowed down my hardware needs for my entire home based on my home design. She put my anxiety & mind at ease, while minimizing my work load having her professionalism and gracious support. I am beyond grateful to have made Gillian’s acquaintance, as she exceeded my expectations with her expertise.”

“I am so glad I found this store!! I went in looking to see if they had horse related items and they DID!!! I found halters, fly spray, supplements, dewormers, brushes, hoof picks and shavings. I know they also have pellets/grains too. It had everything I needed! And they have Peepers! If you don't know what they are, they are really fun and useful reading glasses. Staff were super helpful and kind. This will be my go-to place for sure!!”
