“Great service again today. I have to say after working in several companies - and from walking into countless - if an employee is comfortable and happy they sometimes sing while working. In this store I heard a beautiful voice singing. I'm not asking for singing. Just an observation of how seemingly everything feels alright here.”

“We came into Ashby on a whim and wanted to get some ideas/information on options for an upcoming bathroom remodel. We were greeted by Nikhi, who listened to our design wants and needs. She printed product specification sheets and provided pricing for a few different options we liked. She didn't mention that they were closing in 5 minutes, instead, she made sure we had what we needed to discuss what we learned and make decisions from home. Helpful, friendly, patient. We'll be back.”

“The best customer service ever! Whenever I've needed help with a plumbing or other crisis, I've brought in a photo of the problem, was given clear instructions on how to repair the issue, the parts I needed... Jay, the owner, and other employees have always been respectful, helpful... never condescending as I'd experienced in other hardware stores which I thought was because I was female and seemingly stressed.”

“Harbor Freight has come a long way from bargain-basement tools to quality tools at reasonable prices. They sell toolboxes that excel at a great price. Their torx sockets are high quality and don't distort with higher torque. I could go on... This store is a gem. They have great customer assistance, and the lines are never that bad, unlike other HF stores. The manager actually works the floor and exudes knowledge about the inventory. Employees share the attributes.”

“Unexpectedly broad inventory of products and great selection within categories they carry. They have everything a handyman needs at a competitive price with far less chaos than lowes/home depot.”

“Made a last minute order, not expecting to receive my carving tools before a trip abroad. Lucky for me, my order was processed overnight and my package reached me in time to use it on my trip. Super professional, will definitely order more tools in the future.”

“Today, I received exceptional customer service from Damion at the Rockridge Cole Hardware. He went out of his way to be helpful, kind, caring plus extremely informative about what I was looking for. It reminded me of how every employees has been towards me since Cole Hardware established itself in the neighborhood in 2016. Yes, you probably could get some of their items a few dollars cheaper on Amazon but great in person customer service is priceless. There's an energy to it that is really extremely special these days. Please support this local business and its fantastic hard working employees. Next time you need to get that random item, call or text Cole Hardware at 510.230.0145 to see if they have it. I prefer text and usually someone will get back to me fairly quickly, no matter what time of the day!”

“Tools and consumables on the cheap. Not at all a "hardware" store. Admittedly they do carry some hardware, but VERY little. Low quality barely worth mentioning. Check out the clearance area in the back right corner of the store.”

“Wonderful neighborhood Ace. They have pretty much everything to save you in a pinch and also a lot of the day to day needs as well. Also their open hours are much better than the other local Ace hardware stores.”

“If you need advice on your project, these folks (thanks, Dan!) will help you out.Excellent service, even on busy days: I just went in on a busy Saturday at noon, and I only had to wait about 4 mins. after taking a ticket, and an employee walked over to help me.Other reviewers complain about the hours, but *it’s a small business* so of course they don’t have Home Depot hours.Almost every single experience here over the years has been stellar, which is about the best you can expect from anywhere.”

“I've been purchasing construction materials and lumber from Truitt & White for around 12 years now. They have a good selection of materials, and most of the lumber is typically in stock. On the occasion that I needed to place a special order for lumber, they received it quickly. Their customer service is good. The staff is knowledgeable and well-informed about their products. Furthermore, the employees in the yard, whom I have known for years, are always friendly and helpful.”

“Great service as usual on this rainy 18 Dec 2023 afternoon. All your sand bag and flood mgt needs are here. A few sizes of the Quick Dam products. 50# bags of playground sand. You can grab a tag and just one bag then tell the cashier the total number of bags you want and someone will bring all those 50# bags out to your car/truck for you and load them in. They also have sand bags if you need those too. Hello El Niño Winter!”

“We have been going to Eastern Supply for over 30 years. It is a truly rare event when they don't have what we are looking for. Well stocked, good service & advice. This store makes such a good neighbor & we would be truly lost without it”

“Telegraph hardware is small and packed to the rafters with stuff. I come here often due to ease of access, and it's always quick in quick out. The owners seem to be the only employees, and while they don't know much about hardware or repair topics they do know their stock. A quick ask will get you to the right place. The same owners run True Value Eastern near Berkeley Bowl. They let me bring my bike in for safety from theft, a good thing.”

“Today I had a great visit my first time to Ashby, plumbing and heating. They allowed me to come behind the register for my purchase. It was smooth and easy, and I was able to pick up exactly what I needed right around the corner from my place. Love it.”

“I ran all over the East Bay & made half a dozen phone calls before I got here. I was trying to make custom power steering hoses for a hot rod project. When I finally got here, I found what seems to be the only competent hydraulics shop left between Richmond and Alameda, as far inland as San Leandro. Maybe that's not quite fair, but these guys got the hoses I needed made within 45 minutes, at a very fair price, and threw in a scrap of fuel filler hose just for the heck of it. I won't bother going anywhere else now that I know how good Hoses Unlimited is.”

“Excellent service great people.little.pricey but good at first both guys in front counter seemed bothered by the. Questions I was asking as if km supposed to.know everything about the store and items they sale can see how if I'm was not a contractor this would not be the place I want to visit not supper nice even a little.rude at first richard came to help after the first guy look frustrated about my.questions all I wanted was to know about some colors for concrete most places have it by name but here that are sorted by number so I didn't know this Richard took more time.to.explain to me the difference and prices and such ended up spending over 300 dollars in tools and stuff... again not very friendly but ok place to buy I saw some regulars came in and the guy was kicking around with them and stuff I think he just doesn't like to.deal with people that has questions which sucks because that's why you should go to a place that specializes in stuff like this”

“This place has a little of everything and a good variety too! Everything you might need .. they usually have it unless they're out! I really like the staff there as they are customer oriented and seem to really want to be helpful With whatever home needs you might have and have been very helpful when I have absolutely no idea what to do to fix a home situation and have been great about providing me with suggestions / options! Now for the bad part... Parking! That part of town has over the years been turned into a one way/ wrong way street area with only metered curbside parking if you can find one close by. That is the only downside to this place but otherwise it's a "Thumbs Up" from me!”

“Over ten years ago, I filled my CO2 tank for $12. I remember but going up to $18. Today, it was $71. I don't know if this is because Atlas is no longer an independent, local business, but OUCH.”
