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.

The BEST neighborhood hardware store and home problem solver. Whenever I have a repair/handy person problem in our home or yard, I go to the Kensington Hardware team for problem solving advice. Every staff person listens, looks at my pictures of the problem, and gives me advice that has ALWAYS worked. Been doing this for the 12 years since we moved into our home nearby. No other bigger or specialty hardware store in the region (and we have many great ones) has given me such consistently helpful handy-person advice. They also manage to have almost all the hardware supplies I need even though their square footage is so much smaller than many other Aces that are farther away or big box stores. They are a HUGE time and money saver for us in maintaining and improving our home!

I used to shop here. Not anymore. The guy wouldn't help me find the correct screws I needed for my project even when I came back a second time and said I couldn't find them. I had to drive down the hill to El Cerrito Ace where they have consistent customer service. I pay extra at Ace compared to Home Depot because of the customer service. No customer service? I can go to Home Depot for that.

As many others have mentioned, this store is great when you want to buy something but horrendous if you need to return it. I used to speak so highly of this local ACE Hardware, but after both people working there were incredibly patronizing and rude after I tried to return an item that did not work, they've lost another customer. Go to the one on San Pablo or the one Downtown - they treat their customers like patrons rather than pests.

Great service and a solid selection of hardware, accessories, and supplies for most household projects. The staff is always very friendly and helpful, and I can almost always find what I need, from gardening supplies to plumbing to furniture refinishing. Plus basics like light bulbs, tools, and nails/screws/nuts/bolts. It's a great resource for the community. I love it.

These are the most helpful hardware guys in the bay area! They have a good selection, and they will help you find anything, or give you advice. They are super nice to my disabled kid. Ditch the other hardware stores and go here!

Great customer service, but I had to give it 4 stars since they don't accept Apple Pay. Once they do, I'd happily change my review to 5 stars! P.S. - Went back in to get some dowel rods, and the sweet guy behind the counter offered to measure and cut them for me. Love this place!

Stopped by this morning! Both of the folks working were super friendly and helpful!! Will definitely stop by again!I have one minor irk: the parking lot probably hold 30 cars, but I couldn't find a bike rack at all. While I was there, there was exactly 1 car in the lot (person was sitting in the car, not shopping). I locked my bike to the pole for the handicapped spot, but that can only hold one bike and there weren't obvious other spots to lock one. As I was leaving, another cyclist was arriving and he had to lock his bike to the same pole. Removing one of these car spaces to add a bike rack would make the shop so much more appealing for cyclists!
