“First time at this location. Came to follow Mik/Kim from their Central Ave location that closed. Happy to see Lacy there from that store too. Love these people and am happy to support this local business with amazing customer service and people that really know what you need. Thank you!”
“My boyfriend and I stop by here at least a couple times a month because it's close to his place, we both like supporting local businesses, and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. When it came time to upgrade his grill, my boyfriend wanted to patronize the Moraga Ace. He had spent a couple of weeks researching grills, and we went to several stores to look at their inventory. In the end, the grill we chose was not in stock at Moraga Ace, so the owner, Bill, worked with us directly to order the grill. He and his staff assembled and delivered the grill, then Bill gave us several tips on where to put the grill in the backyard and made sure that we were both comfortable connecting and disconnecting the propane tank, turning the propane on, and lighting the various burners. Then he gave us a few tips about how to grill different types of meats and veggies! He even threw in a complimentary long-handled grill brush. Later that weekend, we dropped in for some non-grill-related items and Bill made sure to greet us and ask how the new grill was working out for us. :)”

They even had a young man walk me out to my car carrying my items. I’m looking forward to my next visit.”
“Eric helped me find the right finely-threaded m3 screws and a few tools to custom mount a CPU cooler and get my computer running smoother than ever! Like the whole store, the hardware aisle(nuts and bolts) is comprehensive, but the people make it the place to go.”

1478 Contra Costa Blvd, Pleasant Hill“I had these guys construct me a monstrosity of a cover for a large 130 year old antique cabinet. Jesse was the one who helped me, awesome customer service and he knew his stuff! He called me to give me an eta, then they called me on that day to tell me it was done! I picked up the piece today and the lady who took my payment was funny and friendly! The piece it fit perfectly over my cabinet! They did a great job on the dimensions. There was a little hiccup with some scratches, but the boss took care of me, very kindly and professionally. These guys really went the extra mile to make my custom piece. So it's all good in the hood and IThanks, Tap Plastics!”
“This place is absolutely the best. I had never heard of Dunn Edwards before but am so glad I decided to stop in. Lex is so nice, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and just simply amazing. The rest of the staff is also very nice and welcoming every time I stop by. I had been to other paint stores before I decided to purchase from here but the experience was not even close. I mean they were polite and all but not as thorough. Lex asked great questions and made me think about things I would’ve never thought about which helped me make good decisions when picking out colors, quality, etc. I am planning on painting my whole house, inside and out, and will continue to purchase from here thanks to Lex. (PS I am not a reviewer as it is too time consuming in my opinion but Lex and Dunn Edwards PH deserve this one.)”
“Last week, I purchased a pizza slicer from another store, but it broke when I attempted to use it. I came to Laurel Ace to get a replacement because I know that its products are sturdy.
Marcos, the associate who assisted me, not only directed me to the proper aisle, but, to my surprise and gratification, TESTED the slicer to make sure that it would hold up! As if this wasn't enough, I also told me that I could bring it back if I had any problems.
I ALWAYS get great service at my neighborhood Ace, but young Marcos is among the BEST associates who I've ever been blessed to deal with. You can NEVER lose by going to Laurel Ace, particularly if he assists you.”
8AM - 4:30PM
2411 Old Crow Canyon Rd Suite L, San Ramon“We remodeled our entire home from floor to ceiling and used multiple vendors and contractors. Apple Blossom is far and away the best people we've interacted with.
We've ordered ten doors + hinges and hardware + baseboards/trims/mouldings for the whole house over a span of 2-3 years and Apple blossom has been amazing every single time.
The team has consistently gone above and beyond spending time to help us design each step. Tony always makes sure we have every detail right for the doors and Melissa and the rest of the team spent hands on time helping us style and construct all the trims.
If you're in the Tri-Valley area, Apple Blossom is the best there is.”
“I love J&M. They have every fastener you could ever need, and they are incredibly helpful. They were a key partner during our build out of a tiny house on wheels -- something I had never done before. There were dozens of times when we had no clue what bolt or screw was needed for the stage we were at. But Justin and the crew always helped me find just the right thing -- even when I didn't know what it was called! They have a great inventory, and I love that they also carry premium drill bits and Diablo saw blades. If you need any sort of fastener, I'd go here before ever heading to a general hardware store. Below are some pictures of the tiny house on wheels that we built with 30 female high school students. J&M's fasteners were used in EVERY piece of the construction, and we're so thankful to have them as a partner.”
6AM - 10PM
1899-1801 Roux Ct, Martinez“It's a large hardware do it yourself store. Probably the easiest is to order online and pick up at the store. Or to look up the item ahead of time and write down the isle and the bay the item is otherwise you'll spend the time ready each isles contents if you don't come here a lot. Those are my helpful tips.”
