“The people there were attentive without feeling like one was monitoring you. Before leaving because I couldn't find what I was looking for I was stopped by a staff and he genuinely asked if I found everything I was looking for. My response was no and I went into detail what I was looking for. Afterward, he told me a relatable story and helped me find what I was looking for and it was much, much cheaper than buying it through Amazon. Rex, you are awesome and I greatly appreciate the relevant story and your assistance.”

“I have been going to 701 Bayshore location for the last 1 year ( after did not get good service from other KellyMoore location). I love the staff here especially Jose Wu. The staff greet us the moment we step foot in the store. They make sure we got what we need and provide professional feedback to make sure we got the right materials. Jose tried many times to make sure he matches the right colors of the sample. This dedication of service is much needed nowadays. The selection of materials are plenty and the store is well organized and clean.Thank you to staff and especially Jose at this location.”

“Great guys! I was recycling some old paint I found in my garage, 7 gallons. I called & asked if there were any problems with me dropping off some old paint? The gentleman I spoke with said not @ all. When I arrived one of the salesmen came out to my car & helped me . I was quite impressed since I hadn't purchased anything. I've done business with them in the past & always left satisfied. The store is well lit & spacious, easy to find what you might need. Both gentlemen I spoke with were friendly, helpful , courteous & professionals. I left knowing this is a 'neighborhood' friendly business. It's refreshing to know not everyone is looking to make a buck ! Of course I'll be back for all my home painting projects.”

“This place is an amazing resource due to the expertise of Matt and Yutong. Matt is always on hand, and I was surprised to learn he works six days/week. Surely the management at Creative Paint can take better care of this valuable employee and expert advisor to us all.”

“Needed some applewood pellets for my smoker. I called, they told me they stored the pellets away for the season but happy to check to see if they had the applewood. They did and brought up a bag from storage and had it at the counter for me when I came to pick it up. Needed it because I'm making homemade bacon”

“I don't remember names but the guys and one gal at Dunn-Edwards were great helping me find the right type of paint. I told them I did not know what the hell I was doing and from that point to about 15-minutes later-done. I went to my car to check in with neighbors and the painter and came back on the same day to pick up the paint, Apricot Glow.”

“Initially in love with the Wabi color, the team's suggestion of a layering technique caught my interest. Exploring their showroom, I settled on a blend of 200% Habitat and 150% Wabi—an absolute favorite. Natalie, the wonderful woman who assisted me, patiently showcased various options.Check out the attached photos taken at different times; they perfectly capture the charm. Pro tip: Colors can be tricky, so always test samples. Color Atelier not only knows their stuff but also goes the extra mile for customer satisfaction, especially with unique requests. I wholeheartedly recommend them for their expertise and personalized touch”

“We always purchased gallons of paint for our Building at Kelly-Moore and this time was no difference. We brought paint chips to have a color matched. The young Asian male lend his assistance to me even though his co-worker, an African American female had told me that I brought an insufficient amount of paint chips for the matching. The Asian male was exceptionally courteous and helpful and he successfully matched the color and provided me with a gallon of paint that I needed to cover the graffiti on our Building. Thank you, Sir!!”

“Service was fantastic -- I walked in knowing very little about what products I needed to paint a room and stain my backyard fence and walked out really feeling like I knew how to approach the projects. Francisco was really wonderful. And they carried everything to my car.”

“I was so happy to visit this Benjamin Moore store. I was greeted by their friendly staff and Adela helped me out diligently. She listened to my needs, picked out all the colors I was looking for and more, and gave really great suggestions on how to proceed. It's my first time shopping for paint and she made me feel really good about the process. This store is a bit of a drive but I will be sure to come back because of her expertise, guidance and kindness.”

“While I always enjoy going into Cole Hardware, Kevin really exceeded my expectations earlier this week. I had a major issue with paint spilling into my car and he was patient and kind - recommended the best products for me and helped me when I was in dire need. No more suburb hardware stores for me - it's Cole Hardware on Polk every time. Thanks Kevin - you're the best!”

“Very quick service. I got my duplicate keys made here. Reached just half an hour before closing time and I was out of the store in 5 minutes. I also called before going to confirm they make duplicate keys or not. Great Service. Thanks.”

“Mike was a pleasure to work with! We hired them after discovering that our previous drywall contractor would be unable to complete the job by the end of the summer. Due to water damage, we needed to re-drywall a garage. That is, the ceiling + insulation. Very professional and prompt service. I'd use it again.”

“From 1992 to 1995, I lived around the block, and I bought lots at Cole Hardware. I moved away in 1995, then returned in 2010. My wife and I have a house about a mile and then a smidge, away from this location. That means, after a fire consumed our neighborhood go-to, Progress Hardware, this business is once again the closest place for tools and sundries. So probably I have had a half dozen keys made there and stopped in a dozen times since the start of the pandemic. It is convenient. The prices are not an outrage. The truth is, for most items, I order online. But sometimes you need to buy whatever it is right that instant, in order to use it. And it is good to have a neighborhood shop such as this. That means we have to patronize it. Their customer service is excellent. They are friendly. It's the sort of business you feel good about having around. I hope enough people continue to shop there that they thrive. We would regret it otherwise. So pick up some nuts and bolts or fertilizer.”

“Excellent Service, resulting from strong knowledge and actually caring about their customers. Gives them a small town community hardware store feel, with the inventory one would expect in a city. Love this place.”

“This store has everything! Amazing selection! I have found that other stores are not as diverse! These guys are awesome! I could not decide between 2 products and they helped me compare them line by line. Invaluable service ! I value my experience and my purchase!”

“Great staff and one can always find parking. They will help you recycle old paint. They also help bring your paint to your vehicle. Highly recommend this specific location.”

“More costly compared to Lowe's, but service is well worth the difference. If you can't find parking space they will take paint to your car. Selection is what is expected from Benjamin Moore.”

“When our contractor recommended picking up some items for our remodel from Chu Supplies, I initially was dubious - both of the quality of the items the store would have available and the customer service. But I was very happy to be proven wrong on both issues! First, let me help set your expectations. This isn't a big box store like Home Depot where you have easy access to resources (e.g., online guides or in-person staff) to help guide and/or make informed decisions about what to buy. If you have no idea what you need to buy, it probably will be less frustrating for everyone involved if you did some research on your own (or in consultation with your contractor) before going to the store. Having said that, Wallace and Kent at the front counters are great and super helpful! Yes, it helps if you speak Cantonese, but their English (especially Wallace's) is very good. Together, they are the perfect odd "couple" - Wallace has a more easy-going, patient vibe, while Kent is super efficient and straight-to-the-point. As far as I can tell, they carry - or at least, can order - many of the items that you can buy from a big box store for a cheaper price point. From cheaper, generic, hollow core doors to VELUX skylights to high end tankless water heaters, etc. Just keep in mind that each of their locations specialize/carry different categories of products. There may be cheaper options out there, but the combination of location, price, and return policy makes Chu Supplies an excellent choice in my book!”

“Called the S Van Ness store after having a bad experience at the Geary store. I was immediately impressed during my phone call and quick, and welcoming service answering my questions & delivering exactly what I needed. I can go anywhere but the friendly staff will bring me back for sure!!”
