Hardware Stores in San Jose, CA

“Helpful staff. Good variety of household goods. I picked up some paint and a few other items....thought they were well supplied. I believe I had a groupon for this spot, which turned out great since I ended up having to purchase paint after I needed some repairs at home. I definitely recommend this spot.”

“I was looking for some SquareD quad breakers to add a surge protector to my solar PV load center that had all spaces full. Those breakers have been discontinued and are nearly impossible to find since the start of the pandemic. Fortunately, EPC had several suitable models. Unfortunately, the price for that breaker was out of this world. It would have cost less in parts to buy a new larger panel and new breakers. However, with labor rates, it still made sense to pay several times the MSRP for the breaker.”

“My business has been doing business with royal brass for years now. They have built us custom brake lines, custom power steering lines, and built us custom fittings. They are very professional and knowledgeable. They are experts in their field. Thank you for always taking care of us in a timely manner.”

“This store...where do I begin? Open your imagination to include all the many needs you never would have considered possible to be fulfilled by a plastics retailer. Whether it is a display box for memorabilia, a picture frame of museum quality, a replacement part for a boat, clear roofing for a pergola, an All-Gender restroom sign, mold making materials, fiberglass for boat and car repairs, signage displays...I could go on for awhile, still failing to capture the extent of this store's possibilities. The service is fast and it is done professionally. A mistake, while uncommon, is corrected with haste. The price - for the quality, speed, and accuracy (that is, in how they turn what was once only a dream into reality) - is well worth it. TAP is unmatched in the plastic retailer marketplace; no other store can come close.”

“Holy moly, Kristin Montoya knows her colors! We are beginning a renovation and I was absolutely lost about what color tiles, quartz, backsplash, etc to choose. I came in here and spent an hour with Kristin and walked out with an interior and exterior paint palette that would make even the Property Brothers jealous! Kristin is calm, has an exceptional style sense, and is incredibly helpful. Thanks to her help in establishing a palette, I was able to choose all of my finishes with ease! **Should also mention that Kristin is finishing her interior design degree - her expertise is apparent.**”

“Okay I came all the way down here from Oakland. Just to check the place out. And it was awesome all the power tools, bits, gloves, options you need are right here with some of the most professional staff I have ever met.This place is a hidden gem.And yes they had my gloves in my sizes. 2x and 3x.Thank you to everyone that worksHereTo get here on the bus it's right off the vta 66 or 68 bus line.”

“My go to place for plumbing supply and electrical about 20% less then home box stores and the guys behind the counter know what there selling American Ace Supply several locations in the bay area”

“The service here is outstanding, the employees are always willing to answer questions, and seem like genuinely good people. Hardware stores seem to be places where anxious folks show up with problems, and are looking for solutions in terms of help, experience, or simply the right tool. This is the one place in the Santa Clara valley where I've never been steered wrong, and with the rockery, nursery and a full slate of tools/supplies - I can always find what I need. Other businesses should take a lesson from them on how to handle even the most befuddled, or anxiety-riddled customer with grace. Great store, and I hope they don't change.”

“Went there to buy a machete for the garden and Teddy (big shoutout to Teddy) was phenomenal in helping me find it, inquire about the price match (online price match with Amazon) and definitely with the eventual purchase as he let the cashier know about the price match.He did walk me through the options available as well and definitely helped me by making visit short quick and to the point. The checkout process was pretty efficient as well and i would highly recommend the store for your H/W needs.”

“This is by far and away the best paint store I have ever visited. The manager and staff are always super helpful and make sure I leave with the best products for the the job I am undertaking. A special shout out to Melissa, who on several occasions has assisted my wife with picking out colors for her business. On those occasions she has gone above and beyond. Thank you!”

“I decided to install a new kitchen main faucet, under-sink 3-stage water filter with dedicated drinking water faucet. The filter is connected to a tee off the cold water input. All components ordered separately so I was facing the difficult task of finding the correct hoses and fittings to connect everything together. I knew if I went to Home Depot or Lowe's I would not get expert advise, so I drove to Ferguson Plumbing and Supply with a diagram I drew. It was a good decision, I was helped immediately in a friendly manner and within a few minutes all the correct lines and fittings were selected for me. Everything was correct and the project was completed with no issues. I am very happy with my experience and would highly recommend Ferguson to anyone planning a DIY plumbing project, they have a comprehensive selection of fittings and tools with expert salespeople.”

“I would rather drive out further to go this store location all thanks to Rob. He is the best person to go to for advice of paint colors , quality , etc . He explained so well that by the time I left, I was able to get more than 12 plus gallons. Wyatt is also very good . My favorite store for best quality paint and services I can count on every-time !”

“When my husband I and finally decided to tackle some repairs to the façade of our home, we decided to get a new front door, as well. I started to look at Google images for what I wanted and promptly found the most obscure mid-century modern "diamond door" of my dreams. Luckily, our most excellent contractor (Ted Tamone) pointed us in the direction of Pacific Doorcraft. When I entered the showroom, I was greeted by Andrew (owner), who quickly became as excited about my vision as I was, and quickly gave me some options for pulling everything together. When I returned to the showroom with my husband to hammer out the details, we met with Ivan, who very patiently explained what would be needed in terms of the type of wood, glass, staining options, and of course, hardware. Ivan was always available for questions and replied to our emails, texts, and phone calls promptly. He even found a way to have the fluted glass cut on the bias, so that it would be vertical, to fit the diamond shape, rather than installed on an angle to fit the square shape, for which I thought we would have to settle. I cannot express how happy we are with our new front door, and with the excellent service we received at Pacific Doorcraft!”

“Came here for a tarp and found out they also have a lot of tools at really good prices! Friendly service as well. The 12x20 tarp I purchased for my Costco tent really well.”

“I have been going to Benjamin Moore Creative Paint on Camden Avenue for many years. The customer service is outstanding. Both Ariel and Matt have helped me a great deal in selecting paint colors. I bring photos and samples (e.g., tile, bedding, fabric) to the store and Ariel helps me select the best colors for my project. Matt is usually at another store location but he has done a terrific job in custom matching paint. They are both fabulous!!! They have a great eye for color. And, of course, Benjamin Moore is the top quality paint! Plus, the small sample cans of paint colors are a real bargain and extremely helpful in finding the perfect color.”

“Excellent store if you're looking for ant plumbing parts. They have good selection of products that much better than Home Depot or Lowe's. Their price only a bit higher but definitely higher quality. I also enjoyed personal attention from knowledgeable and friendly staff. Highly recommend.”

“First timers to this store don't get lost if your navigating with Google maps. Make the first right turn passing the gas station and follow the curve road and on your left view the Winsupply store sign greets you.”

“I needed to revamp my kitchen, so I visited the hardware store for supplies. The quality of their products is exceptional. The kitchen cabinets and tools I bought were robust and durable, giving my kitchen a modern look. The prices were reasonable, and the products were worth every penny. I highly recommend this store for anyone looking for top-notch hardware supplies.”

“We recently moved into a home with a unique lock and I needed to visit a specialty hardware store to buy a replacement.Alum Rock Hardware, Windows & Doors popped up as close by and had great reviews, so I stopped in. I spent quite a while talking to Wayne who gave me a great education on lock types, showed me what kind of lock my home has and how to use it, talked me through options of replacing the lock and/or replacing the door, how to repair what I have vs replace, etc. I was so grateful for all the knowledge he shared and we ended up coming up with a game plan together.It was great to find such a genuine, honest, and helpful company to work with. No high pressure sales pitch, just working with the customer to find out what they need and help them get it even if there may be other, more expensive, options that would benefit the company more. I was very impressed, and so grateful to have found Wayne and Alum Rock Hardware, Windows & Doors. I highly recommend them and plan to use them for all future door and window needs as well.”

“The one stop Janitorial. Been doing this janitorial since 1976 . By far Jose and his dad have treated my company as a valued client. Always smiles and good vibes they have earned my loyalty.”

“Always a mistake if I don’t shop here for paint or stain - they carry the better quality goods - sry no photo but I know once these guys warm up to you - you’ll get some good guidance - they do help discuss color selection too ……”

“Very surprised that a such a small place would have so many power tools, whether heavy duty or diy amateurs like me. Love the big guy in the front. Even when he's busy, he would still take the time to remind me of the coupons. Of course, some of the items they have are not big brand names or not of top-notch quality but they are cheap. Great for someone like me. I love to have all the tools and Harbor has made it easy for me to buy.”

“Daniel, Mario, Tom, Mauricio, Cebastion, Jj and all the workers from the warehouse thank you very much! This is a super powerful team that helps me every day, answers my questions, finds the necessary equipment, prepares and delivers the equipment. I have been in business with Ferguson HVAC for the past 4 months, calling, writing and visiting the supply house almost every day and all the time I get all the help I need.Without exaggeration, Ferguson is an excellent company to do business with and the best team of employees!”

“I am a project manager for a distributor in Las Vegas. We do large commercial/industrial projects. Any time we need a breaker, hardware kit, or just about anything job related, these guy's are the BEST. Pricing, accuracy, the right product, fast service. The professional knowledge they have there is second to none. Even when UPS screws something up, they go well out of there way to make it right. They run a tight ship there with no B.S. !! I've worked for corrupt and shady breaker houses in the past and these guy's are the direct opposite. They are my go to guy's. Period.”

“Don't have a lot of room so lets make this short. First, I am a Taper and have been taping for the last 13 years. It has been my pride and honor, my bread and butter, and honestly one of the best things that I have taken the time to learn how to do with my hands. Within the time of my short career, there have been many a stores that I have came across to try out, and to see what they have to offer to make my job easier and more enjoyable, and if you live in the bay area, there really arn't too many places that you can go to for the specialized craft of taping besides AMES. However, among the few and far between each AMES location has its own values, merits, and above all, personality. When you are looking at a full day of sanding, or a full day of running the box, it's the small things that can make or break your attitude for the day. With that said, there are not many places within the U.S. that can measure up to the service, the knowledge, and the good vibes that Estella and Victoria provide. These two are the dynamic duo to the fullest and are honestly the main reason I return to this specific location day after day for all of my taping needs! Estella, the Grand Master of making things happen and knowing all things taping. If you are a taper, or if you know a taper, or if you run your own company of tapers, you know Estella. Estella is the backbone of this location and from the amount of information that flows through her, at times, it feels like this company, I honestly don't know what they would do without her. Ever time I have walked through those doors she has always greeted me with respect and put me up on game from the time to I was an apprentice, to now where I am a journeyman standing on my own. Some of the best customer service in the industry could be learned from this woman. She has always gone above and beyond for her clients and customers, specially when a payment was due! lol But also more than that, whatever special tool that you needed, she was right there on phone trying her best to get it in her shop, whatever new tool that came out, she gave her honest opinion about it. Among other things, she was and always will be the Godmother!! Victoria, next to every Queen is another one that has the others back! and this is what Victoria was to Estella, another Queen that had her back. From what I have seen throughout my years she has really grown into herself and has held her own. Dare I say, Victoria is one of the best assets that this company has. These days, it's hard to find someone with the same spirit, determination, and dedication to her job than Victoria. She has just as much knowledge as Estella and always has a big smile while she is at work. I look forward to conducting my business with her every time I walk through those doors with the name AMES on them. I don't believe that I have ever walked in to the store and they have ever been backed up when it came to paperwork, or inventory. Even if Victoria had a lot of work to do she has always put the customer first which I have always appreciated. She is such a hard worker, I think any company would be lucky to have her. I can see her as being a manager of her own store someday, I know she deserves it! All in all, I have been to all of the AMES locations in the bay area and with everything that I have just wrote I'm sure that you can tell why. This is one of the best locations that AMES has to offer. Superior Drywall Applications (My company) definitely recommends AMES to get all of your taping needs, and this location specifically due to the overwhelming support one receives from these ladies who run this shop. They truly are the best, and any company would be stupid to loose these two wonderful employees willingly, just the same as they would be lucky to have them, in which this case, this company is!”

“I recently visited Diridon Station Ace Hardware and was blown away by the extensive range of high-quality products they offer. Whether you're a seasoned contractor or enthusiast like myself, you'll find everything you need under one roof. The store is well-stocked, and I appreciate the attention to detail in keeping it clean and organized.”

“I found the peet moss I was looking for here to help keep the soil moist for the new plants I just got. The store rep who helped me seemed like he new the layout well, but I didn't spend too much time there. Overall, friendly experience, and the place is organized.”

“I work in the semiconductor industry and have been coming here for 10 -12 years. Over that time I have mostly been satisfied by the selection here at Western. I just referred a South Korean associate to Western for his R&D needs. I recommend Western Tool and Supply.”

“This place is the best! Not only did they save us by having PPE during the pandemic, but they are the most friendly and helpful. We used them for business and for home. You do not have to have a cleaning business. They have top grade sanitizers, nitrile gloves, Purell stands, and glass cleaner. I highly recommend them!”
