Hardware Stores in San Rafael, CA

“Customer service is #1! Finally moving out of the city and somehow attaining a backyard, my hunt for a new grill led me to Jackson’s as they are one of the few distributors of the brand I was interested in. From the moment I spoke to an associate on the phone, I knew I was working with qualified and passionate people. Chris was super knowledgeable and validated (as well as expanded) much of the prior research I had done online. Not pushy, yet professional and (again) passionate. My timing was fortunate as it lined up closely with their big annual sale. Since it was shaping up to be a larger purchase, they scheduled an early sale private shopping session for me before the official sale started. Chris made the extra effort to be there during my shopping session and continued to be a huge help. I look forward to having Jackson’s as my go-to hardware store. If you value customer service, you should make them yours as well.”

“I went in looking for a simple, but sturdy plastic board to support the end of a cage that was an inch longer than the end of the counter. Sam made sure I chose the right kind of plastic (I didn't know there was even a difference) to survive what this board would be exposed to (bleach, cleansers). Well, the board is perfect and thank you, Sam, for suggesting one corner be rounded. I could not think of anything I would have done differently. It's perfect.”

“It was hella easy.
To find .
After getting lost.
And chased a mile by wild dogs.
Maybethe Burger King wrappers stuck to my shoe was overkill but I was trying y hardest to keep it chill.”

“I have always received excellent customer service from Ace Hardware in Marin. Yesterday I was greeted with the comment, “May I help you?” And the service provided could not have been fully anticipated. John Troller went to the source; that is, the instruction manual of a new faucet available on the shelf. Three of us at home had worked on this faucet trying to fix it. John was able to fix it quickly, efficiently. I am very appreciative of his assistance. Now I do not have to call a plumber. The whole experience was actually enjoyable for me. Another fine Ace visit.”

“Had a great experience here. I came in looking for copper elbow and nipple piping and a wonderful gentleman by the name of Nico helped me out. He was incredibly helpful, curtious and brought me to what I needed almost immedietly. Pleasant conversation and incredibly homey vibe to this place. Will be coming back.”

“Will is one of the most professional person I've worked with. Super knowledgeable and helpful, he doesn't make you feel like you don't know anything instead he helps and asks you questions to make sure he knows what you need the material for. Amazing customer service Will.”

“I enjoyed my shopping and advices that I received. Amazed by the lumber section on the back of the store. It’s like a hidden lumber store in the back with shelves and pallets stacked high up with different materials that many different construction companies will need to have.”

“The quality and workmanship is tops. With in 6 weeks we had two new sliding doors and six windows installed. Including permit the price point was very fair and the windows look great.”

“I've been coming here to this location for the past 7 years. A few years ago the customer service wasnt great, downright super frustrating 3 years ago at the customers returns and online purchase pickup/returns desk; because the employees were a bit disinterested and unmotivated. In the past 2 years theres a notable improvement on the customer service at checkout area and at the returns desk. Employees are more attentive and better trained.
+++Theres a great employee, name unknown, running the tool aisle #15, he was working on fathers day early morning - kudos to him for being knowledgeable, interested and diligent in helping me find ryobi tools.
+++Stephon in the parking lot is excellent! He goes above and beyond in wrangling dolleys/carts and working hard to help customers load and unload materials. Stephon, withoout solicitation, noticed my brother Ioading 20ft pieces of lumber and literally jogged over to help him out. A+!

There could be a few more employees in the store aisles helpimg customers, and another floater employee on the returns desk when the line gets above 4 people waitimg in line.

Thanks HD!”

“I've not been to Home Depot in quite a few years. Today, I walked through the doors, I noticed how organized this location was. I had a quick look around and realized, I needed help with not only answering a few questions about toilets, but getting the toilet I ultimately chose to the cash register. I found a gentleman named Brock, who answered all my questions about what they had in stock. He also helped with the handle for the shower. I felt like a VIP working with this man who ultimately asked for extra assistance from David, his coworker to put it in my car. Come to find out, Brock was the manager of this location. Thank you so much Brock and David for making my experience at Home Depot pleasant!”
