I will still continue to buy my mushroom compost from this location but hopefully they will keep their suggestions to themselves.

I would like to give a shout out to Lily (sp) at the Blackhawk Ace Hardware store…read more I have been looking for a cabinet drawer part that is rare and difficult to find. It took awhile, but not only did she locate it but also patiently worked with another store (not local) to hold the item for me. This is the epitome of superior customer service that isn't always present. She is very professional, friendly, (and also pretty). Great job and many thanks.

She was unhelpful, dismissive, and displayed a poor attitude -- not only toward customers but also toward her coworkers. That kind of environment is noticeable and reflects poorly on the store. Customer service is what separates Ace Hardware from larger chains. If management wants to remain competitive, additional training and oversight may be necessary. I'm sharing this feedback in hopes that it leads to improvement.

I purchases weatherstripping for my front door at another vendor. The stripping was 1/2 inch too long. I inquired if they would be able to shorten the aluminum strip and ACE in San Ramon said YES!!

Thank you ACE!!! Store is very clean and organized. Angela D.

The vibe was definitely off. Not friendly at all and unfortunately racist as well. That's fine. I would take my money to Home Depot then.

I showed him item I needed and he found the exact model needed and asked another associate to confirm it. Never get this type of service at a Big Box store.

I love getting my perennial flowers here, lots of rare stuff that you can't find at most nurseries. I got my jasmine, fuschia, lavender, salvia, petunias, nemesia, zinnias, and cosmos here. They have lots of unusual colors. Tomatoes are $3 most of the time. Strawberries come in a prolific 6 pack. Thai chili and basil can be found here too, as well as okra and other harder to find veggies. Seed selection is the best. This was my year for planting from seed and the basil seeds I got from dales produced spicy sprouts that are so much more fragrant than that at the grocery store. Staff is welcoming and extremely chill as I tend to browse here for hours! Price point is lower than most specialty nurseries while providing a world class selection.

Yet, here I…read morewas, at the Home Depot in Pleasanton, doing just that, determined to fix the issue before it turns into an infestation I can't handle. Surveying the products on the shelf, I realized that I could use some of the fly ribbons and sticky traps I already have at home (previously used for flies). But I also grabbed some Safer Home pantry pest traps this time around. The store was clean and organized on a Wednesday afternoon. The pest control products were easy to find, the location similar to most other HD stores (far aisle on the left in Pleasanton). Checking out was quick and simple without any waits. In fact, there were workers at the self checkout registers helping customers ring up their orders... unnecessary but appreciated (as long as they don't slow me down). There was even an employee greeting guests at the entrance, and she was helpful and friendly too. Even though I just made a small purchase on this day, I was genuinely impressed with the service here, as well my overall experience.

This review is specifically towards Lowes Installation Service…read more This is the WORST service ...very un-professional sub contractors. Lowes does not own installation team, but rely solely on subcontractors. 1.We paid Lowes full price for installation and was assured scheduler will call within 48 hours 2. Had to call Lowes after 96 hours waiting...who gave me subcontractor number.....who happens to be in LA, while I am located in SF bay area 3. The subcontracttor NEVER called, I had to call 3-4 different times to be "assured" installer will call me 4. After 4 times, they gave installer number ( name AJ )....who never ever answered the phone 5. Finally after lot of escalations by Lowes install team, so called AJ called this morning telling ( not asking) that he will visit between 100 and 130 6. AJ does not have simply courtesy to call/text that he is running late 7. Shows up at 345....one look and says he can not install garage door opener ...the reason he gave is power outlet point is not exactly above opener motor. 8. Asked if its building code, he explained Lowes prohibits to install if power outlet is not directly above motor....and he will call Lowes to cancel installation. VERY unprofessional installer...but thats only installer Lowes has. Anyways....stay away from Lowes Install....far far away,....

Service was quick and thank you to the staff who helped me load six 40lbs salt pellets Diamond Crystal bright & soft($8.99) to my car. Also I have their rewards app so I was able to use a $10 coupon off over $50 spending. Without the coupon, their regular retail price $8.99 is a bit more costly than Home Depot $6.73 per pack (bulk price -6packs or more or $7.48 regular price) but with the coupon it offsets the large price gap. I am paying about $4 more than Home Depot but I think about the time I save for check out and I won't need to do the heavy lifting all by myself. Their service speed really helps when you know you can make a quick stop to get things done in a short amount of time. I hope ACE can think about offering bulk pricing on sale pellets in the future so their price is more comparable to Home Depot. I also noticed that they now got pies by the entrance! I know where to get some pies the next time I crave for it.
