John helped us two days in a row. He was so patient and kind in answering our gazillion questions and helping us figuring out what to do. We always use Baller Hardware, so the great service wasn't surprising. Everyone is always so helpful, but John really went above and beyond both days because, you know, a gazillion questions. I myself, would have ran if I saw us coming back that second day, but he didn't. Thanks John! read more

Since I've found this chain of hardware stores.... I seek them out because they have such a variety of everything that you would want in a hardware store. read more

Nice to have a local small business option in the neighborhood, but caught a very unfriendly vibe from the dude in the front who wordlessly and rudely answered my question by handing me a tool. Got home, tool was the wrong size for the job. Please don't be condescending and incorrect, you have to pick one. read more

The best hardware store around. Somehow, they seem to have twice as much as Home Depot which is 20 times larger. And there's always a great personal service. read more

Truly great place. Well organized, reasonable prices, great selection and the knowledge and service they offer is unbeatable! I love Baller! Hardware gods! read more

Friendly and experienced personnel, who are masters of their craft. Easy to navigate, and variety of products for all hardware needs

I love this place. I've been coming here for years if not decades. And I know a little bit about everything so it's nice to go to a place that has stuff that accommodates me in my journey of fixing everything because everything is broken. The staff is great and always willing to help or find help if they can't help. I haven't ever needed help because I know everything they have in the store. Right now I'm fixing both my car and my apartment because I know that if I ask for help they're gonna do it right anyways. Got any questions? Try me. I'll usually be in the screw aisle making sure they are sorted properly. Cheers. Thank you read more

The best! They have what you need 99% of the time and it's way better than self serve at Home Depot. From paint, to plants, to tools, you will find what you need. Support local businesses, pop by Baller! read more

Good ol' neighborhood hardware store where you can talk shop even if you're a clueless yuppie who can't hang a framed poster of Death Race 2000 to a wall. read more

I can't express my gratitude to the entire team at Baller. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I usually come with my DIY questions and they always come up with solutions! I've asked about repairing an interior door hinge, mounting my soundbar onto the tv mount and repainting my house number etc. They explained with detail and never talk down to me (older woman). This hardware store is a gem in this community!! Thank you!! read more

ALWAYS amazing service and attention detail. This crew is awesome and their selection is fantastic. Buy LOCAL AND as they say: "Keep the silver in Silver Lake!" read more

Amazing service. And great value.and had all the materials.fair prices and there knowledge was awesone

They have everything and they're so knowledgeable about everything as well! This is my go to hardware store!

I had such a great experience at Baller hardware. I stopped by to buy an assortment of home related items and found out that they can restore vintage lamps. They refurbished two lamps for a great price of $65 for two lamps for parts and labor and it wa ready for a few days. They were so helpful and I am so happy with the results! read more

Love this family owned business. Been coming for years! If they have it, I would skip Home Depot!

I have shopped at Baller for almost 20 years and, sadly, can't anymore. Upon checking out today I saw a notification that Charlie Kirk had been shot. After asking who that was and which "side" he was on, the young man checking me out repeatedly asked whether that was a bad thing. I support local business because it encourages community regardless of our differences. However, this is not the kind of community I want to support. read more

Old school hardware store with all the old brands and many of the good new brands. The employees and management are very knowledgeable in this business. You'd have to fly to a Minnesota Menards or a Bakersfield Tractor Supply to get this kind of service, quality of products or expert advice. I recommend it highly! read more

Great hardware store. Always easy to find what you need with staff available to help you. Well organized, Good selection of all the basics and more. I definitely rely on Baller for all my building projects. So glad it's nearby. read more

Friendly. Helpful. Knowledgeable. Conveniently located across from Tomato Pie Pizza when you need hardware but craving pizza too.

These guys are a joy to shop at. Everyone is helpful and friendly. The store also has the non standard stuff you'll find at home depot type stores. It feels like you're shopping in a small town store. It's the best. Feel lucky to like close by read more

Baller Hardware is a wonderful neighborhood store, with everything you need and more!

Super helpful mom and pop shop. I went in for some floor sealer - I am not handy around the house but I looked online and it didn't seem too hard. They helped me find a good product and gave me instructions. They could have easily given me the most expensive product and a bunch of unnecessary tools but they were honest and really cared. I really appreciate their help and highly recommend Baller Hardware to everyone read more

Best local hardware store! Super friendly and helpful staff. Good prices. Well stocked inventory with good variety read more

This is the way hardware stores used to be. Small but has everything you need for your project. Extremely helpful and courteous staff.

Has things others do not and very helpful compared to other places that have no idea what they carry

A neighborhood treasure. Always so helpful! Also... They are always friendly and welcoming!

The kindest people! During the fires, my granny lost power. She has a medical device that needs charging and they let her come and charge. They also are the best hardware store! Very thankful for this business! read more

Helpful clerks, helpful location, easy parking, near liquor store, near grocery store.

Baller Hardware has that old school local feel because they've been around forever and when you walk in, you're greeted/acknowledged by the employees. As a person who doesn't know much about anything housewares/repairs, this place is the best. I always come in with random questions on how to fix things and they're always able to help me through a problem. Seriously love this place so much. They also never make me feel dumb for asking my questions which I love. They adore dogs and have a whole wall of them at the York location. Just one more thing that makes them feel like part of the community. THANK YOU! read more

I love supporting this community hardware store. The friendly staff is wonderfully knowledgeable and assuredly helpful with the wide variety of weird fix-it jobs we have in our messy and creative lives. Pricing is competitive without forcing your selection of slumlord style refuse like in the big-box stores. Go to Baller first! read more

Love to have a local hardware store nearby. They pretty much have everything you'll ever need in a pinch. The staff is helpful too. read more

Arturo was extremely helpful, and was such a kind and patient (and funny!) teacher to a novice such as myself. I will definitely be back to get more advice on what I can buy there to complete my home repair projects! This was a much better and friendlier experience than going to a big box store for advice. read more

I love this place. It's awesome for picking up tools, paint, and even single guys ;) I recently went there to get a new shower head (the kind with the "massage setting"- - ladies know what I'm talking about ;P ) and there was a real cute guy there buying a toilet seat. I sidled up next to him and said "new toilet seat, huh?" just to break the ice. Maybe I won't need the shower head after all, I thought lol. The guy was one of these hipster types but he wasn't all fat and broken down by life like my loser husband is. Don't get all judgmental on me because I'm married and flirting with a hipster in the toilet seat section of a hardware store. I still look good and like to get some action on the side every now and then. My husband probably cheats on me too, and frankly it's none of your business, sweetie. The guy is acting all shy so I keep making small talk but I'm being kinda sexy about it too. I say, all breathy, I say "What happened to your old toilet seat?" I kind of touch his arm when I say this. This dude is cute when he's shy. He says he just needs a new seat. I ask him if he wants any help breaking it in, then I wink. He walks over to the gardening aisle to look at some soil. Baller Hardware has everything you need for your garden too, BTW! I follow him to the soil and ask him again. "Do you want any help breaking in your new toilet seat?" He says he's fine and doesn't need any help breaking in the toilet seat. I tell him it's his loss. We exchange numbers before he leaves, so maybe we'll hook up another time. I get my shower head and pay at the counter- I notice they sell pickles too which is cool. Maybe I should get a new toilet seat too and take it into the shower with me so I can break it in along with my new massaging shower head. I just hope my husband didn't stink up the bathroom too bad. SPOILER ALERT: he did. Baller is the best- they have spray paint, regular paint, cleaning products, everything. Great locally owned business! Five stars all the way. They have a few different kinds of toilet seats too if you're thinking about breaking in a new one ;) read more

These guys are the best! And socially responsible too. I've been shopping all over Silver Lake for gloves since the Corona Virus aka Covid-19 Virus outbreak and lo and behold Baller Hardware is one of the few places that has them in stock! And they don't price gouge as so many of the other retailers do. Here you can get 100 Ambitex Polyethylene Gloves for only $1.49! And they have them in stock with no limits! You can literally buy 1,000 gloves for less than $15.00! Unbelievable! They also just received some Food Guard Vinyl Gloves which are way better than Latex or Nitrile in my opinion. And all of their gloves are powder-free AND sold with no limits and no gouging. read more

Always so helpful. Love supporting the local spots you should too!!! I will be back again and again.

I love patronizing local businesses that cater to neighborhood needs. They are unfailingly knowledgeable and well-stocked. It's not a huge place, but they are FULL of all the key hardware items. And they even sell pickles !!! I don't go to a Home Depot unless Baller can't help. They have parking, but it's tricky in and out. The only critique I could make. They also have an Art Supply across the street next to the very yummy Tomato Pie pizzeria (get a slice of Grandma or Syracuse!). read more

I have lived on the Eastside of town for the majority of my fifty plus years. For at least 36 of those years i have actively supported and patronized Baller choosing them over a big box store even when that meant paying higher prices and having less selection. This is no longer the case. For anyone that cares, baller hardware does not support the wearing of face masks and if you ask an employee not wearing a face mask to put one on you will be berated and made fun of. The store will fill with echos of criticism of mask wearing and people who support it. If you value your health do not go inside read more

Keep the silver in Silverlake! Baller is a friendly neighborhood institution that's been here since the 60s. There's always someone in earshot to help you. Not the vast warehouse of your Home Depots so the selection is limited on those larger items but for weekend DIY, Baller is our choice de jour. Good selection on paint, key blanks, garden, pet and critter potions, plumbing, household cleaning essentials, lightbulbs of every persuasion, dowels large and small and just across the street in their sister store you can get glass, plexi and screen cut/ fabricated. They also stock Xmas lights year round, and nice POS items like locally made candles and soap cakes. read more

Baller has been part of the heart of the area for decades. If they don't have it, they will help you get it. A nice and helpful group, much like you would hope to have as your neighbor. Keys, custom paint, lumber, garden supplies, plumbing, electrical, hardware, household supplies and more. This is a gem and I hope you will shop here often. read more

Cool local hardware. Very well organized. They pretty much have everything you need. I go here often. Staff is all pretty nice except the dude who makes key copies. There's always a sense of attitude from him. Price, I'm not sure how they match up to Home Depot. It might be a bit more considering it's a mom and pops place. Either way it's still a good place to go. read more
