Great service, low prices, excellent hardware selection…read more The staff at Altadena Hardware are friendly, helpful, and much more knowledgeable than big box stores. They will ask you about the project you're doing, and help find the right products and materials to fit the application of your work. Need to attach something to something else? They will guide you through the a-la-carte screws, nails, nuts, and bolts with expertness, making sure that the style, strength, and size of the hardware fits your project's needs. The prices for most items are competitive with big box stores-- items like PVC pipe, wood filler, and hardware are cheaper at Altadena Hardware in a side-by-side comparison to big box stores. If you purchase materials like wood or pipe, they can cut it for you for transport! The selection of paint, hardware, garden supplies, light bulbs, power tools, adhesives, and most other typical household hardware needs are excellent. Based on size, they don't stock as much lumber or appliances as big box stores. Very helpful -- they do cartridge exchange for Soda Stream!! And have many options of Soda Stream flavorings. They also sell local honey up at the cash register! Altadena Hardware is my first choice for hardware needs!

I get the impression the workers like working here because they are helpful and friendly and don't seem worn down. It's funny but as you go to the cashier lines, there are some unusual offerings such as sarsaparilla from Kentucky, and old fashioned hard candies. Today they didn't have my favorite, ginger, but they sure had other options!

This is a neighborhood store that isn't too large, but it carries excellent ACE product offerings, including paint supplies and paint.

I checked with Home Depot - they had the same item for $3 less. I'm 2 miles from Masters and 6 miles from HD - for me, 4 miles closer is worth paying $3 more. Masters had the product when I arrived; checkout was quick and friendly. Tips: I parked on the street; their parking is way in the back and can't be seen from the street. My car doesn't like that. Call before you go; this is an older, small store - not a big box.

We worked with Sal, and he was super helpful, and knowledgeable, I honestly didn't know there was so much to take under consideration when buying bathroom fixtures. The showroom had a wide variety of kitchen and bath options which could be overwhelming but Sal took his time explaining all the options and helped us made the right decision. Our order was delivered sooner than then estimated time, appreciate the fast turnaround. They have dedicated parking but Palmetto St is a bit difficult to come in and out of with many cars parked on the street, so be patient.
