Studio Belmont has been awesome to work with. Amy helped us select all new kitchen and bath…read morehardware for a remodel and they were very knowledgeable and patient as we explored different options. Their prices were also fantastic. No haggling, and when Amy gave me the price, I price shopped with some other plumbing and bath showrooms and her initial price was better than everyone else's even after I asked those other showrooms for discounts etc. Also, better than internet pricing. When the products came in, they were delivered straight to my house with no issues whatsoever. A fantastic experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Amy and the team at SB.

So happy! Desperate for handles for my new vanity, s I forgot to order them weeks ago - ran into…read moreStudio Belmont (formerly Belmont Hardware) - they actually had many in stock and you can wander the aisles looking for what you want. I was a little limited by my need for 8 smaller and 6 larger handles but I was drawn to one handle almost immediately and they had just enough small handles and more than enough large handles. So happy! I made my purchase within 15 minutes! With multiple employees saying, "Have a nice day!" Unfortunately these were unlike most ithwr handles as they only came with 1 inch screws instead of those AND 1.5 inch - so I ran back to them and they quickly found me 30 breakaway screws that go up to 2.5inches - no hassle, no problems, just found me screws, bagged them, and apologized - not their fault! Not a fault! All good! My vanity looks great with the handles, now just waiting for the countertop! If you have time and remember to order, their selection is much larger than what you can get on the spot, some of it quite fun, and the easiest way to change out a look in your bathroom! LOVE!

I walked to the key counter, and stood behind a man that had been waiting for someone to help him. I asked him how long he'd been waiting, and he said it had been ~5 min since he asked for help. I walked back to the center cashier, who said there was now no one on the floor to help as everyone was on lunch break. I asked for the manager, and he said he was on a break. There were now three people waiting to get keys copied, and no staff to help. After waiting a few more minutes, I walked back to the center of the store and spoke loud enough so that the manager could hear in the back. The message? That customers needed help at the key counter. Finally, a staff person came to the counter, clearly annoyed, and said they were having problems with their staff-to-staff communication device. Unlikely. What they were having a problem with, was a clear misunderstanding of what customer service means. Talk about a failure to train employees. Never coming back, nor recommending this business to my friends or family. There are better businesses nearby, ones that actually understand the importance of customer service ... and they're just a short drive away.

This is the only Home Depot that employees greet their customers that I've been too. I usually go to the garden center as they have a larger variety of plants in comparison to East Bay. Plants selection is huge and are well taken care of. I find more tropical fruit plants here compared to where I live. Employees are eager to assist. I only had one horrible experience for a plant return with a female Hispanic associate with red hair questioning me. She pulled the citrus tree out of the soil and accused me that this isn't a tree. Given that the tree had died and shriveled up, I return what I had purchased under their 1 yr plant guarantee. She called a manager and no one showed up and was having a fit. She reluctantly processed my return but in the future, I won't try to save a tree and return it immediately once it goes bad because of her interrogation. I used to purchase a lot of fruit trees but it is no longer a hassle free transaction, purchases have been more restricted.

However, when I was a kid, my dad would take me with him to the hardware store, and I would get a lollypop while he and whomever from behind the counter would wander around looking for an eyebolt or the right shade of caulk. Giulio- who I assume is the owner, is easily 10 years older than my mom, who lives in the assisted living up the street. My mom can't be bothered to go to the chair yoga we're paying for, but Giulio went to work. He's not totally mobile, but he knows his s#!t. Whenever I come in, he or whoever else is behind the counter is happy to chat through my issue and suggest something. It's not a Home Depot- so they may not have what you're looking for every time- but they have a lot of things, and it makes me happy to know my money is staying local. Also, side story: One day during the summer, it's like 90, and I am behind a contractor who's getting a bunch of stuff - lumber, rocks...I don't know- but he's paying for it, and he grabs some water bottles for him and his crew and puts them on the counter. Giulio totals him up and says a number; the guy says, "Oh, don't forget these waters". Giulio says, "The town where I come from in Italy has the best water in the world, and it flows right off the mountain. If my father knew I was charging people for water, he'd come back from the dead and strike me down. Those are free." C'mon. How can you not go here first?

Thanks to this store I was able to fix something that has been annoying my wife for many months…read more One cabinet door below the sink that my wife uses was always open a few inches because one of the hinges got weaker over time. Every time I would walk by, it would give me a vertically-oriented mocking smile. I finally had enough. You would think it would be an easy thing to simply pick out a replacement hinge and install it, but HAH--clearly you have not done much cabinet work before... I brought I picture of my hinge to this store and the exact hinge is no longer made. And I need to take into consideration the hinge overlay (what?!) along with the size of the body of the hinge. Well the bottom line is that after 4 trips to this store trying different hinges I finally installed one that worked. And the guys at this store were extremely helpful and patient--particularly for a part that is only about $7. They definitely helped me do this a lot quicker than I had tried it one my own, and proved the value of buying local.

They can even order things for you from various catalogs, such as my Wright tool chest that Jessy ordered for me and had delivered to my office. Completely satisfied here! I guess Jessy doesn't need the money, since he barely charges any profit on special orders and it's almost like he enjoys the fact that the customer pays so little, which makes it a great value when placing special orders. I highly recommend Tooland.
