The people are very helpful and friendly to make sure you get what you need to get your project or build done right read more

See all

Best hardware store in the area and their prices on wood are unbeatable! We came in looking for really old federal electric breakers and the heavily tattooed tall gentlemen was super helpful and kept us entertained as he helped us looked for what we needed. Unfortunately, they didn't have what we needed but they pointed us in the direction of who would and we were so grateful. Store is organized, clean, prices are fair and the staff was amazingly kind and informative. read more

Came in here multiple times while working a job in San Leon. Has a good stock of stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers. Also found a good supply of o-rings, and retaining rings. The tool selection was not as good. We were looking for a 10mm hex head wrench, ended up purchasing a SAE hex wrench and grinding it down to fit. Still one of the best stocked hardware stores around here. read more

Called them around noon and they didn't answer, called a minute later and they answered and said they can take my quote. After giving them my dimensions he tells me he is short handed and I need to do the math myself for the quote and quickly rattled off a bunch of numbers to multiply together. I don't care if you're short handed, that's not our job to do the math nor is it professional. Isn't the first rude call I've gotten here read more

Ok here is the thing about Kemah Hardware. They have been around forever. Even with a Home Depot opening right up the street they stay open. You might ask why? Well of course they can't compete on price really. The thing they do is specialize. They carry a lot of specialty woods and lumber. They cater to the Marine industry a lot. They also carry a lot of speciality fittings of different metals and types. All these thing you won't find at the Home Depot. Sure you can get your typical hardware merch here but the selection is limited. It is a pretty small store so they don't have room for a lot of variety. They do have a really big lumber yard though. Yea they got wood and they know how to use it. The staff is more knowledgeable than your typical Home Depot or lowes worker. This is a long run family business with unique and hard to find items. can't find it at your local big box store. Then give Kemah Hardware a try. read more

We had keys made here. When they didn't work, the owners were very rude about it being closing time and not wanting to fix it. Um...you messed up!!!! read more

Say ten pounds. Now say ten thousand. Pretty distinct difference right? Well apparently not to Brian, who charged me for ten thousand three inch screws when I only wanted ten pounds. But hey no big deal everyone makes mistakes and plus my order was over the phone, I know I've misheard plenty of words myself. But when I came by Kemah Hardware carrying in 8,000 screws instead of civilly handling the situation like an actual human being Brian accuses me. Brian. In what world do you accuse the customer. Brian our companies have been doing business for a good while now, why on earth would accuse in this situation it boggles my mind. I don't know who runs Kemah Hardware, Brian seemed about 50 - 60 and I pray to god he is in no position of management, I can only imagine how terrible it would be to work under him, or with him for that matter. Simply put Brian annoyed me with his childish attitude. Thankfully I dealt the majority of my brief visit handling the refund with a much more kind older man. I never got his name, but he recognized the business they had with my father and swiftly handled the situation. Tldr: Brian is a man child, but the majority of the members of the Kemah Hardware team are diligent and sensible in their work, and they have some of the best treated lumber in the area. read more

Great neighborhood hardware store. Quite the opposite of the big box store down the street. You will find different quality merchandise here. A shopping experience without someone trying to get you to open a credit card account. :-) read more

Ask for Kathy, especially at the end of day. Great place, great service and I love to support local businesses.

We needed a pane of glass to replace a window pane and Kemah Hardware cut the glass for us, I was in and out in minutes and even when it didn't quite fit we took it back in and they trimmed it just a little and it worked perfectly. Very reasonable prices on the glass and it was great having it cut to size for us. read more

the kind of store your parents and grandparents had, they have everything and they know what the area needs and keeps it there. the big box stores cant do what they do read more

Very helpful people and prices are usually better than in big chains! Unlike the chain stores, they will load your material for you.

i would be mad too if someone waited until the last minute to come in my store & expect me to fix their keys or shop for clothes & destroy the store. even though they should have worked in the 1st place.... but that happens often. if i wait until last minute for anything, i expect an attitude. get over it, they didnt mess up, not like 1 bad review will ruin their reputation. not like anything your little bad review will do to ruin them. read more
