Big box retail didn't kill Main Street. We killed Main Street. Nobody holds a gun to our head,…read morenobody forces us to the corporate gigantor stores on 28 with parking lots for days and traffic. We believe the everyday low prices mantra, we willingly sacrifice our soul to the machine. This is all on us. We own it. And in today's second generation of Main Street destruction we sit our unhealthy selves in the comfort of our overheated homes and with a few clicks of the mouse we have a cardboard package whisking it's way to us no mind the human interaction is gone and early onset diabetes gets closer with each substitution of small cardboard box for Main Street strolling we elect to make. But no worries. Soon healthcare will be provided us for free and one more choice that we previously got to make on our own will be gone. Good on us. Want to reclaim a bit of your independence? Want to add ten years to your life and a smile to your face? Go back to Main Street. I was in need of hardware to make a few improvements for mi madre and not being from these parts thought that the big boxes had killed a local hardware option and she said oh hell no we're going to Dubben Brothers they're good people. I was all no way San Jose Main Street is dead but bc Main Street was what mama wants and what mama wants is what all the offspring should recognize as their reason for getting out of bed in the morning off we went. Dubben Bros rocks. It's been there forever! It smells like old time hardware stores are supposed to smell and while it isn't ginormous it does have a ton of stuff. Maybe three varieties of the tool you seek instead of a million but do we really need a million brands to choose between no we do not. I'd suggest if you've recently moved to the area or been there awhile but not in this particular establishment that you drop by and look around to get a sense of what's in store. So to speak. One thing you'll find for sure is an old fashioned hospitality and genuine desire to be of assistance that's hard to find on 28. No disrespect intended those who work hard in those big corporate spaces but there a worker has to serve two masters - us AND the machine. And the priority isn't necessarily in that order.

I hired Matt Way Plumbing & Heating to re-plumb a renovation house in Nov 2021. Mr. Way repeatedly…read morefailed to show on contracted days to work, without notice, and was difficult to approach with regard to estimates on work completion. When I received a second invoice from Mr. Way for $11,000 on top of the $37,000 deposit I had already paid, I asked two other professionals to evaluate Mr. Way's work to ensure that what had been completed was done to industry standards. Upon inspection, it was discovered that insufficient materials were used for a house the size that we were renovating, and that the work would need to be completely redone to meet code requirements. The radiant heat in the floor was incorrectly installed - it did not fully cover the floor space and the clips used to hold it in place were the wrong material (plastic vs. metal). Most of the other work that had been done was completely botched and the labor costs billed were much higher than estimated. Repeated requests to Mr. Way to remedy the situation or refund the deposit have gone ignored, even after filing with the Better Business Bureau. I would not recommend under any circumstances.
