I love this neighborhood hardware store. You're such a small footprint. They seem to have everything you could possibly need. They are my go to place. I highly recommend this hardware store. Everyone that works there is helpful and knowledgeable. read more

Pretty good prices given the location. I usually come here for convenience and actually expect prices to be higher. They have a very good selection of anything you could need around the house. Service is fine. I'm annoyed that they let this couple cut in front of me (however part of the onus is on me--I could've spoken up as well, I was just shellshocked.) read more

Nob Hill Hardware - Inside - Hardware Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

They didn't have what I needed but very friendly and helpful and they told me where I can buy it

Need something for your apartment or house? Chances are, it's probably here. They have a lot of random stuff and it's pretty rare that I go in looking for something and they don't have it. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They always greet me when I go in and ask if I need any help. Pricing is normal. Also, this is a UPS access point, so you can pickup or drop off any UPS packages with a label! read more

Surprisingly large basement with a decent variety of wood. Got all I needed in one spot.

The store is fully stocked! And the service is wonderful!!! I had a question about an assembly I was doing and he helped me to immediately get the solution and didn't make me feel silly for asking. read more

LOVE this hardware store! Very helpful, friendly, neighborly and always have what I need from a hardware store! I live closer to Cole Hardware and Brownies but choose Nob Hill Hardware for their helpfulness, neighborly demeanor. Brownies (except for one or two employees) gives an attitude of their doing you a favor. They are definitely NOT neighborly. Cole is hit or miss in their advice and neighborliness attitude. I've finally just stop going there if I can help it. Nob Hill Hardware is consistent in their helpfulness, neighborly approach and I'm always able to get what I need. I always feel good after shopping there. read more

After going to 3 other businesses I finally found what I was looking for, here. Very much appreciated. Not super friendly, though.

This neighborhood hardware store is always a lifesaver. I can't tell you how many keys I've had made here, lightbulbs purchased, tape, vinegar, nails, screws- I think they sell everything. I love supporting local businesses and the people here are so friendly and extra helpful. It's a jam packed store and they all know exactly where everything is. Not to mention I get a ton of packages routed here via UPS and they know my name, face & address by now - lol. Conveniently located across from a Trader Joe's, I guarantee you can find anything you're looking for, for all of your home needs. read more

The staff was very friendly and helpful during my visit. They helped me find what I needed and had pretty decent prices. I'll definitely be back. read more

Never had a bad experience here - great collection of regular hardware store items plus all sorts of random living goods. The main guy has an encyclopedic knowledge of his inventory, and knows enough to tell you what to get to solve your issues. read more

Last place to be open on a Saturday and the place Closed early. You suck! If your business says it's open until a certain time, you should remain open until the last minute. read more

Supporting local businesses! With shelter in place in full effect we found ourselves at home doing some re-arranging and home DIY projects. Since we stayed close to home with the occasional walks we found this hardware store across the street from Trader Joe's. We were able to get some supplies, screws, and hardware for our projects. The owner helped us both times we came in and was really helpful. It's also nice that you can come in and get help right away whereas giant chain stores you gotta walk the aisles to locate the staff. Today the owner helped us match up additional screws we needed for a project at home. read more

Helpful staff with plenty of knowledge for the most simple task to more difficult issues in your home. Very highly stocked store and they most certainly can order things for you as well. Located on the busy California street, there is some parking available, but it is tricky to find. It is a great local hardware store that's got everything!!! read more

Nob Hill Hardware - Battery wall - Hardware Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

A great neighborhood go-to store for anything household-related. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Plus, my dog loves the treats they give him! read more

Although this is not the closest hardware store from. my home l will be giving these guys as much business as l can and l highly recommend you do the same. I hope they prosper as much or more as they deserve and in my opinion they deserve a lot of prosperity I came here yesterday with a a few photos and confused ...l knew what l needed "sort of" but none of the names of the "contraptions" nor where to find it in the store. Mitchell ( l hope l spelled his name right) was very helpful showing me the things l need it and took me to them. He read more

Absolutely heroic local business and truly indispensable in the pandemic; without them it's entirely possible I would have perished from the earth months ago. Over the past year or so I have wandered into this store in search of, and successfully located: screws, bedframe brackets, furniture floor pads, a simple metal over-the-door hook, a 1-to-3 three-prong outlet adapter, a sewing kit, uncommon wattage CFL lightbulbs, a dowel for a toilet paper roll, mason jars, and--in a life-saving moment where it looked as though all was lost--a replacement for my French press. Prices entirely not bad on an SF neighborhood scale; they can get you far faster anything you can get cheaper, and far cheaper (given factoring in shipping, gas, and wait time) anything you can get faster. Efficient service as well; the store is so jam packed with stuff that you might not find what you're looking for simply by walking through, though odds are that they have it and if they do I've never not seen them be able to locate it right away. Bring them business! The neighborhood is much better for having them here. read more

Marco is a gem, great customer service! Thank you Marco for helping my son with his key fob today! You are awesome!!!

This is a great local neighborhood hardware store that has a lot of things to support your house maintenance needs. The 2 Russian guys are the owners and I think are related and everytime I go there they and their staff are helpful and their store is well stocked. Please support this local business. They make copies of keys quickly and affordably too and are an UPS access point which means you can direct packages there for pickup if you're not home. read more

Nob Hill Hardware - Hardware Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

A true neighborhood hardware store. The staff is super friendly and will take the time to understand what you need so that you get the right tool, part, etc for the job without you having to ask. Prices are reasonable and the shop seems bigger inside. The shop is well stocked with a variety of common items apartment dwellers will need. Definitely will be my first stop for any random hardware needs. read more

Five stars means "as good as it gets". Four stars from means "It is as good as one wants or needs." Proximity (to me) affords the many experiences over several years to make this favorable review. This hardware has about everything one needs, from kitchen equipment; painting supplies; gardening stuff (including poles for your tomato plants!); cleaning stuff, "hardware", etc. etc. The store covers more subjects that one would expect by using narrower aisles and products stacked high (as well as in two back rooms). Staff is quite helpful, steering me away from the carpet cleaner I wanted to one noticeably superior. Another time one reached around the end of an aisle and retrieved the item I wanted (without actually seeing the item)! Plus, it is a UPS point: For drop-off and to receive your deliveries. Proximity and competence may be the determining factors. This is not a Brownies, Rylees nor Cliff's Variety but for most needs, Nob HIll Hardware will satisfy. read more

Great neighborhood hardware store with pretty much anything you need! I got furniture protectors, a shoe rack, LED desk lamp and mineral oil for our wood cutting board. Prices are reasonable and the owner was super helpful with helping me find what I needed. The store is a bit overwhelming at first but well organized. read more

Nob Hill Hardware - Hardware Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is great, has so many thing going for it. The staff has always been good to me, very helpful! All business should be like this.

The guys are this store are super helpful and warm. Whenever you ask them a question they take the time to help instead of trying to sell you on something. Also, their store has literally everything -- from kitchen things like, paint, printer paper, and of course hardware things. read more

I recommend taking your business elsewhere, especially if you are a woman. Owner (?) talked down to me as if I could not complete a project on my own and told me to tell my electrician to find a new profession when the fixture I wanted to wire was not compatible with the switch I purchased. When I brought the switch back, he accused me of "ruining" the box it came in and assured me no one would buy this product from him again. The box was not ruined at all, he just didn't want to give me $70 back. All the while, speaking aggressively and saying not to bring back a damaged item "next time". Luckily there will not be a next time! The other 1 star reviews make sense - this man is aggressive and condescending. Thanks to the other customer in there who stood up for me and told him not to yell at me :) read more

Excellent customer service. I bought a vacuum cleaner here for my daughter, however, it broke recently after only 7 months. I do not have the receipt. Hoping they will help her with an exchange or a repair. read more

The true ideal of a neighborhood hardware store. The two guys who staff (own?) it are always extremely helpful. Whatever you need, they have it (even if it's behind a rack somewhere you can't see). Prices are entirely reasonable, and I love that I can pop in here to grab whatever I've forgotten for the project I'm working on. If I can buy it here, I do. Support local businesses! read more

Michael is fantastic. Knows everything, is patient in educating and has a great sense of humor. If they don't have it, Michael will order it. Highly recommended! read more

I needed a couple of keys made the lady and the gentleman there were very helpful I was in and out and about 3 minutes very courteous very helpful customer service highly recommended read more

One of my favorite local hardware stores. The folks who work here are always very kind and attentive, and they have anything you could possibly want. I can't think of a single thing i don't like about this place. read more

I really like the guys that own this store. They're friendly, eager to help if you have questions, and genuinely glad to be in business. I think this store has been there for about a year. It's in a kind of seedy location so I'm glad to see they're still there and I hope they stay. I think you can find just about anything you can find at Brownie's at Nob Hill Hardware. It's a block away from my place so it's perfect for me. I've been able to find everything I was looking for in all the times I've been there - they have it all, from nuts and bolts to tools to kitchen and bath items. I had to return a couple light bulbs today because I realized my lamp was broken (not the lightbulb), and it was no problem. He gladly gave me a refund, even without the receipt. I'll be back! read more

You can't get very excited over a hardware store, but really, this place is the BOMB. I wanted some small pieces of finished wood to put up some shelves in random places around my apartment and was really not looking forward to having to ZipCar it out to a Home Depot somewhere. My regular goto hardware stores carried SFA in wood, so I'd been putting off this home renovation for awhile in the hopes I'd have a reason to go out to Emeryville. While up at the TJs though, I saw Nob Hill Hardware across the street and lettering on their window indicated they carried wood! How does this happen, says I. Some quick Yelping later, I finally got some time to head in there. Sure enough, the super friendly guy working there brought me to the location where they keep shelving board. It's not a huge selection of sizes and colours, but it was absolutely perfect for what I was looking for. I explained the sizes I wanted and he found me some pieces close to it and cut them down to fit my needs! I picked up a few other things while I was there, then had to come back the next day to return two of them (damn concrete ceiling, I am NOT drilling into you just to shove hooks up there!) The same guy served me and made the return quick and easy. It seems to be a standard that all hardware stores have small, narrow aisles and as much stuff in them as possible (from the regular hardware fare to kitschy whatevers). That being said, given the proximity to my apartment and the super awesome friendly guy there, I will happily make this my regular hardware goto store. read more

This place is great! The two fellows working there are super nice and extremely helpful. One even volunteered to help me carry my stuff home, since I bought a mirror bigger than me. The place is pretty small but surprisingly has just about anything you need. I plan on buying my hardware supplies here from now on. read more

Best hardware store in the neighborhood! Love their gardening section, staff is always helpful and they have great prices.

I have two propane tanks I got for my grill that I purchased here at Nob Hill Hardware. They charge you about a $25 deposit for the tank plus the propane is about another $20-25. I decided I didn't need two tanks hanging around my basement so I decided to return the empty one today. The man working asked me for my receipt. Okay, that's fair, but I bought that tank months ago and paid a deposit for the canister. When I purchased it, no one said "makes sure to keep your receipt to prove you got that here". The man working insisted that I need a receipt and that he couldn't refund me my deposit because "how do I know you got that here?!" I told him that this isn't they type of thing people lie about. He told me to take it to a gas station. Okay dude, sounds good, I'll stay out of your shop, I'll let my friends know too read more

LOVE this hardware store, they literally have EVERYTHING one could possibly need or want regarding building/fixing/creating. The amount of times I've been like "omg I need _____" and realize I can just walk down the street and get it here is infinite. Thankful that they are open the amount of hours they are and everything they offer. plus, their prices are great. read more

I go in there with all kinds of random questions about what tools I would need, or how to find a matching screw, and they always help me.

This is an awesome family owned hardware store. The customer service here is fantastic everyone is very attentive and is out to help you. I always find the tools I need from this store. Anything from wrenches to sockets to cleaning brushes they have it here. Prices are very reasonable especially for a store located in the middle of downtown San Francisco. I'm proud to support small businesses like this one and you should too. read more
