I love our Ace Hardware Downtown San Diego I can go in there and get the best welcome and service…read more We come here all the time. They have everything! Today I had great service from Jacob (I may have spelling wrong). He helped me out with a ridiculous request. It was for Sand and he was so professional regarding a small purchase but he helped out! They have everything in ACE hardware stores. Thank you! BTW once you go there they send coupons and I used one today it was awesome! Thank you ACE you're the best!

I actually haven't been in for a while since I don't live that way anymore, but I intend to get back there asap jjst so I can feel what it's like to be in a REAL hardware store again. They actually carry hardware, which the big box stores almost stopped carrying. Anyway, I can't recommend this store enough. If you need anything from a screw to a light fixture, they likely will be able to hook you up! Oh, and their prices are awesome too WE NEED TO SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS AND ALL SMALL BUSINESSES. It's so important.

The man who helped me was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He asked the right questions, quickly understood the situation, and guided me to exactly what I needed. I mentioned my 87-year-old dad was visiting and I was trying to fix it before he tried to climb a ladder himself--he completely got it and made sure I left with a solid plan. They have everything you need for most projects, and it's so convenient to have a place like this right in the neighborhood. I'll definitely be back.

While on this visit, an employee actually asked me if I needed assistance - and meant it! You have to check out my pics of their nuts and bolts. As a DIYer, I was in heaven. I was looking in bins, just because. They had fasteners, I hadn't seen before, but now I know they exist when I need that certain something in a particularly hard project. The open stock round bins brought a smile on my face as I remembered those bins as a kid going with my grandfather to the hardware store. Alas it was a trip down memory lane, but a modern day open stock hardware island.

I've shopped at this hardware store purely for convenience, but after repeatedly witnessing how the…read moreowner treats his staff, I will no longer be returning. On multiple visits, I've seen employees--often teenagers--spoken to in a demeaning and belittling way. During my most recent visit, I asked an employee a simple question. He went to confirm the answer with the owner and was immediately talked down to. After hearing this, I approached the owner directly to ask the same question myself and unfortunately received the same condescending attitude. It's also worth noting that there are no prices listed on items, which makes shopping unnecessarily frustrating, and if you need to return anything--unused or opened--good luck. It's disappointing to see workers treated this way, and it explains why there seems to be constant staff turnover. Customer service starts with how employees are respected, and sadly, that's lacking here. Despite the longer commute, I'll be taking my business to the other hardware store on the island moving forward.

Home Depot is the place to go for nearly everything pertaining to your home. This one located on…read moreSpirts Arena Bl in Midway area opens early and the staff are super helpful and nice. I have shopped here for everything but most recently indoor and outdoor plants. My pied-de-tierre has a sizable balcony which has great sun exposure but can be cold from marine/beach/ocean layers. Have been on the hunt for specific flowering trees that can tolerate these weather fluctuations. The garden shop has a vast variety of flowering trees I like and purchased at a great value. Again, the staff are always very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Oh, and I have seen some attractive looking people, men and women shop here...not sure if they were shopping for home stuff or shopping for their next date lol Will continue to shop for home stuff at Home Depot, gets my recommendation.

She helped us choose the perfect washer and dryer for our new home, taking the time to explain every detail, from installation and delivery to sizing, so we knew exactly what to expect. When I realized I had forgotten my Home Depot card, Mary Margaret went above and beyond to retrieve my card information, ensured my birthday coupon was applied, and even escorted us to the front register when her computer wouldn't allow her to complete the purchase without the physical card. In addition, Charles at customer service was just as helpful, and even brought some humor to the experience! This visit was a refreshing change from previous ones, especially given the significant purchase we were making. Their exceptional service, knowledge, and willingness to go the extra mile truly deserve recognition. Home Depot needs more employees like Mary Margaret and Charles, helpful, knowledgeable, and dedicated to outstanding customer service!

Tools for the job…read more There's plenty of tool places but sometimes you just want to get in quick and leave. Over here they don't sell paint, furniture, lumber, or BBQ pits. They sell just tools. Items to get the repair, construction, or demolition done. Most of the tools are made in Asia but for the quality and durability of the tools, it's still cheaper than the big boys. Overall five stars. If you know specifically what you want, this is the place. There is a loyalty program. IDK what it does but they got one so might as well sign up.
