Not a lot of people in here these days. We stopped in and were greeted by Russ last night around 6,…read morewho was wearing a smile. We looked at some paint colors, picked up a couple samples, and went home to decide. Woke up this morning, went into the store and was again greeted by a smiling Russ :) we asked him to summon a paint specialist and he walked to the paint counter and mixed our paint. This dude is the service MAN! Closing, opening, mixing paint, what the hell, he should probably be managing! Nice work Russ! And Outdoor Supply? Pretty cool.

This is my favorite Ace Hardware store since it is within minutes away from my home when I need a…read morequick repair. The best thing about this Ace Store is the helpfulness and friendliness from the employees. I recommend people download the app as it has monthly coupons if you frequent this Ace often. My favorite parts of the store are the tools and garden section. In comparison to big box stores like Home Depot and Lowe's, Ace has some items that not frequent sold like plants and tools. I've been eyeing some flowers like argyranthemums. Sometimes there are exotic varieties in the summer. Plant enthusiasts should check this and other Aces out.

I decided to go to Pete's Ace Hardware after finding no help at my local Lowes. I needed a cabinet…read moredoor hinge replacement. The staff at Lowes said he was only doing stocking and I should pick out possible replacements and if it does not work, return for refund. His and my incompetence was at the same level. An entirely different experience at Pete's. Within seconds after entering the store, a staff member asked if he could help me. I showed him item I needed and he found the exact model needed and asked another associate to confirm it. Never get this type of service at a Big Box store.

Worst service. I don't understand how ups could use such a low end business to safe gaurd packages…read more Business hours say they are open but when you show up they have signs saying they will be back later. The owner is rude to talk to and very unprofessional.

East Oakland has undeniable issues, but we also have gems. I've lived here for 21 years and just…read morediscovered Sayfee's Hardware, which has apparently been right here on International aka E 14th since the 1980s. My son's air filter cord needed to be replaced. Hardware stores used to do things like that, but every other place we called told us they couldn't help. We found Sayfee's in the old-school phone book and were told "bring it in and I'll take a look." The owner showed my teen son how to open up the air filter and deep clean it, and when that didn't do the trick, he rewired the appliance for us for a very reasonable price. I'm not one to toss things in the landfill that are repairable, so I was thrilled to find someone close to home who could fix it for us! The place is nondescript from the outside, but the personal service inside is worth a visit! We'll be Sayfee's customers going forward.

**Exceptional Service from Maria in the Paint Department**…read more I would like to recognize Maria at the San Leandro Home Depot for the outstanding assistance she provided during my visit. I was working on a home project and needed help selecting the correct paint and related supplies. Maria took the time to make sure I got exactly what I needed. She even spoke with the person I had on the phone to confirm the details so there would be no confusion. She also helped me find the right products for removing paint from cabinet hardware and other project materials. Throughout the process, Maria was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me complete my project successfully. Her guidance gave me confidence that I was purchasing the right products, and she made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. The level of care and attention she provided stood out and made a lasting impression. **Thank you, Maria, for your excellent customer service, patience, and expertise. Your willingness to take the time to help me throughout my project made a real difference, and I truly appreciate it. Home Depot is fortunate to have someone as dedicated and knowledgeable as you.** **A very grateful customer** Lady Cj

They've always been extremely respectful, considerate and have helped me with finding the right parts and giving me information how to fix complex things I didn't understand.

I knew I didn't want to buy a new mower, so I finally gave in and looked up a local mower repair shop and came across HK. I called and described my issue which then they mentioned the carburetor might need to be cleaned and gave me a quote. When I dropped it off a couple days later, they suggested a full tune up for not much more than the orginal quote which I thought was fair and worth doing since I never got it done before. After leaving a deposit and waiting 2-3 days, my mower was ready. The guys at HK Small Engine provided great service and communication for the repair. They promised to give me a call if the work went over their original quote, which it didn't. The turnaround time was fine with me and price was fair. My mower works and sounds better than before which makes me excited to mow my lawn again! I'll be sure to come back for any future services.

I have to know there was a sale going on, but you wouldn't know it from inside that store. There were no posters about the sale or anything unlike all the other locations I've been to. I asked if they were doing the promotion and was told yes. But I shouldn't have to beg to get the discount. What's worse: there are no prices on anything! You have to ask a sales person to get the price on even the smallest items. What kind of store does that? Is the price determined by how much he likes me? What I'm wearing? How rich I look? It's ridiculous. I ordered multiple sample size paint and one of them was mixed incorrectly. Skip this location.

THE BEST PAINT STORE…read more I was looking for paint since I was remodeling my house and wanted a more long lasting quality paint. The bald guy that was helping me was so informative. He was so helpful with my swatches for the interior of my house and even helped me choose the best finishing. The paint was ready within minutes and he helped me bring it to the car which I appreciated since it was so heavy. They have everything from brushes, wood stains, tape etc. to help with the process of painting. I also really like how all their products are really high quality. Definitely will back for future home renovations!!
