    Drill bit set I was interested in.
    Ryan F.

    Got my metric drill bits for my project very quickly. The staff are always quick to help and I was in and out in 5 minutes. I'll be back to support them again the next time I need some hardware!

    Lacy is a rockstar in their paint department and helped me with a $5.99 sample of custom color match because I bought a house where the sellers didn't leave any paint or give me the color information. It was super fast and easy and she was extremely helpful. I also need some outdoor floor and patio paint for my exterior and she helped me get color chips I can use to match what I have outside. Thank you so much Lacy! Highly recommend Paganos for your painting needs and anything else. I went to Sherman Williams in Oakland earlier and their smallest custom paint sample is $35. I remembered Pagano's and called them to ask if they mix paint and what their prices were. So glad I came here instead! It was worth the drive from Oakland to Alameda! Great value at Paganos and excellent customer service!

    Called multiple stores on NYE trying to hunt down a tube of E6000. Finally tracked down a tube at Paganos. High-tailed my ass over! Manager was helpful--and had a sense of humor to boot. Thanks, Paganos!

They had a bunch of stuff for free outside for anyone to take, which says a lot about this business. Just bought a home and Mik, Lacy, and Frank have all been helpful in helping me figure out what is useful and what might not be. Will definitely be taking my business to see them for their excellent customer service at the South Shore location even if it is a farther drive from my daughter's preschool because I appreciate their honesty and loyalty to the customer's goals and needs. Will definitely miss the 50% off but I enjoyed it while it lasted! Thanks Mik, Lacy, and Frank!

I used to shop at the old Lincoln Ave location. You had to ask someone for help to find anything. Same is true at the Central Ave store. The store is packed with merchandise. The other day I was walking around the store looking for wall clocks and bug bulbs, and a store person had to help me. BTW, the store people aren't there to watch for shoplifters. They're there to help you find stuff in a semi-unorganized store. What? Someone is going to steal a bag of anchor bolts? Maybe run out the door with a shop vac? And Yes, they make keys. Pagano's Hardware on Central Ave is in Neptune Plaza at Central Ave x Webster St. Parking in lot, and meter parking on street.

(I do have a cell for emergencies.) I looked online and found a replacement at the Encinal True Value store, spoke to the very capable Mike & ordered it from him. Not long after, I found another one online from the same manufacturer that seemed a better fit for my needs (one receiver instead of 2) at a considerably lower price. Mike agreed to order the 2nd one and match the price. He is a solid guy; even though the wait time was long (I joked with my friends that the warehouse must be in Anchorage), I made the deal. It was necessary to go to the store to pick it up once it came in. When I went there, parking wasn't bad though there is no dedicated store parking, it's all on nearby streets. While there I got a couple of other things for myself and a friend. It's fun to go up and down the aisles, reminds me of my childhood, nostalgic and somehow sweet. Unfortunately, when I later tried to exchange one brand of super glue I'd bought there for another, one of the clerks, a woman, actually followed me (& the friend who'd driven me there) onto the aisle to tell me why I shouldn't do that as we were looking for a better version. Not cool and VERY off-putting. I am old but not feeble-minced. sheesh Let me make up my own darn mind! Sadly, it got worse on my 3rd trip to the store. The same woman clerk took too much convincing when I asked to speak with Mike (I thought he'd undercharged me for the phone set). She became increasingly argumentative, then bordering on nasty. yeah When Mike came up from the back, he had to ask her to step away. She still continued mouthing off. I said, "Wow." And he said, "Wow is right," then proceeded to kindly and patiently explain how I had misread my receipts. I will not reveal her name, she apparently has ample problems to sort out. [I just noticed the horrific post from Brianna M. Oct. 2025 - the road rage woman is highly likely this woman clerk. Good grief, that was a police matter, still is.***] However, I will say - I urge you to look at this store before buying on Amazon. We need to support our local merchants and this is a good one. (Pagano's is DISMAL, don't go there...) But, if you go in, ask for Mike. You really don't want to interact with the wacky woman.*** One star off for the long wait to get the phone set + unasked for "advice" about super glue (Mike did that too during my 3rd visit) One star off for the out of control clerk. ***Yelp staff - this is a public safety issue. I hope you have done everything possible to address it since Brianna M. posted nearly a year ago.
