This store is fairly popular so I recommend going early in the morning. Capital Hardware has a parking lot and there is street parking available.

I usually get excellent personal service and thoughtful advice from this locally owned Ace Hardware…read morein Santa Barbara. It's one of the reasons I like supporting them over the big box stores. That said, I recently had a frustrating experience with a paint purchase. I bought 3 gallons of Cabot semi-solid stain in Oak Brown during a promotion--about $15 less per gallon than the other local paint supplier. I assumed the color would match the same brand and shade used during my 2023 remodel (leftover from my painter), but the result was quite different. Instead of a rich dark chocolate tone that matched my home's trim and fascia boards, the stain came out with lighter red-brown hues--more milk chocolate than expected. I brought the stain back to have it shaken again and asked the paint clerk for advice, but unfortunately the response was defensive and unhelpful. Lesson learned: when it comes to matching existing stain, go back to the original source and always do a test patch--especially for something as visible as a large deck. I'll continue shopping at this Ace for many things, but I'll be more cautious about stain and paint purchases in the future.

Hands down, new favorite place to recommend in town for anything garden or hardware wise. I have been on the lookout lately for low light indoor hanging plants, succulents, and unique herbs. Within 5 minutes of being at Carp Valley Lumber I found all of the above and more. When you walk into the parking lot and turn right to the outdoor garden area they have rows upon rows of gorgeous, healthy plant varieties. I spent probably 45 minutes browsing the "Succulent Salads" collections just to see all the different colors and varieties that there are in the world. I was extremely impressed with the widespread options with such a reasonable price. They even had lush hanging succulents placed in perfect lighting and not half dead like a lot of shops have them. The gal working answered all my herb questions, helped me find pots, checked the back-stock for me, and held my items as I went to my meeting. Very kind and genuine customer service with a lot of helpful knowledge on the plants they carry. The outdoor nursery area also carries garden decor, chairs, fire-pits, and things like such. They have plenty of plant food supply, pesticides, pots, bird feeders, fertilizers and other gardening necessities inside their little hut, as well. Make sure to check out the front right corner where all the air plants and hanging varieties are - it's a beautiful "jungalow" set up! I came for a succulent and left with three more plants and some pots. I even stepped inside the hardware store and bought a $0.98 ceiling hook (right as the power went out). Otherwise I would have shopped longer. I'm very happy with all my purchases, their prices, the parking lot, and the kind, knowledgable customer service. Definitely make sure to give this place a try if you've never been by. I mean how can you pass up a place that sells a Mint Chocolate herb plant that literally smells like Christmas in a plant?

The store clearly gets more merchandise than they can handle, so it just randomly gets put in any open spot they can find. Tool Boxes with refrigerators, cases of laminate flooring displayed with plumbing. And the fact that the aisles now can barely accommodate one shopper walking through from all the clutter and pop up cardboard displays doesn't seem to phase them. Hire and train some people, organize shelves, take a broom off the rack and put it to use, show some pride.

I always tell my Target app when I'm on my way but despite prepping the staff, i still sit there and wait. The Goleta location is much quicker when it comes to this.
