This is my home port when it comes to hardware, tools, and lumber. I'm in Boulder Creek, so it's the easiest place to go, but it's also a really great store. First and foremost, the staff is awesome. Everyone is great, they are super helpful and pretty much always nice, and they really know answers to real questions. The prices are good, since they are part of ACE, and selection is good enough for most things. If I can't find what I like, I can go to the larger stores in Felton or Scotts valley (or even the big box store in Capitola), but I mostly don't need to. It's a great store with great people, decent prices, and way more selection than you might have expected given their somewhat small size. Love them, highly recommend them to anyone. read more

This Boulder Creek hardware store is well stocked and has staff that is helpful and friendly.

I went to the hardware store portion of Scarborough Lumber and Building Supply this weekend and I was blown away. I've never encountered a more organized and well stocked shop. It was magical browsing through their superbly organized aisles. If you wanted hand soap - they must have had at least 10 different kinds. If you want mops - they have about 10 different ones. If you want a BBQ - they have a plethora of options. From art supplies, to cooking supplies, to hardware basics - and so much more - this place is a wonderland. You can find pretty much everything here and their staff were extremely helpful as well. From hardware store - to lumber supply haven - Scarborough is a neighborhood institution. Trust. read more

Immediately after walking in a very helpful associate with long hair pointed out all the hardware I'd need and sent me to Trevor in plumbing who quickly found what I needed, as well as loaded it into my car for me and helped ring me up! I'll definitely be coming back for my quick project needs! read more

My 20 year old Stihl MS290 just came back and is cutting like a brand new saw. I had to wait a little longer than I wanted to, but the performance of my saw makes up for the long wait. My go to hardware store for whatever I have ever needed to keep my home and my volunteers building maintenances going. I have found out, if you are looking for something or can't find something. Ask! They have things hiding in different spots and you may be presently surprised. I like Larry and Jennifer, who have been there a very long time. read more

I've gone to Scarborough Lumber for over 35 years and they are one of the best hardware stores out there period. In Boulder Creek, we have the luxury of two hardware stores literally within a block of each other and both are really good when it comes to customer service, but Scarborough has a bigger staff and larger selection of merchandise as well as a limited lumber yard. I tip my hat to the staff at Scarborough for really knowing their stuff and if they don't know about it or have it in stock, they won't hesitate to find the answer for you or even direct you to their competition if they know they have it. I mean, come on, who does that? Home Depot? Think not. Lowes? Pffft! The staff is a great mix of seasoned hardware veterans and young folks, but regardless of who waits on you, they all go out of their way to help you find what you need and answer all of your home project questions. I seek out George if I know he's working. He's been there a long time and is flat out amazing when it comes to technical questions especially with electrical. Plus, he's the nicest, most down to earth person you'll ever run across with a TON of patience for even the stupidest questions (I know, because I ask a lot of them). I hope they're paying you well George! ;) Bravo Scarborough! You guys are the BEST! And oh yeah, that old neon sign out front is amazing when its working. read more

Scarborough Lumber - Twilight Neon - Hardware Stores Near Me - Boulder Creek, California

Best lumber supply store around!. All of the Scarboroughs stores are top notch but Boulder Creek is especially kind since all of the folks there are always more than happy to help you in any way that they can and if you are a homeowner that needs a chainsaw serviced or repaired you couldn't find a better qualified saw repair person than Jeff since he not only knows stihls in and out but can work on most all other brands too. read more

I am guaranteed on occasion to find most of what I need with kind and friendly service. Afterall, their other store, down the street, routinely sends me here for every little thing usreess that it doesn't carry - like a screwdriver. Makes me wonder what is actually on the shelves in that mysterious store, down the street. I'll have to visit someday, just to see if there's anything there I might not need. No matter - they'll just send me down the street, anyway. read more

Great service, I went in to get some vacuum bags and some tack's for my pictures last week and was greeted immediately when I walked in the store. I think her name was Madison, nice girl, she asked what I was looking for and then walked me right to the right section where my items were. Very helpful. After that she rang me up and offered me a reward card, which I signed up for, very quick and easy. I will be returning for other home needs in the future for sure. read more

Great store. The staff is knowledgeable and very kind. More or less built my whole home out of this store, they have everything including paint and a great lumber yard. Would not go anywhere else. read more

Pleased to review a recent visit to Scarborough Lumber in Boulder Creek, which I have been to many times over more than 40 years now. I was seeking a replacement hose for a sink sprayer. Unable to find the proper mate for a replacement hose only, I was offered some assistance from Scarborough staffer Carlos. It took some doing, but after unsuccessfully trying multiple sizes, and mating other nuts and fittings etc, for my odd sized fitting, Carlos stayed with it and finally found a complete replacement kit that matched. I was easily able to install it and now I'm a hero at home. As a long time customer I've found the staff very helpful and pleasant, but I was just particularly pleased with the assistance I had from Carlos and just want to say thanks. Howard read more

I am a new resident to Boulder Creek and am now living in the home of my dreams. Too bad all the yard improvements were not all ready lol. Off to Ace to start my new and now going to long relationship, I had been in there for this or that over the last six months nothing to exciting, stuff I knew and needed no help. Now it is spring and I want wait no need a garden with all this incredible sun I have (yes I know sun you say and in Boulder Creek, yes it is true) the garden must happen. Problems, 1. Gofers are on nuclear waste supplements and are hungry, huge and numerous as in every 4 feet gofer hole. 2. Need raised bed and want to buy the right stuff the first time to solve problem number 1. 3. Kind of know what I need but not really. I have been to the Ace over the last two weeks much time to get the CORRECT kind of wood, wire, hardware, tools I needed but did not own yet and I am kind of fussy about quality. I would rather pay more to get the best and the correct stuff. They all were great, from getting the correct wood and finding pieces I liked, ordering extra wire, helping me with finding the right hardware and many other misc. things. Very positive experience. You could go someplace else and maybe pay less but you're not going to get the high level of service from that place and it is close to home. read more

Best hardware/lumber yard I've ever been to. Staff is very helpful I went in there was was immediately greeted by one of the lovely employees I think her name was Carly,she was very nice and helped me find just what I was looking for. read more

Doug C. is wrong - Just a Fluke, these folks are fantastic and the girls are all smoking hot!!!

Very helpful with all my projects. If they don't have it they will give you direction. All the people who work there are friendly

If you need service go some place else. I was the only one in the store at 5pm and could not find any one to help me find a part. My wife's birthday and we had a broken connection to the well. I called out for help for 15 min and no response. The few people there were Bull shi*ting with each other. After finding something that would work, I headed to check out. They said they thought it was a JOKE I needed help. One guy walked by and said he could not help me. WTF, read more

I have done business with Scarborough for years. The elder owner is very approachable, when he is in town. He really cares about his business. The managers and employees want to make sure that you are helped and leave with what you want. If they do not have it, they do not have an issue to tell you to go to Home Depot or Lowes. As this is a smaller volume business than the large chains, as you would expect there is a premium on their prices compared with driving over the hill. As expected, they have a much smaller selection than the big chains. Boulder Creek is a much smaller store than Ben Lomand, but if they have it in another store, they will call the store and put the item aside for you. Larry the manager@ Boulder Creek will give you a price break if you ask for it and buy enough volume. Good customer service, OK prices, OK selection. If you do not want to drive over the hill, this is a place for hardware. For bulk lumber, there is another business I prefer to buy from. If I am buying small quantities, I will come here. The people that work on chainsaws are top-notch! read more
