Great experience, Marco listened to the issue I had with my bed frame and gave me handy advice. He was also nice to my pup and gave her a treat. This is the only hardware store I’m going too from now on.

THEY HAVE SO MUCH STUFF. THE PEOPLE WHO RUN IT ARE VERY HELPFUL. THEIR PRICES ARE COMPETITIVE TO INEXPENSIVE. THEYRE EASY TO SEE FROM MOVING TRAFFIC AND ARE OPEN FROM SUNUP TO SUNDOWN.

Small store, but has about everything you will need. Very friendly and helpful staff - just tell them what you want to do, and they’ll tell you what you need. Very reasonably priced, especially for the location.

Maybe the store itself is good but the owner WAS SO RUDE. I went to pick up a package and didnt know the retailer re-routed my package twice. The owner gave me a huge attitude because I supposedly gave him the wrong address to look up. I kept asking him to check by my name but for whatever reason, he just kept saying I had no package there. it wasnt until I told him he was being very rude that he finally checked. And lo and behold my package was there. Of course he couldnt let that go and kept blaming me for giving him the wrong address. Why the hell couldnt he just check by my name? What an a**hole.

Just about everything you need for your place is here. So many items that youll definitely need a knowledgeable staff person to point you Im the right direction. This place kept me going through the pandemic when few businesses were open. Its a must stop as there are few hardware stores north of Market and East of Van Ness

This is one of the best hardware stores I have been to. They have a great selection, especially for such a small space. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Review №12

I rarely write reviews, but for this place, I knew I had to. It’s a tiny store, but somehow the owner has jammed EVERYTHING you might need inside. And I mean EVERYTHING — paint, darts, lumber, camping fuel, whistles, candles, blenders. It’s insane. No matter what zany thing I find myself needing last minute, they’ve got it. Or will order it for next-day delivery and pick-up. The owner is also super sweet and immediately offers to help find whatever you might need. Best spot in the city.

If they dont have it you probably dont need it.There is a very helpful staff and a extensive inventory.Theres a whole nother back up to the store that I never knew was there!I was standing in line waiting for my turn, a guy came in and needed a key cut, he was double parked, the clerk cut the key took his money and had the guy out of there in about 4 minutes.Outstanding!.UPDATEI return looking for a plumbing part the man found the exact part I needed and installed it for me so I could return an install the assembly. Five stars!

This place is amazing. They have tons of things and if not in front then ask cause they might have it in the back. The owner is usually there and he is very helpful with advise. I’m always amazed when I’m there. Thanks

Review №17

My initial impressions of this store were not altogether positive; I had initially given it three stars. But since moving to an apartment within a block of the store I have become a more frequent customer and am now updating my review to five stars.I had initially been put off by two of the men who work at (own?) the store. I now know that under their somewhat gruff exteriors, the two are very warm, knowledgeable, and helpful guys, who I have come to appreciate very much. They will do whatever they can to help find the part or product — or solution — you need. And the store carries everything. It is stocked full of thousands of products, covering every inch of space in the store. I love having this store in my neighborhood and highly recommend giving them a try next time you are In need of a hardware store.

Im going to attribute all the attention I received there to an eager staff ready and willing to help and not to me beinged profiled because of someones biases. Otherwise I wouldve given 4-4.5 ⭐s.

Love this place. They have literally everything you can imagine, from clothing hangers to christmas lights to saw drills to screws to plaster spatulas to car tire pimps. Been coming here for years and thought I’d finally leave a review as I’m moving farther to Soma

The owner of this store is quite a guy. I accidentally snapped my front door key in half the night before and this skilled and kind man was able to replicate it without a problem. This saved me $150 on calling a locksmith!I noticed the place was well stocked with just about anything you could ever need while I briefly waited. Also, it serves as a package pick up point if you need to receive a postal delivery.Thanks so much!

No stars if possible. I’ve only lived here for a couple months and I’ve stopped in twice before today — both times the family was rude and would not take their eyes off you, assuming you’re a theif. I definitely don’t think I give off those vibes. Today I went it and they were the exact same, sarcastic and rude. They asked if they could “help” and given the past couple times, I wanted you say no but I figured a little help would be nice. Of course, it was anything but helpful. I tried to explain what I was looking for and the man would not listen to me. Then after pointing me to the wrong product I explained why I didn’t think it would work and he said well then just don’t put up the lights, laughed and walked off. I proceeded to checkout after finding what I thought would be a better fit and the woman at the desk was horrid. No thank you, no come back soon — nothing. Instead she just changed my card looking down the whole day and set my card on the table and didn’t even say bye or have a good day. Just terrible service and I hope they aren’t in business much longer. (And I NEVER say that)Brownies down on Polk is the hardware store you wanna take your time and money to.

Review №35

Went here the other day to get a screwdriver and brought in what i needed to unscrew they sold my a screwdriver that was to small and now my screws are stripped. When I went back in I was told to just buy the right screwdriver online which is what I tried from the get go before going to a hardware store for help. Then I was told to apply more pressure. Which can sometimes get them but also makes it strip far easier. So now i got three stripped screws, an Im screwed. Wouldve been better if they told me they didnt have it.

I love hardware stores in general but this one is on the top of my list! Ive received excellent service here and Michael always goes out of his way to provide suggestions to any project or problem. Once I bought some plywood to slip on my mattress and these peeps actually helped me carry it 2 blocks to my home. Three thumbs up!

Review №37

I love this store. Youll be amazed that this small store is packed with more than everything you expect to a hardware store. As an artist who do biking, sewing, wood-working, sometimes accidentally staining the carpet with oil paint, and ruining a saucepan, I often rush into and leave this store with stuffs perfectly matched to my needs. Its really well-stocked and people here are always friendly and helpful.

Very helpful and the guy took the time to help me buy the right stuff, also was very polite.edit: have been few years sense the last review, updating to also point out that the main guy that works there is very knowledgeable he always knows exactly what I need to fix something or exactly what the missing piece is. I highly recommend this place.

Review №41

OK, Im sorry, but @NobHillHardware is one of the best things about this neighborhood. No matter what strange, ill-explained request I walk in with, Marco and Michael find me exactly what I need, for cheap, coupled with the advice to make me appear handy. This time they helped me retrofit a box spring into a malfit sidewalk-found frame.Granted, I havent jumped up and down on the bed yet; Ill try that out tonight. Damn, now I wish I wasnt probably moving soon...

The guys who run this store are super helpful every time, and they have most everything you need packed in a pretty small store. More than a couple times theyve given me little extra pieces of this or that for free, to help finish one of the many odd projects i have going on. This is what a neighborhood store should be.

Review №48

Great selection and excellent service! They wouldnt let me leave until I got the best screw driver for my project. Thats right, they spent 20 mins making sure I got the perfect $6 tool.

Review №49

As few have mentioned before, the owner may initially seem gruff, but he’s a total sweetheart and time and again goes above and beyond in customer service.If you come in with an oddball question, he (or his staff) will either surprise you with a wonderfully simple solution or if necessary, help you come up with an alternative option as necessary.The store may seem a little cramped/ packed to the gills at first, but the staff know where everything is and then some, so instead of struggling with DIY, find one of them and ask! Reliably positive experiences and we would happily go out of our way to use this shop.

This is the best hardware store. In managing an apartment building, I need something different every few weeks. Whatever I need, he always has it, and he shows me exactly how to use it. I highly recommend this store.

This store is not just family-owned, but also has literally everything you need. Hardware? They got it. Kitchenware? Right there. Camping gear? Aisle 3. Home furnishings? They got it all. This place is a godsend for someone like me who is new to the neighborhood and wants friendly, local service with the same convenience of going to a Walmart. Couldnt recommend more.

Pleasant staff, large selection of household items in a small space. I found exactly what I was looking for, and found some other obscure items that I needed but wasnt looking for while browsing the densely stocked aisles.The prices seemed quite reasonable as well, which is rare these days in SF.

Extremely attentive and knowledgeable. I can go here for actual advice on how to do something rather than dealing with employees at big box retailers who have little clue about home improvement. I am glad these places still exist.

Review №62

The owner typically works the place, and though he may seem a bit reserved at first, he instantly turns into a customer-service Superman the second you ask for help with something. The store is exteremely well stocked with a wide array of items that range from typical hardware merchandise to freakshly out-of-place items youd never expect to find at a neighborhood hardware store. A great source for out-of-the-ordinary items.

Review №70

The owner falsely accused me for someone else or thought i stole from him previous trip to his store. Everyone I went in the store I at least spent $100. I do not steal nor do I look like or act like one who does. I am very offended by his false accusation and embarrassment by him checking my briefcase in front of customers to find out I had nothing of his tucked away. Then after that happened he said my friend was bad news and I shouldnt come back to his store again!!?????!!?? What a dumb idiot That guy is! Bad business for sure. So now I gladly spend lots of money at Coles hardware on Polk st! They deserve the business much more than nob hill hardware Russian dueshbag

Review №77

The owner and his erm...friend *wink* are very helpful and friendly, despite looking imposing at first, being large and Slavs. The store is well stock with basically everything you need for the gone or projects within. I hung a dish rack from the ceiling, or up a hanging chair, raised and diverted my showerhead, replaced a faucet, retired my lighting fixtures, put a brew organizer system in my closet and put hooks and take in my fort so for under half what i expected to pay. When i got the wrong small part four times, we laughed and he helped me without worry. His dog is super cute too. This is the kind of local business that I wouldnt mind paying more at, and I dont even have to do that. His hours are not exactly at posted (8:30am is wishful thinking), but the owner and friend are the only staff, and always make the experience pleasant.
