What Our Customers Say

  • This is the hardware store I've been dreaming of in SF. The staff know their business, and they're willing to talk through a question, whether it's $5 of sandpaper or a $2000 table saw. And when I bought more stuff than fit in my little car, they organized a delivery ON THE SAME DAY. The folks are local, and they actually have stuff in the store you can buy and take home. Great selection of quality tools, fasteners, and other things I am looking for. Unlike the big box bummers, or the locally-owned but unfortunate, nearly-always disappointing, badly managed smaller shops, I really look forward to my errands here. TBH, they're going to break me of my habit of buying DeWalt tools--I'd so much rather buy here, so I'm going to end up with the brands they sell. Skip the others, come to Center Hardware. ps: I love their COVID rules, I feel safe shopping here, very much unlike Lowes or DBS where maskless people crowd you. Thanks, Center!!

  • The staff here is amazing. Always found what I needed, and the staff are always happy to help. In one particular situation, I was billed $300 for repair/replacement of an item and instead came in to Center Hardware for some help. I told an associate my situation, and they gave me the products and step by step instructions I needed to do the repair myself. After all was said in done, the $10 and time I spent there saved me from a $300 bill. For that, I'll choose to shop here from now on. You can't find better customer service and expertise elsewhere.
