I told him what I needed and I followed him to where the items were. Marcos who was the young lad who took and showed me the items I needed was super helpful. He answered my questions and overall made my shopping experience awesome. When it was time to check out. Albert rang uptrend transaction and was friendly too. You're ally don't find good customer service and generally when I walk in a store, they won't even acknowledge me and co tinue with their side chat. Kudos to Marcos & Albert

We looked at some paint colors, picked up a couple samples, and went home to decide. Woke up this morning, went into the store and was again greeted by a smiling Russ :) we asked him to summon a paint specialist and he walked to the paint counter and mixed our paint. This dude is the service MAN! Closing, opening, mixing paint, what the hell, he should probably be managing! Nice work Russ! And Outdoor Supply? Pretty cool.

I decided to go to Pete's Ace Hardware after finding no help at my local Lowes. I needed a cabinet…read moredoor hinge replacement. The staff at Lowes said he was only doing stocking and I should pick out possible replacements and if it does not work, return for refund. His and my incompetence was at the same level. An entirely different experience at Pete's. Within seconds after entering the store, a staff member asked if he could help me. I showed him item I needed and he found the exact model needed and asked another associate to confirm it. Never get this type of service at a Big Box store.

(5/18 @ 3:35 pm) Large African American man pointed at the sign in a rude manor "IT SAYS EMPLOYEE'S ONLY." I was just asking for a favor I just needed a couple more feet for my fob to connect to my car from the garden area. The regular garden employee is always super sweet. I come here often and NEVER have I been talked so rudely. Needless to say I walked out and went to another store for my gardening needs.

East Oakland has undeniable issues, but we also have gems. I've lived here for 21 years and just…read morediscovered Sayfee's Hardware, which has apparently been right here on International aka E 14th since the 1980s. My son's air filter cord needed to be replaced. Hardware stores used to do things like that, but every other place we called told us they couldn't help. We found Sayfee's in the old-school phone book and were told "bring it in and I'll take a look." The owner showed my teen son how to open up the air filter and deep clean it, and when that didn't do the trick, he rewired the appliance for us for a very reasonable price. I'm not one to toss things in the landfill that are repairable, so I was thrilled to find someone close to home who could fix it for us! The place is nondescript from the outside, but the personal service inside is worth a visit! We'll be Sayfee's customers going forward.

They've always been extremely respectful, considerate and have helped me with finding the right parts and giving me information how to fix complex things I didn't understand.

I knew I didn't want to buy a new mower, so I finally gave in and looked up a local mower repair shop and came across HK. I called and described my issue which then they mentioned the carburetor might need to be cleaned and gave me a quote. When I dropped it off a couple days later, they suggested a full tune up for not much more than the orginal quote which I thought was fair and worth doing since I never got it done before. After leaving a deposit and waiting 2-3 days, my mower was ready. The guys at HK Small Engine provided great service and communication for the repair. They promised to give me a call if the work went over their original quote, which it didn't. The turnaround time was fine with me and price was fair. My mower works and sounds better than before which makes me excited to mow my lawn again! I'll be sure to come back for any future services.

I have to know there was a sale going on, but you wouldn't know it from inside that store. There were no posters about the sale or anything unlike all the other locations I've been to. I asked if they were doing the promotion and was told yes. But I shouldn't have to beg to get the discount. What's worse: there are no prices on anything! You have to ask a sales person to get the price on even the smallest items. What kind of store does that? Is the price determined by how much he likes me? What I'm wearing? How rich I look? It's ridiculous. I ordered multiple sample size paint and one of them was mixed incorrectly. Skip this location.

THE BEST PAINT STORE…read more I was looking for paint since I was remodeling my house and wanted a more long lasting quality paint. The bald guy that was helping me was so informative. He was so helpful with my swatches for the interior of my house and even helped me choose the best finishing.

They have everything from brushes, wood stains, tape etc. to help with the process of painting. I also really like how all their products are really high quality. Definitely will back for future home renovations!!
