Celebrating Alamo Ace Hardware: from a long time customer. The magic of Alamo Ace Hardware starts with its remarkable longtime general manager, Keith Gilbert--part ringmaster, part retail genius--who's been running the show since the days of Yardbird. Thanks to Keith, this isn't just a hardware store...it's an experience. Walk through the doors during any holiday season and you're immediately greeted with festive, colorful, over-the-top displays that put a smile on your face. Then the real adventure begins--where else can you find Grandma-worthy homemade pies, Pokémon cards, a seriously swoon-worthy kitchen section, and every nut, bolt, and tool imaginable all under one roof? Alamo Ace has that rare, old-school, family-run feel--where people actually know what they're talking about and are genuinely happy to help you. It's the kind of place where you come in for a lightbulb and leave wondering how you lived without one of their Apple pies. Huge shout-out to the all-star team: Sharon in Electrical, Michael, Marty, Brennon, and Bill in Paint; Norm and Sue in Customer Service; Dennis, Al, and Bruce in Fasteners; Dianne and Kelly in Kitchen; Valerie in Garden; and Annie, Laurie, Joan, and Sharon at Checkout. And to anyone I missed--thank you. You all make this place what it is, a real neighborhood treasure! We are beyond lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood. read more

So I am a local electrician/ handyman and I spend a lot of time buying materials in hardware stores so I'm one contractor that has his eyes open for what's best for not only myself but my customers as well. This afternoon after completing some minor electrical work for a customer,the woman asked me if I could replace the 40 year old hose Bibb in the back of her house. Long story short this turned into a Hugh mess and I found myself at Alamo Hardware with an employee named Al and the manager himself working on this frozen part and the ace crew were 100% trying everything they sold in an attempt to resolve problem regardless of the fact I only needed a $2.00 washer. This place is over the top i give it 6 stars it takes atleast one more to illustrate how much this place shines read more

See all

This place is so convenient, with tons of staff around to help guide you to the right area, provide advice on products and answer questions. For a pretty small sized hardware store, they almost always have what I need. I feel like when I go in here I can get honest advice I'd get from my dad. It's a pretty cool feeling. They have a huge section dedicated to gift store stuff and kitchen gadgets, as well as an outdoor garden center. Hidden in the back is another outdoor area with a ton of irrigation supplies, pipes, etc. Prices are pretty competitive with the big box stores like Home Depot. Maybe a tiny bit more, but for the convenience of a closer location it's worth it. Parking can be a little hectic when it's busy, but it's all right out front. read more

Went in for some parts to fix my outdoor water fountain and I had no idea where anything was. Upon walking in I was instantly greeted and helped by Matt and Bruce. They knew exactly what I needed and didn't mind showing me exactly where to find each item. My trip was short and sweet and I was checked out without any issues at all. I super appreciate the help Matt and Bruce gave me and will definitely be back to the Alamo location if I ever need anything hardware or garden related. Thanks again gentlemen! read more

Alamo Ace is my local hardware store and I go there all the time. Their customer service is consistently fantastic -- it actually feels like the people there enjoy helping customers. I came in early this morning to get some aluminum strips cut, and Craig was awesome. Great selection, great service, and I really appreciate having them nearby. read more

Very courteous, attentive customer service. While looking for some lighting fixtures, I encountered two employees, Sue and Mark, who were very helpful and kind in assisting me. They led me to the products that I was looking for and provided much useful information. read more

Thank you Ro for the delivery and great overview. Appreciate the time you took to make sure it was placed in the B.Y. and offering your culinary arts suggestions to the mix. read more

Had a new barbecue delivered from Alamo Ace Hardware today by Ro and Casey. They did an outstanding job. The window was 2-4 and they were at our home at two. They were able to explain a few things and then took away our old one. Very efficient. read more

Alamo Ace Hardware continues to provide exceptional service and advice. Bruce, has been able to assist me with materials needed for a variety of plumbing projects. Thank you for providing excellent and friendly service. read more

I walked into the store, and I was greeted by Keith, I I told him I was looking for a grinder wheel for my DeWalt grinder. I had it in my hand within 30 seconds. Keith is like the ChatGPT of Ace Hardware stores. read more

Love this location! Their selection in the gift area is the best. They have the best holiday decor around Christmas. They carry a lot of items that are from local small businesses. This location has a good variety of sustainable products or that are earth friendly that I can't find anywhere else. The employees are always friendly and helpful! read more

If you're in Danville and need anything for your home, go straight to Ace Hardware in Danville. This store is the definition of what customer service should be. Keith went above and beyond in every sense of the word. He didn't just point us in the right direction -- he took the time to understand exactly what we needed, walked us through options, and made sure we left confident in our purchase. That level of care is rare. Brennan was equally impressive -- incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us solve the problem the right way. You can tell the team here knows their products inside and out. What we love most is that no one ever leaves a customer hanging. Every employee is proactive, engaged, and eager to help -- the complete opposite of the big box stores where staff seem to disappear the moment you have a question. This is how retail should be done. Friendly, knowledgeable, and service-driven. We absolutely love this store and will keep coming back. THANK YOU KEITH!!! read more

If you have screen doors or windows that need repairs, take them to Marty at Ace hardware Alamo!! The attention to detail and high level of service is unbelievable! It is also extremely cost effective for the value they are providing. Craig and Marty called me and had a couple questions to make sure I was getting what I wanted and I'm thrilled with the result!! Well done guys!!! Don't waste your time going anywhere else, go see the fine folks at Ace Hardware Alamo - they will take good care of you!! read more

I went into the store to see how I could reinforce my weber grill knobs since two of mine had broken. The store manager, Keith, happen to walk by and asked me what I was looking for, and I told him I needed a way to reinforce my grill knobs. He said don't worry they are under warranty. He had new replacement knobs in the back room, no charge, and I was back to grilling with my Summit grill I purchased from this store several years ago, along with my Traeger BBQ a year later. I have been shopping this store ever since it replaced Yardbirds for my hardware store and BBQ/Grilling needs, it's convenient as heck for me being two miles from my home. The employees have always been very helpful, friendly and resourceful (like Keith) making it a place I like to give my business to. read more

This place is awesome! I came here with an old rusty Coleman lantern from the 50's with one screw that was rusted in so badly I couldn't get it out. Gavin and Flynn worked at it for an hour trying a variety of tools and methods to get it out before resorting to an extractor. Along the way they gave me a lot of tips to try for next time. This is the most helpful hardware store I have ever been to and I really appreciate how helpful everyone here is. And The Kitchen --- I have never seen a hardware store with if you're such a selection of kitchenware and cooking equipment. Seriously, if you are into bakeware you can get yourself into a LOT of trouble here ;=) Great place, worth a visit. read more

What a true gem in our neighborhood, everyone at the Alamo Ace Hardware is beyond helpful and so knowledgeable for whatever your needs may be. Keith is fabulous and Deb is a master at finding the perfect items for gift giving. The Kitchen is also first rate ! One stop shopping for any and all you're looking for ! read more

Love, love this store. Keith Gilbert, store manager, is always helpful and resourceful. Debbie Cecaci has excellent taste in decor and gifts-I always find something new for myself or a loved one. read more

This is the most amazing store!! The Christmas shop has the most wonderful selection of home decor, candles and gift giving ideas. As soon as I stepped inside the door I found the most darling outdoor Christmas lights. The home decor and kitchen shop is always my year round go to place whenever I need the perfect gift or something new for myself. This location also has such a great selection of gifts for kids. I was there recently with a friend and it was hard to decide between all the darling plush for her grandchildren. If you haven't yet discovered this gem you're missing out!!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and makes shopping a breeze. I highly recommend this business!! read more

ACE in Alamo CA has an extremely helpful and knowledgeable salesman named BRUCE (Isle #12), who assisted me with measuring, selecting, and cutting PVC pipe to create the perfect perch for the vultures at the CA Raptor Center. All I had to do was measure the height, width/depth, length of the original perch I hoped to copy, drop off the measurements on my lunchbreak, and Bruce did the rest! I picked up the cut pieces, plus corresponding elbows and T-joints the same day! Because the intended use was to help education and ambassador animals, Bruce also provided a discount! Bruce could not have been more friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and enjoyable to work with! The vultures--Merry and Pippin--wanted Bruce to know how much they ADORE their matching perches! Now each has their own "station" for training and sun bathing! THANK YOU BRUCE! Sincerely, Nancy, Merry, and Pippin--CA Raptor Center, Davis CA. read more

Five stars all the way around! Every member of the Alamo Ace Hardware team has been such a pleasure and incredibly helpful. Keith, Deb and the whole crew make this a one-stop shop for any home improvement project we aim to take on! read more

Big-time Service and helpful staff in a small town environment. Love it! Wouldn't know what to do without this place...

I love this store! They have unique toys (my kids love their toys) and gifts and decor! The people are friendly and super helpful. I've been coming here for years and go out of my way to shop at this particular Ace Hardware. read more

I was visiting family and we needed something from the local hardware store and went into Alamo ACE Hardware. What an amazing store. It has everything. Definitely a one stop shop. I was completely amazed, from Hardware to home decor to gift and kitchen items. I was able to get a few extra christmas gifts for family I missed on my list. Everyone was so gracious and helpful. I've been to ACE Hardware stores and none can compare to this store. read more

Great store great people and The Kitchen is a huge bonus! Anything to avoid a trip to Home Depot is good for me

They did it again!! The folks at ACE in Alamo helped me replace the flush lever on my decades-of toilet. Brennan helped me find the solution and offered expert advice that made the job much easier. From Brennan;s expert assistance and advice to the pleasant lady at the checkout register-well as their saying goes: "Ace is the Place"!! read more

In the past, one thought of ACE hardware as a store that sells hardware. No more. This store offers fantastic selections in their kitchen & home departments, Christmas decor, and even has a separate kid's toy department. Every year we look forward for the Christmas section to open and it is a WOW...no other ACE can compete. I met Debbie, the creative director and buyer of this department, and her excitement for anything Christmas is infectious. Love this store! read more

Love the kitchen, the decor, and the large kids section. The holidays bring even more selections and help to kick off the season in style. I can count on them to have just what I'm looking for, and a team of people that are amazing and knowledgeable. read more

When I'm ready to step into Christmas shopping but dread rifling through crowded stores and parking lots, I ALWAYS start my season at The Kitchen shop at Ace Hardware in Alamo. I find everything I need! Of course, outdoor decor is abundant but it is the treasures I find in The Kitchen and the attached children and home department that I can get lost in. So much to see and feel inspired by. As much as I would love to keep this place a secret, the people who work there are kind and community minded and I want to encourage supporting local businesses. And to top it off, Ace sends out coupons for discounts which I always appreciate. read more

Keith and his crew (Marty, Ro, and Rob) did an amazing job installing a HUGE built-in grill and entertaining unit in my backyard. They were super friendly and customer service focused throughout the entire process. Excellent job! read more

I needed help with finding the right cartridge for an old kitchen faucet and replacing it. Marty and Casey came to my rescue. Both were very knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone at Alamo Ace is always very kind and helpful. Thank you!! read more

The weekend wouldn't be complete without (at least) 2 trips to Alamo Ace Hardware. We come here for the customer service, and while all of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, Bruce and Brennan have been my go-to team as the final check to make sure I am not DIY-ing a disaster. I am sure that they have prevented me from hours and hundreds of dollars spent on stupid mistakes. They are what keeps me turning right to go to Ace (rather than left to go to Home Depot). Plus my wife and daughters love them too. read more

To start, the prices were expensive. I recently moved into a new home with my amazing wife and two daughters & noticed two lightbulbs in our general-room were no 'working' despite my efforts to repair them. When I arrived at Ace Hardware I was greeted by a young-man, Gavin. He offered to help me find the items I needed. I showed the young-man my non-functional 'OSRAM 8029' lightbulb (picture attached below I found online). I was then lead upon a wild-goose chase to the light-bulb section of the store to find what I needed... The young-man tried his best to locate my exact model I required. He was unable to locate the model, despite this store being a 'hardware' store they did not have what I needed. The boy did however find me a "suitable" alternative, though the color-matching was noticeably much more yellow, very much not the "same"... Otherwise welcoming environment, with mostly knowledge employees. read more

All ACE employees make you believe they love their job. But a special shout out to Sayar (spelling?). Went to ACE with my grandson who made me follow the forklift that Sayar was driving and Sayar stayed and showed him how the forklift went up and down. This gentleman made our ACE visit feel like a small town fabulous experience. Thank you, Sayar. read more

Very poor experience with Alamo ace hardware last weekend. When a paid advertisement on google indicated that it was in stock, I drove all the way out from San Leandro to pick up a red wagon. Inquired to the product when we got there and they offered to order one, as the "in stock" item was the display and the manager wasn't willing to take the time to get it down for us. This lack of service is why in-person retail is dying. I was willing to spend $70 more for the item if I could get it today... instead I went home and got it the next day from Amazon without the nasty attitude and high price. If you're not willing to sell what's in store, why even have it listed as "in stock" or available for pickup that day?? read more

I have lived in Danville since 1994 and never been into Ace Hardware. Today I went and wow. I have never been to a store with such incredible service. Someone (I can't remember the name, but he had a white beard and white hair) greeted me and asked me what I needed. He copied my key right away and I was out the door in 15 minutes. There were also FOUR people checking our and the line moved so fast. Incredible. I felt like I was back in the 1990s with much better customer service. Thank you Ace Hardware of Alamo! read more

This is a shout-out to Michael who patiently helped me with a new Honda car key. The chip stopped working and a new had to be ordered. Easy process from start to finish with great follow through. Kudos to a great employee!! read more

Been coming here since it was Yardbirds. Really a great, helpful staff. Prices are middle of the road, but the help is first rate. Special shout out to Sharon, who has helped me fix more "honey-dos" than I can count. BTW, the nursery section is usually well stocked and competitively priced. read more

Welp, i placed an order on their website and i paid for it, got the confirmation and everything and then about an hour later i get two emails telling me my order had been canceled. Only no reason why, no information whatsoever. So i call the store and am greeted by a recorded message saying yes, they are indeed open. However after trying every extension on their phone tree, no one answered the phone and there was no opportunity to leave a voicemail. Is this what our local community hardware stores have come to these days? If i wanted a cold lack of customer service, i can turn to Amazon any day. Only with Amazon I am much more likely to actually receive the product I ordered. Henceforth, I will "remember the Alamo" Ace and not return there. read more

Every time I come here I never have a problem getting help (unlike the big box stores). Today I had a project that required very small machine screws and acorn cap nuts. I didn't have much hope that such a specialty item could be found let alone finding it in the store even if they did carry it. I was helped by a kind gentleman named Bruce. He took the time to match the sizes of my existing hardware and thanks to him my project is was a success. Nice folks here and I'm always in favor of supporting local business. read more

Ford was extremely helpful in answering all our questions. He offered amazing support and was kind, patient, and considerate throughout the process. His assistance made a real difference, and we really appreciated it! read more
