    A San Francisco Original with Community Spirit and Great Service Cole Hardware is a San Francisco original! It was founded in 1920 as a small, family-owned business in San Francisco's Cole Valley neighborhood. In 1959, David Karp purchased it. Over the decades, he grew it from its original location to multiple stores across the Bay Area. Cole Hardware is known for its community focus and extensive product selection. The business has weathered challenges like the 1989 earthquake and the 2016 fire that destroyed its flagship store, maintaining its reputation for exceptional customer service and strong community ties. Over the last few years, I have visited for different reasons, and every single time, I am impressed and pleased with their selection of products and wonderful customer service. Their prices are also very competitive. However, what is most valuable to me is the as-needed free consulting one can get from the store's employees. For example, you may have a simple electrical project at home. You can always ask a representative for advice. If they can't answer your question, they will find you a colleague who could. Visit them next time you have a little project or need a basic item for your home.

    Making bacon

    Needed some applewood pellets for my smoker. I called, they told me they stored the pellets away for the season but happy to check to see if they had the applewood. They did and brought up a bag from storage and had it at the counter for me when I came to pick it up. Needed it because I'm making homemade bacon

    Scott was great and did some serious trouble shooting for me that I would not have known how to do on my own.

    Had to get some keys made and I was pleasantly surprised by the very friendly and welcoming service…read more- great to have such a nice neighborhood hardware store

    Best hardware store in the Financial District! You can barely find another hardware store here…read moreunless you find one in another district. My supervisor and some of my colleagues went to the favorite hardware store to buy products like plinks and batteries to make our workplace run smoothly. Maria and the remaining staff have given us a warm welcome with a smile. Not as big as ACE Hardware, I could still buy what's good for my bedroom, and that's the LED light bulbs. Last night, my family and I witnessed a blackout in our neighborhood, and it's never the first time. We each have our own flashlights that came in handy in case the blackout happens again. The light bulbs that my parents once have won't last that long. So, I thought I would buy the ones that last say 22 or more years. For eye comfort, I chose the long, scrawny bulb that would last up to 13 years. The amber light was good for when I study during night time. Hopefully, Philips won't let me down. I might come to Hardware Financial District only to purchase products based on my dad's home repairs. But flashlights and batteries are what we need in case the blackout happens. Don't forget to save energy during daylight.

Batteries were changed in the remote and in the receiver but that didn't solve the issue. I have to add at this point, that this unit is in a rental property and we are landlords who were unable to be on site at the time our tenants brought this to our attention. Laurie, a super communicator and troubleshooter, comes to the rescue. She has a few things to ask the tenants to look for, identify and test. She narrowed down the problem all via email and text. Once the inop part was identified, it was ordered. As soon as it arrived, Laurie called our tenant directly to make an appt for installation. Between Laurie and our (fantastic) tenants, they pretty much took care of things between just the two of them . . . all we needed to do was provide payment. This is so, so appreciated and valued as landlords who were unable to be present at the property at the time. Btw, I also have to add that our tenants had nothing but great things to say about Laurie's communication and the installation visit as well - - - on time, efficient, neat, polite and very courteous. From initial inquiry to repair, all was done within a couple of weeks. The epitome of efficiency. Other companies were booking over a month out and their $ and time estimates were almost double b/c they required one visit to troubleshoot then another to install/repair once they had the part. Thank you Laurie and Warm Solutions for providing such quality services!

    I paid over $11,000 for patio furniture here 6 weeks ago, and I was supposed to have received…read morefurniture covers and a glass cylinder for the fire pit weeks ago. I have talked to the store multiple times about it. Every time they have given me a new arrival date, and every time it has not arrived as promised. Now they tell me the items are back ordered. But why was that not the case 3 weeks ago when they said I would get furniture covers this week????????? Also, there is stuffing coming out of the back rest cushions because there is no liner between the filler and the Sunbrella fabric. I am deeply disappointed in the quality of what I purchased and the store's inability to ensure I get everythingI paid for. Update 12/6/24: They ordered furniture covers from a different place now so that I can get covers sooner. Have been promised delivery in 5-7 business days. Fingers crossed. Update 12/26/24: I got the new covers in that timeframe. They work well and the store called me to make sure they arrived and that I am satisfied with them. This follow up was a nice touch.

    Excellent Selection/Superior Customer Service…read more We have been shopping patio furniture for months in preparation for the summer and though we expected them to be the most expensive because of their location don't let that scare you off. The quality of their furniture is top notch, and in the customer service is outstanding. You are not dealing with a bunch of sales people, they have very one on one sales consultants. They guide their customers showing you options but no pushy sales techniques. You will make your own decision. Delivery is even better. The furniture was delivered in days if it is in stock and on time. Also their fireplace log selection is the best in the area with very fair prices. I highly recommend this store. Don't burn up gas running around. I guarantee it will be worthwhile.
