He consistently…read moreprovides excellent personal service and is always reliable when it comes to supplying materials for our jobs at United Chimney. Juan is knowledgeable, responsive, and goes the extra mile to make sure we get exactly what we need, often on short notice. It makes a big difference having someone you can count on in this line of work. Highly recommend working with him if you value good service and professionalism.

We ordered some paver stones from Peninsula Building Materials and had a pretty good experience…read more There were a few paver samples on display, but we are generally not that picky, so we went with the Connecticut Bluestone. The staff gave us a quote, we gave the square footage and stone pattern, and voila -- order placed! We did check out a few other paver retailers and they were a little more expensive. I think Peninsula Building Materials is good for practical people who are not too picky. No Karens.

If you have no other reason to go- this *feels* like a hardware store. I know when I say this I am…read morespeaking to a very specific subset of people. However, when I was a kid, my dad would take me with him to the hardware store, and I would get a lollypop while he and whomever from behind the counter would wander around looking for an eyebolt or the right shade of caulk. Giulio- who I assume is the owner, is easily 10 years older than my mom, who lives in the assisted living up the street. My mom can't be bothered to go to the chair yoga we're paying for, but Giulio went to work. He's not totally mobile, but he knows his s#!t. Whenever I come in, he or whoever else is behind the counter is happy to chat through my issue and suggest something. It's not a Home Depot- so they may not have what you're looking for every time- but they have a lot of things, and it makes me happy to know my money is staying local. Also, side story: One day during the summer, it's like 90, and I am behind a contractor who's getting a bunch of stuff - lumber, rocks...I don't know- but he's paying for it, and he grabs some water bottles for him and his crew and puts them on the counter. Giulio totals him up and says a number; the guy says, "Oh, don't forget these waters". Giulio says, "The town where I come from in Italy has the best water in the world, and it flows right off the mountain. If my father knew I was charging people for water, he'd come back from the dead and strike me down. Those are free." C'mon. How can you not go here first?

I recently had a door issue that a HOA property management company could not get correct for over 4…read moremonths. I did my own research and discovered this gem of a store to get it correct for me all within 7 days. The customer service was friendly and very helpful as soon as I walked in. I discussed my issue and they took it upon themselves to review the project and make the door, supply the necessary supplies and deliver it to me. Going above and beyond without blaming anyone made me confident General Hardware in Redwood City is a "Go To" place! Thank you!

I went to this store a couple years ago to get a few hinges for my kitchen cabinets and had a very…read morepleasant experience. Then last Thursday I went to get more hinges and a young man helped me and gave me hinges I thought were correct. I took them home and my husband said they were the wrong size. I went back today to explain and from the minute my interaction started with the older gentleman there he was rude. I won't support this place in the future. Now I am left to track down the correct hinges and out 32.00.

When I first started my company back in 1995, I quickly learned that OK Lumber was in a league of…read moreits own. There were a few other lumber yards I could have chosen from, but none of them matched the quality of materials or the level of customer service I found here. What always stood out to me was how the business was run--there was pride in the work, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to customers. Over time, I watched other yards come and go, but OK Lumber remained. Even after the original owner retired, it's great to see the family carry on that same standard of excellence. The difference in quality is obvious. While other places might offer lower-grade materials, OK Lumber consistently provides top-tier wood. Yes, you might pay a little more, but you truly get what you pay for--quality, reliability, and service you can trust. What really makes the experience special, though, is the people. It's not just a transaction--they take the time to get to know you and your business. After a while, they're greeting you by your first name, and that kind of relationship is rare these days. If you're looking for more than just a place to buy materials--if you want quality products and a team that genuinely values your business--this is the place to go. I highly recommend. Joe

You can have a great experience with many places that serve the local community, as Gene claims to do, but in his business, you are judged by the moments when things go wrong. I don't need to go into the details because there are enough reviews below that already do, indicating that you should stay away from this place. When you pay more for a local place than you could get from a larger shop, you expect excellent customer service, and it's unfortunate when it's the exact opposite.
