When you shop some preowned items like I do, they don't always come with all their parts. This was…read morethe case with a beautiful vanity sink combination. It was missing the smallest little brass fitting. to re-hook the waterline. The brand is Pfister and the parts aren't readily available apparently. Luckily the nice guys at Ace Hardware in San Rafael sent me to Rubenstein's! George looked at the fitting I brought in my first visit and ordered the part directly from the manufacturer. Brian called me yesterday to let me know the part arrived! he also reminded me they were treating their customers to tacos on Friday to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! I came and picked up my part from Sam and my delicious tacos from the two lovely ladies who catered today's lunch. They are a caterer out of Hayward, but they cater everywhere in the bay area, so here's to #Taquizas el guero! I received wonderful service from the guys at Rubenstein's not only that my two fittings cost me a whopping $1.64! In the words of Charlie Sheen " Winning!!!!

I was looking for new rubber gromets for a Pedal Steel volume pedal…read more I approached the desk & found Mike Rast working with another customer. Normally I'd go hunting myself but decided to wait. When he finished I showed him the volume pedal he immediately took interest & instead of directing to what looks like hundred of draws holding screws & gromets he took the pedal & I followed. He then fit the pedal with the right gromets within 5-10 mins which would have taken me a hour & I'd probably have wrong fit. Good service is hard to find these days but great service is rarely seen! Hats of to Mike Rast for making my day. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

We like to give business to local merchants. We wanted to purchase a replacement faucet set for our…read morebathroom. We found a set we liked and asked for help. We had 2 questions , how much was it and did it come in other finishes. The "faucet guy" brought us over to the customer service counter and stated to look up the item we were interested in buying. He had just started his query when another employee walked up and "faucet guy" stopped working on our question and got into a long discussion about what he wanted. The 2nd guy left and the "faucet guy went back to his computer to answer our question. Two minutes later another employee asked him for help on her computer. "Faucet guy" stopped helping us and went over to help his coworker. After several minutes he returned to us but was again interrupted by his coworker for hep with another customer. Once again he stopped helping us and went to her assistance. Now 15 minutes had passed and we still had no answer to our questions. We finally decided to heck with it and left. "Faucet guy" was still busy helping his associate with her customer. We went home found what we wanted on line at Amazon, got it cheaper and had it show up in 24 hours. If Jackson wants to keep in business they need to teach staff to handle one customer at a time. We will never go back.

I had a problem with an order, and Rob could not of been nicer in helping me resolve it. He certainly went above and beyond, going the extra mile to help me.

If you need anything to do with plumbing supplies, I'm happy to give my unconditional recommendation to them--you won't be disappointed.

We purchased a 45-year-old home in Santa Rosa that required extensive remodeling. Initially, we…read morevisited Gilman Kitchens simply to gather ideas for a future kitchen renovation, as we were not yet ready to begin. However, after our first meeting with Manon Demers, we decided to move forward with the remodel. We came in with some ideas of our own--such as navy blue lower cabinets with white upper cabinets--and Manon was able to enhance our vision by presenting excellent samples and offering thoughtful, practical guidance. She visited our home before demolition, helped us visualize cabinet and appliance placement, and prepared detailed plans for the project. We relied heavily on Manon's expertise for the cabinetry and countertops, while selecting our own appliances, cabinet hardware, lighting, and wall treatments. The project planning began in June and was completed by the end of October. Working with Manon was a pleasure throughout the entire process. She is knowledgeable, professional, and highly experienced. We are extremely pleased with the results and highly recommend Gilman Kitchens and Baths for anyone seeking a beautiful, well-executed kitchen remodel.

One sales person (i assume)…read morewas walking by and since she had to go right past me asked if I needed help, and kept walking. After I said yes, she came back and answered my questions. But all the while, it never felt like she even cared for my business. Did they have some amount of items? Yes. Did they have any labels to figure what is what? No. Were they friendly? No How did I feel as a customer? It sucked, My list of items included a high end faucet, sink, wolf range, a sub zero, toilets and few other things. That is about $20k+. My tactic is to ask about the lowest priced item because, I like people who will take care of any customer coming into the store. I will not set foot in this store again.

I stopped in quickly to grab a jar of their Gravy Base - we use it every year for Thanksgiving. Staff greeted me soon after I entered, asking if I needed any assistance. I didn't, but appreciated the offer. The gravy and other Thanksgiving items are conveniently and beautifully displayed near the entrance. I did quickly tour the store - fun to shop with the eyes! Over the years we've purchased pots and pans, wine glasses, dish towels, and more kitchen/dining items from them. That reminds me...my dish towels need a refresh! We've also purchased foodie gifts: gourmet pastas and tomato sauces, olive oils, bread mixes... The quality products and customer service keep us coming back.
