I moved to Simi Valley about a year ago from the greater Los Angeles area, hoping to escape lack of civility, crowds, and general city issues like lines and forever traffic. I have to say, Simi Valley has been a delightful surprise! It's such a safe and friendly community where everyone is eager to lend a hand, very "Mayberry" in fact. I often wonder if Andy Griffith is the actual sheriff . [A joke of course]. Even though it's a larger area, I still love that it maintains a cozy "city" vibe with everything you could possibly need, just like in LA. One of my favorite local spots is DIY--it makes you feel truly valued the moment you walk in. The staff is super welcoming and always ready to assist you, unlike those big hardware chains in LA where you can wander around for ages before someone notices you! There's a couple of friendly kitties lounging around also. Recently, I found myself in a bit of a bind because my power was shut off for about 5 days due to the recent fires, so I couldn't use my tools at home for this project.. I popped into DIY to grab a solid 10ft steel pipe for a flagpole to support my Starlink, and that's where Raemon really came to the rescue! He was incredibly helpful, drilling the holes I needed, searching for the correct bolts and screws I needed, even offering to deliver the pipe to my home since I didn't have a vehicle that could handle it. I really appreciated that he took the time to help, especially since he was about to clock out. I tried to offer him a tip and gas money, but he initially refused, though I insisted! Thank you so much, Raemon--you truly made my Starlink mission a success, and I'm so grateful!

I wouldn't expect him to walk me all the way to where the item was, being that it was across quite a few aisles, but he took the time to do so, even while leaning on a shopping cart for support of his bad leg. It's always a nice few extra minutes spent just looking around the household stuff and interesting things probably not found in an average store.

I wasn't totally familiar with Dunn Edwards but it kept being mentioned to me by contractors that I…read morespoke with about painting projects. When I needed to repaint interior walls, I initially wanted to use the same brand that the builder used over a decade ago, but I was told that Dunn Edwards paint is high quality and the painters preferred material. They're also able to match pretty much any color of you bring them a clean sample at least an inch wide. As a non-contractor, this store was very easy to navigate and the staff was more than helpful making sure I got the correct supplies. What I noticed during application of their paint is that the roller does not splatter much and has excellent coverage, which is helpful for interior ceilings. Relatively great value, don't waste your time and money at Home Depot or Lowe's for watered down paint. Highly recommend this place!

I knew it was not an easy job to make it "look like it never happened". Luckily, I was able to find Raul on Yelp. He was easy to communicate with in person, and I could tell that he had seen this situation before! Drywall and texture can take a few days to do correctly, and Raul explained to me that some contractors prefer to get everything done in a day at the expense of quality. He showed up early, kept everything clean, and his work is EXCELLENT. If you ever have a drywall project, I'd strongly consider Raul, especially if you have a well lit area with texture that needs to look right.
