Owner was so sweet! We scored a mini (mini) wood working clamp! So cute!! Thanks so much! Such a cute little hidden gem read more

I had a Schlage key copied here and when I got home, I discovered that the key did not work. I went back, had the original copied again, and the new key didn't work either. It's unfortunate that two different experienced employees could not copy a standard key correctly. Not recommended. read more

Everything you need in a small space. Unlike Lowe's or homedepot where you do about 5 miles in the store to search for something that is on the wrong self or out of stock. Watertown is the best. Kmac read more

I called ahead to see if they made keys and the woman on the phone was very nice and helpful. She told me to come in, which I did. The gentleman who made the keys was also very nice. I got five of the same key, and they all worked when I got back to the office. read more

Since moving into my Sausalito fixer-upper in August I've probably been in this store twenty times. They've had everything I looked for, have been patient in helping me figure out what I needed, and only gently teased me when I had keys copied for the fifth time. A Sausalito treasure. And good social distancing processes. #ThankYouThursday read more

We Shop Local. Waterstreet is a treasure trove. It really is: The best- really nice guys behind the counter - they seem to know everything about every little thing I need help with. I've bought a Steam Iron, No Parking Signs. Sos Pads, Nails, Tacks, and a whole lot more.. I have had numerous Keys made, Dowels cut to size, and too many other necessities to mention. Easy parking...such nice guys. If they dont have it You dont needs it. read more

The best hardware store ever! Why? Because the staff are generous with their time and advice. They are friendly, nice and super helpful. Highly recommended. read more

This is the best hardware store ever. I had the kindest man help me today when I came in. They've got everything you could need here, and with a smile and the friendliest service ever. Even under a mask the kindness shines through. I will always come back to this hardware store. I'm Definitely bring my children to place for all our needs. I even got 2 free lollipops for the girls. I love the variety of selection of all things. They are so helpful they go out of their way to do whatever the can to help you out of a jiffy. A++ customer service. Wish there were more stores like this around. read more

Staff really know what they re doing. if you have a specific need, they work with you to solve it. My first choice for local hardware store - the real deal, home style. read more

One of the last old fashioned and hard-working hardware stores still in existence. Lots of people are there each day with jobs ranging from big to tiny. The guys who work here really know their stuff and their inventory. You can go in there with a small part, lightbulb or other random piece and chances are, you'll walk out with a new one, instructions on how to fix it or other help. They also give out dog biscuits so all the local dogs like touring their owners by. Easy street parking and I believe the building used to be the old schoolhouse in Sausalito (it just was moved from the hill). read more

There are very few hardware stores worthy of the name. This is one. The staff is truly helpful. The inventory is extensive and well selected. read more

Great neighborhood store! I almost never have to go to HomeDepot because this store exists and I'm really grateful whenever I can avoid HD. Also think of coming here first before ordering stuff on amazon. read more

I was so pleasantly surprised from the minute I walked in. I had brought in five keys that another hardware store screwed up for the second time. Whoever helped me was so kind and warm. In fact, he said that because you've been through so much grief these keys are on us. Made me cry. Gave him a big hug. I really needed it. Thank you again guys! Will give you the rest of my business for the rest of my days! read more

Waterstreet Hardware is the best. They have everything you need for a home project and so much more. And the staff are wonderful and so helpful. read more

This is a great store and I am glad that we still have these Mom and Pop stores around. One of the reasons a lot of people go to big stores like Hope Depot is because of the supposed "selection." Well Waterstreet Hardware is literally stacked to the ceiling with anything you could possibly need. They have a variety of other services as well. This place is how things were and how I wish they would be. I think everyone should continue to support local places like this! read more

I've been here a couple times since moving to Sausalito and the people are incredibly nice and helpful! Definitely beats going to an Ace Hardware or any other chain... They surprisingly have anything you could possibly need at this store, and if they don't have it, they will find it and order it for you. Oh, and it only costs $2.00 to get keys made! Prices here are super reasonable, even though you think they would be much more. Plus, shopping here kinda makes you feel like you really do live in Stars Hollow... read more

Everytime I've been here, they have had what I needed. Prices are good. Just ask the people at the counter what you're looking for, and they'll show it to you. I don't know how they get so many things in such a small space. Great staff and a little of everything, if you need something and you're local stop here first. read more

People here are incredibly nice. Maybe I'm just getting used to Sausalito personalities vs. City personalities, but I had to return an item or two and I got my money back, no hassle. Thanks so much! Open early but not too late. NB: They carry galoshes! ARGH I should've bought them here, they're hanging so cutely in the rafters! read more

This is the BEST hardware store ever! I'm not kidding. It's also small but somehow they ALWAYS have everything I need. One time I brought my suitcase in to see what kind of screw I needed for the little foot on the bottom that was half broken off. Well...not only did they find the right screw but the woman who was working that day tugged, grunted and yanked the little foot off, repaired it, then screwed it back on. I couldn't have gotten that much help at the shoe repair across the street, (that's another story ..) They have helped me with so many little projects so I baked them a chocolate cake last summer. I went back in the next day to pick up my plate and there it was with a piece of cake still on it. They saved a piece for one of the employees who loves chocolate cake. Who does that? Helpful and they look out for each other. What a place!!! read more

Convenient and friendly. Better than a big box store. Old school customer service with a smile.

This is one of the best hardware stores in my opinion in Marin County very quaint very small but it has it all every employee is kind and knows their business and knows their product I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone anytime if you need Hardware painting supplies Cleaning Supplies Hardware for your boat they have it all read more

I'd give it ten stars if I could. Hands down best hardware store ever. Staff are super helpful and highly skilled at translating my ambiguous requests "I need one of those thingamajingies..." into the exact item I was searching for yet could not name. Seriously this place is amazing--go there once and I guarantee you'll be thinking up more projects just so you can go back again. read more

Next to art supplies, I love checking out stuff one can use to create other stuff. I can't remember the last time I was in a hardware store this tiny, yet so thoroughly packed to the rafters. Walk in, stand anywhere, and try to take it all in--wow! The people who work here are very nice, and give us one more excuse to try and skip the big box stores further up the freeway. I'm still smiling. read more

Love this place and especially all the really nice and helpful guys who work there and the friendly vibe. They give lovely roses to the ladies on Valentine's day. I always find what I need there in the jam packed store. A local Sausalito treasure. read more

I'll come here over going to Goodman's anytime. Even when you think there is no way this little store is going to have what you're looking for in stock....they have it and two other options you didn't even know about. "Yes we have that in brass, but wouldn't stainless steel be better for your purpose?" The knowledgeable staff are always willing to help with advice, and I know many of my little projects have succeeded because of something I learned from them. Good luck with that at Goodman's. read more

They have everything in a small space with helpful, attentive staff. They even carry a good selection of Lodge cast iron cookware.

This is the best hardware store. They have everything, even canning supplies. The service is great, and the workers are funny. If you are local, no need to go elsewhere. read more

They are way smaller than Home Depot and OSH but somehow they always seem to have what I am looking for. Friendly, knowledgeable and experienced staff. A true neighbor hood store any community can only wish for. read more

This is the classic example of the small town hardware store. They have everything. I can't tell you how many times I was able to walk over to pick up what I needed and didn't have to drive. I hope they stay open forever! read more

Wow, a long time local spot. All the sailors go here for the hard to find items, and the staff is super friendly. They even have fuses for houses with old time wiring, knob and tube. It sure beats going to the HD, or rather large companies. Support your local businesses Marinites! read more

Love this place; a true hardware store; just came in for batteries; they have everything you need and it is very no nonsense.

Great small hardware store with everything your need. Nice people and knowledgeable. Thank you. It was a joy to come into your store.

Is there anything one could want and not find it in this place? It's stocked floor to ceiling with every conceivable item you might require for the house. Ok, maybe they don't have bidets and those fancy Japanese commodes that shoot warm water into your crevices but then Home Chepo doesn't either. In a pinch? A bind? Kitchen sink backed up? Toilet not responding to the plunger? Go to this place and ask the old timers who own and work at the place. Two old Sausalito dudes that represent the way things were and indeed the way things should be. Support local businesses! Say no to the big chains that suck the life and character out of our towns and cities. Stepping inside this place is like stepping back in time into a general goods store. Haven't had a bad experience here. And you won't get ripped off either. read more

The best hardware store in the world. Why? Because the folks who work at this location are wonderful people who take great care to order the products that customers need. Every time that I shop at this hardware store, I am grateful that the place is still around. They always have what I need, and play nice music too.Thank you local hardware store. read more
