This hardware store has kept my home operational for 20+ yrs I’ve owned it and likely since their doors opened in the 1940’s as Wisnoms’s the staff is friendly & Knowledgeable! You can fill just about any need here from tools to Birthday gifts... Really! Today I bought acetone, replacement blades, paint, caulk, Soft scrub, compactor bags, a birthday card, reading glasses too Cute! Bird seed, and a plant moisture meter! The team member happy to carry it to my car!!

I had a great experience with your staff. Im older and need a lot of help and they came through for me. Im very appreciative. Too bad the store in Belmont wasnt friendly or helpful. Thanks you San Mateo.

There was a time when the Hassett name stood for a family and not merely a business, a time when Hasset was concerned with the community and not just daily sales goals.My experience this week has taught me those days are over.Hasset Hardware had an inept and dangerous electrical contractor working on their main electrical panel right beside their primary store entrance where anyone could have trippped and fallen into it. I discreetly advised them that their electrical contractor was as dangerous as he was ignorant. Young children walked within 1.5 ft of an exposed and live 300 amp service(Enough electricity to turn the arm of an innocent child into protein based water vapor.) I made sure to explain the immanent danger to Hassett Hardwares manager(essentially a downed powerline was laying beside their door and they have done little more than put two cones out all the while beckoning customers with children to walk within 1.5 ft of an electrical hazard that could kill and permanently disable them) only to have him dismiss it away like a psychopath.Needless to say, this type of apathy towards the well-being of the community they are doing business in is and revolting. As a result I will not be back to Hassett Hardware any time soon and I will also be advising my family and friends to steer clear of Hassett Hardware as well.

Employees are not helpful. If you cannot find something they tell you we don’t have it and walk away.

Horrible place to shop, all the managers are kids, with no adult supervision, and they think they own the business, the property and that they are the only hardware store in town.Please, if your have to buy at a hardware store visit the Ace Hardware store in Burlingame. It is privately owned and not affiliated with any of the Hassett Ace Hardware stores.As its independently owned they REALLY DO APPRECIATE THEIR CUSTOMERS, and even say THANK YOU after the sale.Hassett Hardware is a dump, with zero customer relations, from any of there employees. Dont waste your time, or money, at any Hassett Ace Hardware, they are all unfriendly and run by a bunch of kids who have no idea what customer relations is about.There are several hardware stores that will take you money with a smile like Home Depot, Lowes Hardware, San Mateo Hardware and Ace Hardware in Burlingame.Avoid Ace Hardware in San Mateo, and go where they appreciate you as a customer.Hasssett Ace Hardware in San Mateo is the most unfriendliness place in town.

Nice old fashioned hardware store that carries everything a person might need to run a smooth home. They always seem to have odd things in stock if you need to repair stuff: screws, nails and hooks and you can buy just a few, instead of a whole box.Kitchen ware, items for the car, bathroom necessities, garden supplies, and much, much more. I f they dont have it they will try to get it for you and other customers. Nice to go there and feel they care.

Thank you Enrique and all San Mateo Ace employee for awesome customer service. I was stuck with 4 gallons of base Benjamin Moore paint purchased from orchard supply with no color ( I did not know when I bought it) . We visited Grays paint in Burlingame and the person there was completely rude. We came to Ace store in San Mateo and they are super friendly and helpful. They help us out and gave us a great impression of the store. Will be coming back! Thanks all!

While getting some plumbing supplies I came upon a display for reading glasses which included a free case. These glasses worked for me and the price was so good I made another trip to Hassett Ace Hardware just to buy another pair. The display had one price but when I went to pay for it the clerk said the price was doubled. The old bait and switch con. I asked for the manager to resolve the issue but it was a Sunday and no manger was there.Another problem at a different time was when I needed assistance on the floor but only one guy was helping the customers. All the other staff were off on the side talking to each other so I had to wait until the only staff working finished with other customers.

Found everything I need easy in the well organized compact space with helpful store staff. No need to run around, just enjoyed shopping. Great selection of products sold as a piece at reasonable price. I like it very much as I hate to buy unnecessary things sold by bulk.

The service here rivals any big box store. Prices can be competitive and the variety of products make this Ace a great place to shop at. Parking can be a challenge due to the location and small lot, but that said, Ive never had too much difficulty finding a space.

This is the best hardware store ever. period. it was bought out by ace, but it remains in control of the wisnoms family. its my go to place for anything. I can walk in with a tiny obscure screw, ask if they have it, and boom.most of the employees have been there for a long time, and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. plus, they have cookies for dogs.I have no idea who the other reviewers are that say the help is terrible, etc. have never had anything but great service. look for john- he knows everythingagain- BEST. HARDWARE. STOER.EVER.

This place is absolutely wonderful. I shop here frequently and would encourage others to do so, please keep the local hardware store alive! I have had nothing but stellar customer service every single time. It feels like such a rarity to go to a place where youre asked if you can be helped and the staff seems to know where things are or how to order them in the event that they dont have it. Are the prices above what you might pay at OSH or Home Depot, but only nominally and that is a-okay with me as this store has a dedication to serving its customers that could rival or even beat places like Nordstrom. Every time you find yourself feeling lost at a big box store and that the employees seem to actively be avoiding you, please go and take a look at Hassett as I guarantee you that youll be back when you need something. I also find the location great as I live in downtown San Mateo and its a nice walk to the store, instead of having to use a car to get to any other hardware store.

Enter from the back. The door on the front corner should be the main entrance. I had to ask for help to find something, i. When I went to counter to pay, the gentlemant was way in the back
