Estrella Hardware

This is a great family business. It’s not a huge store that has absolutely everything, but whatever they lack, they are willing to order for you. That being said, you’ll definitely find most things you need in there. I bought a drill from them MONTHS ago and never used it and lost the receipt — they were willing to take it back and give me store credit. Just kind, trusting, helpful neighborhood people.

This here is a really terrific neighborhood hardware store. It’s not as big as some others (you can’t really walk around looking at lots of bits & pieces), but the service and prices more than make up for this. The younger gentleman is always so willing to help whenever we go in. He never tries to oversell and always gives clear advice. I wish I needed to go in more often!

The people at this hardware store make it even harder for me to leave my neighborhood! I’m moving out next week and am busily spackling and repainting, but unfortunately I didn’t save any of the paint I used to paint the walls when I moved in. I also didn’t remember what brand or shade I bought, but I did have a little painted sample on a piece of paper that I used to match other stuff I bought for the room. I took the paper to them and we matched it to a shade of paint. After the guy there mixed the paint up, we realized it was a full shade too dark due to a computer or mixing mistake, so he mixed up another pint for me. It seemed like a perfect match so I took it home, but realized when I got there that it was too light. The next morning, I took it back and we added some more blue, and he even gave me a little bottle cap full of the dark blue mix so I could add more myself in case it was still too light. He also helped me get a few other cheap things I needed, like sand paper and a brush.
They’re so nice here, and I’m really glad the hardware store across the street happened to be closed! Otherwise I would never have come in.
They accept credit cards but they have to charge tax if you use a card, so take cash if possible.
