Rex Ace Hardware

Excellent local hardware store where the customer will get full attention from excellent staff

Wonderful, traditional hardware store with phenomenal staff and service. There are so many reasons this shop has been around for 99+ years, particularly the vast selection of goods packed effectively into a bright corner shop!! Petalumans are really lucky to be able to choose from such a variety of quality offerings in nearly every hardware category you can think of, including housewares like ktchen necessities. Shop here once and you will likely never go back to big box hardware!

Old timey style hardware store. I'd dare say almost cute. Lots of inventory. I like the kitchen / housewares area. Have bought a few items there. The prices were much lower for the same items than sur la table.

Seasonal holiday display and items for the holidays.

The window displays are always fun to see. The windows change out often.

Friendly and helpful employees.

If you're a tourist visitor and walking around Petaluma this store is worth a few minutes of your time. You might even find a souvenir of your visit.

Cute gift shop but we were there for the hardware store. Not particularly friendly. We found what we needed fairly quickly. They do not participate in the Ace Rewards program.

The team at this store truly rocked it today with answering my stupid questions and "guessing" about sizes of things with total respect and kindness. No one told me to call a plumber or get my husband to help me. It took a few trips and lots of pictures, but I am so grateful to this store and its employees today.

very cute hardware store if you want to support local rather than a big name store. Friendly helpful workers.

While moving into our temporary home, we needed some last minute repair and adaptation items, and found out that Friedman Brothers was closed. Undaunted, we jumped onto Yelp and found this Ace hardware and drove right over.

People that work here are super friendly and really helpful. I was really impressed with how many people behind the counter and roving about the store were enthusiastically trying to help me with my various challenges and helping me think up out of the box solutions to my problems.

The store is an awesome conglomeration of basic home improvement and repair selections as well as a very quaint and inclusive home decor/local purveyor purchases. I was able to pick up an awesome looking French press for hubby in a great color and an awesome innovative style along with all of my other purchases that I needed anyway.

I felt like the prices were a little high compared to what I'm used to in comparison to like home Depot or Lowe's but I was willing to pay that difference for the personalized service and the small town feel of supporting a local business rather than a big box store. I'll definitely be back and I'm glad to know that this Ace hardware is so helpful and accessible, with easy offsite parking and inclusive hours for people doing projects early as well as late.

This Petaluma Westside store is the best hardware store in the world. I needed a new vacuum but wanted something a bit different than their store models. The sales person encouraged me to go online to Ace Hardware dot com and find exactly what I wanted, bring my choice vacuum cleaner to them, and they would order it for me. I would not be charged shipping. I did and got my fabulous vacuum cleaner in only 4 days. I love this place. In the years I've shopped with them, I can say I have always found what I needed and the customer service is second to none.

Why I love Rex Ace Hardware - I ordered online from the national Ace Hardware website, selecting curbside pick-up at Rex downtown Petaluma. When you do this for 'big box' stores, you get an email when your product is ready for pick-up. Not so at Rex! I got a phone call from owner Jeff Tomasini telling me the item was ready. Now that's Rex Ace Hardware, shop small for ya! Thanks Jeff!

Simply the best.

Knowledgeable, helpful, friendly folks.
A ton of stuff and a pretty darn good selection.
Small enough to find things on your own (even if you don't have to).

Treat you like family, but in a GOOD way!

I like having access to kitchen materials, household stuff, and tools.

This store epitomizes all the things I like about Petaluma.
