A real old-fashioned hardware store when I asked them if they had jute twine they asked me two or three strands try asking that question and getting an answer like that from a Home Depot

They have all the basics and the most knowledgeable friendly staff…. plus they’ll give your dog a treat…. Try baller before going to the depot or Amazon, your dog will thank you.

The best Hardware store in Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Hollywood area. This store has been open 61 years providing unparalleled customer service!Baller Hardware expanded into Highland Parktaking over the Do It Best Hardware Store!Highly recommended.

Customer Service is outstanding. The workers come to you and ask if you need help not like Box stores where you have to find someone or people having a chat rather than helping you.

Been coming here for years and its always one of the excellent buying reviews in any class not to mention compared to a massive corporate hardware store. This area has a first rate selection for its size and people who paintings there are informed and pleasant- many were there for extra than a decade. you would should be a real grump not to love this region. thank you for making purchase local an clean desire.

Review №14

I have lived on the Eastside of town for the majority of my fifty plus years. For at least 36 of those years i have actively supported and patronized Baller choosing them over a big box store even when that meant paying higher prices and having less selection. This is no longer the case.For anyone that cares, baller hardware does not support the wearing of face masks and if you ask an employee not wearing a face mask to put one on you will be berated and made fun of. The store will fill with echoes of criticism of mask wearing and people who support it. If you value your health do not go inside

Cannot say enough good things about this business. My house is still standing due to them. Great selection of merchandise; even fun soap & organic candles. They have so many things the older houses in the neighborhood need that Home Depot has never heard of. Even mothballs.the staff is just wonderful. I always enjoy going there. You can ask questions, and learn things.

I went to Baller Hardware to pick up a bistro set I ordered online at Do It Hardware. No problem, but when I got it home the chairs didnt come together like they should have. So I went back to Baller and asked if they could help me figure out why they werent coming together. The owner, took almost an hour out of his day, when the store was quite busy, and helped me. He was able to get the chairs together for me and even helped me carry the finished chairs to my car. I couldnt have been more pleased. Everyone in the store was nice and I really had a wonderful experience. It may be a small store, but they make up in helpful attitude what they lack in space. I am happy to give them five stars.

One of the last great neighborhood hardware stores. Despite being small it has darn near everything you need for repairs around the house and projects. Great selection of cleaning supplies, spray paint, and good quality products. The sales people are super knowledgable and helpful!

Baller has been my go to hardware store since I moved to silver lake 13 years ago. They are a wonderful mom and pop style hardware store. I always try Baller before large corporate stores. There is always employees wandering the aisles ready to help

Been coming here for years and its consistently one of the best shopping experiences in any category let alone compared to a big corporate hardware store. This place has a great selection for its size and those who work there are knowledgeable and friendly- many have been there for more than a decade. Youd have to be a real grump not to love this place. Thanks for making buy local an easy choice.

I was referred by people who gave rave reviews about how they rekey locks. i went for just that purpose - which also happens to be advertised in paint on the side of their building, “We Rekey Locks.”Inside I struggled to find help. When I did, the first associate told me to “find Dave or Cesar.” The Front desk pointed me to paint and told me to ask for Mike. Mike was helping another customer at a glacial pace. and failed to acknowledge me after i waved politely several times and then stood like an idiot for 5 minutes. Also 2 out of those three employees did not wear a mask.I went to home depot - they also rekey locks.

This place is awesome. The people are great and the store is packed with most things that you need. Try to avoid Home Depot, etc.: go here.

Review №33

Baller, rhyme this local institution with valor and you are there. Get a spare key made, pick up a hat you have also needed - that wide brimmed seagrass one landscapers and surfers alike wear endearingly. Get your wooden dowels on aisle 1, and ask for their handmade candles or salves at check-out. Super super friendly and savvy staff. Not to mention the soulful 80s music. Safely safely distancing to the groove, 6 ft apart with valor.

A really great local hardware store. Obviously the selection isnt going to be the same as a place like Lowes but they have all the basics and I rarely have an issue not finding what I need. Friendly staff and great prices too

Review №39

I continued to tell myself to come back here. Wanted to support local businesses. But the 15 times or so that I’ve continued to come back, I have NEVER been given even DECENT customer service. Not one person in this place has manners, they can’t even say “excuse me” as they ignore you walking down the aisles helping someone else. Each time I’ve even asked a question I was made to feel stupid or less than that I was even asking the question.This last time I walked in with an ottoman that I couldn’t find the correct Allen wrench size for and a dog in leash in hand and not ONE person acknowledged me carrying two heavy things in my hands, and I even stood there and waited by register for a minute - and clerk even looked at me!! And nothing. This is the last time I’ll go into this place, and I suggest you don’t bother yourself. Terrible customer service, terrible organization of shelves, terrible selection of products, and terrible lighting which makes you feel like you’re in a horror movie.

Today was my first time to visit this location. Ive been familiar with Baller Hardware for decades and lived close to the factory in Sausalito. This particular Baller Hardware is wonderful - beautiful space and very pleasant staff. I plan to go return soon. For those who think the merchandise is overpriced, I want to add that Ive had my Baller Hardware plates, etc. for years. They dont break easily and are well worth the price!

This is the notion you have in your head of the perfect hardware store. Family run. Incredibly well stocked. And...for a relative do-it-yourself dummy like me...a knowledgeable, patient, and friendly person who was more than happy to counsel me on a project that was over my head. This person literally does not exist in a Big Box hardware store. It was the kind of experience that restores your faith in humanity!

I always go to Baller first--I prefer getting help and saving time to wandering aisles of the big stores that have inexperienced help and long lines. I also like supporting such a terrific resource two miles from my house. No question is too stupid and the folks who work there really try to understand what I need and offer great solutions when Im uncertain about how to do something.

This is my favorite store in Los Angeles. They seem to have just about everything! I stopped wasting time going to Home Depot for anything.This store has the rare old fashioned friendly family owned vibe and an incredible amount of helpful and needed items! Ive even found things I wouldnt expect them to have! I was looking for a fingernail brush at Bed Bath and Beyond and they only offered one lame choice, but Baller actually had a great one there!Now I go to Baller first before any other store! One more thing, the woman at the checkout counter is so helpful and sweet. I cant wait to go there again!

Baller is a household name in Silverlake / Los Feliz area (Silverlandia). They are extremely friendly, very good hardware products at affordable price.
