Coronado Hardware Glass & Paint at 140 Orange Avenue has served Coronado Island as an independent hardware store since Pam and Phil Hammett purchased the location in 1987, making it a woman-owned operation now in its fourth decade on the island's main commercial corridor. Phil Hammett, a general contractor since 1982, runs the window and door department, handling on-site measurement, retrofit framing, and full installation for the single-pane-to-dual-pane upgrades common in Coronado's pre-1970 housing stock. The glass department cuts custom panes, replaces broken storefronts, and fabricates screen inserts for the salt-air-damaged frames that accumulate in homes along Coronado Beach and the village blocks, while the paint counter runs a full-spectrum tinting system across Frazee, Valspar, and Sherwin-Williams formulations that contractors that Coronado Painting Pros specifies for coastal exterior recoats in the 92118 ZIP. Do It Best cooperative membership gives the store access to more than 67,000 SKUs through warehouse distribution, stocking plumbing parts, electrical components, fasteners, lumber, and a garden center operating under CDFA nursery license R-168H. Seasonal décor, decorative flags, switch mats, kitchen gifts, and Coronado-branded souvenirs share floor space with the core hardware inventory, drawing both contractors and visitors looking for Coronado shopping in one stop. Residential builders working projects throughout the village source framing materials and finish hardware from the same counter where homeowners pick up household repair supplies, a breadth of stock that general contractors including QualCraft Construction draw from during active island remodels. The BBB A-plus accreditation held since 2018 backs a complaint-free commercial record across nearly four decades at the north end of Orange Avenue, three blocks from Hotel Del Coronado.
