The Home Depot

The service here had made me switch from Lowes! I have a Lowes closer to me than this Home Depot but the extra miles are worth the nice people!!! Thank you!

We came to this Home Depot with my husband and my in laws who are visiting from Chicago right now for Mother’s Day weekend and Jim aka «Gunny» spotted my mother in law and I and asked if we needed help with anything. We for sure needed help and he lead us in the right direction. He stayed as long as he could in case we needed help carrying anything after making a decision but a phone call diverted him elsewhere. Come to find out, he was diverted to help my husband and father in law with a grill we had decided to purchase. My mother in laws first reaction was pure amazement at how friendly the service was! Gunny helped to the point of loading us up in our vehicle and we feel that his service should be commended! You can truly sense he loves his job and the products that are being sold at Home Depot ! Thank you Gunny!

Okay I’m going to keep it real right now, I have no business coming in Home Depo lol. The only reason we went in was to get a carpet knife (which is an actual thing!) and some painters tape (to use to put designs on my finger nails). I give this store 5 stars because I found that stuff really easy. Thanks Home Depo for making my nails look amazing!!!

Good selection of products. Staff is helpful. I actually bought my washer and dryer from them when I moved here from NorCal. Delivery was prompt and I got a good deal with a military discount. I like how they support the local Vets with DAV parking. They are the first company that I’ve encountered with that. Keep up the good work.

I do carpenter/​construction work and visit this place a lot. Most of the contractors desk is great. Some of the employees are knowledgable. If you are not as knowledgable in the carpentry field then it is very possible that you could get some very bad advice. My other groans with al the Home Depots is that they can’t seem to make all their stores the same. It would be nice if I was in a hurry and could go right where I needed to if I was in a different store. You can still get what you need. Pretty much every construction need. At good prices.

I know I’m suppose to hate big box stores and all they stand for. I’m suppose to shop local and all that but as I detail in this review (
) the hardware store by my house has pretty slim hours. If I need an extra part I have to wait until they open again. So I go to Lowes in Highland Heights and increasingly Home Depot in Cold Spring.
Sure they’re monolithic corporations but only if you limit your view. For one, all the employees are local. Don’t they deserve a paycheck and decent benefits?
But as Tip O’Neil said of politics, It’s all local.
If you’re a home owner and especially a home owner of a house old enough to collect social security you spend a lot of time at these places. In doing so, you get to know the guys who work the electrical, painting and plumbing sections.
For example, the painting guys at Lowes are great. Very helpful. If you’re blowing your money on something silly — as I usually try to do — they’ll warn you off if you ask their advice. I go to Lowe’s for my paint stuff.
I go to Lowes for my garden stuff too. I’ve not noticed a difference between them an Home Depot and since Lowes is closer they get my Gardening dollars.
But for plumbing I go to Home Depot. Why? They’re helpful whereas at Lowes I always seem to get this grumpy old man roaming the plumbing aisle looking for someone to condescend to. At Home Depot I get some young dude who is trained in plumbing but hasn’t found a job yet that’s enough to make him leave (or so he told me). He’s helpful and creative (another trait of owners of old homes).
On electrical stuff, it’s a tie. Both are equally unhelpful.
