The Home Depot

My go-​to hardware/​paint/​lawn care… home update store in the Twin Ports area.
A huge selection of absolutely everything you’d ever need to keep your home in tip-​top shape. Love all of the landscaping ideas for the summer time.
Customer service is always at its prime. I never have a problem finding that person in orange when I need em’.
Very knowledgeable with paint as well. They will even match the paint color to any piece of fabric, porcelain, material, etc. that you bring in and suggest which type of paint to use depending on what you’re painting, (outdoor, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, etc.)

You can sniff paint for free here. Free samples. Go for the gold or green… Green elves…

This Home Depot is OK. It seems like many of the times I shop here, I am a bit disappointed though. They have a huge selection and are good for most of your home remodeling/​repair needs.
I have found a few areas which are not their strong suit however.
1. Matching paint. They definitely need some work in this department. I brought in a large sample of interior paint to have them match it so that I could do some touch up painting. Well, the color «match» was so far off, that instead of doing a few little touch-​ups, I had to repaint the entire room. This was unfortunate, because then I didn’t have enough paint to finish the whole room. Easy enough… I’ll just bring in the same container that I purchased from them with the computer code on the label and buy the exact same thing. Easier said than done. Once the paint dried, it clearly did not match the paint that I purchased from them before. What a hassle.
2. I would definitely not recommend purchasing or having carpet installed by the Home Depot. Nothing but problem after problem after problem. It took forever, only one of the several employees that I spoke to really seemed concerned with getting the project done in a timely manner, and the quality of the installation really was not that great.
3. I really haven’t been too impressed with the quality or selection of bathroom fixtures and hardware. A few of the employees in that department really didn’t seem like they were working in their area of expertise and weren’t all that helpful.
That’s just a summary… maybe someday I’ll sit down and share with you all of the details.

Found almost all items for the laundry room re-​do here. People were helpful. Paint mixes came out great. I’ll go back again and again.
