I recently bought a house and have been working on so many home improvement projects. I am at Lowe's so much I should probably just get a part time job there! I have found the employees to be very helpful, the products to be great quality, and the prices to be reasonable. I have bought a ton of plants, mulch, and other lawn materials in the past few weeks and have gotten some great deals!

Well I finally got it delivered. They cam in and installed it quickly left it a bit high. Then I tried to back and every time I did the food was over done so I called and they guided me to adjust the heat. I asked for a service person to check the setting. But they didn't suggested I get a thermometer and check. The oven was running 50 degree too high. And the stove take forever to get hot. Don't know why they did not check everything before leaving

First of all, I like Home Depot. So, why am I here? Simply, I really like Lowe's too. In some ways, I must like them a bit better. I've many of the same praises for both e.g. great service, great products, helpful employees...
However, reviewing my most recent substantial purchases (new washer/dryer, vinyl fencing, pressure washer...), I got them at Lowe's. Hmmm, makes you wonder. That says something...
That being the case, the Lowe's stores seem brighter/more appealing than HD. As for me, I don't really care one way or the other. However, my wife definitely likes Lowe's better for those types of reasons... thus, the previously mentioned purchases. What can I say? If she's happy... well, I'm happy 8^)

We bought a home and have had many projects, one of which is replacing doors. I called them after my bad experience with Home Depot and because of what we had gone through, they did the estimate at no charge. Our installer was Steve, who is one of the nicest, laid back guys I've ever met. He and his assistant did a wonderful job on all doors, and Lowe's calls back to make sure everything went okay. If we buy more lumber than we need (or anything) they gladly take back the leftover. They also give a military discount, which adds up.

I have had to go to the Lowe's store in Alachua, FL a zillion times for different needs as we build a house. The appliance dept. and Son, one of the employees has gone above and beyond helping us. Even the delivery people for the appliances were great - as our original w/d combo. Wouldn't fit, so we had to return. We have gotten so many items from them and their return policy is great; they have a special way of tracking all your receipts if you sign up for a special card---great idea.

They and home despot go to manufacturers and have items made cheaply just for them, do NOT ever buy ANY faucets from them, especially NOT Moen! The warranties are USELESS as Moens made for bLowes and Home Despot are cheap knock offs made by a 3rd party in indonesia for bLowes! $300 faucet lasted 4 months, lowes gave us the run around, Moen would NOT repair or replace it, we were out $400! Same goes with ceiling fans, they only sell items from certain manufacturers and not all home improvement product manufacturers, only the ones who WILL make knock off cheaper just for them is what they sell! Do yourself a favor, only buy from a REAL lumber yard/hardware store/plumbing supply house!

I usually shop for the kind of items Lowes's sells at Home Depot to get a better price but I have and do occasionally shop at Lowes just to get something different or in a category where Lowes has a better or more stylish selection. For example we bought some molded ponds there and an electronic door lock, but I never even look in its lumber section. Eagle Hardware though was even better until it went out of business. The same rule that applies to Home Depot applies here though. If you want to buy just a few screws, nuts or bolts and might even need help finding which one matches what you bring you are much better off going to typical hardware store, even Ace Hardware and we like also a store that specialized in nuts and bolts of all kinds. I use Amazon.com to buy odd sizes of duct such as 5 inch ductwork to replace what was on a an old installation. Lowes does a better job of presentation of products than many of its competitors in terms of display.

Looking at house plans are one of my wife's hobbies. She really liked this book. There are big houses and small ones.

Their employee decided to insult and ridicule me when I asked about a Veteran's discount. I have not set foot inside a Lowes since that day, and I never will.
