Home Improvements near Elk Grove Village, IL

“I had to get a new faucet and the supervisor in the faucet department gave me an incredible deal and was absolutely above and beyond with help. I feel bad cause I forgot his name. But I will be going back for any home needs for sure. Pretty sure , this is the only five star I ever gave.”

“They are so knowledgeable and always help me to find the perfect hardware. I always bring either a cabinet door or a handle I removed to make sure I get the right size. If you can't find what you are looking for there you won't find it anywhere.”

“I found Around Town Glass & Mirror in April 2025. I needed my glass shower door acrylic strip replaced - it had become cracked and difficult to clean. Not only did they replace, they showed me how to clean and what to clean with to not damage. In addition, they adjusted the door so it would swing closed. Cost $60.00.
I thought that was a fair cost.
As they were leaving, I inquired if they replaced glass in mirrors.
I handed over a full length antique morror encased in wood that belonged to my Great Grandmother. I requested a beveled mirror. That took about 4 weeks and was a little under $300.00 (what I expected). Both jobs were executed beautifully and professionally.”

“I had such an exceptional experience at this Home Depot location that I felt compelled to share it.

After visiting multiple stores trying to find a plant that matched the aesthetic I needed for my office, I kept running into limitations and was honestly feeling discouraged. When I arrived at this location, I was greeted by Aidan, who immediately stood out for his kindness and willingness to help. He took the time to really listen to what I was trying to accomplish and genuinely cared about finding a solution.

Shortly after, the manager, Shi, stepped in — and together, they went above and beyond to make something work for me. What impressed me the most was not just that they helped, but how they helped: with positivity, creativity, and a true customer-first attitude that I hadn’t experienced at other locations.

Aidan personally assisted me every step of the way, and both him and Shi made me feel like my request truly mattered. Even when I had to come back with a small issue afterward, Shi handled it with the same level of professionalism and kindness, immediately resolving it without hesitation.

It’s rare to come across people who genuinely care about customer experience the way they do. Their attitude, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile made a lasting impression on me.

Thank you, Aidan and Shi — you turned what had been a frustrating search into such a positive and memorable experience. I truly appreciate you both.”

“Super fast curbside pickup and very friendly associates! I ordered some caulk, caulk gun and misc supplies and 30 seconds after I tapped “I’m here” I had my items. Thank you for quick and efficient service.”

“Great service, helpful and knowledgeable people, competitive prices. A great “go to” when you need to get projects done. What you need is in stock and immediately available. The staff knows the projects in their department and will help when a project crosses over multiple departments. They also know the latest products available and can inform and demonstrate them. Way better than your father’s hardware store. The team at the Palatine store is outstanding.”

“I’ve been a life-long Home Depot customer and they’ve earned my trust and loyalty. Nothing but amazing things happening at this local Palatine Home Depot! They really embody “How Doers Get More Done. You can do it. We can help” mindset. I don’t believe there was ever a time I came in and they didn’t have what I was looking for or HELPED ME by any means get what I needed.

Note to MANAGEMENT: Sadly though, I had to report a concerning experience I had with COREY in the Plumbing department. I came into the store looking for an adapter for a new shower head I was installing. Corey approached me and offered his help, which I accepted. Without checking inventory or offering to look further, he immediately stated, “We don’t have it here. Try buying from the manufacturer.” This response was both dismissive, super unhelpful, and highly inconvenient. Based on prior positive visits at this store, I found it surprising that no effort was made on Corey’s part to verify availability, other than “try somewhere else.” After Corey walked away, I continued exploring on my own. It took me 20 minutes, but eventually I located the exact adapter I needed that was in-stock!! It was a perfect fit! What was Corey talking about? Did he not want to truly help? Or was he inexperienced and should not be working in plumbing?

Also, while I was testing fittings, I observed and overheard multiple other customers approach Corey for assistance. On every single occasion, I heard him respond with the same statement he gave me moments ago: “We don’t have it here, try elsewhere.” This pattern suggests a lack of effort to assist customers and raises serious concerns about potential lost sales and diminished customer experience. I’m a business owner and thats bad for any business. I truly value Home Depot’s expertise and typically receive excellent service from other employees. However, this first-time interaction with Corey demonstrated poor customer service, unhelpfulness, and blatant misrepresentation of product availability. You would think they want to do everything possible to keep my business, not the exact opposite and send me and many others away. I’m glad I ultimately found what I needed, but the store nearly lost my business due to this experience. Can you image how many hundreds or thousands of dollars this business lost?

I hope this feedback helps improve service standards moving forward.”

“I am a little bit overdue for this review, but it's extremely important that I voice my feelings, which I hope are read, and rewarded by Sheen ??? the Northlake Store Manager. I had a flooring project, which started off on a bad note, mostly my fault, but was then corrected by Debbie from the Flooring Department, who did an OUTSTANDING job of helping me to get it back on track. She was a one of a kind professional and personable customer service rep who went ABOVE AND BEYOND, INCLUDING POST INSTALLATION FOLLOW UP. I can't say enough good things about her, and hope that she gets recognized accordingly. In addition, upon return of my excess materials, and a drawn out discussion, I have to also say that Claudia, and Manager Raquel, also went above and beyond to help me with the challenging credit to my original purchase. All these ladies are the reason that I, and hopefully thousands others, will do business with your store, because they truly make a difference, which I know is the reason that I will remain a committed customer. Please tell each and every one of them how much they made my experience special, and satisfying, and that I look forward to doing business again ! Keep up the great work ladies !!!”

“Came in last week with my wife looking for some indoor plants and had a great experience at Lowe’s. We were helped by a wonderful employee named Sue who was incredibly sweet, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about the plants. She took the time to answer our questions and made the whole visit enjoyable. Sue is truly a treasure and a great representative of Lowe’s!”

“Estela was very helpful at helping me purchase my new washing machine. She also made sure that I got as many discounts as possible! I'm very happy with this purchase and with Home Depot, because of Estela!”

“Fantastic thrift store, they have great selection of new (when they get items in) and used items. Also goes to a great cause, and they’re conscious of the environment which is a nice plus.”

“Patrice as an exceptional employee of Niles location really surprised me with her friendly yet extremely professional approach and made my experience pleasant and satisfying. Thank you Patrice!”

“We bought a table here. They disassembled it for me so that it could get into the car. The staff is very friendly, they told me everything and answered all my questions (taking into account that I am not very fluent in English). I liked the furniture, but it is constantly changing there.”

“This particular Menards is the largest Menards store I've come across. It's 2 stories and there's just about everything under the sun and stars in here.
They always seem to have the 11% rebate, maybe that's just a regular promotion now.
Parking is plentiful and ample handicap spots for patrons with disabilities.
Losing 2 hours in here isn't completely out of the ordinary.”

“Employee of the day, week, month possibly year would be Leslie at the front. She greeted me this morning when I bought a propane tank. Working's hard working on Saturdays can be harder. It's nice to have people who care about what they do and I'll always be back to the store because of that”

“Another great experience with Diamond Paint. They are remarkably helpful people - spent 40 minutes with us custom matching a stain for a new table top - need it to match the rest of the set in our kitchen. No extra charge - just the cost of the stain and varnish. Have had similar great experiences with them before.”

“i had no intentions in buying Lumber coming into Menards today and i recently needed help looking for Lumber for my new patio and Forrest was very very helpful he helped me locate the exact Lumber i was looking for and he was a very charming young man he wasn't rude or mean he knew what he was talking about and i will definitely be back to finish my projects this staff is incredibly helpful”

“Review written 8/17/2025. Customer service kind of rude about a return I did just because I couldn’t find the receipt. I didn’t mind store credit, so why be rude about it?

But nice selection of items including cool inflatables (see black cat pictured here)”
