“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’ve been here several times for various home improvement items, garden tools or plants, and even cleaning products (better prices than Amazon!) and this last time I was really impressed by how helpful Scott was in lumber. He helped me find exactly what I needed, even found an alternative option for a 2 x 2 I needed in cedar, and made the cuts for me perfectly. I really appreciated it and my potato box I’m making is coming along nicely. Thanks again!”
“I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to the young man Sean in the lawn equipment area. Not only did he answer all of our questions in our time of need during a power outage but he helped myself and my wife load up other items we would’ve forgotten. BIG Kudos to this gentleman!”
“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.”
“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.”
“John and Tony, who drive the forklift in the yard, were very helpful to me. They were very knowledgeable, efficient, and polite. I needed a total of 34 bags of river rock loaded into my car, which I could never have done on my own. Very grateful they were there and so willing to help. Please add Luke to the list of good guys who know what they’re doing and provide great help when you need it.”
“They had most of the stuff for prep work before major floor refinishing. Good service from the young staff, but typically nobody seems to have any deeper knowledge.”
“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.”
“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!”
“The Home Depot in Bloomingdale is far better than the Home Depot in Carol Stream.
Staff is friendly and helpful. The management appears to truly care about their team. I've personally witnessed two moral building activities by management at this location. Happy employees leads to positive customer experience.
The store is always clean and I can find people to help me when I have a question.
When I use the curbside pick up the employees always great me warmly, some even engage in friendly conversation. I have called management on two occasions to express how positive my experience their store has been. Once the manager said he was going to buy lunch for the employee I spoke of.
Other Home Depot locations are closer to me, but I go to Bloomingdale Home Depot for the customer service.”
“Patrick was very professional and took care of my entire kitchen quickly and it was affordable. The delivery was fast as well and everything arrived in 10/10 condition. Highly recommend!!!”
“Nino at the Pro desk goes above and beyond to assist his customers. Thank you to Nino for your help! I purchased an EMAX Compressor and it was just delivered. I don't think I will ever have to purchase another compressor as long as I live! This thing is a beast!!”
“8/2024 5* Still a great place!
5/2022 5* Great place. Has what I want when I want it. And at a reasonable price typically. So good place to stop. Parking lot is a bit unusual, but it works.
12/2020 5* Found what I needed at the price I wanted. Staff was kind and friendly. Helpful for what I was looking for. Nice place!”
“Barry and Mitch were very helpful and answered all of my questions so I could get the lights that were appropriate. However I didn't get (honestly I didn't think to ask) a hard copy of the protection plan I paid for. It took me more than 35 min to get any info via phone and then it was wrong. I did call the store and the nice person told me where I could get it online. Seems I'm not in the system so i will have to fight that battle another day.”
“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”
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Home Depot and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional customer service provided by Chris G and his manager, Traci. From the moment I entered the store, Chris was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He took the time to understand my needs and guided me to the right products with patience and expertise.
What stood out even more was the support and leadership demonstrated by Traci. She ensured that the store was running smoothly and that all customers were receiving top-notch service. Her professionalism and dedication to her team were evident, and it was clear that she fosters a positive and efficient work environment.
Together, Chris and Traci made my shopping experience at Home Depot a truly pleasant one. Their commitment to excellent customer service is commendable, and I highly recommend this location for anyone in need of home improvement assistance. Thank you, Chris and Traci, for your outstanding service!”
