Home Improvements near Waltham, MA

“We went to Home Depot as a class on a community trip on a Wednesday morning. It was a little busy and the trickiest part was the checkout. There were only self checkouts (around 6 maybe), and one checkout with a human. Only 1 self checkout took cash and then the employee at the check out took cash. We were shopping with cash and when it was our turn the self-checkout broke. There were a lot of lines then for people needing to pay with cash. We wished more of the self-checkouts took cash. Overall though, the store had lots of space to get around and didn't seem too crowded.

The employees were nice and helped us find things. Not only did they tell us which aisle to go to but they physically brought us to the item we were looking for. The store was clean and organized, the aisles were well labeled. It did smell a bit like a warehouse/wood working building.

There weren't any deals really, but every product we looked for had a varying amount of prices. This helped with budgeting. In terms of accessibility, the aisles were pretty big and so our friends in wheelchairs could get down them. But there were a lot things in the aisles that we had to go around. There were carts and cleaning floor machines and boxes that were being unpacked. The self checkout was accessible, a good height for someone sitting in a wheelchair to reach. There were automatic doors, so you didn't have to open them yourself, and the whole store was one floor.

At Home Depot we bought a variety of things. We bought numbers to label the house, an exit sign that had braille on it, cleaning supplies, a house plant, soil to plant some seeds we bought and bird seed. Everything was pretty well priced and easy to find.
Overall we had a very good time and got everything we needed. The only thing we wanted that they didn't sell were bird house making kits!”

“I'm a longtime fan of this hardware store. Its staff is very helpful - especially Tom,
who is extremely informative and always welcomes customers with good humor. The recently remodeled store is brightly lit and well organanized.”

“I had fabric Roman shades made through C&T Design in Natick. Staff was extremely helpful in making recommendations. Beautiful selection of fabrics to choose from. The functional shades were expertly installed and I couldn’t be happier with the end result!”

“Leah was so kind from the moment I walked into the store. She greeted me right away and helped me find what I was looking for, even going the extra mile to make sure I was taken care of. Andrew so also very helpful which I appreciated.”

“Just completed a marvelous kitchen experience with Michael and the team at ProSource. They made everything sooo easy. Thanks so much for making it a great experience.”

“I had some trouble finding the right size of what I was looking for, but Daisia (so sorry for spelling) was so extremely kind and helpful and genuinely just brightened what has been a rough day! I was so lucky she was there to help me! Thanks, girl! You were so great!”

“I am so grateful and proud of this establishment for the vast diversity of individuals they hire! I am delighted that HD values all individuals! Though the wait for customer service is longer than one would first expect - it is well worth it and wonderful to know your small inconvenience is benefitting SO many!”

“I went to Lowe's Dedham the day after Black Friday, when stores were still packed. I found a dishwasher on an incredible deal that fit exactly what I was looking for; one employee was really struggling to set up the purchase for me, since there were none left in stock. They were about ready to give up when another employee, Sean Austin, came over and offered to help. He then spent a solid 20+ minutes with me sorting out placing the order and answering questions; since the vendor couldn't provide ETA estimates over the weekend, he gave me his email and said he'd follow up for me on Monday. He did follow up, and even managed to coordinate an accelerated delivery for me. After an issue with the install team (not Lowes' fault), he did extra work once again to ensure there were no hiccups for my installation. The experience made it feel like I went to a small local appliance shop service-wise - it's not something I've ever experienced at a large global retailer, and I still can't believe how positive an experience it was, especially compared to much less positive experiences at Lowes' primary competitor. I will 100% go to Lowe's for my next appliance thanks to this experience. Thank you Sean!!!”
