“The shopping experience here is great; far better than the big box stores. Not only are you greeted personally when you come in but for a small store they have an amazing inventory. Not only are they fully stocked with inventory but if you have problem to fix and have not been able to figure out a solution the owners often can make a suggestion that enables you to fix the issue. Great place to frequent and support. John B”
“This store is very easy to navigate and find exactly what you need on your own. No problem finding the items fast. If not, there is an employee available to ask for assistance. Like that the aisles are small and labeled above with the items that it contains. Much easier to find items here than in a much bigger store.”
“Its Harbor Freight. Dirt cheap prices for disposible Chinese tools. Chaotic service run by “Dee-da-dee“ employees, but what else is new. If there is more then a few people in the store plan on waiting in a long long to check out. Low end knick knacks are great here.
Most equipment is fairly decent and will last a while, basic non-powered items can be as good as bigbox store stuff . Anything powered are usually throw aways.
(Edit)
Though I must say service and quality is improving. +1 star!”
“Larry and John are amazing! They know what they are doing in and out. Outstanding service! Respectful and fun. It is a great pleasure to go to this place for advice or to buy equipment. They are hard working, responsive and reliable team. I got loan mower and weed trimmer there. Very happy with my purchase.”
“While this has been my favorite place for years today Charlie really came to my rescue. They always greet every customer and when Charlie asked how I was I said I was cranky because we were supposed to have all we needed to hook up water/ice on new fridge but after getting soaked and the connector was wrong off to Ace I went! Charlie smiled and said let’s take a look and found what I needed! He saved the day!”
“There couldn't be a nicer more professional more knowledgeable rental location in the world. If you go anywhere else you're doing yourself a disservice.”

“What a wonderful little shop! Feels like taking a step back into history—because it is—but more importantly Scott and Holly always either have what you need or, if they can order it, they do so in a heartbeat. Two of the friendliest, most helpful people you'll meet. Save yourself a trip to some corporate, faceless, big box store with self-checkouts and swing by Gray's Hardware and Paints instead!”
“Jenny from the Gardening Section was truly wonderful, she was generous, extremely helpful and enthusiastic! I would go back to this exact Home Depot just to visit Jenny. I really cannot emphasize enough how spectacular she was. She'll always be a part of my heart, she helped me achieve a huge milestone- my first credit card. Jenny i would invite you to my Thanksgiving, my wedding even, I'm truly honored to have met such a magnificent human being. Jenny if you see this i hope you are having am amazing day <3”

“So needed a new front door lock, went to depot first and received 0 help trying to track down the correct lock, when I figured it out I couldn’t get keys and I don’t like the self service machine, now headed to Lowe’s in lake grove, fretted as I walk in this employee asked what I needed then walked me straight to the locks, he made 4 extra keys and tested them onsite… that’s what service is about…”
“Nydia was a huge help with my order today. She even went out of her way to complete my difficult transaction. Thank you! Very much appreciated during this remodel.”
“After renting a nailer and returning it to the store for an exchange; the crew on duty (especially "Tony") went above and beyond normal customer service standards and well exceeded my expectations to ensure my satisfaction. He could not have been more helpful and pleasant throughout the exchange process and overall service he provided. Great Customer Service!”
“I was there today and couldn't find a cart. Sean was glad to help me find one. I then went inside spent a bundle. Sean then helped me load my truck. Great work thanks”
“I love this Lowes store. Kat in the paint department has been helping us for 15 years. She always has the answers to our questions and all her recommendations are spot on. She knows everything about paint! She's the nicest and is so friendly. Tom in hardware has helped us out numerous times. He is so knowledgeable and also makes great recommendations for all our hardware needs. He is also very friendly and so pleasant to deal with. Both Kat and Tom are always ready to help and answer any questions with a smile. Maria and I think his name is Jason?, both are managers ; are so helpful with any problems you may have. Both treat you with respect and go the extra to make sure the customer is happy. Great store!”
“Friendly, helpful staff. An item not at the Lowe's I was visiting was at another Lowe's 20 minutes away, the friendly staff told me. Went to the other Lowe's and completed my purchasing. Their prices were less than their competition for the items I needed today. However, they are a slightly longer drive from me. Lowe's wins today :)”
“If you need help with your painting needs, Destiny is the person to see, She is one of the most pleasant and helpful sales associate I've had the pleasure to deal with. Thanks Destiny.”
