Store number - 1525. Award winning.
"Did not have a good experience with Lowes flooring installation. They contract out the installation and our installation group did not have supervision and did not properly install plastic barriers to minimize dust impact of demo dust from pulling up old floor. We expected some dust but we ended up with a layer of heavy dust throughout our entire first floor. We had to bring in a cleaning crew the next day to simply get back to baseline and Lowes customer service was marginal at best. Would never contract with Lowes again for this type of project. Disappointing."

Earl Gray & Sons INC
"Earl Grey & Sons did the plumbing on my new home built in 2015. I’ve been having issues with the whole upstairs backing up into the bathtubs and showers and toilets with raw sewage and had another company come out for inspection. after they snaked lines, removed a toilet, and went through with a camera they found that the plumbing wasn’t installed correctly. It wasn’t angled down enough for things to flow all the way down to the main line and over time, it caused a bunch of gunk to build up in the pipes. When I called Earl Grey & Sons to ask them to repair their mistake, they told me that they couldn’t have done that, because ‘the house wouldn’t have passed inspection if that were true’, and then they hung up. Clearly it is true, because I am now having to pay over $3,000 to replace all of my upstairs plumbing. Then I will have to pay someone else to come in and repair the huge holes being cut into my living room and guest room ceilings to access the pipes. Any business who outright refuses to acknowledge the possibility of making a mistake is shady, if you ask me. People make mistakes, and when we have professionals stating that this is the problem along with video footage showing it, they are clearly just trying to cover their own behinds and not have to do any work for free...even though they should! They’re fully to blame. Do not use them if you want quality work that they stand behind!"

"Not well at all. Incorrect countertops were installed (i.e. built-in back splashes rather than set-on back splashes, an 11-inch section missing, and a back splash on one section, where is was to have been a side splash.) Had to keep the incorrect countertops while waiting for replacements, because the original countertops had to be cut with a saw to remove them. Corrected replacement countertops were due to be delivered three weeks ago, but manufacturer cannot find them. They are making the countertops a third time and say they will be delivered next week. Throughout the process, I have had to drive to the Lowes store to deal with the issue rather than dealing with it by phone, because calls to the project coordinator always go straight to voicemail with no return call until I have driven to the store and have gotten a manager involved."

"Andrew and Jake came to my home and replaced some fittings and changed outside facets. They provided a quote for a water softener and also offered some advice on some of my own projects. The work was performed in a timely and professional manner at a fair price."

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.
Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.
It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.
The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:
System capacity
Home size
Water hardness levels
Type of water softener
Presence of electricity in the installation area
Local permit costs
Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
