Lowe's
About us
Lowe’s has been helping our customers improve the places they call home for more than 60 years. Founded in 1946, Lowe’s has grown from a small hardware store to the second-largest home improvement retailer worldwide. Our story began in North Carolina, when Carl Buchan, part owner of the North Wilkesboro Hardware Company, envisioned creating a chain of hardware stores. He purchased the company from his brother-in-law and partner and had the foresight to anticipate a post-World War II building boom. By eliminating wholesalers and dealing directly with manufacturers, Lowe’s established a lasting reputation for low prices. Sales grew over time and we expanded all across the country and now operate stores not only in the United States, but also in Canada and Mexico. Although times have changed since Lowe’s first opened its doors in 1946, Lowe’s values have not— the company remains committed to offering high-quality home improvement products at everyday low prices, while delivering superior customer service.

They came and explained it and it worked well.
It started with a lot of hope and happiness. I had a very patient and professional decorator help me select all the products I wanted. Sometime we had to search until I got just the right product. I can honestly say she left no website or company unturned finding items. After selecting all the products I was called to the store to finalize the contract.
All money gets paid upfront, but I was told anything I don't like can be returned. This process was so laborious because of an ancient computer system and no printer in the same room. Whenever she needed to print there were issues ie locked door, no ink, etc. In the middle of this part of the process I went to Costco for almost 2 hours rather than wait in the store because of computer and ink issues. I live a bridge and 35 minutes away from the store and didn't want to come back another day.
I was told that after the contract was signed that permits would be applied for right away. Wrong. I signed the contract on June 19th and the first permit was delivered July 1st and approved the same day. The second permit delivered 7/14 and the third on 7/21 because of someone's vacation. All permits were approved within days. I was already 1 month in.
All items were delivered to my garage on 7/25 and I was hopeful again. Wrong. Work didn't get started until August. After many starts and pauses I am now close to the end and the issues continue, such as I decided not to use a product and had the contractor return it to the store for a refund of the product and labor costs i was charge. First I was told I was never charged for it and when I sent copies of my papers that I was charged I was told the product never got returned to the store.
That is why I am writing this review early. It has been 4 months and I am tired of this struggle and needed to vent. Lowes might be good to install 1 item but not deal with multi layered projects because they really do not have good management.
I believe that when it is finally done I will like it but I would not use Lowes ever again.
Fencing: When it was delivered I was very happy. the delivery crew was professional. Its unfortunate that the hunt for the product was so distracting.
Washing machine: The machine arrived damaged but no one checked on the condition when the machine arrived. The store tried to get me to wait another week for a replacement but in the end the store manager upgraded me so I didn't have to wait.
Dishwasher and Refrigerator: By far the worst experience. I made the purchase since the store said they'd have it to me BY Thanksgiving. LIES!!! They blame their delivery company but... thats LOWE's problem. LOWE's destroyed my family time and have yet to make it up to me. I lost two days wages over this and no one has said a word... time to sue I suppose. Oh, and on top of this... no one told me i had to schedule installer separately so... the dishwasher is a giant paperweight in my kitchen... nice.
