I purchased a refrigerator four months ago. Upon purchasing the refrigerator along with a stove, microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal I was made aware that the delivery of the items would be longer than usual due to COVID, six to eight weeks. I figured it will be fine being that I’m remodeling my kitchen and the time frame fits perfectly with my demo work. This was in July. Fast forward 8 weeks I get all my stuff except the refrigerator. I was told by a manager nevertheless that another store had it and it would be delivered the following week. This was after a sales associate informed me that the fridge would not be in till middle of October. Of course that’s when I asked to speak to a manager.
Well the next week came and went to fridge and the manager stated he never told me that he had ONE at another store.... Ok so now we are in October. I call to check on the status, I am informed that the fridge is there and would be delivered that Saturday. Saturday rolled around I call to get a ETA sales rep. States they had several call offs and do not have drivers to deliver (very professional) but, "Ok so when can it be delivered?" "Monday between 12-5." Ok.... Now I have to rearrange my schedule once again. Now it’s Monday 4pm soooo I call to get a ETA. This manager informs me that my fridge isn’t there!!!! And does not have a explanation as to why I was set up for delivery! And can’t give me a ETA on my fridge!!!!

So far this job is not going as envisioned. Product came after lengthy wait (no troubles there though) was delivered as promised...YEAH. Then the installation came or I should say never started! First day 4 guys show up and none look like they have ever done this. No tape measure, no tools and they started placing holes in the yard, more holes than I have posts I might add! Then after 90 minutes of digging they left. 25 holes in my backyard with no covers on it and an irate neighbor. They show up on Tuesday and start working. Come home to a fence that leans left and right - has panels that are 3 feet, 5 feet and almost 10 feet in length. Not one pole is level vertical...most are 3 inches off plumb in cement that is set. Call Lowe's distraught....This is not how a fence goes.
They had to use my husband's wheelbarrow (wheel fell off), his shovel and nothing cleaned. To be fair they asked and I said yes, but what else can I do! Husband takes the next day off work and they say they'll make it right. They have to dig everything out and start over and then after 4 hours they leave to get a tool and don't return! They leave a pile of stuff in my yard that looks like junk and again, on the phone with Lowe's. Working with our person I was told this is my house and my property and I have the right for them not to come back and get a new team....then crickets. The guys were all polite and nice, just inexperienced and no clue what they are doing! No tools, no level, nothing. Then Lowe's goes silent...for days!
Neighbors complaining, township called about open holes and "trash" in the yard and Lowe's....crickets. 3 days later I'm told that they have a crew ready to come so they are fulfilling their contract and it's the same crew I was told on Wednesday that I could say that I didn't want?!?! I asked where in the contract does it say incompetent crews allowed. My yard looks like a cemetery in the making and still nothing being taken care of! DO NOT USE LOWE'S for any installs!

Had a Generac generator ($15,000) installed at my home and the contractor never closed out permit in 2017. Found out recently in the process of selling home and permits came up open and it failed inspection and LOWE'S will not fix the wrong! I spoke to a representative name Summer in the installation department and she said she will get someone out there to correct the issue but never have! I’ve been calling, leaving voicemails for 2 weeks and no call backs! Summer is a liar!
Why would Lowe’s not followed up on the contractor finalizing the permits? Now I have to find a plumber to remove gas pipe from foundation of home to generator just to remove all the rust then paint! All outside gas pipes are to be painted by code so they don’t rust, that’s why inspector failed me 2 weeks ago! Summer and Nicholas ** I believe his last name will not return your calls!!!! Lowe’s need to do better! I will never use Lowe’s again! I will be giving Home Depot my business going further....

Went to Lowe's in July of 2020 to set up a kitchen remodel. I was originally told that this process should take 2 weeks up to a month to complete. It has now been over 60 days and I still do not have a working kitchen. The coordinator barely did her job, which caused me to have intervene and do the coordinator's job. I've had to make all of the appointments, and do the follow up. Looks like Lowe's made a good chuck of money off of me for me to do their jobs. The contractors measured correctly but the store messed up the measurements. The replacement cabinets were suppose to be here in 10-15 days and now I am being told it will be longer. I do not have a working kitchen, and needless to say it cost a lot to feed a family of 7 on take out, and eating frozen food is horrible on your health. I will never use their services again. Paid way too much money to be left without a kitchen. I will never use their services again.

We bought our blinds from Lowe's in Vernon Hills. What a big mistake. The measurement and installation were terrible. Every blind in our house is installed wrong. I am still waiting to receive the last blind since September 1st. The customer service support is not great at all. The installation department finally said to call the store it was delivered. There is no way I could get hold of them as the phone is keep ringing without anyone answering it. We finally gave up and that would be the last time I use Lowe's for anything.

Composite material deck was designed by Lowe's. Material recommended by Lowes. Installer hired by Lowes. Within 1st Year sides began to warp. Notified designer/salesmen. Assured he would note in file in case it got worse. It did. Now it’s out of warranty and Corp will not help. Salesmen ignores my calls. Typical lousy customer service as Lowes is notorious of. The reason I left the company after a year of employment. The reason I should have known better than to trust them with more than buying a pack of lightbulbs.

Countertop installation damage was “incidental,” leaving gaping holes all the way through the drywall. Lowe’s takes zero responsibility for the damage done to your house. Never again; spend the little additional money and avoid the frustration, expense, and wasted time talking with them.

We bought a fridge from Lowe's in January and it was supposed to be delivered in February because our old one went up. We didn't have a fridge till we got a new one. We have 4 young children in our home so it's crucial to be able to feed them something other than fast food. Anyways the delivery date comes and goes, no fridge! The fridge didn't end up showing up till end of March/beginning of April. When it arrived the delivery workers said it would take 24-48 hours for the fridge to get to temperature. So I signed everything as there was no physical damage. 2 days later it was still sitting at 65 degrees on the coldest setting. I called lowes.com. They told me to call the store it was delivered from (Martinsburg WV). Blowing me off. I call the local store and the girl I talked to told me they won't replace it. I would have to call factory LG service for repairs. That was the beginning of a long, long process.
5 months later many repair appointments (Dave with factory services was super polite and told me it should be replaced but his boss would not allow it. He was the only good part of this ordeal) and parts replaced later as well as every manager (Jose **, Richard **, and Cody **) I talked to over the time promised they would see it was replaced and subsequently blew me off and never got back to me! During those 5 months I had no way to buy groceries for my kids till I went out and spent $500 on a used appliance because I couldn't afford another brand new fridge. I bought that fridge about 3 weeks ago. Back to the fridge I bought from lowes company, while the fridge sits around 40 degrees at its coldest setting under the fan in the back of the fridge, which is not good and I do not consider fixed, I am done trying to get them to fix it. This company obviously wont replace it and clearly can't fix it so I give up.
We have bought many items from lowes including a snowblower, lawnmower, weed eaters, washer and dryers, and microwave, and an oven, and were very loyal customers. We will not be anymore. I will take our business elsewhere since they do not stand by their products and it's been 6 months since I received a fridge that didn't work in the 1st place. I had to feed my kids fast food for 6 months because of their crappy customer service and even worse product. I had to spend an extra $500 to buy another used fridge because the brand new one didn't work and they would do nothing.

I bought a lawnmower that was junk along with a extended warranty. It took them 7 calls And 3 days later to see I did purchase the extended warranty. In the meantime my mower was broken for 3 days. They then called service for pickup and to inspect the mower another 4 days. I had to call the brand name of mower to get the inspection expedited. That was done in 2 days and sent to Lowe’s. When I called to see if the mower is defective or they are gonna fix it they told me it will be 5 business days for them to decide. So because a weekend falls in the middle of this it will sit at the shop for 7 days before having any work done.
This is the second time this mower broke and the pulley flew under deck and was found about 500 ft. away. The first time it was a spindle. Same thing came off and went under deck and got thrown about 500 ft. I’m lucky no one got hurt. That is extremely dangerous! I bought it in 4/19. It's a year and 4 1/2 months. The worst customer service! You would think in this situation they would go out of their way to help.

Horrible experience! I am doing home renovation and my primary materials source was Lowe’s, which converts to thousands of dollars spent there. Most recent experience put an end to it. I purchased sliding closet doors and paid for the delivery to my house (as I have no means for bringing it by myself) so, the door was defective, I called customer service and asked to bring me a replacement door (since I paid for the delivery in the first place). To my surprise I was refused the delivery, the only option they gave was to bring the doors myself and have it replaced in the store, which completely defeats the purpose of initial delivery. Their excuse was that it is probably manufacturer's defect so they are not in position to incur delivery expense, when I tried to explain that their position simply cost me delivery money for no proper goods received, they started repeating same phrase, that they are not able to do anything about it...

Waited 40 minutes+ at the un-attended mill work desk, only to be told no one is scheduled to cover the desk - on Labor Day Monday?? A follow up call received next morning from Kimberly **, and 10 days later, we still have not received one single information. An appointment was made for 9/17 with a Frank **.. No call, no show; we are still waiting for an estimate for 30 Pella windows. Now we missed out on Pella windows sale. How can you afford to lose a potential $20+K in revenue? And why bother staying in business when apparently your customers are not your number 1 priority?

I purchased a one year Lowe's purchase plan on the LG refrigerator purchased 6/2020. The gasket on the freezer is bad...I spoke with LG on 9/1/20 & they were supposed to contact me to schedule a time to repair the refrigerator...I did not hear back from them so 9/16/20 I called LG representatives again having to wait 15 to 30 minutes at each step of their process after being placed on hold. LG said they're running behind due to covid & would again touch base with their service dept. to see about scheduling the service...meanwhile the leak is getting worse & refrigerator is running constantly. I informed the representative. I will NEVER purchase another warranty service plan again. It's so sad consumers are treated in such a manner.

I made the mistake of ordering something online to pick up at my local San Diego Lowes. When I got the e-mail to come pick it up, it said I could even use curbside pickup. Trouble is, they don't answer the phone for curbside pickup. Others who were there trying it experienced the same thing. After going inside, they couldn't find my order. After 45 minutes I gave up and went home. I tried to call the store when I got home, but every time I got to the option of talking to a live person, it instead kicks me back to the main menu.The 800 number was no better. I never thought a company this large would be this incompetent.

I did some home renovations a couple of years ago. Since, I bought lot of stuff, I always made sure they put my information in MyLowes account. My refrigerator broke a couple of days ago and I couldn't find my receipt, so I called Lowe's. Amazingly, they don't have none of my info in their system. They have just screw driver or small items I bought in MyLowes. And nobody helping me. Rude and unhelpful customer service. They are asking for the exact days of purchase and they say they can locate the order by exact day of purchase! I am not sure which idiot programmed their software. When there is S/N and Product ID, why your system should locate the item with purchase date. I think they do it on purpose, so the customers could not locate their warranty. LOWE'S IS TERRIBLE. NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM LOWE'S.

Updated on 01/04/2021: Garbage product. Wood is curving, cracking and molding. Seems to be poor quality and possibly not treated. Been trying to deal with Lowe’s for 6 months. No response. Looks like they won’t back warranty and I will have to sue. DON’T USE THEM, EVER!
Original Review: Had a deck installed in June from Milan, TN store. Opened new card to pay over time. They supplied inferior wood that started cracking and twisting. One board curled and literally snapped the screws in half. Seems to be untreated wood. Have been trying for months to have them rectify with no results. So I’m stuck paying on the card to protect my credit and have resorted to contacting an attorney. DO NOT USE THEM!!!

Ordered five items on Lowe's website, paint, electrical, plumbing. All but one item was theoretically available in the store. Previously I've relied on their online inventory system and then found the item unavailable when I've come to pick it up in person. I therefore ordered and paid for everything ahead of time on the internet. Notified that four items were ready for pickup after 5 days and given 7 days to collect them, One day later the four items were cancelled.

Two years ago I purchased an LG high end refrigerator. And per the salesman's recommendations I also purchased Lowe's extended warranty. The night before last the refrigerator died - no cooling or freezing. I called Lowe's repair service and they claimed they couldn't get here for a month and a half. When I pointed out that if they couldn't fix it in 7 days, they needed to give me a reimbursement. All of a sudden they found a repair date of 5 days down the road. Have you ever tried to live for almost a week out of an ice chest? I was bumped up to a "supervisor" who claimed she could do nothing for me. Moral of this story: DO NOT PURCHASE FROM LOWE'S!! DEFINITELY DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON AN EXTENDED WARRANTY!!
Had I not purchased the extended warranty I would have had a $300.00 deduction on the next refrigerator I have to buy. Had I not purchased the extended warranty I would have purchased a new refrigerator yesterday and I would be in great shape today. I even explained to them I was a transplant patient with no immune system and every time I go out to buy ice I am exposing myself to COVID which my body has no way of fighting. They do not care about their customers. They are just too big to care. If everyone would stop shopping there they would have to listen, wouldn't they?

Recently made a purchase of Electrolux Washer/Dryer (600 Series) from Lowe's in St. Mary's county MD. If anyone else had the product I wanted available I would have canceled the order. For 4 straight days, I could NOT get a person on the phone in any department. Even tried an 800 number I hoped was corporate. Before you buy from Lowe's, I suggest you see if they know how to use a phone. Now I am concerned if I ever need service. I will be out of luck. Service in the store is just as bad. One person, with several people in line. Big mistake buying from this store. After a few months, I will let you know how the machines are. Seriously, a $2400 purchase, made it on line and was never able to speak to a person. The contracted delivery/installers were great. Too bad I was given a 12-hour window with no attempt to narrow it down. Waited 9 hours for delivery to arrive.

Purchased an Ariens I can’t actually 52 from Lowe’s. It had no gas and a dead battery when I went to pick it up. They wanted to help me push it onto my trailer. I explained that I was not going to take mower that would not run. So they did put a new battery from another mower in it and one quart of fuel so it could be started and put on the trailer. After 2 hours of use it broke the mower deck belt. Lowe’s doesn’t warranty the mowers more do they stock a belt for the mowers they sell. It would take a week to get a belt thru Lowe’s. Horrible experience. Will never buy another mower from Lowe’s.

After WEEKS of being told the installation would happen in a certain window and not being contacted and failure to show up with my gas range - I had to spend upwards of 10 hours on hold with customer service just to know where TF my very expensive item I had purchased even was - and I am not made of money. No one bothered to call me with updates, rather I always had to hunt down the answers. Finally, I managed to coordinate the delivery and installation on my own - note this is a $200 service. When the oven arrived it was severely dented. Afraid to send it back and probably wait another month for it to be seen again, I accepted it and spent another 6 hours on hold with customer service who I ended up agreeing to a measly $100 gift card for my troubles. It's been 2 months and I have NOT seen this this gift card and I have been waiting on hold AGAIN. I will never buy from Lowe's again, they really put me through the ringer.

Don't waste your precious time at the Lowe's on IH-35 near Connelly High School (Store #1725). ONE star for my visit to their store yesterday - and only because I can't post the review unless I choose at least one star. Arrived at lunch hoping to pick up landscaping supplies within the hour and what a disappointment! Asked Amber in patio where I could find their usual stock of Scott's Lawn Soil and she proceeds to point to the side of the patio area replying "We have all kinds of soil over there". I explain I'm looking for specific brand/use soil and she rudely shoves her phone at me through the plexiglass asking me to type in what I'm looking for on her phone's Lowe's app. DURING A PANDEMIC WHERE WE ARE SEPARATED BY PLEXIGLASS AT THE CHECKOUT, SHE'S SHOVES HER PHONE AT ME!!?? I tell her I'm not going to touch her phone and asked that she page someone since she clearly has ZERO knowledge in her own work area. Shameless.
She pages someone not once, not twice but 3 times and no one shows up. I find the palette way up in the rafters and let Amber know but she just absently blinks at me like a deer in headlights on how to access the soil, still unable to raise anyone for assistance. I've never EVER had such poor service at what WAS once a generally decent Lowe's store so I decide someone should know about the experience. Not to give me any type of special treatment but to be aware of what's happening in their store to make improvements. Maybe even relocate Amber to lightbulbs or something less taxing for her to manage.
Next up, Tommy (MOD) shows up at Customer Service following my request to speak to the manager. What shows up before me is some random that looks like he just finished a pub-crawl. No semblance whatsoever that he represented Lowe's much less in a managerial capacity. I felt like I was talking to the local frat boy. Lord.
I started to tell him what happened but his whole demeanor wreaked of "I have better things to do" so I wrapped it up with an expletive and told him I was taking my business across the street to the better home improvement store aka Home Depot and you know what, their patio staff knew EXACTLY what Lawn Soil was and within 10 minutes I was in and out with what I needed. They also mentioned they get people over there all the time with similar stories of that same Lowe's location. Amber and Tommy, thanks for the great reminder that better service, product knowledge, and staff are just across the street. Will no longer be wasting my time at your place.

I recently contracted with professional painters to paint my mother's condo. The original paint to cover was standard builder beige. The painters recommended Sherwin Williams paint so I went to Lowe's since they carry Sherwin Williams too. I chose a flat paint, ivory color in the Showcase- 1 coat guarantee paint. My estimate from painter was based on the number of coats. The paint could not cover the builder beige in 1 coat but took 3 coats!
I was home/working during the entire paint job so I can verify and took pictures between coats. Called the number on the can per the store manager, who called their paint rep. I had to send each can 4 emails of photos- each can of paint separately, the walls, the various coats and of course the receipts. The cans were 34.18 per gallon. I had to purchase 16 gallons. Their response is the painters did not apply it properly. They should have painted in the N motion and not cut in but roll it to ceiling first....really? They say they will only compensate me out of good will to the tune of $149.00 dollars! NEVER buy Showcase paint at Lowe's if you really want to just use one coat...It won't cover and their guarantees are worthless!

I ordered and purchased materials and exterior installation services from Lowe's for a deck install on May 7, 2020. I have called numerous times to talk with someone about my deck installation. First I was told that all the materials for my deck were in stock only to find out that it was not in stock. I called numerous times to inquire about the materials and finally they informed me that the materials were in stock and they delivered them to my home and left them in my front yard when I specifically asked to place them close to my backyard.
As of this day, the materials are still sitting in my front yard and has been there for well over a month with cement and wood sitting in a pile and wood warping from the heat. No telling what has occurred with the cement and the vendor Lowes contracted out has yet to give me a date as to when the installation of my deck will occur. I have spent a significant amount of money for this deck which I wanted installed so that I could have a place for my elderly father to sit and relax. When I first asked whether the deck could be installed in a timely manner they said of course and it did not happen.
The contractor Lowes used has yet to give me a date of installed and I am truly disappointed and extremely dissatisfied with the whole process. It does not and should not take a professional company over 3 months to have a deck installed even in the best of times. I will not be purchasing any installation services of any kind ever from Lowes. They will take your money upfront but not deliver so my advice is not to use them at all.

Unless you are buying individual items and self cashing out I cannot recommend Lowe's. I made the mistake of purchasing cabinets from them because they had the finish I wanted, however, in the past I wrote them off before. I ordered $65,000.00 in cabinets. It sounded so alluring with the discounts, but it is all just a pure game. The designers are inadequate. They are responsible for too much and they are not versed in their layouts so there are extensive problems that arise when the installers come to put them in. This lends to a lot of extra cost to try to get your kitchen completed. I paid for a cabinet front on the refrigerator and ended up paying $450.00 because their installer would not put it on! I paid for glass door upper cabinets but the glass was not included! Key cabinets were not included in the design that when the cabinets are installed in real life, they are needed and an experienced cabinet designer would know.
I ordered the cabinets in November. They called me with the final price and when I went in to pay there was nobody who could take my check or knew about the order! I tried making it on my credit card and it would not go through. I made the payment with a check and it was not applied and the cabinets were not released for manufacturer. It is now August 8th and I still do not have all my cabinets installed and I will not have them for two more weeks.
If the selection or the pricing seem too good to be true, or if you think that maybe it won't happen to you, please reconsider. I may be waiting an entire year to have a finished kitchen and all I did was think, jeez, it cannot be that bad...IT IS! Diamond Cabinets are not worth the time and when you are finished with the cost you should have had custom cabinets installed.
It is truly a joke. I tried making complaints to their corporate on many occasions and they did not even get back to me. I had to throw a fit in their store to get my cabinets released. The stress was truly awful. They have ruined me for ever wanting to do another repair to my house. The CEO should be fired for establishing such a bad rapport with customers. I have $4,000.00 in coupons and I dread the use. I am going to order appliances but somehow I feel it would be better to throw them away. However, that means that Lowes will make $4,000.00 more and I cannot fathom that thought. I cannot even get away from them.

I wanted to add a closet to my house I previously went to Lowe's Home Improvement Center for some Lumber. 2 x 4s were not 2 x 4, half the wood was either twisted or warped. Some mildew areas. I walked out. A few weeks later I decided to give them another shot. They actually had better Lumber, more straight pieces than warped or twisted. Unfortunately the price almost doubled. Price gouging is illegal in New Jersey especially during a pandemic yet again. I left with nothing. I needed workhorses. They doubled in price. Some of Lowe's prices went up gradually. Many of the other items doubled or triples in price time to start shopping at Home Depot and get your lumber from Duke or lumber center.

I ordered the BE365 Cam Keypad Camelot Aged Bronze Single-Cylinder Deadbolt. Came to Clarksville, IN location to pick item up. When I received the item it was wrapped and taped up tightly in a plastic bag. Since I had never placed a online order with Lowe's before I figured maybe that was a standard procedure but as I waited to pay for some other items I had picked up in the store, I notice no one else received items wrapped and taped like the one I received. So when I got to my vehicle in the parking lot I cut the bag off to find a box that also been taped back together. The box looked like it got in a fight with a grizzly bear and the box lost. All the parts were just laying in the bottom of the box with some of the fasteners in a ziplock bag.
Now, I have no problem with getting items someone else has returned and have many times with no issues but as I checked the product out I found the key was stuck in the lock cylinder and there were broken pieces of plastic with the parts. I took the product back into the store to exchange for a new one. The lady at the customer service desk was very helpful. She took the return back and advised it was the only one they had in stock but sent someone to make sure there wasn't another one. There was not so she advised she would credit me back and I would have to place another order to get a replacement.
Keep in mind this is during the Covid19 pandemic so I'm about 45 minutes into this at this after standing in line 2 times at the pickup and return counter. I asked when I could expect the replacement so she checked with the vendor and advised they had 2 new ones already ordered in for the store and assured me I would get a new unopened product. I was satisfied with the answer and completely understand things like this happen so I placed the order online while still in the store and went on my way.
Fast forward 4 hours, I receive a email stating my product was ready to pickup. My wife was going to be in town that even so she went to pick it up this time. She arrived home with the box. The paperwork was taped across the top of the box and box was in good shape so I get ready to install the product. I took the paperwork off and right away notice the tape installed by the manufacturer was cut so I'm starting to get upset. I open the box find the packaging to look undisturbed so that was a good sign. I take out the inner box and open to check all the pieces.
I go through the parts to verify all good and find there is NO KEY. I looked everywhere in the packaging then I have my wife come and look to make sure I didn't just overlook the key taped to the side or something but nope, no key. So now I'm going to have to drive back to the store for the third time and return this product. I will not be placing another order with Lowe's. Looks like Homedepot or Menards will be getting my business.

I ordered 27 different items recently for delivery. All 27 different items were cancelled. Did I get an email? I sure did. It said that my local stores didn't have the items and they were being fulfilled by other stores in the vicinity. I thought "GREAT!" until the delivery date came and went. Then I checked my order status online and saw all were cancelled except for 3 of the items that say "delivery information unavailable". After waiting all this time and learning their inventory system and communication are this trash, I won't be ordering from or going to Lowe's again because I don't trust their business model. Lowe's executive team... you're losing customers. Get your house in order.

We ordered two sliding glass doors from Lowe's in June 2020 and had a delivery date of July 8, 2020. On the afternoon of July 6, we got the email that it would be delayed until July 21. We called to ask why and were given a discount on the order, but the next day we received an email informing us the delivery was pushed back until August 14. It honestly felt like a punishment for complaining. This morning (August 12) we got the email that the delivery has been pushed back until August 30. We are not sure the doors will get here in time for fall or even winter!
We are installing them ourselves and have to keep contacting our friends and family who planned on helping us to delay. We cancelled a camping trip for the delivery. Calling customer service is a 2 hour affair which discourages us from trying. We will not be ordering from Lowe's again. I wish we had just paid the extra $100 for the doors through Menards or Home Depot.

Two weeks ago my wife and I purchased over $700 about door patio furniture and requested it to be delivered. We were told at the time it would be two weeks before the delivery could be completed. One day before the delivery was due we were contacted and told that they had lost our purchased items. It took three phone calls to speak with someone regarding getting our money back.

I was expecting a refrigerator delivery that I was waiting on for a month. I was told because of construction being done that I had to expect delivery the next day. The driver said he was told by construction crew he could not make delivery. Street blocked. Not true. I asked the crew and they said they refused no one. I called delivery service and was told the driver would be sent back to deliver. When I called again I was told that was not true and they would come tomorrow. This is the last time I will order from Lowe's. They deal with a disreputable delivery service. I told them the crew would be gone soon but they do not consider the customer at all and they lie to you.

DON'T BUY KOBALT PRODUCTS AT LOWES. Just an FYI, I bought some yard tools and cordless tools made by Kobalt that "supposedly" came with a lifetime warranty. Two of my tools, their chargers and batteries quit working after less than a year. I took them back to Lowes expecting to get a free replacement (per Kobalt's warranty and customer service department) but was told by Lowes that they no longer accept Kobalt returns for full replacement and that I would need to contact Kobalt Customer Service. For three (3) months, I've called Kobalt's Customer Service and no one has ever picked up after being on hold for 20-30 minutes!!
Also, Kobalt is owned by Lowes so this entire situation is a joke. Lowes owns Kobalt but quit honoring the lifetime warranty and then Lowes directs you to call Kobalt customer service and no one ever picks up and there's no email address even to contact in some other manner. Beware everyone, Don't buy Kobalt products!! Quality is terrible!! Lowe's creates Kobalt then quits honoring the lifetime warranty and Kobalt customer service is essentially nonexistent and you can't get in touch with them.

I started the process of purchasing and ordering carpeting for a house that I am selling mid June. My woes started when it took days for someone to call me with regard to a person to come to my house to measure for the carpeting. The person came on June 24th. I was supposed to receive a call back later that week to give the price of the carpeting based on the measurements. I never received a call....this should have been an indicator and I should have gone to a local carpet store. I finally had to go to the store on July 2nd to get the quote. The price was sufficient and I paid for the carpeting.
It took over a week to receive a call to schedule the installation for Monday, July 27th. The installers were very nice, efficient and professional, no gripe at all with them. My complaints are with the Lowe's Installation Services. I specifically explained to the sales person that I wanted a runner down my steps and also showed and explained the same to the person who came to measure. When the installers arrived they had the carpet for the steps but it was unbound and I was told "Hollywood" style. I told the installer that this is not what I wanted. He stated that he would have to return the carpet to be bound and that I would receive a call either that day or the next to reschedule, away they went with the carpet for my steps that I paid for. I did not receive a call that day.
On Tuesday, July 28th I received an email stating that my installation was complete. I called the number on the email to report that my installation was NOT complete and explained the situation with the runner. The customer service rep. stated that I would receive a return call from the district manager of installation services after 2:00 pm on 7/28/2020. No call was received. I waited until Thursday, July 30th to call back. This time I spoke with a different rep. She stated that I needed to speak with the district manager of installation services. I further called the Lowe's Customer Service and spoke with a rep, he sent me back to Lowe's Installation Services and had me in a queue to receive a call back. I received a call from yet another rep. I explained my circumstance. She stated that she sent an email to the district manager again, and cc'ed the district manager for the stores. AGAIN no call from this person.
I called LIS again on Friday 7/31. I spoke with ANOTHER different rep. She was the only one who attempted to get to the bottom of my issue, she called the district manager's office, to be told that he was not in the office until Monday. She also found out that the carpet runner was being held up because of payment. While she had me on the phone, we called the store and spoke with the sales rep. I stated that I was not paying any more for the carpet that it was their mess up, not mine. This rep. went even further and tried to get one of the people under the district manager, one of which I had already talked to the day before, this person was supposed to call me back on 7/31, NO CALL. Monday, August 3rd....NO CALL from Kyle **. However I received a call from yet another rep. He was condescending and not at all pleasant to deal with.
I had had it at this point, frustrated and angry I was quite rude back to the rep. He stated that I would receive a call within 2 business days to schedule someone to come and "view my problem". NO CALL....Now it's Wednesday, August 5th....again, no call....I called LIS and spoke with a rep I had spoken to last Thursday again. She put me on hold and stated spoke with the district manager. I was told by this rep that the runner was picked up and that someone would call me TODAY to schedule the installation....NO CALL!! I had to reschedule other installations around this darn carpet runner.
It has put my project back at least 2 weeks. I am in the process of selling my house. If this debacle affects the sale I will be involving my attorney. This is very poor training, my situation was just pushed off from one person to the next. The district manager is a disgrace and should not hold the position of district manager. I will NEVER have anything installed by Lowe's. The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Purchased a bathroom heated towel rack and promised it would arrive after 2 weeks on a Friday, it didn't with no notice. After being on the line to talk to someone, a pleasant fellow apologized and said it would be the following Friday. Okay, it's COVID no problem. Next Friday, no arrival and no call. Getting frustrated. Connect to a Lowe's chatline. The response, "Sorry but we are not responsible for delivery as it's another company." They check and it has been rescheduled for following Tuesday. They give me a tracking number for UPS.
I state that I find Lowe's completely responsible for getting the product to me as I purchased it from them. Guess not. UPS calls me Tuesday. It's not being delivered for the 3rd time - no apology. It will be tomorrow. I ask why UPS hasn't delivered this despite multiple promises. It's not their responsibility but rather Lowe's. No desire to explore the issue. So Lowe's and UPS are not responsible for the delivery of the package I purchased online. This is the latest in business and customer service? This cost me frustration, having to reschedule installation 3x, and about 2 hours on the phone and online.
Goodbye Lowe's and goodbye UPS! This is the first experience with Lowe's and after other experiences with UPS. UPS does not take responsibility for packages they deliver at all. It was explained that if their driver steals or destroys the package, it is my responsibility necessitating an additional insurance fee. I want a company that stands behind its products and services or I'm gone.
I'll be researching companies that actually feel a sense of responsibility when their customers purchase their products or services. The best I've seen so far - Amazon (too bad about poor reputation surrounding employment conditions) and Hudson's Bay. They believe they are responsible and act accordingly. Ps. Also, congratulations Lowe's/UPS. I am so frustrated and now after 50 years, you've won the award for being the first bad review I've ever written. Hopefully, other businesses are paying attention and seeing the market opportunity here for taking responsibility regardless of legislation.

I ordered a refrigerator online at Lowe's in Tuscaloosa. I was given a delivery date of Aug 4 between 8:00 AM & 8:00 PM in my order confirmation. I didn't get an email or phone call. When I called the store at 6:00 AM to get an eta, I was told to wait until 8:00 to speak to someone who knew what they were doing. After being connected (& disconnected) many times, I finally found out that my order was being shipped from Columbus, MS. After calling that store 4 times, I was finally connected to a manager. They will not be bringing my refrigerator today. It is 10:00 AM.
I took an unpaid day off today. I moved all of the contents of the old refrigerator & put them on ice. If I don't want them to spoil, I need to move them back & wait for another "maybe" shipping date. I will have to repeat this process on the new scheduled "maybe" delivery date. I cannot afford another unpaid day off. It took me 3 hours to find out where my order was. I guess I was expected to wait the entire 12 hr window to see what was going on. At Lowe's, NOBODY KNOWS!

Every time, I end up regretting when I purchase anything with extended warranty from another few major companies who are Lowe's competitor and I tell myself that I will never do it again. Lowe's customer service is truly the best... they maybe not be perfect & I do get someone who is not willing to assist once a while... but overall, you cannot find a better customer service than Lowe's. Recently, my few years old fridge started having an issue in my OBX vacation home. Using the extended warranty, I called the 3rd party contractor provided by Lowe's. After a month or so, they missed the appointment saying that repairman was not feeling good (repairman called & told us he was on his way but never showed up)... We called the repair agency and was told that there is no more appointment for another 6 month (at Lowe's competitor, with a similar issue we were told that is nothing they can do & to keep contacting the manufacture).
We called Lowe's 800 customer service & opened a case and a week later a manager called and issued full credit and this was not the first time that Lowe's helped us.. There have been various occasions that Lowe's came thru and helped us. Compare this with Lowe's direct competitor and another location which gives you two weeks to return things and has the worst customer service ever.

First of all I would like to say that if something deserves a good review, I most definitely would give one. This entire experience, from estimate until finally finishing our install was horrible and added so much stress to an already stressful situation. There's way too much to go into details so I'll hit only the highlights. *$5,000 high on estimate because materials listed that shouldn't have been. *Said some of our materials didn't get delivered to store when it turns out they were there all along. *Had to track down the rest of the material ourselves (before we knew it was at the store) to stay on schedule for our install. *Had to pay for that material on top of the $7,000 we had already paid. * Had to wait 5 days to get reimbursed for that. *Wasn't informed of the problem until 4 days before install.
*FINALLY get the materials, project gets started after installers show up about 11. Second day worked a few hours, left came back to "finish" because they were now scheduled for another job. *We were supposed to have 3 days for our install, my husband used vacation time to be there. Worked helping clean up after installers, on hands and knees pulling staples, etc. On the third day, they didn't show up at all until I called and complained. Our job was only half done. They arrived at almost 4 in the evening. *Communication was horrible with Service Pro. I know I said I wouldn't list details but even all of this isn't a drop in the bucket to the rest of the problems we had with Lowe's and Service Pro. Our sales person at Lowe's was wonderful but That is the only positive experience we had.

Purchased a grill from Lowe’s to be assembled and delivered. They gave me a delivery date and I took a day off work. Late in the day I called and they said it would be delivered that day. It did not show. I called the next day and they set another delivery date. I took day number two off work. It did show up, but was damaged. The driver said that he would take it back and Lowe’s would upgrade the grill at no cost. They set up a delivery date and later that day I called and they assured me that it was on the truck and would be delivered. It did not show.
I called the next day and after the run around, they finally said that the grill was in the back, yet to be assembled. Ann at Lowe’s said that after the grill would be delivered that she would call me and compensate me for my troubles. They set another delivery date and I took a fourth day off work. They delivered it with slight damage (not an upgrade either) and said that they would compensate me. I waited a month and still no call. I lost four day’s wages due to their lies and incompetence. I have never filed a complaint or given negative reviews on any business. This was my absolute worst customer service experience ever. I can see taking one day off, but four is ridiculous. This company seems to think that lying to customers is acceptable business practices. This big box store should strive to do better than this.

I ordered a dishwasher that was rescheduled for delivery four times. That is not my complaint though - I understand COVID has made everything uncertain. Upon the 4th reschedule, I called customer service to let them know I would likely not be available on the date they rescheduled and to please call me when the item was actually in stock since I had already arranged three previous dates to be available from 8am-8pm.
I got no call - just an email (the day before) saying it would be delivered on the day I said I would not be available. I called twice on the morning of delivery and no one answered at delivery. I called again and spoke to the customer service rep who said he texted the delivery people to let them know I wouldn't be available until after 1pm. I even put a note on my front door saying "Please deliver after 1pm" (because I was in a Zoom meeting).
The delivery person banged on my front door at 9:30am and I had to mute my meeting and step away. I told the delivery person - who was not wearing a mask - that I couldn't deal with it right then and had tried my best to contact them for delivery later in the day. The delivery person was incredibly rude and said I was their last stop and they just needed to drop it on the front porch. I could not deal with it at the moment (as I had tried to let them know) - but the delivery person was not happy about having to reschedule so I said fine. I wanted them to leave it in the garage and not my front porch but could not deal with it at the time because I was on a meeting. The delivery person did not care, never asked me to sign anything and just left it on the porch.
Now I have to go buy a dolly in order to move the machine to the garage. I did everything I could to accommodate the four rescheduling changes, changed my plans the previous 3 times in order to be available from 8am to 8pm, contact Lowe's about the final delivery - and none of it mattered/helped. Plus the delivery person was just plain rude to me as if I was ruining his day by not allowing him to just dump the machine on my porch. Worst customer service experience ever.

It has been 2 months now, and I am still livid. I’ve had the worst customer experience of my lifetime with Lowe's. Want to hear a story? One morning my 29-year washer died. I went on an online search to find a replacement and settled on Lowe's for the availability, price and speed of delivery. I paid for the machine, parts, delivery and removal. The new machine arrived on time. I was grateful for that. Then everything went sideways. This was the start of the covid-19 “shutdown”. The drivers did not wear masks. The delivery man looked pissed that the old washer was still there and gruffly said that I did not pay for “removal”. I informed him I did, while he fumbled through his paperwork. He asked for a receipt. I had to go boot up my laptop and print out my receipt to prove to this man I paid. They took the old washer out. One man, without a mask, was in the laundry room getting the space ready.
I did not want to go in there due to social distancing; I was confident he would clean up the dust bunnies I could not reach. Once they setup my new washer, he gave me the instruction package and had me sign on his phone. I did … and then washed my hands. I looked over the machine, the new pipes and hoses, that all looked good. They left. It was after they left that noticed a sock and dust bunnies pushed over behind the washer where I can’t reach. I was pissed. They couldn’t take the time to go a small step above and pick up a sock?? I thought about complaining, then decided not to. It was minor in the scheme of things. But I took note that Lowe's has lousy customer service.
I sat down and read my new user instructions. I gathered up my first load of laundry and started my washing machine for the first time. Exciting! I listen to the new sounds that a washing machine makes. I stood in front of it reading about detergent options when I turned and hear/felt a “Slosh”. A pool of water was surrounding me. I immediately turned the washer and water off. What?? I ran and grabbed towels to soak up the water. Even though I turned off the water, it kept on leaking. I looked behind and saw the water spraying from the hose attachment. I pulled the machine out (with my bad back) and saw the problem. They just slipped the hose attachment onto the washing machine … minus the tightening bracket! I saw it sitting in a bag on my dryer. I moved my washing machine more to get to the back of it when I heard a muffled “pop” as the hose slipped off and the water in the tank poured out and re-flooded my laundry room.
Furious beyond words, I call Lowe's. Due to covid-19, I was told to expect longer than normal wait times. I waited 52 minutes. Then I was transferred. Finally, a human took down my account of what has happened, put me on hold, took a report, put me on hold, told me the drivers are still in the area and will be by to repair. It seemed easy enough to put the bracket on the hose, then slip it onto the washer spigot, but my bad back limited me. I had to wait for them. I had a water mess to clean up.
They never showed up or called. I had my next door neighbor come over and help me. Together, we got it fixed. I called Lowe's back, but literally could not handle the hold. My washer is now working fine. I remained stunned that Lowe's never contacted me. I remained furious and thought about writing this review.I got a voice mail one morning out of the blue 10 days later! Lowe's had a team that was coming out to my house later that day. WHAT?? I called the number back and told them to NOT send anyone to my home. Wow. Just so disappointed. Lousy customer service top to bottom. Lowe's will never get my business again.

I left frustrated and upon arriving home, called Lowes home office, customer service. I spoke with Alyssa and she looked up the doors and found that the only state they could not be sold in was California. She took my info and said she would put in a formal complaint, and she would get back with me in 24 hours.
Later the next day I got a call from someone at the local lowes store that informed me they could not get the doors advertised on their website. Home Depot had the same doors on their website but without a price. I told my contractor to go there and try to order them. He called the next day with a higher price but said Home Depot could get them. Mind you, Home Depot is a mile from Lowes. Anyway that all occurred over a week ago.

Customer service is EVERYTHING! I find that my local Lowe’s has all the products I need, hours of operations are fabulous and the cost of products is on point with competitors. However (and here is the “sticky” part) the customer service, at least at my local store is sorely lacking. Often there are no carts in the store so you have to get one from the lot and the last time I was there the 1 (one) open checkout was a “self checkout” with a single frazzled worker checking the customers through. I am not exaggerating when I say the line was to the back of the store. Meanwhile you could see workers (managers?) standing behind the customer service booth area.
All the customers were complaining but almost all felt bad saying something to the poor woman doing her best to get us out. Kudos to her! I used to love walking around Lowe’s as it always brings back memories of shopping there with my son at a time he was helping me with a home improvement project. Just the smell of the timber would bring back the pleasant memory. Nowadays I only go if I absolutely must and there are no other options.

Lowe’s selection of basic tools, equipment, and basic building and growing supplies is consistently good. Things I buy there don’t fall apart or fail to do the job. There are no specialty items or bells and whistles - nothing trendy or fancy. We probably go to Lowe’s 30 times a year for big and small items. I have 2 suggestions: More training for staff so they can answer questions with more authority. Often the answer I hear is; "I don't know. I just started."

I am a landlord and I operate a rental unit at Washington DC. On 6/23/2020 my tenant reported that the fridge in the unit is broken. On the same day, I ordered a fridge from Lowes. I was told at the time of the purchase that the fridge would be delivered on 6/29/2020. I was told that it should take 6 days. Ok, this would solve problems. I move forward with the order. The only reason I made this purchase through Lowe's is, they can deliver the fridge on 6/29/2020. Then within a short period of time, another email arrives and claims the fridge will arrive on 7/2/2020. My tenant is furious, screaming at me, rightfully complaining that all his food is rotting. He can't eat anything at home. Because of COVID-19, he can't eat outside. He is living in unacceptable conditions.
Then surprise surprise, Lowes is at work. Another email arrives, the fridge is scheduled for delivery on 7/7/2020. A day before delivery I receive an email from Spirit, the extremely incompetent company, for final confirmation and I confirm the delivery. It is 7/7/2020. The supposed delivery day. Lowes is supposed to deliver the fridge. NOBODY AROUND! NO CALLS. NO ONE BOTHERS TO LET ME KNOW WHY THIS DELIVERY DID NOT GO THROUGH.
MY TENANT CALLS AT THE END OF THE DAY AND SCREAMS AT ME, I AM DONE WITH YOU. I CANNOT BLAME HIM. HE IS THREATENING ME WITH A LAWSUIT NOW!!!! Naturally, I call Spirit, the delivery firm Lowes works. They first claim it was not in the truck on 7/7/202. Someone at Spirit assures me that it will be taken care of ASAP. Spirit tells me that they will send an email to Lowes. I call Lowes at Washington DC. The store in Washington DC does not even take any phones.
The next day, all day no news. As if I never purchased a fridge. I paid for all services and after getting my money, Lowes decided to disappear. They decided to forget about it. They got the money, but they don't bother with delivering the fridge. So I need to fix Lowes' issues, since Lowes does not care. Here we go again. Lowes customer service calls. Nothing. They say call Spirit. So I call Spirit again. They now started to claim, "Someone called with your number and canceled the order." The story changed. No one uses my phone except me. And I did not cancel any order. This is a total lie.
I call Lowes again, I ask to talk with a supervisor. I am being told that I should file a claim in a written format. Then it should take 24 hours for the "Big Lowes' help...". This is not a good option when the tenant is in full-blown anger. I did everything right but apparently I am working with the wrong firm, that does not even care. I call Spirit. Now they know my number and they are willingly do not open it. Just to prove their unwillingness to take calls from my number, I get a new Google Voice number, and then I call Spirit again. When they see a different number they take the call. Now they are saying, "You canceled it." No one canceled any orders. I am asking for a person who knows what he/she is doing. No one cares. They say it's not possible.
On 7/9/2020 I call Spirit, ask to talk with their manager. They say, '"The manager is gonna call you." But no calls. Then I call Lowes. I want to file a complaint. The first phone number they gave me looks like this: 1 374 327 73782. Something is wrong, this is not a US phone number. I ask the customer service person to check the number and tell me a real number. I get 1 347 7382. And then I call that number to file a complaint, that number does not even work. Lowes has a very sad and bad style.
In the duration of this terrible experience, I had to call both Lowe's and Spirit a total of 20-25 times. No one wants to help. No one deserves this especially when you are the landlord and obligated to solve your tenant's issues asap. This whole thing destroyed my relationship with my tenant. The fridge is still not delivered at the time I am writing this review.

Ordered new appliances from Lowe's Home Improvement in North Carolina (fridge, stove, dishwasher). Only the fridge was in stock and the other items back ordered. Made arrangements for delivery of the fridge. On the delivery date we got an automated call advising the item would be delivered between 3:00 and 7:00 PM. When that time passed, I called the store and was advised by personnel the fridge was "on the truck", and it would be delivered no later than 8:30 PM. I inquired about them calling the driver. That's when I learned Lowe's no longer does deliver,y but uses a third party vendor called U.S.T, and store personnel claimed they have no way of contacting them except by emailing the "home office" in another state. The fridge never arrived that day.
Called the store at 6:10 AM the next day and learn the fridge is back at the store. U.S.T. left the store personnel a note that they called us, but we didn't answer. THIS IS FALSE, WE WERE NEVER CALLED EXCEPT FOR THE AUTOMATED MESSAGE. Made new arrangements, this time U.S.T. left a message at my house that they would be there around 5:00 PM or later. I'm at work (30 minutes away) so I make arrangements to leave before 5. At 1:30 PM my teenager daughter calls and says delivery men are there. I have to talk with them on the phone and "walk them through" where I want it, don't mess up the hardwood floors, etc. The delivery guy says he can hook up the water line for for the ice maker. I have my daughter give him the water line from the old fridge. The delivery guy says, "maybe you should hook it up", I tell him fine, just slide the fridge into place.
I get home later, to find the fridge in place, however the delivery guys TOOK MY COPPER WATER LINE WITH THEM WHEN THEY LEFT! So now I have to drive to Lowe's and get another line. When talking with the manager on duty I'm told again that the store has no way of contacting delivery drivers, or confirming in any way that deliveries are being made. This is absolutely incomprehensible to me, especially when someone orders very expensive items.

I purchased LG dryer DLE7200VE at Lowe's on Royal Pine in Colorado Springs. From the beginning, it has been a lemon. The sensor doesn't work and dry times are prolonged. I purchased a 3 year extended waranty. The LG technician came out twice and changed the technology components without improvement. He check the flow and found it to be good. He then told me that that there was nothing else that could be done and that I should have the vent cleaned. I have had the vent cleaned 5 times in the 2 years I have had it (at $140 each time), primarily due to an erroneus sensor reading.
The screen was blocked only the first time. I had the vent cleaned 3 1/2 months ago and received a d80 error message. I have been unable to get through to the waranty service to schedule service for over two weeks, enduring wait times of up to an hour. The appliance manager attempted to call on my behalf but the waranty department wouldn't allow him to make an appointment for me. How many days and weeks do I have to waste my time on hold trying to get service? I asked to trade in this "lemon" and was told that the machine was "too old." I'm afraid that I will end up buying a new dryer because it will be cheaper than cleaning the vent (which is on the roof) every time I get the error message.
For all who read this review, do NOT purchase an LG product, do NOT purchase any appliance, do NOT purchase an extended warranty from Lowe's. In fact, do not purchase anything from Lowe's.

I then tried to cancel the order but was told that since it had already shipped, I would have to return it to Lowe's for a refund after it was delivered, something that will be difficult since this is a large item and I do not have a truck to transport it. This is totally unacceptable service in my point of view.

Employees in the garden department entrance were not wearing masks that covered their mouth and nose, but were wearing them around their necks or hanging from one ear. One employee was particularly confronting when reminded that we are all to be wearing masks.

We had purchased carpet from Lowe's Home Improvement. It was installed per them. The carpet came with a lifetime warranty on the installation. A couple of years after it had been been installed the carpeting started to fray in the corners especially around the doors. Then the carpeting start to wrinkle. Now the carpet lifts up off the foam padding.
I have been working on this issue for some time. When I went to the store I was told by a salesperson in carpeting that I would have to talk a manager. I went to the service desk and they told me the manager was on a lunch break. Ok with I'll come with me. I'll come and try again. I have tried many times, called many, many phones numbers in hopes of getting a hold of someone. I was so frustrated by all my wasted time for a while I just gave up trying to contact someone.
Now my carpeting looks like a wrinkly old raisin. I once again reached out to Lowe's Home Improvement. To be placed on hold for quite sometime only to be told to call this number. Then call that number to be told to call another number and if that number isn't the right one call this other number. Frustrated once again I have just given up.
So now that it's been a while I decided to try again. I called Lowes Home Improvement and talked with a salesperson and once again I was told to contact the store manager. Guess what? Once again the manager was unavailable. I once again called and spoke with someone from Lowe's Home Improvement this time I asked the person on the phone to please look up my account. She told me she was unable to locate my account. She then proceeded to tell me I would have to go to the people that installed it. Guess what. The same people that installed it are no longer in business. Frustrated once again I guess I'll try in another 5 years. I am extremely disappointed with Lowe's Home Improvement.

We ordered replacement parts for our KOBALT trimmer. We could not get them in store and had to order online. We were charged for our order then an additional order over $500. I've called 3 times. First 2 after over 30 minutes on hold I was disconnected. I'm now on hold again. Terrible service. Email account on their website sends auto reply to call.

emailed/ called. On 06/23/2020 night I checked order status and it said scheduled for delivery on 06/24/2020. In the morning on 06/24/2020 truck driver called us and said the delivery isn't going to happen, as some items are out of stock. No new delivery date was set, nobody called/emailed about delivery cancellation and rescheduling. JUST DISGUSTING! If review would accept 0 stars or minus, I'd give that."

Lowe's carpet installation experience was horrible. They arrived without a Shop Vac. They sweep the dust once old rug was removed. That just put it in the air to fall on the floor again. I had to vacuum up trash between the baseboard and carpet tacks. They carpeted over the dust. I am allergic to dust. The uninstalled rug looked to have been speared and torn by a forklift. This is the damage the installer did:
Master bedroom - Wall, Baseboard, Teal cabinet, Headboard, Dresser finish damaged.
Door dragging across new carpet on one side.
Seams raised into tiny mountains.
Stairs - The installers scratched up one stair that was just refinished and there are dents in the top stair in a row from something being hammered on it.
Carpet damaged by forklift with large holes poked in it in places. They cut around it. Because of this a large piece of leftover carpet was not usable.
Dust Everywhere. I cleaned for 2 1/2 days and housekeeper cleaned for 5 hours to get house clean. I am 76 years old & allergic to dust. The installers did not have a shop vacuum with them just an upright to do the carpet. I had to vacuum as much as possible as the room was filthy after carpet was torn up. It was very hot because they have to turn the AC off to get the carpet to install properly and I was unable to get up all the dust. They swept which is insufficient to remove dust as most of it goes into the air and falls back. The installers acted put out that I was delaying their job. I was able to get the trash between the seam strips and the wall. Apparently they were carpeting over the trash and did carpet over the dust.
Landing - Pattern goofed up. Need same carpet without pattern ordered to replace. Entryway - Chipped and gouged paint and baseboard. Living Room - Ceiling gouged at the foot of the stairs. Left carpet cuttings in the driveway cracks I have written the CEO with no response and the person assigned to help us hasn't resolved any of our issues. I held the phone for over half an hour without getting through to her. Yuck awful installation. Awful customer service. All issues completely unresolved at close to a month after installation. I will not buy anything else other than a package of screws from them.
