I just finished a 4 month remodel of two bathrooms. Home Depot service used to be great, special…read moreeven. Now it's awful. Many staff aren't informed about their job. They can't help you. A man in the paint department said he's not good at color. I asked if there was blue tint in the sample he was making and he said he didn't know and he didn't how to look it up. He said the color was pink and asked why I thought it had blue. I told him it looks purple. Nothing like the pink I asked him to make. Today I waited nearly 15 minutes in the paint department for someone to arrive. 10 of those minutes the phone was ringing non-stop across the way in customer service. I was calling to see if I could get help. I watched customer service standing around talking to one another, not answering the phone. So, I walked over and asked if there was someone who could help in the paint dept. They said someone would eventually come. I asked if he heard the phone ringing, He told me they don't even hear it anymore. I pointed at my phone and said the timer shows I've been calling for over 10 minutes trying to get help and there are 4 of you chatting here. I left it ringing a few more minutes until someone helped me in paint. I was calm and polite and so disappointed by what Home Depot is these days. I don't mind waiting, as needed, but no one is helpful. No one seems to care. I bought tile, flooring, paint, and so forth. I started driving to Lowes in Albany so I could get better help. I don't want to commute for this. My next project is a deck. I won't be working with Home Depot.

An employee was called to assist with cutting 3 simple 1x1.5in boards and was very snarky about it…read morefrom the beginning as if I had caused such an interruption in her day. She kept repeating that she could only cut feet off, which I repeatedly told her that I understood, and after unreasonable attitude from this employee, I asked where the handsaws would be in the store to purchase. Before informing, she repeated that she thought that hand sawing my rather thin boards was a BAD idea and would take a very long time--to which I replied that I had time. She kept repeating her opinion again and again before leading to an in-store handsaw station and recommending that I actually just buy completely different boards so that they didn't need to be cut. I told her that I already had the boards in hand which I DID WANT and she told me again that she could only cut off feet. I was tired of this interaction and just had her cut off a 1-foot section from two boards, and 2 feet from another. Only one of the 1-footers was actually 12 inches, the other was 30cm. I ended up purchasing my own hand saw for remaining cuts. My visit was otherwise fine, but I see no reason for this employee to give such attitude and snark to customer simply asking for boards to be cut--a service which Home Depot is supposed to provide with ease. The employee was a dark-haired woman with a ponytail... slightly older. The handsaw I purchase works great! A fantastic item to own so that I don't disrupt any more Home Depot employees by asking them to cut wood.

She gets way to close to certain employees and breaks up their relationships. Offers things for a "job well done". Fires others after working them until she chooses, knowing she is firing them. Uses people to her liking. Tells things to her "favorite" (Jon) employees about other employees and the Spath family. Not good business practices at all.

Not great when you are investing $1,000 in a raised garden bed. Their selection in store is lacking (couldn't find a common style caulk) and relatively expensive. That said, my three stars goes to the easy-going employees and the unique selection of trim you won't find at big box stores. You can also special order materials and they are great to work with. For these three reasons, I have tried to support this business over the years. Just make sure you triple check the materials. Other than that, centrally located and easy.

True Value as a whole I would definitely give a rating but NOT PHILOMATH OR. Not the way they have handled this situation, very poorly.

The store was empty and I was immediately greeted by a younger kid that seemed friendly enough. I asked about skill saws and he showed me, "the cheapest they had" and indicated he had other models in the back. When I asked about those models he told me they were more and had things like a laser on them. When I asked about a hammer tacker and tried to explain what I meant by that, what I was looking to use it for etc. I was left thinking he had no idea what I was looking for. I thanked him and walked out to spend nearly $600 at Home Depot. I would have preferred to buy some Craftsman tools and support the local franchise, but since this isn't the first time there that I have left disheartened, I doubt I will be back.
