    I've been coming here to have keys cut for my business for a year now and the service is lacking,…read moreto put it lightly. The gal working the counter is curt and not very helpful. Expect to wait about ten minutes for someone to hopefully show up and cut keys, then give up and track someone down yourself. There are old workers milling around the store doing inventory and chatting, but none of them have time to help cut some keys? Look, I get it, cutting keys by hand is tedious, time consuming, and probably annoying. But telling a customer that "it's a lot of work, I can do it later" is not a good way to run a business and retain a customer. I'm happy to drive a little further to find someplace that's more willing to help.

I went in the other day just to find some tiny screws, and they have a huge selection-better than Home Depot, and you can get someone who actually knows what they're talking about to help you find some random screws that cost $0.26 cents each. Where do you get that kind of service nowadays? The shelves are packed with just about everything you need for any kind of small or medium project around the house. Hope you stay in business forever!

    I visited this store for the first time on 6/27/2026 and unfortunately had a very disappointing…read moreexperience. When I walked in, two employees were standing at the registers talking with each other. Neither acknowledged me, paused their conversation, or even looked up as I entered. I brushed it off at first, assuming they were simply caught up in what they were discussing. I couldn't find the door handle I needed, so I approached one of the employees at the register. He said he would call someone to meet me in the aisle. I returned to the aisle and an older employee walked right past me, made eye contact, and said nothing. When he came back, he looked at me and said only, "Yeah?" in a dismissive tone. I showed him the handle and asked whether it was available or could be ordered. He replied, "It's a special handle, we don't have it," and immediately walked away. The lack of basic courtesy, acknowledgment, or willingness to help was surprising and disheartening. I left feeling unwelcome and judged. I don't like assuming the worst, but the way I was treated -- while wearing a bright pink polo and presenting as an openly gay man -- felt pointed. Whether intentional or not, it was hurtful. Customers deserve respect, professionalism, and at minimum, simple acknowledgment. This experience fell far short of that. Shame on them for allowing this kind of treatment.

I recently had to get some mulch glue. The garden center associate couldn't have been less helpful. She has never heard of such a product and pretty sure they don't carry something like that. I was told to go check out the plumbing aisle since that's where all the glue is. So I went over to the plumbing aisle and checked just in case. Of course the item wasn't there. I also tried to flag down an associate but he couldn't scurry away fast enough. I literally ran after him shouting EXCUSE ME!! CAN YOU HELP ME FIND A PRODUCT??? The associate couldn't muster any sense of concealing annoyance. He told me they only sell mulch glue online and walked away without any further assistance. Like help me get some heavyweight gravel off of the shelves. Check other items I needed help with. Nothing. And the parking here also sucks. The aisles are also very cluttered and brimming with end cap aisle products. Also don't bother attempting to purchase any terra cotta potters. I had to return all of them due to every items having scratches and gashes. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to even sell it in the condition it was in when I placed an order as an online pickup. All in all, much better to drive the extra distance to visit Lowes in San Clemente. The employees are happy to assist and the store is much cleaner and easier to navigate.

    My husband and I first met Andrew (Andy) when we went to Home Depot looking for closet doors for…read moremultiple rooms in our home. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely interested in finding exactly what we needed. He immediately stood out as one of the best sales professionals we have ever worked with. Our experience with him was so positive that when we later decided to replace two exterior doors in our home, we specifically went back to Home Depot to work with Andy and ultimately purchased both doors through him. Even though our contractors had offered to get the exterior doors for us through their manufacturer connections and handle the installation at a better price. We still chose Home Depot because of Andy. There may always be another option or a better deal somewhere, but trust, reliability, and exceptional service are much harder to find. Andy genuinely listens to his customers. He is caring, approachable, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He understands what you need, gives thoughtful and trustworthy advice, and consistently follows through. He truly under-promises and over-delivers. That kind of trust creates loyal customers. His follow-up was exceptional as well. Even when we couldn't make a couple of the appointments, he remained patient, continued following up, and kept providing us with additional options. He never gave up on helping us, and his persistence always felt genuine rather than sales-driven. We have literally raved about Andy to our friends and family. He deserves to be recognized and hopefully compensated accordingly for the exceptional service, integrity, and dedication he brings to his job.

I grew up in Mission Viejo and have always enjoyed shopping here because they have a great selection of products and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful.

He was patient, kind, and took the time to help us find everything we needed. He even found a few items we had been unable to locate the first time around, which was incredibly helpful. Trevor is a perfect example of outstanding customer service. Because of experiences like this, I will continue coming back to this Home Depot for all of my home improvement needs.
