Erik is exactly why I came into Home Wise's showroom. He took the time to understand what I actually needed and guided me to the washer and dryer that fit those needs perfectly. Erik was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely personable, so the whole experience never felt like a transaction. He was also transparent about the entire process from start to finish. On top of that, my washer and dryer were delivered the very next morning with zero issues. Erik and Home Wise have earned my business for all of my future appliance needs. Highly recommend!

Yet, here I…read morewas, at the Home Depot in Pleasanton, doing just that, determined to fix the issue before it turns into an infestation I can't handle. Surveying the products on the shelf, I realized that I could use some of the fly ribbons and sticky traps I already have at home (previously used for flies). But I also grabbed some Safer Home pantry pest traps this time around. The store was clean and organized on a Wednesday afternoon. The pest control products were easy to find, the location similar to most other HD stores (far aisle on the left in Pleasanton). Checking out was quick and simple without any waits. In fact, there were workers at the self checkout registers helping customers ring up their orders... unnecessary but appreciated (as long as they don't slow me down). There was even an employee greeting guests at the entrance, and she was helpful and friendly too. Even though I just made a small purchase on this day, I was genuinely impressed with the service here, as well my overall experience.

I walked into the store when it wasn't very busy. There was a salesman behind the desk, and as I…read morestarted to say what I needed, he let two men walk in and interrupt me. I asked him to show me electric fireplace inserts. He asked if I had a contractor to install one, which I did not. I referenced a competitor who offers installers and he said, "well, we aren't them." I thought it was a rude response, as I was just trying to get a feel for why some places do, some places don't. And, an overall idea of what is involved in the installation process. They only had one insert on display, which didn't impress me. I got an urgent work message, so left in somewhat of a hurry, but also left with no interest in giving them my business. Too bad.

I really enjoyed walking around and exploring their collection of unique items. They don't have as many plants and varieties of soils that you'd find at a nursery, but I see a lot of potential here. The owner was telling me about his vision to expand their collection of plants. I'm looking forward to coming again and seeing how the place is transformed.
