This is absolutely the worst place in town to buy anything plumbing related. Where do I start they will try to rip you off by quoting you one price and then saying they are out of stock when you get there. They have no regard for your time and will happily waste half a day playing games. Trust me when I say steer clear of this place!!! I recommend driving to Tampa or Fort Myers instead of going here.

Stay away from their install services. I ordered 6 pre-hung interior doors and 3 pocket doors. I…read morewas told they won't install pocket doors, so I hired my own installer for those doors. The pocket doors were the first to be installed, and they were great. Worked perfectly. Unfortunately, the Lowe's installer then arrived and installed the pre-hung door. One of them abutted one the pocket doors, and suddenly that pocket door would no longer slide easily without getting scratched. The installer came out and spent about 5 minutes looking at it and said it was the pocket door that was the problem. Lowe's has taken the same position, and refuses to do anything else about it. They say it's my problem. I asked that another installer come take a look at it, and they claim no one else is available. It's my problem. Very poor customer service. I still have 2 more doors that need to be installed, and they expect me to allow the same installer to do the work. Shameful way to do business.. Lowe's refuses to stand by their work. Don't waste your time if you want proper installation with any kind of guarantee

They literally talk through you and will NOT acknowledge your existence.

The male made eye contact on a different occasion but refused to answer me until my husband asked the same question again and all he did then was respon with one word. We spent almost $400.00 in the store. The cash register person was sweet and helpful. Im just appalled at how humans treat humans these days.
