Chose to do a Kitchen Remodel with Lowe's. Spent $55,000 on new cabinets to be installed by Lowe's and another $16,000 on all new appliances. Ordered cabinets in early November, 2022, and almost 5 months later, the job is still un-finished. I've been without a kitchen sink or oven the entire time. Originally told by Lowe's that new cabinets will arrive in mid- December, so we rushed to find handyman to tear out old kitchen cabinets, a plumber and electrician to move electrical and plumbing lines. Paid top dollar since we didn't have time to shop those services and just used first company that could do the job right away since cabinets were coming in. The cabinets arrived on Dec 28th (2-weeks later than promised), but I was then told installer can't install until Feb 13th. After several complaints and calls, Lowe's arranged to have installer come on Jan 18th. Nearly 100 boxes of cabinets and materials sat in my house for 3-weeks. When installer finally showed up they unpacked the cabinets to install them, and found that several cabinets were damaged and had to be re-ordered. Additionally they found that we had cabinets that would not fit our walls because they were not measured correctly by the Lowe's representative and design team ordered cabinets base on incorrect measurements. A new design was drawn up and different size cabinets had to be ordered. They finally showed up the end of February, and now fighting to get installer to come back and finish the job. This has been a disaster from the beginning, and Lowe's customer service has no sense of urgency to get installers out. 5 calls to customer service and no remedy.
DO NOT USE LOWES INSTALLATION SERVICES. It's heavily marked up labor and nothing but a headache. Use a contractor instead.
2/23/23 Today I called Lowes again to get an update and still NO RESOLUTION. I keep getting pushed down the line. They offered to install cabinets on March 15th......3 more weeks away.
That is un-acceptable when I have waited 4 months already and customers who ordered only a month ago are getting their cabinets installed before me. I will keep posting updates everyday until this is resolved.
2/24/23 Resolution still in the works. My contact at Lowe's customer service did not call me back yesterday like he promised.
2/27/23 Installers are here but we still have problem with wrong size cabinets that were ordered. Will have to order again and wait 3 MORE WEEKS!!!!!! This is STUPID
2/28/23 Installer discovered today that we have more cabinets that were ordered by Lowe's with wrong size.
3/7/23 Was told a week ago that Lowes would send out a representative from KraftMaid to look at our kitchen to determine best plan of action to remedy our problem. No one has called me back to let me know when they are coming and when I called customer service back (you never speak to same person) they know nothing about this. Might be time to call the lawyer. read more
