We worked with Anthony in the cabinetry department, who was great. He was incredibly patient and helpful on all dimensions. Will definitely use Lowe's in the future given the experience and selection. read more

I was hugely disappointed by this Lowe's store. I ordered a custom barn doors for my bathroom in preparation for family reunion at my house in Washington DC. I ordered it in August and here is November and I had to cancel the order because they could not get the measurements correct after three attempts the guy who canceled my order was very nonchalant and borderline nasty about me canceling my order. I'm turned off by this location for some strange reason Home Depot is not looking so bad these days. read more

Terrible assistance. All the employees pretend to be working. All they do is walk around and when you ask them for help they always have an excuse not to help you. One lady, short black lady with glasses told me she worked in the paint department. I should go ask a cashier. I wasn't even ready to check out. So why go to a cashier and wait in line? 5 minutes later I see the same employee gossiping in another isle that wasn't the paint department. I asked another employee about an item that according to their website they had 18 in stock. They tell me if it's not on the shelf then we don't have any. They didn't even bother checking. They don't even let you talk. They respond with excuse so quickly and with an attitude. The only reason they got 3 stars is cause I can usually find what I need. No thanks to the employees. They all need to be retrained on how to assist any customer that walks in. Not just one area. read more

Lowe's is my hardware store of choice and has been for years. I recently ran into what I thought was a bargain, 5 bags of StaGreen at $2 each. I bought 5 but was unable to buy more as my trunk was full. I had another project to complete so I didn't get around to using the mulch for a couple weeks. When I did , I could see why it was so inexpensive! The bags were not filled with what one expects to see as mulch. What I received was bag after bag filled with shards of wood that look like the remnants of "bark stripping" you see when cutting a large felled tree section. Nothing in the bags resembled as one sees with Scott's mulch or other reputable brands. The grade of mulch was only good for , well, nothing! So glad my trunk was full!! Customer service did not reimburse me ; I guess "caveat emptor" is the lesson here! read more

I started this review months ago and never finished. That review had 1 star. As usual...this location is absolutely no help. I stood by the drills waiting for assistance. Someone from customer service called across the loud speaker for me and no one came.. Now, December 24...I had a very pleasant experience. I didn't need to ask for any help. lol Well, honestly there were 2 guys in the floral department who did stop to answer my question, there was a woman who scanned and told me the prices since the plants were not priced. So, I must say I did receive help. Now theee best part! All of the plants were 50% off! I am in awe and so happy. So guess what!!! I'm giving 5 stars all bc of that. lol there was a little lady who told me "look the Christmas plants are 50%. I told her...and so are all of these." We both were so excited. read more

I ordered an AO Smith hot water heater, on line, from Lowes 2438 Market Street, NW, Washington, DC. First one arrived and the driver left. When I opened the box, the unit was horribly dented. Customer service told me they would pick up the damaged unit the next day and credit my MasterCard in several days. The customer service representative told me to go online and purchase another one. I did. This time, when the SECOND unit arrived, before the driver left, I opened the box and this one was not only badly dented but was also USED, with scuffed up pipes where it had been obviously hooked up and then returned to Lowes. I refused delivery and the driver returned the SECOND unit to Lowes, Market Street. I received a Refund Receipt for the SECOND unit, MINUS the $69 same day delivery fee I had paid. Now I'm on my THIRD attempt at getting a brand new, unused, undented A.O. Smith unit from the Alexandria, VA Store. read more

I needed some items to complete some minimal home improvement tasks and this was nearby me at that moment. I figured I could run in here and grab what I needed and be out fairly quickly. I was not. I ended up having to search for items in here, because where items should logically be, they weren't. I only needed those few items and it took me far longer to find them. Each time I looked for an employee to help me, it turned into a deserted area. I walked about in here, ending up having to go up and down many aisles before finding the items I needed. This was particularly frustrating. The only good thing to come out of this was being able to get through the register area fairly fast. When the cashier asked me if I found everything I needed, I just kind of stared at her and grunted out yeah. I figured it would not have matter if I said no, because there is nothing they could do at that point. read more

Great customer service. The employees are always friendly and helpful. The new manager Fatmata and harder crew are amazing!

I would recommend against buying a major appliance or tool from Lowes based on extremely poor customer service. A short version of my experience: * Ordered a table saw from Lowes (online) for delivery to the Washington DC store. I arrived to pick it up on 8/12/25 per their instructions and was told they only had one of the two boxes needed. The store manager promised to find out what happened to the other box and get back to me, so I left. * The Lowes online system said that the order was completed, which was inaccurate. When I asked the store manager to correct it, she said to ignore the system. * For two weeks I kept contacting the store (they did not call me) and they hinted the second box was lost in transit by the shipper. They could not tell me when the additional box would be available and finally stopped returning my messages or picking up my calls. * I called the Lowes national customer service line and days later a representative there confirmed that the box was lost in transit. * This is the important part: rather than have the manufacturer replace the box, on 8/28/25 the representative finally told me my only options were to bring the table saw back to the store (I had since unpacked it in my shop - it weighs 240 pounds) for a refund, or accept a $164 payment for my inconvenience. When I asked why they could not simply get a replacement for the second box, she just said it was not possible. No other explanation. * It has been a completely disappointing experience, since I used to like Lowes. A box was lost in transit, a minor issue where Lowes should have simply gotten a replacement from the manufacturer and finished my order. They refused to do it, and everyone in Lowes kept saying that it was up to the store to resolve the issue. They didn't. * As a footnote, the manufacturer (Grizzly) shipped me the second box (even though it was not their issue) because they realized Lowes had dropped the ball and felt sorry for me. I am very thankful to Grizzly for doing so. read more

Don't come here if you need to get a key made !!!!! No one will call someone to the kiosk no matter how many people you ask. And don't ask for a manager, there seems to not be any ever on duty. You're better off going to a small Mom and Pop shop to get a simple key made. read more

I would give a negative rating if possible. Do not order from the this store on line. Horrible customer service and zero response from management when dealing with a none delivered item. Purchased a drill set and still have not received the order or gotten a refund from Lowes. At this point my only recourse is to dispute the payment with my credit card company. They have stolen my money and could not care less about the customer. Worst company I have ever dealt with. The process has been frustrating and difficult with zero results. read more

Stay away from Lowe's! I purchased six Project Source storage containers with lids. I got 6 containers and 5 lids. I did online chat and called Customer Service to get a lid. Neither were helpful! In the end I have to take the container to the store to get a lid. I don't live close to a store, which is why I placed my original order for delivery. I will spend more in gas getting a lid, which they failed to provide. Customer Service is horrible. They claim to care about their customers -- they don't. read more

Lowes needs a better inventory system. I came to this location because the item I was looking for said it was in stock here. I looked, 3 sales associates helped me look and we couldn't find them anywhere. Not exactly sure how that works but I won't be heading to lowes if I need anything specific. I will say the sales associates are very helpful! read more

And we're back to 1 star. After almost a year of dealing with Lowe's incredibly horrible customer service, we are left with two defective doors and no refund nor compensation. We have been trying to work with Lowe's for the last 9+ months regarding our two defective exterior doors, which they acknowledge were installed incorrectly by the installer, and they have failed to make any attempt at remedying the situation. We are now exploring legal options given their negligence and unsafe conditions Lowe's has put our home into. For any type of major project such as windows or door installation, ABSOLUTELY AVOID LOWE'S. And don't bother with floor installation services. Prior to this horrific experience, we made the dumb mistake of considering using Lowe's for floor installation. It took us almost an hour to even find a representative in the flooring department. When we finally found someone, they couldn't be bothered to answer any questions. Know that these issues run company wide and are not exclusive to this brick and mortar location. There is a general installation phone line, which is full of equally useless representatives that claim to "follow up", yet I have never received a follow up on our issue, and this is after calling 1-2x a week for a year. read more

Lowe's is the only retailer that offers a particular Pella brand storm door. their process for pre-ordering estimation, and ordering took two months. They use third-party installers. In my case they used a company called all weather. The whole process was one of lack of communication, poor communication, and no attention to detail. I started this process with Lowe's in Gaithersburg, when the folks in doors and millwork were never available to communicate, I ended up working with the Northeast Washington DC store My experience with both locations was barely one star. Think long and hard before getting involved with Lowe's read more

The location is really nice. The staff was helpful and pleasant. Would recommend to others.

I need a new window shade for my balcony door. I came here a few weeks ago and saw something I liked. I came back to make the purchase today and saw that they were having a sale. Yay! That's about where the good news ends. I asked one of the sales associates to page someone to the window treatment section to assist me. I waited a good 10-15 minutes, but no one showed up. I tracked down another sales associate, who paged someone else. I waited another 10 minutes. Nothing. I found yet another sales associate and asked him to please find me a manager. As the sales associate was trying to figure out which manager to direct me to, some short, bald dude in a black t-shirt and jeans walks by us and the customer service agent asks the guy where a specific manager was. 'Shorty' turns to me and asks what I need. I told him I needed to speak to manager because I've been waiting 30 minutes for assistance and no ne has come to help me. Then Shorty snaps at me, saying "I'm a manager". First of all.... how am I supposed to know who or what you are when you don't have a Lowe's vest on, no name tag on, or anything else identifying yourself as a Lowe's employee? Also, who you raising your voice at, Slim? Anyway, Shorty says he gonna go off to try to find someone and disappears. Another 10 minutes go by and he doesn't return, so I set off looking for him. I find him and e tells me that there's only one window treatment specialist that can assist with custom window treatments, and that she's not here today. Soooo... why didn't somebody tell me that over 30 minutes ago instead of having me wait on someone who isn't going to show up because they're not even here? Shorty sets off again to see if there's anyone else that can help, and comes back saying that the window treatment specialist actually WAS here today, but left at 6:30 pm. I told him that I've been here since 6:00 pm, at which point he proceeds to make all kinds of excuses as to why this person did not show up. At this point, I tell him I need to speak to the store manager because this is unacceptable... and it's costing the store money. I wait another 5 minutes and he comes back saying that there's no manager available. Ok. I'm done. I just walked out of the store at that point because it was clear that nothing was going to get accomplished at this store today. TL:DR: I wasted the better part of an hour of my day, standing around waiting for people to do their jobs. I'm no closer to getting my window treatments and I have nothing but frustration to show for the hour that I wasted. Won't be shopping at this store again. read more

I picked up an order that I had placed online. There was no wait, the employee at the pickup area was friendly and attentive, and she pulled up my order without much difficulty. I had a second order that took a lot longer to find, so my polite wait turned into a bit of aggravation not knowing where the employee helping me was or how long until she would return. She finally came by with my item, had me sign for the pickup, and sent me on my way with a pleasant remark. I went inside the store to see what else they had left of Christmas decor, and there wasn't much but I grabbed a few essentials and tried to pay at the self-checkout station. Unfortunately, the item I bought did not ring up correctly so the self-checkout employee helped me out at a register. There were a lot of clearance garden flags so I picked up a few holiday-themed ones. I would come back to this store. Things were neat, organized, orderly, and easy to find. read more

This review is specifically for the appliances department, which is where I've spent a huge chunk of this year. First of all - the scratch and dent section for appliances at this particular location is soooo good! Like so good! I've been able to get a ton of appliances, all stainless steel for a SUPER discounted price. With everything working so amazingly well. Secondly - there's a young lady in the Appliances Department named Jessica who is AWESOME! If you're thete, ask for her. She's knowledgeable, provides good feedback on the products and can help in making some good decisions on the scratch and dent and full price appliances. And she's just really kind which always makes everything better! I've been to quite a few of the Lowes in the area, and this one by far has the most extensive scratch and dent section and I LOVE a discount! read more

Lots of materials here. Check out was fast. However good luck asking for assistance. Lots of associates are walking around but not helping customers. I tracked an employee down for assistance in moving materials from a high shelf to store level in the door section. He called two times for assistance to my aisle but no one came and he advised going to customer service. They called and still no help. Had to track somone down in a different department altogether. Crazy. read more

The store has lots of items, appliances and gadgets. The strip mall keeps growing, so there are many neighboring stores. If you don't need any help, you will have a less frustrating experience at the store. We wanted information about getting a new door. I called at least four times over three weeks. I couldn't get anyone to call me back. I left messages and called multiple departments. That was about 8 months ago. The excuse given about calling is that phone lines don't always work. I reached a person each time I called. Each employee has a work phone. I have trouble believing I wasn't called due to a faulty phone system. I would have felt better if no excuse had been given. The store visit wasn't much better. They were short staffed in the late afternoon on a weekday. I asked for help in two departments. It took 15 minutes to page someone in the first area we looked at and the only person who was able to provide useful information about doors was a busy receptionist. You can't be in a hurry for a door. I was told that there is a two month back log. You pay a fee ($35) for an employee to measure your door and assess your needs. If you use the company, you can have that fee applied to your door order. If someone had returned a call eight months ago, we could have had a door installed by now. The receptionist told me that the best way to reach her was by email. That wasn't reassuring. She also said that if we had problems hearing from an installer we could email her so she could, "yell at them" or set us up with a new installer. She also suggested trying the competition. When one door closes, another one opens, unless you are at Lowe's. read more

Never again. Most horrific customer service. Took almost 2 months to get a cook top installed because they wouldn't return my call for a quote. Then sent the wrong installation team and it was on me to contact the store and straighten out the issue. Calls involved constant transfers where the next person needed the whole situation explained all over again, 10-15 minute holds and no call backs over weeks. I was ready to just return the stove top and buy the same one literally anywhere else. read more

Had a surprisingly great experience where the worker took his time to point out Craftsman was having a special promotion deal of buying 2 batteries and charger and get an impact wrench for free. But not only did he help with that, he also made sure I had the needed accessories to use this take the lug nuts off my flat tire to get the spare on! read more

The plumbing area is really bad and also the customer service. They never want to help you last time I was in the plumbing area and I saw two girls chatting doing anything and I asked for help and they were like oh yeah, give us a couple minutes and they didn't help at all. You guys need to order more products. read more

Worst service ever. Spoke to an associate on the phone about buying a $2600 appliance. Went to the store to order. There were dozens of employees restocking, but none that would take an appliance order. We were told to go to the manager for help. She blew us off. In all we waited over an hour to purchase the appliance we spoke about on the phone, but could not place the order. We left with $26 of cleaning supplies but no appliance. The mismanagement of this location and lack of service cost a $2600 sale. read more

Like a lot of others, kind of frustrated with my appliance experience. Tried to order 3 appliances online. Website would not complete the order. Called and worked with a very patient woman. 3 hours later, 3 appliances were ordered. 2 of those appliances did come as expected. However, after 2 weeks, the 3rd, a dishwasher - has been a total time-suck and frustration point. Wasted a night at my house in another state waiting on delivery and installation only to be told (after I called at the end of the delivery window - no one called me) that it would not be delivered because it was not in the store for pick up (this was after several hours of calls to Lowe's and Mega Plumbing to confirm the dishwasher was available for pickup beforehand). Now I'm wasting time calling every day to try to cancel the dang thing after we picked up and installed a dishwasher from another store. They haven't been answering the phone. Was trying to avoid spending money at Home Depot but might be headed back there next time. This shouldn't be that hard with computer systems. read more

I go back and forth with Lowes and Home Depot and find one isnt any better than the other. I used to like Lowes because it has more trendy, current, fixtures and items. However Home Depot has stepped up to the plate. Both of them are on par brick and mortar wise but I do like Lowes over Home Depot because Lowes items seem to be in stock more. Lowes has a nice return policy and if you input your email address returns are even easier. Never had a problem with returns even those that are over 90 days. Online is where the fancy high priced stuff comes in at. Take a look online. Also do not go by whats shows is on the shelf in stores. There were items that said they werent available at my store and when I went in they had a shelf full of the item. read more

Lowe's Home Improvement - Hardware Stores Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The company will not budge on returning a faulty product - our schedule limited our use of the product because the complaint occurred after the 48 hour window for returns (72 hours in this case!) we are stuck with a gas range that makes us sick - the lines are installed correctly, the tank is installed correctly, all by professional gas fitting plumbers ( 440.00 dollars worth ) seems like the unit (by GE ) is at fault. We don't want to sell it to someone else, GE won't exchange it!!! read more

My family and I have always had a positive experience at this Lowe's. We usually go on Saturday morning and it's never crowded. It's well laid out and the staff are friendly and helpful. Our baby daughter LOVES this location because of how big it is AND the kid carts they give you. She feels like she's really driving a car throughout Lowe's! read more

Look at all the 1 star reviews here, everyone is telling the truth. Deanna in window blinds is incredibly rude! Working with her was a nightmare. I can't understand how someone working in customer service gets away with having an attitude on the job when they're incompetent? Neither her nor Meredith understand the product they are selling. Do not order blinds from here, it's ghetto productions. read more

Wish I could give 0 stars if that was an option. I am SO beyond frustrated at Lowe's. I ordered a ceiling fan nearly 2 months ago, and purchased Lowe's installation with it. First 2 people were no shows, and the 3rd person installed it but the fan wasn't working. I called Lowe's to have them send a replacement fan which they said they did, but it never came. I followed up the next week and they said no replacement was ever ordered, so that person ordered one. Again, no fan showed up. I called again and that person said AGAIN no replacement fan has been ordered.... this is absolutely unacceptable and at this point fraudulent that they charged me for a product and service nearly 2 months ago that has yet to be delivered/completed, and they refuse to order me a replacement! Every time I speak to them, they are unhelpful, monotone, unapologetic, and have 0 urgency. Every time I've had someone come for this fan I have to take off work and move a ton of furniture. It's extremely inconvenient and all I'm asking for is a working fan to be installed that I ALREADY paid for. Will never be using Lowe's for installation or home products again and do not recommend anyone else to - they do not care about you. read more

They don't answer the phone. They pick up and put you on hold. I tried calling this store for two days and still havent gotten anyone. This happened yesterday 1/31/24 and today 2/1/24 at 3:51 pm. So whoever on the phones don't want to be there and is hurting your business. I had a simple question yet no one picked up! This is ridiculous. I've called several times and it rings for about 6-7 minutes then you get out on hold for another 10. They pick up and put you back on hold then hang up! This is the 2nd time this has happened and the other time I got two ppl who didn't know anything. What if I was calling for an emergency for another employee or someone from corporate? This is beyond unprofessional and they keep doing it. read more

Came here looking for something in particular. It was a busy Saturday evening so I tried to look for my item to the best of my ability before asking for help. It said there was 13 items in stock but when I went and looked for it, I could not find it. I asked one employee who helped look at a couple boxes and told me that I would probably have better luck with customer service. When I went to customer service and told him my situation he helped me look for it. I believe his name was Jared, but he was a skinny tan skin gentleman. He was very hopeful with me and looked through every single JB Weld box for me to help me find my item. Unfortunately we were not successful with our find, but I truly appreciated him taking the time to help me look through every single box. Awesome customer service by him! read more

When I leave a review it's either in high praise or in full disappointment. Rarely do I post a 3 or 4 star because for most that's just business as normal. It's a pity that mediocrity is what is generally accepted. That being said this store delves past mediocre into a Faustian hell all it's own. Yesterday, 7/25 my wife called Lowe's to see if they had a particular product. They did and she ordered it online for an in store pickup. Two hours later I drove there (a 35 minute trip one way) and when I got to the place where online orders are kept the person behind the counter told me it wasn't up yet. By now about two and a half hours had passed and I was mildly annoyed but understood that on Saturdays the store is probably very busy. I kept my distance from her as the mask she was wearing only covered her mouth and not her nose - this is even though DC has a mask law in place right now and that outside of the store it is clearly stated that masks are mandatory for all individuals. That also was a minor annoyance. Can anyone please train store personnel in the proper use of PPE. After sitting and waiting for close to an additional half hour she then told me they are out of stock on the item that we had earlier ordered online. When I asked why the items weren't put aside for me and why I wasn't told this earlier I was interrupted by this individual who then started to spout off her interpretation of store policy regarding these on line orders. Never mind that this was now close to 3 hours after the order was placed. When I again asked why I wasn't informed that they were out of stock she responded by saying saying the person who said it was there was wrong to do that. I tried to ask why I wasn't called - again cut off by her saying I should have gotten an email. When I said I hadn't she didn't apologize for the waste of my time or try to suggest another product - she just got louder. Every time I tried to ask something or make a point I was cut off by her talking over me. I'm not about to get into a shouting match with someone who needs a course not only in customer service but how to wear a mask during a pandemic. Basically her response was that I should have been emailed that it was out of stock and that the fault lie in someone else - either the person who said they had the item or who didn't send the email. Again, no apology which would have gone a long way to alleviating my annoyance. I left the store without going to check for a possible item to replace the one I wanted as no suggestions were offered for that and to be honest I was by that point pissed and didn't want to remain in the source of that annoyance. With a very sour taste in my mouth for this store and for whomever is in charge of training their associates I walked back to my car. When I got there I called my wife to relate this and while we were talking she heard an email come through. It was the same individual saying that the item was out of stock and that the order was cancelled. It seemed obvious to both of us that someone screwed up by not notifying us and now they were just trying to cover their .... bases. I strongly suggest that Lowes send in individuals of different backgrounds to this store without notice (ie - secret shoppers) to test their customer service. Personally, I doubt that I'll ever return to this store again. The idea of customer service I experienced was more akin to the service a bull gives to a cow. read more

Horrible service. Beware: When you buy a plant and specifically ask if they also have a 1 year plant guarantee love Home Depot and they say yes, do NOT believe them. They will lie and shrug when you come back. And now and I have a dead plant with a receipt just weeks outside of the *new* 90 day return policy they're now pointing to to deny the return. I'll stick with Home Depot for my home & plant needs and urge others to do the same. Lowe's, do better. Y'all don't seem to be doing well enough against Home Depot as it is...this isn't the way to win customers. All over a $20 plant. To not at least provide a store credit and decent service was an avoidable miatake. read more
