While I don't like leaving negative reviews, especially for a store staffed by people from our local community, my experience this morning left me with no choice. I arrived around 8:30 a.m. when the store was quiet, intending to purchase four outdoor light fixtures along with several solar lights. I approached two associates in the lighting department to ask where I could find a specific fixture, but it was obvious I was interrupting their conversation about weekend plans. After multiple attempts to get assistance, I gave up and searched for everything myself, hoping I was buying the correct products. When I finally made it to self-checkout, one of the light fixtures scanned $40 higher than the shelf price. I waited for the self-checkout associate, Deb, to approve the price correction. She walked away, came back, helped several other customers around me, then walked away again without ever acknowledging that I had been standing there waiting. It wasn't just me who noticed. Other customers were shaking their heads and commenting about what they were seeing. After spending nearly 45 minutes in the store without receiving even the most basic level of customer service, I left my entire cart behind and walked out. Five minutes later, I was at Home Depot. Within minutes, three associates asked if I needed help and personally walked me to the products I was looking for. I purchased everything I needed there instead. For more than 20 years, I considered myself a loyal Lowe's customer. Today, that changed. Lowe's lost a $559.78 sale, but more importantly, they lost a customer who genuinely preferred shopping there. The contrast in customer service between the two stores could not have been more striking. I hope someone in store leadership reads this, because this wasn't about one pricing mistake. It was about feeling completely ignored by employees who simply didn't seem to care. That's something worth fixing. read more

Customer service was above & beyond! At one time I had three staff helping me solve my problem! John Brown wouldn't give up until I had what I needed to solve my problem! BTW John, it worked great! Thank you for sticking with me, you were GREAT!!! read more

I always held Lowes in high regard, but this last go around with online order for home delivery was terrible. I purchased 6 Bonnie Plants; two each of two types of tomatoes and two bell pepper plants. The order arrived in two boxes via FedEx. One box was missing its bottom so the driver solved the problem by ignoring the "This Side Up" imprints and delivered it upside down. The internal packaging, a clear plastic clam shell designed to secure the pot and plants in the larger carton were broken open, potting soil fallen to the bottom of the box and plants badly wilted. The second box was crushed on the side, similar contents with burst open containers, plants broken at the stem, dirt all over the inside of the box. It is a 20 mile round trip to Lowes Windham, ME the reason I ordered from the Lowes website. Customer service solutions offered, they said we had three options: 1) Put all of the damaged plants in a new boxes, wait for FedEx pick up, they will determine refund or replace after inspection. 2) Take the worst of the plants down to Lowes (20 mile round trip) and they will replace those. 3) Receive a 10% discount for the inconvenience of damaged good being delivered. So $3.60 on the $36 useless order. I opted for option 4. Toss the Lowes order in the trash, take the hit on $36 as an educational expense, and purchased new plants at Paris Farmers Union. read more

I went in on 11/23/24 to purchase two items. An employee approached me and offered his help (it wasn't even his department). Bob was very friendly and knowledgeable. It went over and above read more

We love having this Lowe's fairly close to our summer vacation lake home in Naples. We bought all our decking and porch railings,bathroom and kitchen sinks, insulated garage doors and lots more there and everything was very nice quality. One summer, our dryer failed and we had to have one delivered for the next Saturday, and Lowe's was the only place that could guarantee delivery. We also got a gas grille there. Really high quality with cast iron grates. All put together, loaded it into the truck, and it was ready to go when we got home. They carry very high quality products for a very fair price. Garden center has very nice plants also. read more

See all

We purchased a dishwasher, range and refrigerator. The first two appliances were fine but the refrigerator arrived damaged TWICE. We've spent two afternoons waiting for the delivery truck and had to shuffle cold foods around to keep it from perishing during the transfer from one fridge to the other and now we're stuck waiting to get an undamaged fridge. This hasn't been a great experience. read more

Shopped here today. Outside line moved quickly. Employees were pleasant and very helpful. Thank you to the young woman that helped us with a Craftsman tool box. Shame on me for forgetting her name. She also helped us with a compressor and dusted off the box before helping my husband but it on the flatbed carraige. read more

I just bought a fridge here after mine went kaput. We went because of the sale they were having and time constraints with delivery. They were the only store that could bring us a fridge in the next few days with $0 delivery charge. There was one very helpful associate, Cynthia, in the appliance department, but other than that, people didn't seem to give a flying f*c* about anything going on in the store. Cynthia was helping another couple with a fridge and there was another woman who had been working on the computer, but didn't greet anyone and disappeared as soon as customers showed up. So we waited, and waited, and waited. While we were waiting, another customer showed up from the carpet dept. and asked if someone could be paged because there was no one around. Maybe Cynthia was the only one doing any work in the whole store? She eventually got to us and did a great job quickly entering our info for the delivery of our new appliance. Amazingly enough, as soon as she started helping us, the other woman showed up from the nether regions of the store... Hmm? Where were you while we waited for 20+ minutes? Did the guy in carpets ever get someone to help him? Will Timmy get out of the well? The Saga continues... The customer service here, despite good ol' Cynthia, seemed lacking at best. I will continue to frequent Home Depot across the street, where I have received some of the most amazing service since my long gone, hometown hardware store. Good to know for me, a local. read more

This is my first review. I was so happy with the service and guidance from the employees at this store that I had to post. Not pushy and very polite. read more

Lowe's Home Improvement - Hardware Stores Near Me - Windham, Maine

My husband and I shop here pretty frequently. I wanted to give them a quick review, since one of the employees was very helpful last night. We bought a sliding glass door from the Lowes in North Conway (we are right on the ME / NH border, so we're close to both). It didn't come with any instructions, but our contractor knew how to put it in, so that was fine. After it was put in he was slightly freaking out. He said that the door had to put been put together incorrectly at the factory as there weren't any drainage holes at the bottom. The employees at the store in N Conway were very rude and refused to call us back. So when we went to this one to grab some boards my husband told the employee about this situation, and asked for advice. He told him that it does have the drainage holes at the bottom. There's a cover you need to pull out that will expose them (he showed him exactly how to do it), the wheels on our door are also broken. He told him that if it is in fact brand new (Which it is), then if he had gotten it there they'd let him just bring the door in and they'll give him a new one. Instead of putting different wheels on which he said can sometimes be a pain in the butt to do. I'm slightly bummed that we didn't get it here (in Windham) now. We can't seem to get a hold of anyone at the lowes store we bought our sliding glass door from. Yet were able to get an answer from this employee pretty quickly. read more

Very difficult situation that we had at Lowe's. I had wanted some blinds cut and could not find an associate. So I went to the register and asked and they said they would page someone. After several minutes of waiting and several pages over the intercom, still nobody came. We talked to another associate who pressed the 'help' button that would automatically page over the intercom. After several of these, we got the assistant manager, who came over and he informed us that he could not help us either, as he wasn't trained to cut on the machine for blinds and shades (managers should really be trained to operate the store's machinery in case of an emergency). He called several more associates and none knew how to cut blinds either. Keep in mind, this was hours before their closing so I would assume that there would be at least one trained associate working daily. Apparently the employee had called out that day, and nobody else in the store knew how to do it. We finally, after about 25+ minutes of waiting, got someone over to the department (hooray!). The blinds I had considered were not able to be cut, but the equivalents were too expensive, so I asked about a roller shade instead. The associate who came to help us took a phone call after starting to help us which took about 10 minutes of additional waiting. And once he had finished, he promptly said that he didn't know how to use the machine to cut the roller shades...after we had waited while he had taken a phone call. He did offer us 10% off our next purchase. I'm just a bit upset that there are only one or two trained employees at a time for this department, and I can understand the staffing shortage, but really they should train more of their existing employees to know how to cut blinds and shades to avoid situations like this in the future. read more

Tons of help around...do you think anyone spoke to me in the 20 minutes I was looking for things nope. Customer service in America. Sigh.

My wife ordered a fridge and the store said it will be delivered in 11 days. The day comes and goes and no fridge. Our old fridge is about dead. Call the store and they state it's still in Connecticut, it will be here next week and they set a date for delivery. That day comes and goes with no fridge. Old fridge is dead. Using coolers for food now. Call the store and they state they have no idea where it is. At this time, it's to late to get a refund and go to Home Depot. They use the same distributor! New fridge is still in Connecticut. They set yet another date for delivery 25 sept, 22 days since order was placed. Still no fridge. Lowes text service states it's not even at the store! So here we sit. No fridge. Three days taken off from work for 3 no delivery no shows. And no set clue as to when or if we will ever get the new fridge. All I can get is "Sorry bout that" from Lowes. Unacceptable! read more

Do not use Lowe's in Windham for any services other than delivery. It has taken us almost 2 months for them to coordinate their subs to install a simple backsplash in our kitchen. We were told it would be done within the week we ordered it, 2 months ago and would be installed in time for Thanksgiving. It was not. This morning the installer called, he was expected to arrive here first thing this morning, to say Lowe's could not find the material in their warehouse for our job. I like the store but we will never use these people again for any services other than delivery. I suggest you do the same that is unless you enjoy getting the run around from people that absolutely haven't a clue which end is up. read more

We have bought two appliances from Lowes in the past couple of years. A dryer quit while under extended warranty, probably due to an acknowledged problem by CMP. After dealing with Bob's appliance repair from Parsonfield without good results, Lowes gave us a new dryer, a new warranty and $100 back because the dryers were on sale. The manager didn't even hesitate about getting a new dryer to us. We just bought a new gas range and the same sales specialist helped us out. Arthur Porter is courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. He was right on top of getting the appliances to us in a timely manner and keeping us informed of schedules, etc. When the propane dealer's service rep ran into a problem, because he didn't know about a safety switch, Arthur wanted to be kept in the loop until things were worked out. We shopped around and compared prices. But it was Lowes' service and willingness to back the products up that had us return. Thank you Arthur and Lowes. Claudia read more
