The friendly staff are helpful and can point you in the right direction for what you need. There's an information desk to the left when you walk in and you can usually ask questions there, if there's no one there the cashiers can help. They do so many different things that I didn't know about - they rent power tools and it's super affordable (I rented a sander for 4 hrs for $10), they repair screen doors, they have garden supplies...the list goes on. I'm super happy with the repair they did on my screen door so I'm including a picture.

There was only one guy in the paint department and he was busy helping others and seemed a bit overwhelmed. Still, he was able to answer a few questions we had regarding the stains. The other departments are basically the same as any other Home Depot, but maybe a tad smaller than some of the suburban locations. The service is not as good as other locations, but I overall is not bad. Basic customer service. Home Depot, Inc. is a home improvement retail corporation that sells tools, construction products, appliances, and services. Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer in the United States. In 2021, the company had 490,600 employees and more than $151 billion in revenue. The company is headquartered in incorporated Cobb County, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.

The indirect water heater was still under warranty and the manufacturer helped trace us back to this supply house. Jim Seabaugh helped facilitate the entire transaction since the plumber was MIA. He manages the store, he's a hard worker and he's been at this location for years. He knows his stuff. If he doesn't know; he will find out. I am so grateful to have had an unfortunate blessing in disguise. I call Jim for all our plumbing needs now. I 100% trust his opinion and he has not steered us wrong on 3 separate jobs. I've known him for years and he's bailed us out each time. Thank you Jim!

This is actually a plumbing supply business. I used to go here more often earlier in my career,…read morebut now it's not my first choice when it comes to plumbing supplies. Their selection and inventory is not as good as it once was. They're okay for basic stuff, but if you need any out-of-the-ordinary plumbing items (which, on the east side of Providence, is quite often, considering the number of old houses), you are better off going elsewhere, such as Ardente Supply. One time, one of the plumbers I work with was replacing some rotted 4" cast iron drainage pipe in an old house. He stayed on the job while he sent his helper to Seekonk Supply with a list of PVC pipe and fittings. When Seekonk Supply had picked most of the order, the apprentice called the plumber to inform him that the supply house did not have one common, but critical, fitting. So, the plumber told his apprentice to leave the rest of the items there and go somewhere else. Unlike some other plumbing supply companies, I have rarely seen homeowners in here, so they seem to cater almost exclusively to trade professionals. Their parking lot is quite small, although there is on-street parking available. Over the years I've been coming here, most of the countermen - who've been a mix of older and younger guys - have been decent. Today, however, the older guy who waited on me was struggling pretty badly with a simple order. This location is actually a branch store of Seekonk Supply; their main location is in Rehoboth, Mass., and has a much wider selection of plumbing supplies, including pipe and fittings used in commercial and industrial plumbing. One good thing I can say about the Providence branch of Seekonk Supply: they are one of the few supply companies that have free coffee!
