For as long as I can remember, even prior to moving to the central coast, Lowe's has been my go to…read morehome store, usually having items I need for a home project. Recently, I've had a few above average experiences, where store employees have help load my truck with pavers and concrete border, which was great customer service, but it's the exception. Wandering aisles looking for help can get frustrating, needing help in plumbing and ending up in electrical because there is no one around has caused me to leave the store more than once. Rarely will I visit Lowe's without knowing what I need and where it is, the mobile app has come in handy. Again, that's a lack of customer service, if I have to turn to my app for help. Returns have been very easy, which is nice, using my Lowe's Reward, especially if I no longer have the receipt. Self checkout is hit and miss, if there is an item that doesn't have a SKU and they need to look it up. Even if I present them with a picture of the item and stock number, they still feel the need to look it up. Policy? Maybe but my time is valuable. Overall, if you don't need sale help, the big box store is average. Go in knowing what you need and it's a good experience. Don't go in expecting knowledgable, readily available sales associates.

I finished my project and ended up with many unopened boxes of the stone. I tried to return it, but they said they don't accept returns. I really wish they had told me that up front. I would have purchased less, but went with the 20% overage standard. I asked them for the reason they couldn't accept the return and they just said they don't... $400+ I'm out. Not to mention that this is good product that someone else could use. What a waste. I even asked for store credit because I'm gonna need materials in the future. But maybe I'll find another source.

She understood her product and went out of her way to find a particular paver for us. She made the experience enjoyable. We left with confidence that the paver chosen was the right one. The driver who delivered our pavers was amazing. David Martinez knows how to maneuver the forklift like no others. We were concerned because our driveway is rather steep. No problem for David even when it was a tight squeeze in some areas. Lisa and David--- A pure delight to work with.

Susanne has a wonderful sense of style with color and materials, so I would refer her to be the "Stylist of Tile & Stone." Her recommendations were right on target for our kitchen. Our countertops are CambriaUSA, family owned and American-made. I love my countertops! Not only beautiful to look at but nice to use and easy to maintain.

My husband and I received a recommendation for Pacific Shore Stones from our installer and we are so happy he did! We had been to numerous places and left them all feeling even more overwhelmed but when we walked into this showroom, it was a completely different experience. We were greeted and taken care of immediately. They had plenty to look at in the yard and even more samples in the showroom. The options were endless and it made finding the perfect quartz countertop so easy for us. We were almost in shock when we left there feeling like we had accomplished what we came there for. It seemed like something that was so out of reach but Pacific Shores Stones made it a reality for us. Our countertops turned out amazing and we are very grateful. Thank you!

Their prices were very comparable and the selection was far superior. The entire staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. The yard staff (Jose) actually pulled down a new stack of lumbar that was in storage and helped me hand select (and loaded) the best lumbar possible as some of the boards in the sales area weren't quite straight. I haven't had customer service this great in years! Even if I have to pay a little extra, I'll go back here for the fantastic customer service. Well worth it!

I am so glad I did. The supply was much better and prices were way better. These guys manage their own redwood land and mill their product. You save by cutting out a middle man.

By the way they have all the sizes. The big box may have 12ft and 16 ft but Big Creek has 12'. 14', 16', 18', 20'.
