I'm doing this update but stand by everything I said in my earlier one. Gotta be honest here, which isn't a necessary qualifier because I am always very honest with my reviews, but the only thing holding me back from 5 stars before was a personnel issue. Let me be clear, it was so much the individuals as it was the lack of staffing, just not enough people on the floor & in the departments, and there were some minor attitude issues but not anymore.
In Collierville, like in many areas, there's a Home Depot and Lowe's located close together and I've tried then both. I totally prefer Home Depot for a lot of reasons and that's true for this location as well as the same scenario in my other favorite HD in Foley, AL where they're actually across the street from one another.
This store has been the source for my complete kitchen renovation as well as the total renovation of both of my bathrooms. I've bought lots of lawn and landscaping materials and tools, lighting, flooring and more over the years since they first opened. Overall they are one of the best stocked locations of the dozen plus Home Depots that I've shopped.
HERE IS A STORY THAT SAYS 5 STARS:
Last week I sat down with Jeff in flooring department, you know where that desk is where you can sit and have a consultation, because I need hardwood & carpet for a couple rooms. Jeff was very professional, knowledgeable and personable, in fact we discovered that his wife & my wife know each other because they work the overnight shift at St. Jude & even did Yoga classes together at the Y. So Jeff gives us several samples, makes sure we make the best choices to get a deep discount on the wood flooring AND get free installation on the carpeting. He scheduled measuring at our home on the following Monday. We got a call from HD central the next day who went over everything from top to bottom and had all the information & choices that we had made in the store & was ready to take my order. However the lady informed me that she could not apply our 15% military discount, which is registered to our accounts, on her system software & said that she would send everything to our local store. First thing the next morning I got a call from Jeff who indeed went through everything again & verified the materials, labor, discounts, etc. & placed the order over the phone. Note: there was a 6 mos./no interest deal that had expired 2 days before but he arranged to make sure our order was made eligible and now we are waiting for the installers to show up on Monday. This is the kind of expertise, professionalism, attention to detail and customer that makes Home Depot my first choice every time. I don't need to wait for the job completion for this review because, as I said, I've had several major projects done on several different dates & every one has gone very smoothly, from start to finish, so expect nothing less now.
I was going to update my review because of everything that I wrote above but I was prompted to do it today because of Gavin. He's a young man who asked if he could help me today when I was trying to decide on a hand truck. I really like this foldable Milwaukee model but the price seemed too low. The tag above it said $29 & the description matched but there were others nearby that weren't nearly as nice for more. He scanned the one I wanted and it came up $59, hmmm. He said "this is marked $29 so we will honor the price if you want to buy it". He then offered to walk all the way across the store to the register with me to make sure that it would be handled correctly. That's exactly what happened, and since this very young man had already thanked me for my service he also made sure that I received my 15% military discount, a really good deal. I'm going to send a note to the local manager and to Home Depot corporate commending Gavin because he he's a very impressive young man that deserves it.
Bottom line: Collierville's Home Depot is clean, well stocked, well lighted and organized and the people are outstanding. This location checks all the boxes for management and is firing on all cylinders!! read more
