This company is a disaster. Their new build division is atrocious. The service end of new builds is…read moreeven worse. They don't know what they are doing. They hire guys who don't know how to swing a hammer. Their techs smoke cigarettes and weed on the jobsite while on the clock. They leave the property littered with siding nails. I have young children and now they can't play outside because of sharp nails everywhere. Work is still not complete and it's been since January 9th that it should have been completed. Stay away from this company especially any interaction with Rama. Avoid him at all costs!!

The staff were polite and helpful, and it's the only place around for miles. So when I saw some butt-hurt clown had signed up to write his first and only yelp review slagging the shop with an absurd story, I decided to balance things off with a 5 star rating (a more realistic rating is 3 to 3.5). I'm guessing that reviewer wanted to pick through the stacks and got pissed off when he wasn't allowed. No owner of a store would refuse to pick out a single good and straight piece of lumber for a customer purchasing twenty pieces.

My husband and I were doing some spring cleaning and had to get rid of some burned out light bulbs. This Rona location takes them. They have some boxes by the entrance for light bulbs (CFL and fluorescent tubes), batteries and leftover paints. Since you can't throw out these items with your regular garbage, it's handy to know where you can offload them. Since we were already there, we poked around a bit. Rona is the type of store that my husband and my dad like. Me, not so much, haha. Their prices are the same as Home Depot and Lowe's. The store wasn't too busy on a Saturday morning. It gets busier later in the day, especially in the Spring and Summer months. Lots of free parking available. (96)

I'm a fan since they are close to home. I'm a fan of their competitive pricing, and getting 5 free cuts at the shop next to the sheet goods. I'm a fan of their no-nonsense return policy. The staff is friendly and helpful, although some seem to be there in body, and not in spirit - that's actually a good thing, as I don't expect humans to behave as robots.

I ordered an item on-line and went to Lowe's Ogdensburg (2001 Ford Street Extension, Ogdensburg,…read moreNY) after receiving a notice that the item was ready for pick-up. My wife and I did some in-store shopping after getting our pre-ordered items from Lowe's self pick-up area. Staff in the store constantly watched me and my wife and aggressively made their presence known to us. (How often are you in large stores when you can't easily find an employee to help you?) Staff at Lowe's Ogdensburg were hovering around us during the entire time we were in this store. From a distance, one employee would yell, "Can I help you?" A few minutes later this annoying behaviour was repeated by another employee, one after the other, with about a total of five staff members watching us and behaving inappropriately. Soon it was obvious store staff weren't interested in helping us, but rather were watching our every move as we looked at different products in their store. It was more than just annoying; staff was being disruptive to our browsing and making it obvious that they were watching us. A male employee came over to us with a fake smile on his face. Soon as this employee got my attention he aggressively demanded to know where I had parked my car. This male employee asked me the make and colour of my vehicle and where we lived. Next, he demanded to know where I had parked my vehicle while stating, "I want to make sure that it's not parked somewhere it shouldn't be." This employee wouldn't leave until I told him and then he immediately departed the store looking for my car in the parking lot. Lowe's was almost devoid of customers, so I'm sure that finding my vehicle in the parking lot wasn't difficult. A short while later this same male employee comes back and states to me, "It's not your vehicle. I found the car and it doesn't belong to you". When I simply shook my head in disgust he added, "Where it's parked is okay!" He didn't want to believe that this expensive late-modeled car belonged to me. I had chosen about $100.00 worth of products to buy and placed everything on the counter. At the cash register a female employee loudly demanded, "You have to pay for everything." Next this rude female employee demanded I show her my driver's license before she would scan the products I was buying. The cashier defiantly said, "I want to know who you are." This cashier again very loudly stated, "You have to pay for everything." I was wearing shorts with empty pockets and a t-shirt. Also, I wasn't carrying any bags. Just what did she think I was trying to swipe, a wooden toothpick? While I realize theft is a problem in many stores, I don't steal. Why I was targeted for this type of abuse from staff at Lowe's is beyond me. I'm honest and only wanted to buy a few needed items, not sold at their stores in Canada. Given what occurred I won't be ever going back to Lowe's in Ogdensburg or anywhere else in the USA. Lowe's you have now lost a Canadian customer forever.
