I don't normally do reviews on big box retailers like this however, in the last week I have met two…read moreincredible employees here the first one is Charles, who works in the door area and Isabel, who works in the kitchen remodel area They are both incredibly kind patient nice people who actually explained details to you. It's surprising that both of them know all these details however it is a testament to the years. They have spent here at Home Depot, as well as attributing it to their prior lives before coming to Home Depot. These two people are so honest upfront and Home Depot is lucky to have them quite honestly They actually want to help and they don't shy away from helping. Now, if only Home Depot could figure out a better way to handle installers and vendors and the supply chain, this would be a completely win-win situation

I have shopped at this store for most my life, Usually employees are very helpful and sweet. Today…read moreI went to return a few products that my elderly parents had and had not opened/used that they asked me. The manager Bill came over and in front of three young cashiers that he was training said, "what are you trying to do, empty out someone's garage." Without the cashier having even finished scanning the items to see if they could be returned he had made his decision/judgement. I find his comment disinhibited, judgemental, and quite unprofessional. In a day where people can more easily shop from amazon or home depot down the street; the ones that continue to come to your store out of loyalty you lose with nasty managers such as Bill.

Because I was dumb I had to have locks rekeyed, and while it took quite some time, it was done accurately which for locks is the most important. They have always had multiple checkers available and I've almost never seen a line even on weekends! Kudos!

I first went to Menards and then Home Depot and they all said the same thing - we have the screen materials and tool kit but we don't do that type of work. In fact, Menards specifically mentioned Skokie Ace. So I came in and we got what I would consider a fair estimate for 8 of my screens. Now - could I have done this job myself? Of course, and I say that without flinching. The question was, do I sacrifice a Saturday afternoon to replace all of these screens? No, because I could be Yelping. I decided to pay for this work to buy some time. You may disagree but my Cost vs. Benefits analysis led to drop off all of my screens. I opted for aluminum this time and they were all expertly replaced in a matter of days. Excellent customer service by Carlos of Skokie Ace. I received two messages informing me to pick up my screens. In the words of Ace Frehley - your customer service has Shocked Me!!!

I came in needing doors, frames, and molding, and I honestly had no idea where to start. He was extremely patient, kind, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain my options and provide thoughtful suggestions on what would work best for my space, including design ideas and layout recommendations. He truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt confident with my choices. His willingness to help, answer all my questions, and provide excellent guidance made what could have been an overwhelming project feel much easier. This is the kind of customer service that makes a difference. I greatly appreciate his professionalism, patience, and dedication to helping customers .

They have a pretty impressive selection of soil, soil amendments, and fertilizers amongst garden decor and other sundries. If you're here for the first time as I was, it was honestly a little difficult to find the right entrance to get to the garden center/ outdoor entrance. When I had the items I needed, the outdoor registers were all closed at the time, so I had to wind my way back into the store. Not a huge deal, but just a head's up. They had some mini potted herb gardens for sale when I went, but all of the plants looked a little wilted or had seen better days. I can't speak too much on the other areas because I didn't need anything from hardware or cleaning supplies to name a few. However, I do know that they use a ton of mail-in rebates if that's of interest. Check-out was a little confusing: I remember that I had to maneuver a little differently with my cart since their process was different from most other stores. Not terribly difficult and the cashier was friendly about it. There was just no clear way to know how to navigate the register for the first time until you chat with the check-out clerk. Parking is generous but a little busy in an expansive private lot.
