Hi Jason, we are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review. We really appreciate you being a customer and helping to share the word about us.
Couldn't find anything I needed at Home Depot or anyone to help me. Realized San Lorenzo Lumber was right across the street so I ran over. My experience there was the opposite in every way. Friendly greeter at the door pointed me in the right directly. Knowledgeable sales person was there and led me to exactly what I needed. Next time I'll shop San Lorenzo first and skip Home Despot!
Thank you for your kind words, Mardi! We're grateful for your feedback. It's our pleasure to provide the best possible service to our customers, and we're glad that this commitment was reflected in your visit. We look forward to the next time we're able to serve you. Have a great day!
The guys in the tool section are great. The yard sucks. Three people didn’t bother to help me load some siding after seeing I couldn’t do it alone, and phoned in someone else to do it. No one ever came or decided to just help while my truck load of OSB got rained on and I walked around the yard looking for help. So I drove away.
We’re so sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience with our staff, Joey. We have shared your feedback with our team in order to improve in these areas. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back again, and we do encourage you to contact our Customer Engagement Team at 844-487-8625 or [email protected] to discuss your experience in more detail.
