The staff is always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Before I buy anywhere else I go here first. They are locally owned and operated, which makes me feel even better.

I had called earlier, and the woman was very helpful on the telephone. When I arrived, she assisted me with my purchase, as did a man, she and even carried the umbrella all the way to my car and put it in the back seat of my car, which was parked in one of the several handicapped parking spaces located just behind Ace Hardware. All in all my experience was totally seemless.

I figured I'd go to the big box store (not Home Depot as I'm boycotting) but got diverted to Ace because of flooding. Checked them out and figured I'd do a price check by heading to the other place. Lo and behold, Ace was comparable in price and had a better selection. This wasn't the first time I went to Ace either. They beat the price for a garbage disposal by $50 just a week previous. This location is well stocked and has friendly help. They also have a bbq supply place attached that has some cool stuff. I've even bought my stocking stuffers here in the past. I highly, highly recommend this location. Parking is available in the back for those who are afraid of trying to find a spot. Great option for your hardware needs.

The other big thing about here is all of their staff is very skilled and knowledgeable and have been in the business obviously for years, so there's no second-guessing But more along the line is they are 100% committed to helping you. They don't try to hard sell you on anything they give you options and let you make the decision which I appreciate.

I recently had the pleasure of working with people in the appliance department and the door department. Both were fantastic and patient with my inability to decide on what I was buying. For the appliances specifically, the nice man (can't remember his name) spent about an hour with me as we scrapped together Black Friday deals to get me a handful of appliances at a very good price. I couldn't be happier than I was that evening after spending a few thousand bucks.

Auntie tried to grow strawberries... Home Depot said "not today"…read more Let Auntie put you on real quick... If you're trying to grow your own food (because grocery prices are doing THE MOST), The Home Depot is a solid place to start--but keep your receipt, okay? Now listen... I grabbed strawberry roots (red & white) and a berry plant, fully committed to my "grow my own fruit" era. Bought compost, followed directions, even went to YouTube University like a good student Not gonna lie... Them plants said absolutely nothing back to me. No sprouts, no greens... just vibes and dry roots After 3 1/2 weeks, I realized I was out here watering ghosts. BABY... they sold me dead plants. But overall... Here's where they redeemed themselves--returns were EASY. No attitude, no hassle. I brought everything back (yes, I dug up every last root like a crime scene investigation ‍), showed my receipt, and got my full refund. They even reminded me I have 90 days if anything goes left. Pro tip: open a free business account so your receipts stay on file--thank me later for that one too. "Do yourself a favor and try it first... and you can thank me later "

CHRISTMAS TREE LOT REVIEW only…read more I had the pleasure of purchasing a tree with my family from the Tree Lot at Home Depot El Cajon. This review is going to be short just because it's a seasonal thing and people want to hurry and find a good spot for a tree... so here we go. The employees were pretty cheerful and were in good holiday spirits. Walking in your greeted with Christmas music and the fresh smell of pine trees ( my favorite ) your full average 6-8 foot tree is going to run anywhere from 60-100$ depending on the type of tree you want. Seems a lot but this is definitely the average place when going somewhere like this. They will trim the bottom of the tree and any part on the tree you may want removed. They have holiday plants and this year my daughter was in love with the FREE little Charlie Brown trees haha cutest things ever. They have any accessories you may need for the tree and even some holiday decorations. Thank You Home Depot Tree Lot of El Cajon
