We have been on a home improvement kick ever since early April, and now we are coming to the final phase of it all- I hope. Our porch lights have been showing clear signs of wear and tear for a while so I came here to find a couple of lights that would be compatible. Their lighting section is huge and I found something close to what we already have installed. While I was here I also picked-up some bolts for the closet shelves in our master bedroom. I also purchased a small quart of touch-up paint for our baseboards that were part of the areas that we didn't get painted recently. Employees were in plain sight and appeared to be ready to help, although I didn't need any help today. read more

The customer service at this Lowe's location was exceptional. I needed a lot of paint for a home project, and the gentleman who helped us in the paint section, Brandon, was so nice and incredibly helpful in explaining what we would need and other things to consider when taking on such a big painting project! read more

We needed a new toilet, and I knew I needed an associate to go over some of the options and features so I could better decide on which brand and model would suit our home best. I should mention I first visited a competitor establishment the night prior and I couldn't find anybody to help me in 20 minutes so I left. So I decided to try Lowe's instead. I'm very glad I did. I went straight to the bathroom section, and a young man with dark curly hair named Ayman greeted me right away and asked if I needed help. I asked him if he knew anything about toilets, and he said he knew a fair amount and would try to help me. Indeed he did! He answered all of my questions, and help me find the right toilet we need in a manner of minutes. Bonus: it was on sale and much less than I thought I'd have to shell out! Once I decided on the product, Ayman promptly located a flatbed cart and loaded it on for me. I was in and out with my purchase in less than 15 minutes. Thank you, Ayman for your exceptional customer service, your product knowledge, and your kind, friendly demeanor. You ensured a perfect, frustration-free purchasing experience! (Lowe's, take note: you've got yourself a great staff member here!) read more

Lowe's Kitchen Remodel Nightmare - 7 Months of Frustration (Fairfax, VA) In April 2025, we decided to upgrade our kitchen and visited the Lowe's store in Fairfax, VA. What began as a promising project quickly turned into a seven-month ordeal of incompetence, delays, and poor communication. The Process (In Theory): Initial Measurements - Inaccurate from the start. Design Center Consultation - Referred to Lowe's "design experts." Contract Signing - The only smooth step was swiping our credit card. Reality: Project Start: Mid-April 2025 Completion: November 15, 2025 (crown molding finally installed) Key Failures: StageIssueMeasurementsMultiple errors led to incorrect cabinet ordersOrder SubmissionWrong sizes, missing pieces, delayed deliveriesDesign CenterInexperienced staff, zero accountabilityCustomer ServiceUnresponsive, dismissive, no follow-throughManagementStore manager worse than assistant managers The only "easy" part? Paying. Final Warning: If you're planning a kitchen remodel, avoid Lowe's Fairfax at all costs. The stress, wasted time, and endless corrections are not worth any discount. Contact me if you'd like the full timeline and documentation before making the same mistake. read more

Poor customer service to only deliver part of an order and tell the customer they will be called when the rest come in and then turn around to mark the order complete. The main customer service line wont help and the store customer service refuse to help. Now my room is going to be mismatched since Lowes refuses to fill my complete order of blinds or even refund the singular blind. Its "only" $90. read more

My fiance and I ordered pickup of blinds and were only delivered part of our order (2/3 blinds). The manager said that only part of the order was delivered and that they would call us when the last part was delivered. This never happened. They will not refund me or send a replacement. Now my windows are mismatched since I do not trust Lowes to place another order with them. Really poor service. read more

Two times in a row I ordered for delivery for supposedly in stock items and parts of my order was just cancelled. First time I got the "free" battery...and was charged for it...had to drive to store to return. Lumber order had portion cancelled without warning ( I did get 10% discount after complaining)....however most of the plywood delivered had been out in elements and has water damage and mold.....totally unsatisfactory. read more

I purchased a double wall oven on October 15. It was to be delivered on November 10th. I went to Lowe's today to pick up an accessory for that oven. I decided to check on the status of the oven, the order was canceled. No one told me. Thanksgiving is in 3 weeks and I won't have an oven. The customer service at the store was the worst that I've ever seen. They said it happens, sorry about your bad luck. They didn't give a $&@$8 that they screwed us. I will never, ever in my life shop at Lowe's. Do yourself a favor and go to Home Depot or Bray & Scarf! read more

Cladiya or Kladiya, the older Hispanic lady with blonde hair, is super lazy and weird. She told me to cancel an order I had already shopped for just because she didn't know how to check it out or how the store she works at even operates. After scanning my payment method, she kept saying my order had already been picked up, which made no sense and is literally impossible since she charged the payment method herself. When I asked her to call a manager to help check me out, she refused at first and got rude, saying she doesn't have to know everything. I already knew she didn't have the brain cells for it--that's exactly why I asked for someone who does. Now Kladiya, I don't know if you're just lazy or wanted the items for yourself, but snapping at someone because you don't know how to do your job, and then refusing to get help from someone who does, is beyond unprofessional. Maybe don't work somewhere that actually requires you to think and solve basic issues if you're not up for it. read more

I've been waiting for more than 45 minutes to pay for my purchase. I requested assistance from 3 people to no avail. This is not a good start for my project. Update: When Stephen finally arrived, service was fast - I was out of there in 5 minutes. Stephen was personable, knowledgeable, and professional. I may have been a little hangry. Andrew originally helped me start my project. He was patient, answering all my questions. Although there was a hiccup with the quote, he handled it with professionalism. The standard Lowe's itemization needs work; the breakdown of the numbers wasn't clear, but again, Andrew answered all my questions. Sterling the contractor handled my home measurement. He arrived within the agreed upon time-frame. The measurements he gathered were on-point; very professional. Will update upon installation. read more

Lowe's Home Improvement - Besides the fact it can not go thru the cycle normally it was delivered with a piece of tape covering the top. - Hardware Stores Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

It usually is a decent place. This is definitely a good sized store, and it's my opinion they are better organized than Home Depot. As for prices they are competitive, but usually economically I do better with the orange place. This last week have found fly traps that have been effective, as well as other household supplies. Their selection of lumber is impressive, and they remind me of 84 stores from back in the day. It's a clean store, and I like finding things easier. While I like hiking and getting steps in, I'm not really a fan of shopping. This saves time. That alone is important. The employees are certainly friendly and helpful enough. Please do be careful parking here, as it's not the best lot in the area. read more

Buyers beware of Lowe's very short return policy (48 hours) for some categories of products. We bought an electric pressure washer on 5/28/25. The box was never opened. On the 31st we decided to buy the next larger more powerful electric pressure washer. We took the first purchase back to the store on 6/4/25 and were told the item was one that had to be returned within 48 hours of purchase. There was no indication from the checkout associate or on the receipt at the time of purchase of the unusually short return window. It is posted on the Lowe's website - but honestly - how many people go to the website to check on return policies? Transparency upfront please!! read more

Ordered and paid for 45 single poinsetias on December 1 st to be picked up December 14 th Called and asked if they could be picked up the morning of December 13 th and was told no problem. Arrived at 9AM to pick up flowers. After behind the counter discusion betwee two emoloyees , one being Adam, and my being an invalid was told to sit in my car and they would bring them out. After sitting in my car for 45 minutes saw Adam taking a pick up to another vehicle called out to him and he did come to my vehicle. I was told that they were trying to reach me which is bizarre since they knew I was waiting in my vehicle and calling my home made no sense. I was told they do not have them and they are on a truck which would be in that night. My sister went on the next day December 15th and was told no truck came in so they were not there. Since I needed them for a senior citizen event on the 16 th . I was given credit. Which did not cover the frustration and disappoint of those who were to receive the poinsetia. read more

In these strange pandemic times, we aren't leaving our houses much. However, since we are spending more time in our homes than ever before -- especially my family -- I'm trying to tackle more home improvement projects. We've had nice weather the last couple of weeks so I've had the windows open. I wanted to keep my deck door open but I didn't have a screen door and didn't want the bees and bugs to fly into my kitchen. I measured my door and took to the good ole internet and did a quick google search for what I was looking for. A screen door from Lowe's was the first image that came up. I clicked on the door and read the specifications, reviews and it seemed perfect and in my price range. I didn't want to go and search for the door in the store and it not be there so I ordered it online and chose to pick up at the store. After 24 hours, Lowe's sent me an email saying it was ready for pick up. I went the next afternoon and I was amazed how easy the process was from start to finish. I went to the customer service desk, gave my order number and they went to the back to get it. Within a couple of minutes, I had my door and I was on my way. Once I got home, I was able to read the instructions and install my door with one tool. Easy-Peazy! My only regret is that I didn't buy this door sooner. read more

There is no management in the store. Appeared that Norma, so called Manager, forbidding her associates to call managers per request.

They never answer the phone. They sub out their service work to other companies and if there are issues, Lowes will not help you and expect you to resolve with these unscrupulous third parties. Also, if you purchase something online and it is not installed for whatever reason, they force you to go into the store to get a credit for the item that was not installed. Any issues have to be resolved by going in store to speak to a manager. The worst customer support experience by far. read more

Awful service.... I'm so over there never being anyone to help when I want to go and spend my money here. I have gone at different times, different days, etc. It's the worst... If you know exactly what you need and know it's in stock and you don't have to have anyone order it... fine. Otherwise find another place because you will get tired of waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, and more waiting. But the paint selection is great... that's the one star. read more

On Monday, March 29 I ordered online a gas oven/range for about $1500. In part I chose this because it showed that the oven was available for delivery in 3 days: on Thursday, April 1. The evening before delivery was confirmed between 8:00 am and Noon. So I took off from work. After 11 am I received a call from the delivery service that there was a delay, but they'd be at my home by 5:00 pm. So, I took the rest of the day off. By 7:00 pm that evening we had heard nothing else. Calls to the delivery service were hung-up on in the automated system, regardless of what number button was pushed. The next day I called Lowe's and after being on hold for 40 minutes, twice (once I was disconnected), (I can share the screen shots from both 40 minute holds) I was told that I was never set for delivery on April 1, but rather for Monday, April 5, despite the emails indicating April 1 and the delivery service. On Sunday, April 4 I received a call from Lowe's that my oven would NOT be delivered on Monday, April 5, but that the best estimate was MAY 12... 6 weeks after the original date. Note that I made my purchase, and my credit card was billed on March 29, all based on the promise of a delivery in 3 days... not 75 days, or frankly I would NOT have made the purchase or would have looked for a different model. On the call April 4 call, the customer service rep assured me that he'd have someone from appliances call me to see if there was an available, similar model. That call was to come yesterday, April 5. No one called. In fact (again, I have screen shots and I'm happy to share) I called the appliance department at my neighborhood Lowe's (at the suggestion of customer service) more than a dozen times over a week and the phone I was connected to NEVER picked up a single time. At one point I called the store's customer service desk, and suggested that no one was picking up in appliances. They immediately transferred my to appliances with the phone ringing 20 minutes, and again no one picked up. I tried those dozen+ calls morning, mid day and evening. In short, I feel deceived about delivery. Customer service has been abysmal and my advice to anyone right now is to never, ever believe anything Lowe's tells you as all evidence is that only one thing is done in a timely way: billing your credit card. Everything else was simply a failure in every sense of the word. read more

The Jermantown location is the most incompetent retail location I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with of any location of any chain store. First, I ordered a shed from them for installation/assembly. They sold it to me then were CLUELESS as to the entire process and it seemed like they had never sold a shed before in their collective lives. Having not sufficiently learned my lesson about their incompetence, I ordered a grill and patio furniture online from Lowe's. Much to my horror, this order was "fulfilled' by this same location. They gave me a delivery date and the day of that supposed delivery, they simply never showed up. After an hour on hold with customer service, they told me one of my items hadn't been assembled and they forgot to tell me. This was only discovered after an hour wasted on the phone with their 1-800 number and the third party delivery company they contract with to make deliveries. This store MIGHT be okay if you are simply buying an item but it is a DISASTER if you have to deal with them on sheds or delivery items. Come to think of it, maybe their management are spies paid by Home Depot to destroy the place? That's the ONLY explanation for the awfulness of this location's delivery process. read more

5/14/21 Just when I thought things were good at home, there is a problem with the toilet. Gotta love being a homeowner. The water is constantly running and the shut off lever isn't shutting off the water. It's an old toilet so maybe the washer needs replacing. Couldn't get any help from the Homedepot. Figured I would go to a store where your not just building a home, but a way of life. I found what I needed without the assistance of a staff member. After testing out the product on the part I brought from home. I might just get the first problem fixed. Thanks to Lowe's, finding what I needed easily means the world to me. I will most likely get most of my stuff from here now. Even if it's a little farther out. Yes, I can do this, but I got now help from Homedepot. read more

This Lowe's seems better organized and more clean compared to Lowe's Alexandria (VA). We came here to return something we bought at the Alexandria store. The return counter was easy to find and there were 2 employees there. They wore face masks and observed social distancing (with marks on the floor). The return process was quick. The air conditioning inside the store was efficient (it was 100F outside today). We were greeted and acknowledged by staff walking by in the main store as well as in the garden center. Overall I'd say this store is far better and friendlier than the Alexandria store. More pleasant to shop here. read more

I purchased a washer in April, and the sale went great. However, the washer is leaking 5 months in, and trying to get service is impossible!! I'm so furious at this moment because I have been on the phone for over 40 minutes trying to get an appt. set, and was transferred 3 times and then put on terminal hold. I bought the extended warranty for repairs, etc. but the washer is still under mfg. warranty so I can't use that. You cannot get anyone to talk to you or set an appt. They want you to go online and do everything yourself!! Lowes used to be very good at customer service, but NOT ANY MORE!!! read more

I came in here today to pick-up some general household cleaning supplies, but I ended up leaving with much more than that. The electrical section caught my attention more than anything in the store, and I found some really cool solar powered porch lights. The ones I have on the house now are all weathered and tarnished, and these lights seemed much more modern and efficient, so I figured why not! I kept walking around and honestly gave some serious thought to replacing the kitchen faucet. I ultimately rejected that idea, because I am by no !rand that skilled at plumbing, and I didn't want to get myself stuck and then need to have to call in a professional. I couldn't locate an Associate either to give me guidance. Door knobs however were something that I felt confident in replacing on my own. Thankfully there was someone in the hardware section because I did have a small question about the door size requirements. They have plenty of nice tools in stock and someday I will need to get back over here and pick-up a new power saw! read more

I recently picked up a grill at this Lowe's for a Father's Day gift. The grill was already pre-assembled and on display out front of the store, so i decided to purchase one! It was toooo easy! The customer service I received that day was wonderful. I walked right up to the customer service desk, told the female worker which grill i wanted and that i needed a tank of propane. She rung me up, told me where to pick up the propane, and had another worker help retrieve my grill! It took no more than 15 minutes. That's my kind of shopping! Quick, easy, and affordable! Thank you Lowe's! Btw.... the grill is amazing and my dad seems like an extreme grill master now! read more

If you like being over charged on every item in the store, if you like a total lack of customer service, and if you like to get hassled when you make a return WITH A RECEIPT, then Lowes Hardware is you place. I have foolishly shopped this chain far too often in many different states with equally bad results. And don't expect any help from a manager. They are just as bad, if not worse, than the associates.
