The Lowe's Lakewood have helpful staff, but avoid going busy afternoon if you're looking for…read moresomeone to ask questions because they can be short staffed. The best staff person in this Lowe's location is Lee in Windows department, she helped me get my window coverings (blinds and shades) at reasonable price, during holiday season last year, and she is still there. : ) They have wide variety of window cover brands and Levolor, is great quality w/o breaking your wallet. They also had Lowe's Professional Installation team, which is a 3rd party contract service provided by Seattle Blinds and they came out and did all the measurements prior to consultation and then once my products arrived at home, I just had to schedule them to come out and install them in. All payments done thru Lowe's and it was hassle-free for me. I like that Lowe's provide free consultation and estimates for various home improvements projects such as HVAC, plumbing that can be pricey, you can ask about different products and whether you feel their service price is high/average, it still gives you good starting point what to expect for estimate. Lastly, they have good selection of DIY projects tools here, so after you watch YouTube, you can browse here for tools in person instead of scrolling thru Amazon.

Ace was sold out, Lowe's & Home Depot didn't carry the brand. The guys at Brookedale Lumber are courteous, competent and customer service oriented. The fact they are close to my home is an added bonus for me. So if you need home improvement pieces or wood this is your stop. They are AWESOME!

As soon as I walked in, I asked for the restroom, and it was very clean--it looked brand new. After that, I was helped by Jonathan, who was incredibly helpful.

Bought a glass shower door to replace the old one. When I got home I opened the box and learned the entire frame was missing. Boxed it all up and returned it. After explaining what was missing, was asked for the receipt, then my drivers license again. Strange procedures, but maybe lots of illegal stuff happening. I'm thinking the boxed shower door was ordered by someone, they took the frame, and returned it to Home Depot, who placed it on the shelf for sale. Just a thought. Big waste of time for me.

I needed a new computer as my laptop was beginning to act a little strangely and had become…read moreundependable. After talking to the guys at PC Tech, I decided to have them build a computer for me. I needed tons of RAM and I thought I needed the i7 processor. They walked me through the whole build process, explaining in detail why I didn't need the more expensive i7 and what options were available that met my needs yet was still within my budget. They never talked down to me. My new computer was ready less than a week later and I'm writing this review on it. Set up was so easy, it's embarrassing. I was up and running in minutes. Despite being retired, I still work full time and my computer is my primary tool. I am extremely happy with their work and my new computer. I have worked with computers in one way or another, but mostly as an user, since 1982. I know good service when I see it. I know phonies when I see them. These folks have done other work for me in the six years since I moved back home to Tacoma. I have never been overcharged; their pricing is eminently fair for the work they do. They are fast and efficient. They have even done a couple of quick fixes with no charge. I would highly recommend this business to anyone who needs computer repair or help. These are honest people who offer great service for a fair price, something that is becoming more rare as time progesses.
