Today I took my grandson to the Downey Home Depot to pick out a Gas BBQ grill for his house, The sales guy named TINO was very helpful and he did a great job answering all our question and we walked out with a very nice NEXTEL BBQ grill. Thanks so much Tino for all you help and you have a great attitude and your a good man, your great and thanks for being a good salesman. read more

I give a 2 because I still like the sales and offers they have. I was quoted for a fridge at another Home Depot, that was farther away from my house than the one that's like, 2 blocks away from me. I decided to just buy the fridge closer to me. For the convenience, but after looking at fridges for 30 minutes and three people sitting at a desk. Nobody approached me or even asked me for help. So instead of going to ask them, it's okay, I'll just go back to the original Home depot that had actually salesman who were walking the floor and asking people if they can help and spend the $3000 I originally had planned for. read more

The Home Depot - 3 employees at a desk - Hardware Stores Near Me - Downey, California

I've had to come here twice in the past two weeks and every time I come everyone is so helpful! When I came a couple weeks ago, I had to return some ceiling fans I had bought online and the gentleman that helped me out in returns was a delight! I don't remember his name tho :( he was an older gentleman with white hair, I think his name was John. He was AWESOME! And today.. we needed some new air filters for our HVAC system, staff is always helpful when we come here even when we did self check out! read more

I drove 45 minutes to the store. I was in a hurry as the drive took much longer than expected, and, although the gates said that the garden center opens at 7 AM, the gates were locked, and nobody would respond as I called to employees to inquire about when the gates would open. I finally reached someone in the store who told me that they don't open until 8 AM but they have a sign that says 7 AM. I was out of time to go through the main doors and walk all the way around to garden so I had to leave and will sit in more traffic without what I needed. I won't be back. read more

At first i went to the Whittier location and they didn't want to help me because the products that I wanted was sold out on the shelf but it showed they had 66 more pieces on the pallet, they were dragging the time to get it down and they never did get it, they wasted my 40 minutes of waiting which should of just been 15-20 minutes like they promised. The Whittier location rather have their products on the pallet than putting it out on the floor to sell, is a hassle for them to stock it up. So i yelp another location and saw that the Downey location has 57 in store, drove over there in 20 minutes and I knew exactly where it was because, on their website, when you're looking for a specific item, it shows you which isle is in. I walked through the garden area into the store and found it really quickly, got 2 bottles and went to pay at the garden center and left, it took no more than 5 minutes. The cashier was really helpful and the cool things about the garden area is that by the entrance, there's a fan that they sell, it pumps water in it and it blows out mist. At first I thought it was sprinkling cause I didn't see the fan by the entrance lol. Even though I didn't need any help, this location was stacked with products and it was easy enough o find. I also try to park by the garden area, is not so crowded. If I needed anything again, I would come to this location again, is close to my work in Santa Fe Springs. And I tried the Mosquitos Beater, it works really well, I took some to my work and sprayed it around my desk area and I haven't seen any mosquitoes flying around yet. Working in an open warehouse, there's always lots of mosquitoes just eating us alive lol. read more

11/22/2025 8:42 am I recently had a very disappointing experience at Home Depot. I went in to purchase 2 gift cards both with separate debit cards first purchase went fine and for my second purchase my card was declined , and despite having sufficient funds,I was denied assistance. Your self checkout associate was extremely rude and told me i was no longer able to purchase since my card declined.I felt there was a lack of understanding and support, leading me to believe unconscious bias played a role in how I was treated. The customer service was poor, and I left feeling undervalued as a customer, and as a current manager in retail myself I felt embarrassed that the store lacked basic culture , values and customer empathy . I hope Home Depot addresses these issues to ensure a more equitable experience for everyone. read more

Vivian in tool rental missed her true calling as a crosswalk guard. She enforces rules so hard she actually stops time. What a tool--and not the useful kind. So sad. Wasted an hour of my life, I'll never get back. She's a stickler. She only knows how to cause problems. I've been shopping at this store for five years. Never had a problem. She finds a technicality and wouldn't process the sale. Even her co-workers agreed with me. She's a true Karen, a very little person, and a troublemaker. read more

Went from work today to purchase an interior door around 2pm. I went to the door section and asked an employee sitting at a desk on his phone for help. I showed him the item (screenshot) from the online store and he barely looked and advised me to the wrong isle. When I questioned him again he still didn't look but just gave me a different isle. He didn't help, he didn't ask to see if I needed any additional help. I found the door on my own and loaded it myself, paid and left. Customer service 1 star. read more

Saved the day. Great service. Walked in at 7:30 Sunday night. Yes I know they close at 8:00pm. Went to isle 49 to find some work lights looked for 25 minutes finally had the bright idea of flagging someone down to help. Yvette looked up the item. Way on the other side of the store in a pallet she said. So I'm thinking I'm going to walk away with no solution to my lighting problem. She said how many do you need. She found Sebastian they closed down an isle and brought a lift found the pallet and problem solved. They went above and beyond. By the time I walked out it was 8:15pm. Smiles on all team members faces. Great work by this Home Depot. read more

Extremely frustrating waiting over 20 minutes on hold to check and see a product availability and I'm still on hold waiting to speak to someone as I write this review. I don't know who the manager of this location is but I can assure you, "helping customers" is not their main focus. Thank you and have a good day. read more

I have usually found great and very helpful staff at this Home Depot. However, my last experience was terrible. Neighbor told me to go to Cerritos but did not listen. I went to order Blinds. The team has no idea what they are doing (except one, who I cannot remember their name). I paid $50 to get measured for blinds, and the company showed me the measurements went immediately over to HD. I was able to find the measurements on my HD account, but the team could not locate them at all. I even had the print out and allegedly that was not acceptable. They did call the vendor to get the measurements but apparently, it was in a different format (eventhough the data needed was there). The staff had no idea how to put the order in the system and had to call the vendor multiple times. The staff could not comprehend, even after drawing multiple pictures; that I had very large windows where each window would have to have 2 shades but 1 valance to cover 1 window. I left to return later in the evening so they could figure it out. 2 team members refused to asssit me. After waiting approximately 1 hour, I requested a manager since I had been waiting for an 1 hour with no update. I hear numerous pages over on the overheard requesting calls to the department. No manager ever appeared. Finally someone assisted me and they stated the mesurments by the vendor were incorrect. Since the vendor was closed at 8pm, they would call the next day, confirm the measurements and return my call. That was approximately a week ago. Now my home project and contractors will be delayed. I now missed the sale which was 50% costing my approximately $2400 more for the blinds (oviously I will not be purchasing these blinds from HD) and it appears I am out the $50 for the measurments. As mentioned, my previous experience as HD has been pretty decent. However, I cannot remember such a horrendous level of customer service that I will have to find another solution than returning to HD - Downey. read more

03/02/26 Josue is the best employee that you can have working at your store. He is actually the only one who works. He is knowledgeable about each and every product in store. He helps you and takes you to the aisle not like other employees that just tell you what aisle it is in. He is extremely nice. He listens to what you tell him and helps you find what you need. He should be employee of each and every day. Outstanding human being. Thank you for all your help. Marisol Alonso read more

Gio did an amazing job helping me and show me where the item i needed was at. Showed me very great customer service!

This is only for the garden center! For some reason every time I go usually the women working are very rude and have a nasty attitude and don't even hand you the receipt. Not recommended I rather drive a little more for better service since I spend quite a bit on gardening every couple of weeks and I would like to not be treated badly whenever I go visit. I stopped going not recommended at all now that I avoid it read more

I had the pleasure of having David help me load some bags of fertilizer about a week ago after helping an older lady with her items. Yesterday while collecting carts he saw I was looking for one and brought one over while stacking the rest for customers. I think he's what we call "working hard behind the scenes" . I have noticed a positive shift in the Downey location. read more

Poor customer service, rude staff, and "new" items were obviously pre-owned after opening them.

I come to this Home Depot often due to convenience. I try to look for my own things even if I have a question as some workers there don't have the best attitudes or slack in customer service skills but today I had a question and I was fortunate enough to have Crystal from The Loss and Prevention department help me out. She was the best. She actually asked me if I needed help and got on her phone quickly to make a call and get a person in charge to help me out. She didn't know what aisle we were in so she ran to go check the aisle number and in less than 3 minutes she had the person in charge ready to help me out. Upper Management needs to give Crystal a raise! A worker who truly wants to help out and understands helping the customer is what their service is all about deserves to be taken care of. Take a few dollars away from those who hate their job and give it to Crystal!!!! Stay on top of your game Crystal and Thank you for the fast response. Great effort. read more

Few weeks ago this store installed video cameras by the check out registers. One would wonder, for what purpose? Here is my take: when they capture your image and your credit card at the same time, the information they sell is much more valuable since any user who have face recondition system, can now have access to you finances, so basically you are walking with your wallet open. this is a new level of privacy evasion and I despise Home Depot for doing that. if I need to visit HD, I use the contractors register where they do not have the video camera or I ask a cashier to check me out while I stand at the side of the register where the camera cannot capture my image. read more

Rude customer service and lazy!! The male worker with neck tattoos was putting on his work apron and had 15 customers waiting in the self check out line. Didn't give direction for the customers to move to each register opened. A female worker finally came around. The male worker kept fumbling with the apron and never helped anyone!! read more

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE WITH DELIVERIES! This store in Downey actually ASSUMES no one works and can be home all day long for several days while they break up a seemingly simple order into 3 orders and then KEEP PUSHING THE DATES FURTHER AND FURTHER OUT. Best part? They keep saying that late deliveries are the fault of their 3rd party delivery company. Rrrrriiiiight! Then DON'T USE THEM ANYMORE!!! Do NOT order from this store if you have a job to fulfill with a deadline. They will make you lose deposits, deliver when they want, lie and say they delivered when they haven't, CANCEL your order!!! And Managers??? Yeah. They don't pick up and when they do, calls "mysteriously" dropped. You have a serious project??? GO TO LOWE'S!!!!! read more

Lots of chaos and workers confusing policy and prices. Key copying price was misquoted and the charge up at the register was like 7 bucks-it's not the master key to the matrix, right? Gloves were priced around 7, but at the register $15... I was told on the phone lockers pick up hours were store hours-actually they are outside and 24 hours. I felt like I entered it's a small world only to find out inside it was a bad maze at Knott's scary farm that was neverending. Pros were the store was extremely clean and orderly on the racks. Staff were nice too. Weekly meetings to get everyone on the same page-and troubleshooting managers to sift through all the conflicting info, signs, employees need to be aware of the actuality. I gave up on the gloves just paid double as pushing my wheelchair around was exhausting. Their books at tax time must seem like April fool's day. The neglect and confusion was sinful. read more

In Home Depot purchased some product from Home Depot in Pico Rivera. I didn't use it all and came to return at Downey and they only wanted to give me a penny for a gallon of roofing tar. they said they don't stock this in their store even though I bought at Home Depot. I need to return it to the store that I bought it at in Pico Rivera store. The manager was no help. I am going to have to reroute my day to make a trip to home depot in Pico Rivera..There is always issues at Downey not sure why.... read more

Bad customer service from Cashiers and Garden Supervisor with glasses. Completely ignored when asking for help. Aswell as gave attitude and laughed at other customers complaining about the poor service a family reported to the coach from Cashiers. I think a coach shouldn't be laughing and trying to fit in with his coworkers if the action is obviously not appropriate. read more

Had the pleasure of a horrible, lazy cashier named Kim in the pro checkout line today. She sits on her phone scrolling while customers wait in line. Then when she finally came to help us she was unhelpful and condescending. We had trouble with a brand new credit card and she was as LITTLE help as humanly possible. If you are going to be in customer service, you might want to learn to serve customers better. Rude. read more

EASY MONEY, DAYDREAMER: The big question is could Elizabeth care any less about her job when it comes to whether or not the customer found what they needed? Not unless she flatlined and even then it would be questionable. FIRST TRY: I brought a product up to customer service to ask if the employee, Elizabeth, could find out about the current stock/quantity of the same item with different dimensions. She flat out said no. WAIT... WHAT?!?! SECOND EFFORT: I asked her again and she said maybe the cashiers could and promoted the impression that she couldn't (or wouldn't) without actually saying it in those precise terms. THIRD ATTEMPT: I asked her again and added into the equation an additional inquiry. I asked if she could get online and see the inventory (at home I checked. It said there were 4 of the desired items in stock and yet I found none in the store. I dare not ask Elizabeth about that... baby steps with her). RIDING CROP REQUIRED: It did take my insisting that she could check the inventory to get her motivated enough to log on (my phone was almost dead at this point). So, she gets to the Home Depot home page, you know the place she said she couldn't get to the first two times I asked... ATTENTION DEFICIT: Next, I told her three times the dimensions that I sought. She couldn't focus and she never really looked at the sticker of the item... so she goes off searching for the wrong item. Not wanting to be over her shoulder but, also not wanting to be in the store all night, her actions forced me to say to her "You mistyped the brand and the name of the item in the search field. With my help she gets it right after selecting two improper brands. DO NOTE: The brand name is ON THE STICKER of the item IN HER HAND (you truly can't make this up). Well, I guide her to the proper item on the screen then she scolds me for crossing the yellow line (I wanted to scold her for making me do her job due to her all too obvious inability to properly define customer service as intended by the Home Depot. NEWSFLASH: Customers do not wake up excited to head to Home Depot each day to be Elizabeth's training wheels. During the yellow line rule fracturing she reminded me of Eugene Levy's character in the movie Serendipity....Annoying. YELLOW LINE NOTE: I am fully and properly, both mouth and nose, masked and wearing a shield at the time of our interactions. FUN WITH COWORKERS: At some point during the inventory search, while she could not focus, she busts out laughing. I am startled and concerned for her mental well-being at this point. Then, I realized that she is fine. She had just been paying attention to some of her coworkers who were making jokes about something. This explains why she wasn't paying attention to what I was saying and truly highlighted her inability to properly search for the stickered item next to her forearm. To thebnestbof my knowledge wasting customer's time is not a job title here, is it? MANAGEMENT NOTATION: I am baffled when I think how this person made it to the position that she is in. For the consideration of any and all Home Depot Downey customers, you really need to consider finding her strong suit because giving negative Homer pins doesnt exist... yet. END GAME: I have money. I WANT TO BE A HOME DEPOT CUSTOMER but, how can I if I begin to think of Elizabeth as the future of DHD customer service? Perhaps as part of my stand against this type of failed employee behavior/conduct I will post my Pico Rivera Lowes receipts within my collection of Downey Home Depot Yelp photos. I honestly dont know what else to do to convey my adamancy. PS: What sucks is I have met a member of the store's management team and that person is hands down the best manager I have ever met in any of the Home Depots I have shopped in and that spans more than 20 stores in 7 different states. read more

Disgusting pigeon infestation that's been there for a long time. I've mentioned this to staff on multiple occasions and they do nothing. You can tell by the amount of feces that it's been a problem for some time. Diseases associated with pigeon droppings include Cryptococcosis, Histoplasmosis and Psittacosis. You can become infected with these diseases by breathing in the dust that is created when cleaning droppings. read more
