Jacob (reddish bearded guy?) in the paint dept. needs to be promoted - or given a raise, or both. Today we brought a large piece of chipped paint that peeled from our house to get a match paint color. The first guy put the piece in the matching machine and made our paint. It was too dark. So then he tried again - this time it didn't match at all. His solution - "oh well - that the best we can do." I asked if the machine was broken - we've never had this problem before. The first guy just shrugged and said it wasn't gonna be perfect. It wasn't even close! He basically said - take it or leave it. So I asked for a manager - first guy just wasn't capable of problem solving. Jacob heard and came over, took a look, knew exactly how much white to add to the first can - and boom...perfect match. Home Depot - if you lose your "Jacob", you're stuck with "the first guy" who makes $100 worth of bad paint that will eventually end up on the discount shelf. And you also lose customers. Jacob needs to train, he needs to be promoted, he needs to be a decision maker. We're tired of the first guy. The "take it or leave it"guy. The shrugging guy. Please retrain him to be like Jacob. Please hire more Jacobs. read more

Miguel O. helped me during a recent Home Depot visit, and I felt compelled to leave a review because he was truly exceptional. I've been a regular Home Depot customer since we bought our home about a year and a half ago, and while I've always found the staff helpful, Miguel stands out as the most helpful employee I've ever worked with. I'm currently in the middle of my largest DIY project to date: adding cabinet boxes and shelving to all of our existing kitchen cabinets. The project required purchasing several large sheets of plywood, understanding the differences between them, and figuring out the most efficient and accurate way to have everything cut. Miguel supported me through every step of the process. He helped me select the right materials, handled a significant amount of the board cutting, and when he needed to step away to assist other customers, he made sure I was seamlessly taken care of by Trevor (who was great too!) so I was never left unsure of what to do next. Beyond his technical knowledge, Miguel brought such a positive, optimistic attitude to the experience. He was patient, thorough, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. Employees like Miguel are the reason I keep coming back to this Home Depot. He absolutely deserves recognition and a raise. read more

I had an excellent experience with new kitchen and bathroom countertops with Yen Pester in kitchen/bathroom design and the contractor Valley Tile Install Services in January 2026. I went into the store on January 2nd with measurements and told Yen what I was looking for. She quickly calculated an estimate for quartz countertops that was very reasonable priced. I purchased new kitchen and bathroom sinks while I was in the store. Valley Tile Install reached out to me the next week to schedule the template appointment on January 15th, and I got everything installed by an awesome team (led by Danny Aguilera) on January 30th. Next up: carpet installation! read more

I had the best experience at Home Depot in San Rafael today. Usually when I come into Home Depot, I have a really hard time finding people to help me and give me accurate information. Today I walked in looking for a small piece of flooring, The person in the department let me know that didn't have the size that I wanted but he went out of his way to find me an affordable alternative. He was thorough, quick and friendly throughout the whole process. If you are looking for flooring and are hesitant to go to Home Depot for it, I would suggest going down to speak with Michael in the flooring department. He's the best! read more

Title: Incomplete delivery, avoidable delay, and a lesson for customers I ordered plants and potting mix for a small landscaping project and paid for delivery so I wouldn't need to visit the store. On the delivery date, the driver arrived without the potting mix. He confirmed it had not been loaded onto the truck and documented this at the time. This left me with live plants that could not be planted as intended. Anyone who gardens will understand that delays like this are not trivial--plants don't sit indefinitely without risk. When I contacted customer support, I was initially told that the delivery fee could not be refunded because some items had been delivered. That position didn't reflect the fact that the order--and the service I paid for--were incomplete. Only after pushing back was the situation resolved and a refund issued. My takeaway is simple: * The issue itself was straightforward and avoidable * The initial response made it more complicated than it needed to be * If you find yourself in a similar situation, it's worth calmly insisting on a fair outcome--because you may not be offered one initially In the end, the matter was resolved, but it required more effort than it should have for a basic delivery error. Update (in response to Home Depot's reply): Thank you for the response. I clearly stated in the review that the matter had already been resolved with a refund, so this reply doesn't appear to address the situation described. The issue was not the delivery error itself, but how it was initially handled. An item I had paid for was not loaded onto the truck, leaving the delivery incomplete. I was told the missing item could not be delivered later, and at the same time that the delivery fee could not be refunded because other items had been delivered. That combination is difficult to reconcile. This led to an unnecessary back-and-forth before the position was eventually changed and the refund issued. Potential future customers should be aware that getting Home Depot to fulfil their contractual responsibilities can be a long and laborious process. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Home Depot and JW Floor Covering has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing from start to finish. The project began with a faulty installation of LifeProof flooring that lifted and felt uneven. After months of trying to get the issue resolved, replacement flooring was ordered and delivered. However, after six full weeks of those materials sitting in my living room, I was suddenly told that JW Floor Covering would not install the flooring I had chosen and paid for. As of tomorrow, it will be seven weeks with over 60 planks of Home Depot solid wood flooring still stacked in my living room. JW Floor Covering has refused to install what was ordered, will not pick up the material, will not cancel the contract, and instead insists that we choose an entirely different type of flooring--which was never part of our agreement. Throughout this entire process, communication has been terrible. Emails and voicemails have gone unanswered for over a week at a time. The project has dragged on for more than nine months with constant delays, poor coordination, and zero accountability. The workmanship of the initial install was substandard, and the repeated lack of timelines or support has left me feeling completely abandoned as a customer. At this point, I cannot recommend Home Depot's flooring installation services or JW Floor Covering to anyone. The lack of professionalism, follow-through, and customer care has been unacceptable. I will continue to update this review with any progress, or lack thereof. read more

The customer service at Home Depot is the worst. The cashier, Stefan, has the worst attitude. When I asked about being charged regular for flowers where there was a sale sign, he was unwilling to hear me or do anything proactive. He didn't give a damn and just stands there and looks like an idiot. read more

What is the hiring process like here? Literally no one wants to help you. And if you return something, even with a receipt it's like the Spanish Inquisition about what is wrong and why - it's brand new in the package, I have proof of purchase and want my money back. You have people straight shop lifting and zero customer service so sometimes the only reason I am here is to save a few bucks - other than that support your local ACE or a place that actually cares. I really miss that garden and home supply that was on Anderson Ave that closed. I guess it's just about value and customer service is gone at this location. read more

We had the absolute worst experience with Home Depot, to whom we paid $20,000 to update our kitchen. First of all, they offer a 12-month interest-free financing, but the financing begins the day you order, not when the work actually begins. Our work began six months after the order, and it took three months to complete, so the 12-month financing offer is a fraud. Secondly, 10 different contractors were doing the work, and they never lined up, so the work too forever to finish. On top of that, we ordered some of the materials from Home Depot, and they were subpar. The chrome faucets, for example, had discoloration after 3 months. We also had our Home Depot card on autopay, so they charged us the entire amount in the first billing cycle before I realized what was happening. After I fixed that, HD canceled our credit card. The list goes on and on. Never again with HD! read more

We went to Home Depot hoping to buy floor tile. We found the tile department, then tracked down a sales person..who knew nothing about tile. He paged a tile person and we waited and waited. No one responded. After waiting 15 minutes we asked someone else (the first person was long gone) who told us a tile person was on their lunch break and we could wait. We gave up and left to go elsewhere...somewhere that cares about our business. read more

If no stars was an option that's what I would give. There's absolutely no customer service and even though there are people standing around, they're apathetic. One saw us struggling to get to where we needed to go-see the picture, she didn't even budge! Walking past her we heard her say I can't wait for my break. I thought to myself, how did she exert herself that she would need a break? Overall if you shop around the prices can be beat elsewhere or are about the same. So why shop here when your business is not wanted? read more

The Home Depot - Aisle we needed to get to - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - San Rafael, California

I would love to give this a great rating, but it's not a great place. I don't know about management, but they have so many aisles shut all sorts of ladders hanging out without any people oh yeah, and by the way, there are no people to help. So if you wanna go into a danger zone wear a hardhat and get access to just about anything you can think of and then wait in line. This is a spot clearly Home Depot needs some work and this store needs some serious help with the management team. read more

WORST customer service! I hate this Home Depot. Every time I place a curbside pick-up, I've had to wait 30+ minutes for an associate. This isn't the first time either.

HD has a well-crafted culture of incompetence from store manager Brock Grayson on down. They ignore even HD's national customer service line who repeatedly attempted to intercede on our behalf. No respect or courtesy even for high-volume customers. Some success with off-the-shelf purchases, and online, but any involvement with HD special orders involving local contractors is nightmarish. Spent $108,824.34 with HD in 2024 and 2025, but less than $1,000 in 2026. We now shop other retailers rather than face the frustration. read more

Went to the store on 8/2 just before lunch The soil we were looking for was not on a low pallet so I asked the check out girl at the nursery if she could call someone - it was not busy. She said she did not know how to and that she couldn't help me. I went to the main part of the store and spoke to Orlando - he said it was not his section but he would find someone to help. As I went back out to the nursery I saw Justin who was happy to help once he finished assisting an elderly customer. He along with Jonathan got the crane and safely (flags and gates) got the pallet down so we and many other folks could get the soil we needed. Kudos to Jonathan and Justin - two super nice young men and to Orlando for going out of his section to help. I wanted to email the manager personally but could not find a contact. Would like to do this if someone knows the managers name. Thanks read more

If you need a plumbing part, Mehrdad who often can be found in the plumbing aisle at Home Depot in San Rafael is the guy to go to! He is knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. He went above and beyond to find a coupling for my old power-washer. He pulled out a wire brush from his pocket to remove the buildup on the external threads of the coupling, and then found me the perfect connector. And, it worked!! It was the kind of service you would get at your neighborhood hardware store. Also, I wanted to mention the helpful and courteous check out assistants William and Renante. I have lived in Marin for 30 years. The chore of going to Home Depot today turned out to be an unexpectedly pleasant experience. read more

I have to say this the best Home Depot I have ever been in. As soon as you walk in you are greeted. I was helped by Charlie in the electrical section. He helped me so much finding lights that are battery operated. You don't come across great customer service much anymore but here it's amazing and I also want to give a shout out to the checkers they are great to. I will recommend this Home Depot from now on if I could give 100 stars I would read more

Highest compliments to Customer Service Rep Lakeisha who was above and beyond responsive, understanding, patient, friendly, and resourceful. I've had challenging CS experiences shopping at this HD store through the years so I felt so lucky to have the extraordinary help of Ms. Lakeisha. I had a complicated transaction between my debit and credit cards and she handled it all with expediency, compassion, accuracy, positive energy, and professionalism. I've shopped at many HD stores throughout the US and Ms. Lakeisa was simply the very best HD employee I've ever encountered. I hope that I can have all my future HD transactions with her again as she has re-inspired me to remain a loyal HD customer. Thank you Ms. Lakeisa: you are the gold standard in customer service excellence and orientation! read more

The stars are only for the guy that helped me! I was shopping for a new handheld drill with bits! I had no idea what I was looking for and I asked him if he had the same exact thing which I was holding! He then quickly located exactly what I was looking for and gave me options on what to do for a charger and an alternative battery! when it came to the checkout, that's where my expectations fell short! They don't do Apple Pay and they need the physical credit card for me to check out! Definitely an inconvenience especially in California and with mask restrictions lifting up again! I talked to my boss a few minutes ago and he said just come back for the credit card instead of them calling from their line to verify that credit card member and the cardholder themselves! I also proceeded to ask yes I can give them a picture of the credit card number and they didn't take it here I am a few minutes later and now they are taking a credit card number from another customer! wtf! didn't need to talk to their boss or anything? So instead of waiting to get help by the only person at the pro area, I had to look for someone to ask if I can check out after putting an item on a quick hold to get the credit card from my office which is 15 minutes away The Home Depot slogan does not live up to it, get more done! How can you get more done if you have employees just sitting around doing nothing and not proactively checking to see if customers need any assistance? read more

The manager on duty on 3/16/25 refused to bring down a fresh pallet of lumber, despite the fact that the remaining pieces below were covered in mold. She insisted that unsuspecting customers would still purchase it. As a pro member who spends thousands at this store annually, I can't justify risking my clients' health by using mold-contaminated materials. Going forward, I'll be taking my business to local lumber yards instead. read more

This is not a critique of the employees of Home Depot at any location, rather a critique of their phone directories and remote customer support. I've used Home Depot for carpet installation, door installation, patios and all. If you need to get anything done, I HIGHLY advise you to go in to a physical Home Depot, and take the time to wait for a Sales person to help you schedule measurements. I put a request in for measurement on June 15, and got an email on the same day confirming my request. The email also stated a representative would reach out within 72 hours... it's July 14 now so... I called the number in the email. The guy who answered was really helpful, even kept me on the line as he attempted to get me connected to the right person. We connected with my local Home Depot, who then told Jose (representative from Home Depot) he had the wrong number, and then we transferred to a different department. At that time, I got disconnected from Jose (super nice guy, none of this is on him) and sent to another person. They then gave me ANOTHER phone number to call (again, he's just doing his job, not mad at him at all). All of this, just for a less than 5-minute measurement of some doors. I hate leaving bad reviews on Yelp. Don't like being a Karen. If you're in Marin, get all your stuff done by local people. The cost will be offset by way efficiency and knowing your money's not going to a corporation who can't even make a cohesive phone directory. read more

Worst costumer service ever. Waited around for 1 hour for someone to help me with some lumber. Left with no wood just wasted time

Not the best customer service at this Home Depot, but what choice do we have with no Lowe's in Marin, and Osh closed down on Andersen. Ace Hardware doesn't have all the stuff we need in one store. Too bad there's no Friedman's Home Improvement in Marin; they're only located in Sonoma & Mendocino Counties. I'm thankful this location is open during perilous times. They have the Covid-style shopping down with all the social distancing. Despite all the madness going on in our country right now, this store is open everyday, and no looters can get here. That's a good thing about Marin County, kinda hard to get onto this side, unless they swim over the freezing Bay with no Bart. And Marin has its own curfew on a regular day, most businesses close super early. Besides, what are they going to take from Home Depot i.e., tools, building materials, appliances, plants? Most times, I have to find somebody to cut the blinds or simply assist/guide me with something easy like an area rug or light bulbs. I just find it myself or head straight for Jackson's. 'Til next time ~ happy gardening & see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

I am writing to advise Marin County residents to never ever use Home Depot for flooring purchase and installation. Just now, three months after we first ordered Pergo and carpet (2nd floor, condo), we finally got our $6k refund. Here are the Cliff Notes on what happened to us when we tried: 1) The Flooring order didn't include delivery to the 2nd floor so the subcontractor (JW Flooring) showed up multiple times attempting to drop the heavy flooring in our driveway. The fact that this was a 2nd floor job (15 steps upstairs) was discussed throughout the ordering process but then we were told it was impossible. 2) Pergo was finally delivered to our 2nd floor weeks after the intended date but it turned out to be 1/3 incorrect Pergo (someone else's order) and insufficient Pergo for our order (so the installation couldn't begin, they said, for weeks). We tried to text, email, call and drop by the store to correct this but could not get ahold of anyone who could pick up the Pergo (see photo on left side for stack of wrong Pergo flooring). 3) Repeatedly, we tried to communicate with someone but the phone would ring at Home Depot with no one answering it. We tried to talk with someone in Flooring in person to find the employee had gone home sick. And no one in Customer Service (despite being nice) had the power initially to cancel the order, nor to issue the refund. 4) We tried to cancel the order on 8/29/24 but it wasn't confirmed for months, and only a fraction of the refund was made to the card on file. 5) The individual people were extra nice (Michael Law, Naomi, Ashley) but they won't likely last because the infrastructure and staffing are inadequate, and they will need to leave at some point from burnout or discouragement. Sorry to sound negative but Home Depot is seriously awful at Flooring, and we finally got our flooring installed through The Floor Store in San Rafael. Not cheap but you get what you pay for sometimes. Buyer beware. read more

My water heater died. I spent the weekend without hot water because apparently "emergency 24 hour" plumbers aren't actually interested in replacing a hot water heater on the weekend. It was an emergency to me. Wait, one quoted me starting price of $5400 and it would probably cost more sooooo. NO. I went online and saw Home Depot had same day installation if you call before noon. I called after noon, so I scheduled an appointment for the next day. They scheduled me as the first stop at 9 AM which I appreciated because I really don't like long cold showers. Water Heaters Fast got the request from Home Depot. The man called me twice to let me know his eta. Helpful since my husband and I both work from home, it doesn't mean we can just run to the door. Heads up is always appreciated to take headphones off and warn people you're in a video meeting you may have to disconnect. I really appreciate this courtesy. Old water heater removed, new water heater installed. Permit paperwork taken care of: less than an hour and not disruptive to our workday: $2500. It's tough to give my business to small businesses when a corporation like Home Depot can meet my emergency needs at half the price with immediate service. I am pro-small business but not at twice the price and waiting for the water heater to be ordered. What the what?!? Do with this what you will. Adulting 101: spend wisely on your home, it is your greatest investment. Just don't overspend unnecessarily. Thanks Home Depot. read more

I bought a plain whirlpool refrigerator from Home Depot-refrigerator with freezer on top! No digital I didn't want any of that! The people that were picking up the old refrigerator came early and were in a hurry, so I didn't really even have the chance to finish getting it all emptied out before they came and had to rush! The new refrigerator had a dent in it, and Home Depot took care of that issue! When I pulled on the refrigerator door and it was empty it had so much suction that it moved the whole refrigerator! Once I got the new refrigerator and freezer filled up every time I open and close the refrigerator door the freezer door pops open! Sometimes it pops closed again, sometimes it just sits there open! I had a service appointment scheduled for this morning for them to look at the freezer issue, and they had left a message yesterday they were coming between 7 and 11. I got up at 6:30 and was sitting on the couch waiting and I finally called at nine minutes till 11 to see if they were still planning on coming and was told that they had been there. Yep I had a message on my door that they came at 7 AM! There is no way they made much effort to try to get me to come to the door because I'm not deaf and I was sitting on the couch almost the whole time with the exception of getting up a couple of times for a couple of minutes to tend to other things! Home Depot responds to issues relatively quickly. I'll give them that but the logistics of getting the job done is where there's a disconnect! Then I want you to answer a survey telling them if you would shop there again or not you give them the answer and then they don't recognize the answer! Now I won't know for a few days if they're gonna be able to fix my freezer door or not or if I'm gonna need another new refrigerator! Who knows if the next one won't have issues too? read more

When I was standing in the back with measurements for about 10 sets of blinds, this bossy, rude employee comes up to me and puts a blockade up in the aisle so I couldn't check for sizes I needed. Instead of helping me, she said that she needed another employee to get a palette down. About ten minutes later I spotted her busy with her cell phone!

Avoid this store at all cost!!! Absolute fraud behavior! They took my lumber order for a specific delivery date. I got notified that the order is being loaded for delivery. Next notification tells me that they tried to deliver but I wasn't at my house. I was in front of my house all morning, so that can not be true. After over an hour on the phone with Home Depot I learned that they don't even have the lumber, and never tried to deliver anything. Now they are telling me I need to wait a few weeks. Taking my money knowing that they don't have the product, Pretending that they tried to deliver a product that they don't have. That is scamming people to me. read more
