I want to give another huge shout- out to a different Home Depot, this time to the amazing people in the Paint Department at Home Depot in Albany, New York at 161 Washington Ave! Their "can-do" attitude is truly inspiring—they tackled every challenge with enthusiasm and confidence. The team’s talent and professionalism are second to none. Especially their precise color matching. They genuinely care about their customers, and their commitment to excellence made our visit a pleasure! Thank you for going above and beyond—you’ve earned a loyal customers!

I have spent thousands of dollars in this store within a six month period. Today I went in with my wife and toddler to buy some stuff , had a very bad experience from one of the managers named Bianca , a very racial , unfriendly and definitely portraying a nasty attitude towards my family, especially my toddler. She lacked basic management ability, understanding and skills. She very racial and rude, and lack ed basic customer service skills. The owner, Mr. Bernie Mac , needs to address her attitude. Needless to say , I left and went to Lowes and was treated well by their staff. I will not spend a penny more at this HD.

This was my first time in a Home Depot where I was actually trying to complete a home improvement project while starting from scratch and with minimal knowledge on the subject. Robert and Jordache in the paint department were so incredibly kind and helpful while helping me pick out paint, spackle, and primer for my living room and bathroom. The two of them went above and beyond during my shopping experience and made sure I had all the products necessary to successfully get the job done. They even were able to recommend a better brand of paint than what I had been told at other stores and a bunch of products that would work well with it. In addition to that, I was purchasing a bunch of supplies and Robert offered to assist with carrying everything or grabbing a cart if needed. I will definitely be returning to this location for any other projects I plan on completing. One of the best experiences I have had in a Home Depot yet!!!

Ì came in for a pressure washer and Leslie in garden showed me where they were. I asked her about a medicine cabinet on display but not on the shelf. She told me it wasn't her usual department and she was getting ready to go on break but she would find out for me, and come find me. And she did! She then went to the med.cab. section with me, found tools and a ladder, and removed the display model from the wall as it was the last one. I kept saying do you want to get someone else so you can go on break? She said, no, I'm going to see this through. It was no easy feat getting that cabinet down!!! She never gave up. Fabulous fabulous fabulous customer service. She deserves the highest praise!

The store has plenty of help but the help ignores customers. Ask for help and you get, its not my department. Today I need 3 concrete blocks. Im 68 years old. The ground pallets were empty. Couldnt reach the second shelf without standing on the flat cart I was putting blocks on. Two employees walked right by me visiting with each other, they looked right at me and kept walking. I moved 16 blocks by myself, climbing up and down on the cart. I guess no management? Maybe home Depot doesnt care. Idk update: years later nothing has changed.

Always great for those home improvement or commercial projects However, I am a big buyer of Rigid Toold, and they recently stopped servicing the tools here. Now I need to jump through ridiculous hoops to get the warranty I paid 10s of thousands of dollars for with the over 1350 Rigid tools I own for my business. I really get frustrated when a larger company like Home Depot sells a product with a warranty and then changes the process, seemingly to intentionally make it overly difficult to honor their commitments. From now on, Home Depot gets a 1 star, as a scammer should deserve. F-

Went to pick up an online order and waited 15 minutes for the loading team to get to the front, was not greeted or aknowledged in the slightest until the douchebag Raphael asked if the item was mine after following me to my car. Proceeded to carry a bad attitude about the load cussing to his coworker as if its not his job to load customer items lol.

Go there a lot any they usually have what I need. But if you want information dont ask the younger people there as they have no knowledge of their inventory out side of searching for it on a phone or computer app. When I asked a girl at the customer service for the location of stove pipe she had no idea. Couldnt find it on the computer and said they didnt carry it. When I pressed her and believed that they had it it she stared me down slammed her hands on the counter and started to call me profane names. The manager when called Had little to say. She should have been taken off the desk or even fired. Perhaps relocated to stocking shelves to learn their inventory better. Customers should not be treated that way !! Especially when I spend hundreds of dollars there. Thank you to the customer who directed me to the right location. Took them less than a minute on their phone. It was hard to find as it only occupied half an isle. These people need to spend more time on the floor before working customer service. Guess its time to go back to lowes

Found a used Wacker Nueson plate tamp for sale at this store on 06/06/22. Was told it could not be sold to me because of a missing throttle spring (simple fix) and needed repairs before sale. Staff would not let me buy as is, pay in total then pick up later, or leave a deposit. Left my name and number to call when it was repaired so I could make the purchase. Just called to check on repairs and found it was sold on 06/07/22, as is. Thanks guys.....

So I had a dilemma with my new appliance and tried to do an exchange the next day. Everyone pretty much gave me the middle finger and said I m out of luck. After checking with the North Greenbush Home Depot location for better customer service, I tried the Washington Ave Ext site. I explained the situation to the manager and this time the customer to manager interaction was a complete 360 from the last location. He listened, acknowledged my concerns and came up with a solution. His name is Jeff, a customer experience manager and the way he was ready to solve this issue, he might as well have been my lawyer for the day. He knew my rights as a customer and was ready to get on the phone and speak with the manufacturer himself. THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF CUSTOMER SERVICE! After a lengthy hold, we finally got the approval for my exchange. He made sure to get a name and also checked the computer for customer log updates on the manufacturer s end. Not to be dramatic, but I was nearly in tears. It was a very long and stressful day, but to end it on that note was truly a victory. This is now my new Home Depot location that I will happily drive 20 mins to for all my purchases as a new homeowner. Thank you Jeff!

Ive been buying things at this home depot for many years. For the most part, they have a good selection of typical hardware store parts, and their custom windows,doors,counters, etc, are reasonably decent, otherwise this would have been a 1-star review. Do not use their installation services. Today I had a scheduled dishwasher delivery and installation to replace an old dishwasher. The installer barely spoke English and his supervisor/dispatcher informed me that they could not install the dishwasher because the tile does not go all the way back underneath the dishwasher. Im not sure why that makes any difference, and it didnt bother the last folks who installed the current dishwasher. I just looked it up and the previous dishwasher was delivered and installed by Lowes, so I guess Im off to Lowes to buy a dishwasher since they have competent installers. Thanks to Home Depot for wasting my time and their own.

Ordered an item that was in stock, they cancelled my order(likely due to the fact it was an order pick up at 8:30 pm and a very large box) but charged me immediately. They will not hold the item for me(until I get refunded) and insist my only option is to by another while waiting for my refund. Not to mention I went into the store and within 5 minutes found the item that I wanted(5 of them total in stock) Their reason for canceling the order was noted as Cannot find item, item out of stock Customer service was horrible, manager (Mike) would not even come out to the floor to discuss the matter with me/possible resolution.
