Lowe's is my first stop for all of my home projects. I am currently redoing door. Lowe's has knowledgeable employees that offer advice to the DIYs as well as a stable of contractors to hire out the big jobs. Returns are handled seamlessly, who doesn't grab the wrong part? Their garden section is great for Spring planting. They have competatively priced appliances. 5% off with Lowe's credit card is also nice. Having those large items delivered is a convenience. Their best asset is the expertise of the staff. I frequently change mind on an original concept based on their input. Highly recommended
