The Home Depot

My recent experience was ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. The men were overly willing to help but lacking the knowledge; while the woman in flooring who could actually help me, could not be bothered with ordering the supplies I wanted/​needed. Went to Lowe’s instead and they had what I needed in stock.

This Home Depot is small and kinda has a dingy feel but I have to say, the employees are so helpful. This location gets an extra star for customer service. It really seemed like every employee loved their job.

This Home Depot is tiny, at least compared to any other chain hardware store I’ve been to. Recently I went looking for some casters for a project. I was delighted to see they had what I was looking for considering that many of the caster bins were empty and stock was low. I wouldn’t use this as my go-​to place for hardware at all, but any port in a storm I guess. I’d rather take the extra drive out to Metairie and visit the full sized hardware stores.

How can they take up a ½ acre and still not have what I need? Due to proximity I find myself going to this particular Home Depot for «run of the mill hardware needs». However, they have very little when it comes to common hardware needs. In fact, I asked an attendant where I certain item was located or if they had it, and he said «you need to go to a hardware store”-YOU are a hardware store!!! Amazingly frustrating experience every time I go. If you have the time and gas money – go somewhere else.

Maria and Cory and the floor staff were extremely kind and helpful. They gave my daughter and me their time and expertise. The entire staff were visible, inside and outside the store. I live out of state and this is the best Home Depot I’ve been to!

It’s not a full-​scale home depot, but it is certainly better than the standard neighborhood hardware store. The employees are always very helpful and generally pleasant.
Yes, there are day laborers out front. For those reviewers that are scared of the workers looking for jobs, grow up, stop being xenophobic, and be glad you don’t live in Alabama where those people are considered criminals.

This place is small! Even though all the employees are helpful, I have learned to only go here for the bare bones items.
There are lots of day laborers that stand around at the entrance. I try and park as close to the front as possible, even if I have to circle around a few times. Their milling around, staring me down in my car — it really creeps me out.

Maybe it was because I needed something pretty simple, maybe it was because I went at 11 AM on a Tuesday. This store, while not huge, is how all retail stores should run in NOLA. After parking in their ample lot, I walked in and an employee pointed me right where I needed to go to get the AC filters I came in for.
It’s definitely not the huge Home Depot of the DC suburbs that I’m used to, more of a neighborhood location. Best part: in & out in less than 8 minutes.

As far as Home Depots are concerned, this location gets a slightly above average rating. Compared to most other Home Depots I’ve visited, this is the smallest location I’ve ever seen. Perhaps there were space constraints in occupying an existing structure instead of building a new store.
In fact, the lumber department is not even inside the store. To purchase any lumber, you need to physically go to a separate lot located behind the store where there is a small «parking lot styled attendant booth» with a Home Depot cashier there to ring you up.
I will say that the employees there are extrememly helpful and nice. The best thing about this store is it’s location. If you live in Mid City, Lakeview or the City Park area, you don’t have to go to Metairie to shop at a Home Depot.

The customer service folks here are super friendly. I am glad that this option is available, but they usually let me down when I am in need. If you have the time to drive out to the suburbs, it’s probably worth the aggravation, because you will only be aggravated that they don’t have what you want at this location. One time I came here to get some Miracle Grow potting soil and I thought, ‘there is NO WAY that they won’t have the dirt I need’, but guess what, they didn’t and I had to drive to ‘another home improvement store’ to get what I needed.

This Home Depot never, ever, evvvvvver has what I’m looking for; whether it’s a vacuum or simply a paint stick, whatever it is that I go there specifically to buy, they don’t have it. Other Home Depots might carry the particular, very specific item I’m looking to purchase, just not THIS Home Depot. It’s frustrating.
They are good for getting keys made, so I can generally count on them for that. They also sell a ton of cleaning supplies, and most other things that you’d expect Home Depot to have. Except vacuums. And paint sticks.

It’s not as bad as the other review said it is. The selection has gotten better and the staff is pretty friendly. The only thing is that it does look pretty ghetto outside with the tall fence. But it’s the closest place to Lakeview.

This is one of the terrible Home Depots I have ever been to. It is located on Carrolton next to Rouses. A torn up street (that has been torn up and closed since Katrina) separates the stores. Do not accidentally turn into this unpaved mud pit or you may not get out.
The Home Depot store is surrounded by a 14 food hurricane fence. Teams of Mexican laborers hang out in the parking lot everyday. Someone provides them with water coolers while they wait for jobs. The resulting aura is that of a prison.
The store itself is not well stocked or managed. Very few workers are present inside to help you out. Usually it doesn’t matter if you find someone to help because the store is poorly stocked and has often run out of things I need… common things, not obscure items.
The plant section is pretty terrible and is located in the parking lot. So you have to exit the store through the front door just to get to the plants – not the side door as is the usual setup for Home Depot.
If you are in the area and need something, this could be an okay option. It’s not a good option and I’d recommend driving out to Clearview Home Depot if you really want to have a more enjoyable shopping experience.
