The Home Depot

This is a toy store for grown ups. And there is nothing wrong with that.

We had to buy a new hot water heater. Steve helped us and even told us where and how to dispose of the old one. We were back a couple of days later, and he helped us find a part for a toilet repair. Super nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Great job!!! Thanks.

Best service people! Unfamiliar layout from the Depot we usually shop, so we zig zagged a lot through the store. An associate saw us and personally walked us to each aisle we needed. That doesn’t happen anywhere.
Not one person in that store looked gloomy — all smiling and happy to be there.

Better than most Home Depot’s I’ve been in. Helpful and plentiful staff. Good rental department. Have had good success with appliance department!

The staff here are awesome. So many of them want to help you because they enjoy it. When you don’t feel like you are bothering someone when you ask a question, it is great. I recommend shopping here because of this. We have also rented some equipment from them. They are helpful and offer suggestions that makes the job quicker.

I love this Home Depot! It is my favorite so far. The employees are all knowledgeable and friendly. The store is clean and organized. The items are reasonable and they have most of what I’m looking for, a good 98% of the time.
If you’re looking for something in Hardware the associates are awesome! Same with Garden. If you’re looking for something in either department, you’re sure to find it.
The service department is great as well. They are friendly and willing to help, no matter what. The cashiers are great as well. They are always smiling and happy to greet customers. They always ask if I found everything I needed and if I didn’t, they make sure to help and to get someone who is always willing to help me find that item. Like I said, I very rarely leave here without the items I came to the store to find.
A+ to this Home Depot! They are always great.

We had three «hurricane, low e» windows installed in our master bedroom which is on the east side of the house. No longer is the room 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the rest of the house.
The installers did a very good job and we hope to do our entire house in the future with these same windows. Extremely satisfied. Pricey, yes, but in this case you definitely get what you pay for. They gave an excellent limited lifetime guarantee and you can also charge it without interest for two years.

Typical Home Depot but OMG on the garden prices. A small citrus tree which will probably die of one of the billion parasites here is $ 39.00. In California they are about half that. I would have thought Florida prices would be a bit better than in California. The prices for their Plumeria were outrageous as well. Maybe things are just more expensive at Home Depot because it’s Punta Gorda. I can’t really offer an alternative store at this point but we have picked up off our neighbor’s curbs one banana tree and a hibiscus for free.

Always friendly and knowledgeable staff, price matching, and a good selection. Thanks for always making it a positive shopping experience.

This is a really nice store with fair prices and a good selection. However, they simply have too many employees. They will ‘hound’ you from the time you walk through the door until the time you leave. Each one you pass will want to know ‘how you’re doing’ and if you need assistance. If you pick up an item to inspect it, they will hover around you. If you decide to read a label, they will interrupt you, as if understanding written English is something only they are lucky enough to have mastered.
I do have a few suggestions that will make your shopping experience less exasperating:
1. Walk briskly and avoid eye contact with employees. Never smile.
2. Pick up an item (preferably lightweight but easy to see) and carry it with you until you find what you’re looking for.
3. If you can avoid a group of employees by taking a different route, do so.
4. If you see an item that interests you, try to curb your enthusiasm.
5. If you speak more than one language, DON’T speak English.
6. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that the self-​checkout means ‘self’…it never does. Some employee will almost always want to show you how to use it.
My advice to management would be to STOP HIRING PEOPLE! Also, it would be a nice idea to have a bucket of bright orange stickers at the entrance. Place a sign telling people who don’t want to be harassed, to put the sticker on their shirt in a prominent place… then, instruct your employees to leave these people alone!
EDIT: I have continued to shop at this store very regularly. I truly believe that management took my review seriously because shopping there has become a far more enjoyable experience. I applaud their efforts to improve and I look forward to doing more business with them. I hope you will, as well.

One of the great things about Home Depot, is that you can go through the store and find your own items and not have to worry about having to wait for help. What happens, though, when you have a question? Usually you have to guess due to the fact that you cannot find anyone that knows what they are talking about.
One of the few perks of being located in a retirement community is that those same retired people get bored and decide to take on retail jobs to pass the time — much to the chagrin of teens. This helps you and me since they usually gravitate to what they know or to areas that were similar to their past careers. Need electrical help and you will find you are talking to a retired electrician. Have a plumbing question and you will find you are talking to a plumber.
Definitely a rare Home Depot.
