Review from Carrie P.
I have had work done from this home depot on more than on occassion, and it has always been a positive experience.
I have used their installation services on the following:
1. Carpet
2. New Exterior doors and storm doors
I have also dealt with Home Depot on getting quotes for laminate flooring installations, as well as a new back deck. I have to save for those ones.... :)
I will continue to utilize Home Depot`s installation department, simply because they are happy and eager to do smaller jobs, that are tough for me to find general contractors to do at a reasonable price. If I was doing a full-fledged renovation, then I suppose I would have a lot of options. However, in having smaller jobs done in the $500 - $2000 range, Home Depot continues to win my business!Comment from Stephanie H. of The Home Depot 5/31/2011

They have a good selection of tools and painting needs. Most of the time the staff are very friendly and informative but now and then they have no clue. The garden centre has plenty of options as far as soil and other basic needs but sunnyside has a far better selection for live plants. They have tools you can rent such as a power auger. The lumber selection is wide and they are very helpful with your needs when picking up supplies.

This Home Depot's greatest attraction for me is having a covered drive through; so having to buy 6 foot planks and shelving for a housing project attracted me to this location.
Home Depot also has the convenience of huge carts that are very easy to manoeuvre when moving these very large long items. It is however an extremely massive store so the advantage of having a complete inventory of course is of great convenience when shopping for your project needs but having to find that particular screw or chain type however can be tedious.
Thankfully there is tons of staff around who are willing to point you in the right direction but as Chad W my fellow yelper states they don't usually stick around.
I was quite happy with my shopping at this Home Depot until I needed my planks sawed in half to fit into my SUV and after waiting 30 minutes in the cutting department, one passerby staff kindly informed me that the saws were not working and the man cutting my planks was not in that day. So basically I wasted an hour, shopping and waiting only to find I couldn't actually bring my product home. Haven't they learned the basics of a sign, it is simply some cardboard and a marker, I mean the store seems to carry everything else including the kitchen sink.
This was a bit annoying for me and I had to take my business down the way to Rona. But I would return, besides this isolated incident I usually do leave with everything I need. -

Home Depot is enormous. I've never been to a Home Depot where I didn't have an excruciating time finding what I needed. The place supplies furnishing and hardware for home renovations or small labour contracts.
The staff here are really friendly, but one problem I've experienced is the inclination for staff to sneak off the moment you ask them for help. And yes, once you get one cornered so that they have no choice but to render you aid, they are quite friendly indeed.
Fortunately, the inexpensive prices here straight across the board weigh the consumer scales in Home Depot's favour, and for this reason alone, I will probably always purchase most of my hardware and home accessories from Home Depot. -

Home Depot has declined markedly as an organization. I actually prefer RONA, but it is twice as far from my house, so I wind up going to the Home Depot on McCleod often. I also spend considerable time at my home in the U.S. and I shop at Lowe's, which is no more than 500 yards from the Home Depot, so I can't wait for Lowe's to come to Calgary (announced for 2010).
The Home Depot in Calgary started putting a greeter just inside the door to answer questions, which is good, but beyond that the help is dreadful. I recently bought two 4'x8' plywood panels that I needed sawn in half lengthwise. After scouring the floor for somebody, I actually found two employees who led me back to the cutting area. They lifted the first panel onto the vertical panel saw and the second guy walked away, leaving me as the helper for the guy operating the saw for the rest of the job. I would have thought their liability insurance would not have allowed this.
I pushed the lumber trolley towards the front of the store, stopping a couple of times to look at other stuff, and I passed the same two guys chatting with a mutual acquaintance. It didn't appear that the guy who walked off had anything else to do, as he wasn't doing a darn thing.
Besides this recent experience, I find that Home Depots are usually dirty and dusty, not at all pleasant like RONA or Lowe's. Maybe it's the orange color scheme I don't like, I'm not sure. The lumber in Home Depot is really crappy. I pick through 12-15 pieces just to find three that are useable. Whenever I have a viable option, I will avoid Home Depot both in Canada and in the U.S.
