The Home Depot

I came to this particular Home Depot because the one in Saratoga no longer carries wood stove supplies. This one does, but the supplies — what were left of them — were pretty picked over. That’s somewhat understandable, since this was during a cold spell after a few snowstorms. And they obviously knew that. For example what few Duraflame creosote-​removing fireplace logs were selling at significantly over the price at which you can get them on their website — supply and demand, huh?
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this store, but for some gut-​reason, it didn’t feel up to par to me. The paint department was wide open, but that also meant it did not have as much paint in stock as some others I’ve seen. The major appliance section was also smaller. It felt like this particular store had a larger portion of the store devoted to building supplies.
If you are driving north on U.S. 9 to get here, avoid entering the plaza to get to this store anyplace earlier than at the traffic light. I did enter earlier, and in the dark, combined with poor parking lot lighting, combined with 10 food high snow banks, I felt like a ball in a Pachinko machine going all over the place trying to navigate to the actual parking spaces in front of the Home Depot. Of course that’s more of an issue for the plaza owners and not this particular store, but it’s something of which to be aware.

It’s a little ridiculous how much my boyfriend and I love this store. We always look forward to going to this Home Depot because everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful! You walk in the store and they immediately approach you. I have been in so many Home Depots that you have to practically beg for help and this one is the complete opposite. They pay attention to you so much that the second time we were in, they were inquiring about our home reno project and wanted to know how it was going. I highly recommend this store! Great deals, great service and an EXCELLENT staff.

Home Depot as a company gets 2 thumbs up from me as a simple «do it yourself» type guy. They have great hours, the staff is very friendly, and they will cut your wood down to more transportable sizes if you do not own a truck. They take returns on practically everything, have trucks you can rent, and tools you can rent as well.
This Home Depot does a fine job and I have bought many tools, garden supplies, auto supplies, wood, and tons of other stuff from here. Great staff who know what they are talking about. I’m going there right now to pick up a new reciprocating saw. Woohoo!
