We bought shades from Lowe's for the lani and had Lowe's install them. The installer did a great job. Like anything not all their contractors do a poor job.

Did they get both? Both are required

Supporting the local contractors who charge more, but are mostly local and rely on referrals, etc, is good. No different than going to check out lanes versus self check out. . the sleazes undercut to get the jobs from HD and Lowes, and then ghost the job. .

I did a microwave replacement through Lowes last month, and they were done in 15 minutes, they didn't follow through on leaving the microwave in the garage and i called Lowes, and they returned it the next day. .

but not major installs nor custom work. . get local contractors for that with quotes, and references, and licenses

We are getting a quote from Lowes for this. Mind sharing the name of the installer?

Lowes now runs all of their installations out of corporate in NC. I was having problems even getting a call from the installer of my gutter, so I went to the store to complain, and that is what I was told, and that is why it has become a cluster. They were helpful getting corporate on the line, and I cancelled the service and got my money back.

And then found a local company that did a great job for 1/3 the price.

I will get the quote from Lowes for the shades, but I plan to get at least one more just to level set.

All Big Box Stores installers are mostly sub-par from my experience. Although the man who installed my dishwasher that i bought at Lowes was excellent. I got lucky.

This appeared in my newsfeed. Somehow Lowes installed a washing machine incorrectly and was not responsive in resolving the issue.
