Lowe's installation changes...

[spr1975wshs]

Hey folks, as of today, Lowe's no longer does large interior projects such as kitchen or bath remodels.

They are going back to the older style, small installations like replacing a toilet, faucet, sink, bath vanity, water heater...

Too low a clean revenue stream and too many bad jobs ending in lawsuits across the country.

We are trying to get them to install an exterior French door - no luck! Can't get them to return calls. Very frustrating, esp since they say the warranty on the door is voided if we use anyone else.

Probably for the best, their sub contractors are terrible.

The better ones (my brother has been a well regarded remodeling and building contractor for 25 years) wouldn't touch a "Lowes job" with a 10 foot pole.

I wonder if the Amazon home services will fill the void.

A big part of that, installations are no longer controlled at store level, but by a call center in Indiana.

...or BJ's.

I have seen that over the years.

Try Dean Lumber in Hollywood or Esperanza. They sell and install it as well.

Dean Lumber installed our kitchen. No complaints at all.

Small jobs with supervision and QA through someone at the store is the only way to fix this mess. I never had them do anything big, for the two small jobs I had them do they are at a 50% failure rate. Took them three re-dos until the blinds were made from the fabric that was ordered. The third time he showed up, the installer put them up crooked.

I am sure Bezos will. Starting out as an out of house bookstore to a major socialist who treats employees like slaves; that are revolting. We got an Amazon gift card last Xmas (year ago) and regifted it. Will never shop at Amazon, again. Bezos is another power hungry maniac.

Uber cabinets will be the replacement.

Nothing but good things to say about Dean Lumber, they did a front door and countertops for me and did an excellent job on both.
