Home Improvements near West Columbia, SC

“Awesome spot. Pro tip: They (the employees of lowes on August Highway in West columbia) always insist they are out of merchandise. Even though their website says they are in stock, they claim the website is wrong.... HERES THE TIP, tell them to look up. Right above where your product should be, but is out, there is the remaining stock. Match the numbers for your product with the numbers on the cardboard boxes up top and there you go. They ALWAYS have the product. The employees may not know where to remaining stock is, so help them out. Works every time. Also the employees practically explode with joy knowing they have the right product for their customers and now they can get a lift a lower you merchandise. I've come to the conclusion that this absolutely makes the employees day and leads to an over all awesome experience for both the customers and employees. Happy shopping ”

“Good heavens, why do I love this place so much!? Maybe because I've been reading lots of books lately about farming and living off the land: (Little Britches, Grapes of Wrath, Little House on the Prairie, Anne of Green Gables, etc.) I walk in and feel like I'm connecting myself to my heritage. It's a great place.”

“Simply amazing store! Everything you could need from tools to work clothes, boots to baby chickens, animal feed to snacks and toys. I'm always pleased when I'm here because I always find something new! The store is clean, easy access for people with disabilities and the workers here are very knowledgeable and friendly. Tammy was a great help!”

“This place is packed with people. I had to drive around the parking lot for 5 minutes to find a place to park than walk a long way. They had what i needed and the people were nice.”

“12 years ago my husband & I found this store when we were building our home. We outfitted almost the entire interior with quality items that are still serving us well (cabinets, entire bathroom & kitchen, wood flooring, tile & slate). Over the weekend when choosing where to go for an add on bathroom in the basement we decided to go back, since we had such good luck there so many years ago. Andrew was very accommodating and efficient in helping us with our purchases & even helped out with changing out an item (oops, our fault not theirs) after the sale. Same manager was there that helped us out 12 yrs ago! Great to see a business still going strong & doing right by customers consistently. Side note..... did I mention the prices are very reasonable ?”

“Big shout out to my girl MelG. She and Hope got me set up with the NEW!? pro account and entered me in the pro week raffle. It’s not just this week. These ladies are helping people, they’re helping people on the daily with all their home improvement needs. Much love ladies do your thing”

“Hi I recently placed a in store order that is $1,623 , the service person that helped me said I could get pro status and discounts for being a pro. When she submitted for the pro status it was rejected. I was told the amount to be a pro is $1,500 so I bought a nail gun to make sure I was more than that amount. I spend a lot of money at Home Depot each year so I should qualify just from past purchases. Please explain why I was rejected. Thanks SteveMartin”

“I would like to give a shout out to an exceptional employee at the Lowe’s in Harbison in Columbia, SC. His name is Trey and he works in the garden center. He is ALWAYS helpful and seems to love working there. He is also very knowledgeable!!”

“They got everything and are convenient, most of the employees don't know much about anything. If you have a question, try to find an employee with a camo vest. These are vets, if they don't know, they will find out”

“If you’ve ever tackled a weekend project in the Columbia area, there’s a good chance your journey started, or ended, at Home Depot on Harbison Boulevard. This location has become a reliable anchor for homeowners, contractors, and ambitious DIYers navigating one of the Midlands’ busiest retail corridors.

The Harbison Home Depot sits in an area that has long been a hub of growth and commerce. What was once largely wooded land near the Broad River transformed in the late 20th century into one of Columbia’s most active shopping districts. In many ways, this store reflects that evolution: practical, well-established, and built to support a growing community that’s constantly fixing, building, and improving.

Inside, the store is spacious, clean, and well-organized for a box store of its size. Lumber, plumbing, electrical, and garden sections are clearly laid out, making it easy to move from idea to materials without wandering aimlessly. Inventory is typically strong, and the shelves stay well-stocked even during peak seasons, whether it’s hurricane prep, spring planting, or that sudden “I can finish this today” home repair.

What really elevates this Home Depot is the staff. Associates are approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely willing to help you solve problems, not just point down an aisle and disappear. Whether you’re figuring out the right size breaker, matching paint from a mystery sample, or debating between mulch options, there’s usually someone nearby who knows their stuff and doesn’t mind taking a minute to explain it.

The garden center is another highlight, especially for locals who know how quickly Midlands weather can swing. Plants are well cared for, seasonal selections rotate regularly, and it’s a solid stop for both serious landscapers and casual backyard gardeners.

Practical touches make the experience smoother: easy parking, efficient checkout, and a location that’s convenient to I-26 and surrounding neighborhoods. It’s the kind of store where you can run in for one item—and yes, occasionally leave with five—but still feel like the trip was productive.

In short, Home Depot Harbison does exactly what a great box store should do: provide the tools, materials, and guidance people need to keep homes and businesses moving forward. It’s dependable, well-run, and firmly rooted in the fabric of the Harbison community, just like the projects it helps bring to life.”

“Great service. Wanted to buy display of some lamps they had on clearance but the Associate wasnt sure if I could. She went above and beyond. Checking other stores and online for me. Thank you.... really wanted those lamps tho?”

“I had an outstanding experience at Lowe’s and wanted to share my appreciation.
I stopped in to purchase fence panels and was blown away by the amazing price. The team in the lawn department—Joel, Tyson, Trip, and Sergio—went above and beyond to help me. They assisted with selecting the best panels, even offering a couple at a reduced price due to slight damage, which I truly appreciated. On top of that, they helped load everything onto my trailer quickly and carefully. Their professionalism and willingness to help made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
I also brought my dog, Echo, with me, and he absolutely loved the visit. He enjoyed picking out his own toy and even got a snack—a slice of pizza—from Ms. Connie. The attention and “pampered paw” treatment he received throughout the store made the experience even more special.
Thank you to everyone who helped and made our visit more than enjoyable. It’s customer service like this that keeps us coming back!”
