How it works
Most Lowe’s Home Improvement Centers offer services for design, consultation and installation. Choose only what you need. Their design and consultation services are mostly free, but be sure to ask before you proceed or incur any costs you were not expecting. Installation costs should be quoted before you commit, giving you peace of mind and the ability to understand your investment before you decide.
Ready to get started? You can schedule your consultation using the forms on the Lowe’s website or call your local store for information. There are in-home consultations available but as with everything, check with your local store to see if this service is provided in your area at this time. Things change quickly so we cannot guarantee all stores offer the consultation or service you are looking for, so call ahead!
What to know – Lowe’s Home Improvements Center
When thinking about home improvement projects, the old real estate adage “location, location, location” comes to mind. Being close to a source for extra paint, replacing a broken tool or light switch, or any other headache that comes up makes being a homeowner a little bit easier. Local hardware stores are great resources for the a la carte needs you have when improving your house, but when you are doing major remodeling or renovations, choose someone close by. This is one huge advantage to Lowe’s home improvement centers, is they are located across the country.
What else to know about Lowe’s Home Improvements Centers? They have great DIY workshops so you can learn all about doing-it-yourself, or still feel open to hiring the install and design teams at Lowe’s to help.

Countertops – kitchen counter tops
Lowe’s has lots of options for kitchen countertops including popular materials such as granite, quartz and more. They offer a free consultation at their store or in-home (check for availability in your area and time). When doing in-store, they ask for preliminary measurements using their free Measure Guide. Take a look at the countertops section of the Lowe’s site for FAQs and to get in touch with your local Lowe’s store for your free kitchen countertop consultation from your Lowe’s home improvements team. Curious which materials are best for you? This is a great question to ask during your consultation! Some countertops allow you to place hot pots and pans directly on them and others are more delicate and would not even take the sweat from a water glass well. Share your use cases for your kitchen and you’ll help your team identify the best materials for your daily use.
Flooring – kitchen flooring, bathroom flooring
Lowe’s has almost anything you can want in flooring from laminate to vinyl, hardwood to tile and even comparison tools to help you choose. Take advantage of their free in-store consultation services to choose the right options for you. Whether you choose to DIY install your flooring or hire Lowe’s to install, find great pricing and service at your local store. Check out more on the flooring service section of the Lowe’s site for payment and contact info to get start.
Home appliances
Finding great appliances to finish your home improvement projects can be very easy. Shop for deals around the holidays such as Labor Day, Memorial Day and even Black Friday for shopping deals. If you aren’t near a holiday time, check your local deals for specials on appliances to save some serious money. Check your local Lowe’s stores for all your appliance needs too and great pricing. With financing options and even some “scratch and dent” deals, you may find a great steal for an amazing price.
Fencing – wood fencing, plastic fencing
According to Home Advisor, the average fence cost in 2020 was anywhere from $1,648 – $4,027 on average. This includes material and installation costs. Adding a fence not only gives you some privacy and distance from your neighbors, but when done right, can add great value and visual appeal to your house. By doing some DIY fence installation, you can save money and also shopping for deals on fencing materials. A wood fence with posts can cost the most while a traditional chain link or PVC fence often reduces costs. Be sure to check with your HOA (home owners association) if you have one on regulations before you start your fencing project. Schedule your free fencing consultation from Lowe’s online today and see what range of cost your fence may be to make an informed decision.
Generators – energy generators
Living in a geography with wildly swinging temperatures means you need your heating and air conditioning. Beyond just comfort, some people need constant access to power for breathing machines or other medical needs. Choosing a generator for added backup power can give you peace of mind no matter your energy needs. Consult with the team at Lowe’s about generator options, costs and your needs.
Lowe’s Home Improvement Centers – information to know
When doing a home remodel project, peace of mind is key. Many of us choose to outsource home remodel projects instead of the project dragging on when we choose to DIY. The peace of mind using a brand name like Lowe’s instead of finding local contractors is often an advantage for many people, especially when there are multiple rooms involved. Using local contractors is great too. Use a service like Home Advisor, Zaarly or Angie’s List to find quality contractors and help in your area.
