Its like a mini home depot with the local flair. Pretty helpful staff and reasonable prices so you dont have to head out of town if your local hardware doesnt have something.

Sometimes a guy can find great deals on tools, lumber, anything yah need for that repair from the drunk dude who Accidentally said he was holding the wall up cause it was falling down!!! Hahhh good times Little Timmy, a little less of grandpas sasparilla and then the walls wont be fallin over. Hit up your neighborhood DIY and see what kind of projects you can conjour up during these times of peril, and while your at it cross off some of those items on thee ol honey do list thats been collecting dust. GIT ER DONE

Very friendly and helpful. Bought a toilet, they gave us a discount on the floor display unit because they had no others of the one we wanted in stock. Didnt get the name of the guy that helped us. Wish I had got his name because he deserves credit for being very friendly and helpful. Had a short braid or pony tail.

Before today, I had good interactions with S. Tahoe DIY Store, mostly with the lovely older lady that mixes the paint colors in the Paint Section of the store. Never really had a hot/cold reaction to the front check-out clerks until today (though I think they go a little overboard with the ID on ATM cards seeing that our PINSand photos on the card should be enough).Today I went in around 11AM (a Monday morning), so i thought it would be nice and easy going to grab a extra-heavy duty, all weather, 20-Amp, extention cord for our Air Conditioner upstairs. I had only seen one possible cord in the isle that had a 20-Amp rating, but I was 50/50 on the knowledge if it was correct for what we were using it for. I tried to flag an associate down for 5-10min, but I was getting tired and out of breath, so I decided to just stand in the long line to check-out and just ask one of the gentleman there. (*little side note here...this day I am expecting problems breathing due to autoimmune disease/post-COVID-19 long- haul issues and was clearly wearing a mask with my oxygen on. I have a handicapped Id also*)When I got to the front of the line, one of the young ladies said she could ring me up, but I asked first if she knew anything about the cord, etc.. nope, not really, but one of the gentleman did, so I was going to wait for him. But in the meantime, all of the clerks, as they finished with each sale and I was going to be next (so I could ask questions and/or get checked out on the item) they ignored me and helped the next person in line... so I just stood there, with this stupid $75.00 extension cord, not knowing if it will work, asking for help, with a mask on, oxygen in my face, hurting like hell, and mad as hell! I know it wasnt the young ladys fault because she was the only one helping me. So thank you to the young lady who, even though could not help me with information, she was able to do my check-out fast so I could get to my truck.Please, I ask that you educate your employees about people that have issue standing for long periods of time and people that are oxygen dependent. It can be very hard to go to a store and stand and walk, it can be very tiring and uses a lot of the bodies resources to do such small tasks...Now I have to come back to get a different cord! If only someone could have taken 30-90 seconds to help me! But instead, I got eye rolls and laughed at. Incredible.The you lady that helped me- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Everyone else- 🏴‍☠️

Ive always had great luck here finding whatever I need, and I really appreciate the very helpful staff and the fact that if they dont know immediately where an item is, or whether its in stock, theyll always reach out to their fellow associates for help. I love a business that never hits you with a NO, but always takes the time to truly assist you!

This is my go-to local hardware store. I wish it was bigger but this is Tahoe and we dont get the big box stores here. Its great for what it is, and they have been very safety concious during the pandemic which makes me feel safer.Sorry for the earlier review of 1 star. That was a pocket dial review and I never intended that!

Review №18

Unbelievably rude clerk. I grumbled at having to show a drivers license when my photograph was right there on my credit card. OK, my fault so far. After showing her my license and saying that she now had no better verification of my identity than she already had from my photo on the card, the clerk belligerently told me that I would show her my drivers license and I would do so every time I came in. This attitude toward a faithful customer pushed me too far, so I said OK then give me a refund. She took back the items and said, not without your drivers license. Wow! After refusing to get a manager, I said OK then just give me my stuff. She refused, so I said, now this is theft. Give me my stuff or Ill call the police. She finally gave me my stuff. Ill of course never go back, but the moral of the story is that people complain about violence and hate in the news. But the problem isnt with somebody else, its with us. If we all (yes, me too) just use our brains and hearts and treat each other with the respect we ourselves need, things will get better; customers wont be lost, clerks wont be upset, and little by little, our lives will get better, one interaction at a time.

Whoever said Meeks is cheaper is dreaming. Way better prices on MOST things at DIY and the attitude at Meeks can leave a lot to be desire too, buddy. Was just there yesterday and you have it completely backwards.Good job DIY. Great service and helpful employees!

Given the myriad of options and my recent poor customer experience with a broken LED light, I’ll shop elsewhere and encourage others to do the same. True Value is truly a better store.

What kind of large home improvement store closes this late? These hours will put you in a jam if your a local handyman or contractor.

Was followed around the store by an employeee while looking at items and then was accused of stealing while leaving without buying anything. Good store but would never shop at a store that is going to accuse everyone of theft. Disrespectful and generally terrible service.

Needed help looking for something in an aisle, half a dozen associates walked past me without ever asking if I needed help. Stood in the middle of the store for another 5 min trying to flag someone down with no luck. Left without making a purchase.

Review №31

This is a much needed store for South Lake Tahoe. I would compare it to a scaled down version of a Home Depot, but the service is far better. Not as much stuff as a Home Depot, but worth the stop.

Review №45

I have heard complaints from people I know about the check out people not all of them are usually go to the men they are much better in dealing with the women for some reason they have a hoity-toity attitude that I don’t like. I read the first comment where the check out refuse to get the manager that is on acceptable and what you do in dealing with someone like that is you do not move until they get a manager or you ask someone else to go get a manager because someone like that does not need to be working with the public. Now as for myself I have had an issue with a person but they did get the manager and it was dealt with The store needs more people like and that works in the paint department she is excellent to deal with. I would not compare to Home Depot simply for the fact that it’s more expensive I only shop there when I need to because of the cost if it wasn’t so expensive there I would shop there more are usually go to Scottys sorry

I have read other reviews of this place and I would agree that the management seems complacent however I dont deal with the management I often deal with employees and they are all fantastic. Also much like an Ace Hardware I can almost find everything or anything that I need in this particular store.
