Whether you’re looking for new flooring options or desire to update your décor with touches like new wallpaper or window treatments, Lowe’s has what you’ll need to complete the update.

For example, if you are ready to remodel a kitchen or bath, Lowe’s complete line of products provides everything you need. Cabinets, countertops, faucets, flooring, fixtures and other home accents will help you pull together the complete look unique to your home and taste.

Online Shopping

Lowe’s website makes researching the right product easy. Not only can you find the product you’re looking for, but you can purchase it online. However, even with Lowe's extensive in-stock selection of more than 40,000 items, you may not find what you’re searching for. Lowe’s understands this and offers more than 10 times that number of items through a Special order sales program available at Lowes.com.

Gift Cards

Lowe’s gift cards make an ideal gift for the handyman (or woman) in your life and can be used to purchase merchandise or service at any Lowe’s store. In one sense, this is a gift that really can keep on giving. Cards can be purchased in amounts from $5-$5,000 and can be taken to the customer service desk in any Lowe’s store to be reloaded without the fear of the card expiring.

Lowe’s Community Involvement

Lowe’s involvement with the community spreads beyond its retail stores. The company has a history of providing aid in natural disaster recovery including the Lowe’s Katrina cottage, which offers affordable housing at $55 a square foot.

Lowe's also takes an active part in making neighborhoods more desirable through alliances with esteemed organizations including:

• Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation
• Lowe’s Toolbox for Education
• Habitat for Humanity
• American Red Cross
• Outdoor Grant Classroom Program

How To

The Lowe’s How-to Library is another resource that provides help for just about any project you can think of. These easy-to-read guides on a multitude of subjects can help get you started with your project. You can check the Lowe's site for the full library, but here are a few topics to whet your appetite:

• Your outdoor kitchen
• Easy water fountain
• Maintaining gutters
• Cabinet makeover
• Energy efficient home
• Maintain patio furniture

Calculate Cost of Your Project

Another tool Lowe’s provides for the do-it-yourselfer is an online project calculator to help estimate the cost of your project before you get started. For example, if you plan to replace flooring, the calculator asks for the dimensions of the room. Then when you click "calculate", the calculator gives the number of square yards of flooring needed to complete the project. However, they remind you to allow for at least a 10 percent overage because usage varies depending on the size and shape of the room.

Store Locations

If you’re wondering how to locate the Lowe’s nearest you, their site offers a map indicating every store location along with a search engine that allows you to find a store near you based on your zip code. Once you find the Lowe's nearest you, you can enjoy the full compliment of products and services they offer to make your home improvement experience as easy and satisfying as possible.
