Of the two stores near me, I like Lowes more. It is better stocked and organized, has a better parking lot with wider isles and spaces, has wider isles in the store, and they don't cram the isles with stuff making it difficult to maneuver through like Home Depot does (a pet peeve of mine). Also, if the Lowes website says that the store has an item in-stock, they HAVE the item, not so with Home Depot (this is another VERY aggravating pet peeve of mine that has caused me to leave a half-full basket of items at Home Depot and go to the Lowes). As far as prices are concerned, some of their prices are a LITTLE higher and some are a LITTLE lower, so the end result tends to come out fairly even.
