Here’s the best way to get in touch with a Home Depot customer service representative.

Call 1-800-HOME DEPOT

Home Depot has a simple help line: 1-800-HOME DEPOT (466-3337). They have plenty of options to choose from to speak with a specialist in the specific field you need. But if you think your problem doesn’t fit into either category and you need to speak to a live agent, call 1-800-566-3337 and select the option “0,” then “0” again then “6,” and finally “2.” This will take you to a live general agent who can help answer questions about your account. and if he cannot solve your problem, he will transfer you to the appropriate department. It took me about three minutes to get through to someone who could help me, so you’ll have to be patient.
