Lowe's Subcontracted Installers Damage Property and Provide No Resolution Pathway

Lowe's uses subcontractors for installation services who may cause property damage and treat customers poorly, with Lowe's failing to follow up despite making promises. The retailer's accountability gap between its brand promise and subcontractor behavior leaves customers with damaged property and no clear escalation path. This reflects a systemic weakness in how large retailers manage third-party labor accountability.
