If you’re a homeowner or a DIY enthusiast in the Crestwood or Irondale area, The Home Depot at 7001 Crestwood Blvd is likely your second home. Located in the Eastwood shopping area, it’s the go-to spot for the 35210 community when a kitchen sink starts leaking or when the backyard finally needs that makeover. It’s a massive, well-stocked warehouse that manages to feel local because you’ll almost always run into a neighbor in the garden aisle or find a pro at the desk who knows exactly which part you need for these older Birmingham homes.
What really distinguishes the Eastwood location is the variety of specialized services they offer right on-site. If you’re tackling a big project but don’t want to buy a $500 piece of equipment you’ll only use once, their Tool & Truck Rental Center is a total game-changer. You can rent everything from power washers and floor sanders to a flatbed truck to haul your lumber home. They also have a dedicated Pro Desk for local contractors and a Garden Center that’s famous for having the right plants and mulch to survive the Alabama humidity.
For those who prefer to "buy now and fix later," the store has made shopping incredibly easy with their mobile app and curbside pickup. You can order your supplies online, and they’ll have them ready for you to just pull up and load in—usually within a couple of hours. Another huge benefit is their Home Services department; if a project like installing a new HVAC system or a garage door feels a bit over your head, they can connect you with certified local pros to do the heavy lifting for you.
The vibe inside is busy but helpful, with wide aisles and clear signage so you aren't wandering for an hour looking for a specific screw. Whether you’re a pro stocking up for a job site or a first-timer picking out paint colors for a nursery, the staff here is known for being patient and giving honest advice. It’s a clean, reliable, and high-energy hub that keeps the Eastwood and Crestline neighborhoods looking their best.
Business Hours:
Monday – Saturday: 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Sunday: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Note: The Rental Center and Pro Desk sometimes have slightly different hours, so it's a good idea to call (205) 595-7780 if you're planning a very early morning equipment pickup.)
When The Home Depot was founded in 1978, Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank had no idea how revolutionary this new “hardware store” would be for home improvement and the retail industry.
Today, we’re proud to be the world’s largest home improvement retailer. In more than 2,300 stores across North America, we aspire to excel in service – to our customers, associates, communities and shareholders. That’s what leadership means to us. That's The Home Depot difference.
Our founders' vision of one-stop shopping for the do-it-yourselfer came to fruition when they opened the first two Home Depot stores on June 22, 1979, in Atlanta, Georgia. The first stores, at around 60,000 square feet each, were cavernous warehouses that dwarfed the competition and stocked 25,000 products, much more than the average hardware store at that time.
Today, The Home Depot is the world's largest home improvement retailer with approximately 475,000 orange-blooded associates and more than 2,300 stores in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The typical store today averages 105,000 square feet of indoor retail space, interconnected with an e-commerce business that offers more than one million products for the DIY customer, professional contractors, and the industry's largest installation business for the Do-It-For-Me customer.
