Home Depot Black Friday 2025: opening time, best deals, and how to score the biggest savings

Black Friday 2025 lands tomorrow—Friday, November 28—and Home Depot is set to flip from Thanksgiving closure to doorbuster mode with early-morning hours, heavy tool bundles, and deep discounts on appliances, smart home, and holiday décor. If you’re mapping out your route, here’s the latest on store times, online drops, and the standout promotions worth your cart space.

When does Home Depot open on Black Friday?

• Thanksgiving Day (Thu, Nov. 27): Closed nationwide.

• Black Friday (Fri, Nov. 28): Early open, commonly 6:00 a.m. local; some stores follow regular opening hours.

• Tip: Check your specific store in the app or locator—select markets may vary slightly.

Curbside pickup, in-store pickup, and same-day delivery windows expand through the weekend, but early morning slots fill first.

Headline deals to expect at Home Depot

Power tools & bundles

• Free-tool with battery starter kit promos on major cordless platforms (great for expanding a kit inexpensively).

• Doorbuster combo kits (drill/driver + impact driver + batteries/charger) frequently under key price thresholds.

• Bare tools (saws, sanders, grinders) discounted when added to qualifying bundles.

Major appliances

• Refrigerators, ranges, and laundry pairs with broad markdowns, plus package savings when you mix brands within the same order.

• Free delivery and haul-away often included on qualifying items; installation deals pop up during checkout.

Smart home & security

• Video doorbells, Wi-Fi thermostats, and smart displays in bundle pricing; look for multipacks for bigger per-unit cuts.

Holiday décor & yard

• Pre-lit trees, LED string lights, inflatables, and projectors at some of the lowest prices of the season.

• Outdoor power (cordless blowers, trimmers, pressure washers) frequently paired with bonus batteries.

Flooring, paint, and storage

• Luxury vinyl plank and laminate per-sq-ft drops with pallet pricing.

• Paint promos on top interior lines plus buy-more-save-more on accessories (rollers, tape, trays).

• Garage and closet storage: steel shelving, totes, and modular systems discounted in sets.

Black Friday game plan (30-minute prep)

1. Choose a battery platform. If you’re buying cordless tools, pick one ecosystem and stick with it—free-tool bundles multiply value when everything shares batteries.

2. Stage your cart tonight. Add likely doorbusters and save them; when prices flip overnight or at open, you can check out fast.

3. Verify store inventory. Tools and trees sell out first; switch to in-store pickup at neighboring locations if your closest store is depleted.

4. Stack offers. Watch for gift card promos, rebates on select appliances, and financing that includes extra return windows.

5. Bring dimensions. For appliances, know cutout sizes, door swing, hinge clearance, and path measurements (doorways, stairs).

Sample price targets (so you know a real deal when you see it)

• Cordless 2-tool kits (brushless): often $149–$199 with two batteries and charger.

• Free-tool bundles: battery starter kits around $199–$229 that let you choose a bonus bare tool valued $129–$249.

• Dishwashers/washers/dryers: common $200–$700 off depending on brand and features, with bigger cuts on last year’s models.

• Pre-lit trees (7.5 ft): strong buys typically $149–$249 for quick-connect pole designs.

• Shop vacs/air movers: reliable doorbusters in the $39–$99 band.

Exact pricing varies by market and brand; compare specs, not just sticker.

Store vs. online: which is better?

• In store: Best for doorbusters, trees, storage, and “free tool” selections when you want immediate pickup and to avoid shipping delays.

• Online: Best for appliances (easy comparison, scheduling delivery/installation), smart home multipacks, and large floor orders delivered to your driveway.

• Hybrid: Buy online for pickup when the app shows limited stock at your preferred store—this locks the item while you drive.

Returns, pickup, and delivery notes

• Holiday returns are typically extended; keep your receipts or e-receipts tied to your account.

• Appliance delivery slots fill quickly on Black Friday morning; if you need an install before year-end, schedule during checkout.

• Curbside is fastest early; by midday, lines can form—consider in-store pickup if wait times grow.

Quick safety & capacity tips for tool shoppers

• Amps and torque aren’t everything. Look at battery capacity (Ah) and charger speed—a slow charger can turn a bargain into downtime.

• OSHA/ear/eye protection: toss safety glasses and hearing protection into the cart; they’re often bundled at a discount.

• Warranty & service. Register tools after purchase; many brands include 3–5 year coverage on tools and 2–3 years on batteries.

Home Depot’s Black Friday 2025 playbook centers on early opening, tool-bundle value (especially free add-ons with battery kits), sizable appliance markdowns, and holiday décor at seasonal lows. Build your cart tonight, confirm your store’s opening time (typically 6 a.m. local), and be ready to pivot between pickup and shipping to lock in the best prices before inventory thins.
