Home Depot does if for sure -- Lowe's, I've never had it done there nor do I remember seeing a saw at either of the 2 Lowe's local to me.
Home Depot used to do up to 2 cuts free, then 25cent for additional cuts.
They will not do precision cutting, once cut -- it is yours (I think this means the same -- you won't get a refund if it doesn't meet your application. They get it pretty close though, as long as your tolerances are not very precise.
They will not rip-cut either (ex: cutting a 2 x 4 to make (2) 2 x 2's)

If I were making something that I presumably cared that much about the finished product, then I would go to a lumber company & ask them for a number of very good reasons, There are also online companies that sell all sorts of woods, but you have to be careful with them, as there are inherent problems with buying things online, whereas in person you can check things like the moisture content of what you're buying before you've paid for it. That's as politic as I can be on the subject, being a person who works with wood & played guitar a lot more before carpal tunnel made it hard to do more than a half hour stretch of the latter.

They will cut the lumber up to 3 or 4 times without charging. Then each additional cut is about 50 cents. They will only do rough cuts, meaning they will cut lumber to the length you need, but they won't be exactly precise to a tee. They will not cut at an angle or vertically along the board. Just straight across to shorten the lengths.

Yes they do. They do a certain number for free then they charge you a small fee per cut of more than that. But I have been there before when it has not been busy and have gotten more cuts for free. Be nice to the cutting guy and go when it is not busy.

I know that Home Depot will. I do not know about Lowes, but it makes sense if they want to compete.
