  • This store isn't as busy as the one closest to me. So you never have to wait on anything. I've been remodeling my home so I've spent the last two years in the wood and metal rows. They are way overpriced, on just about everything. For example, I've used a lot of 1/8x1x1 aluminum angle. iron. An 8' length is $18(including tax). A 25 footer at Curtis Steel is only $12. Home depot charges $1.50 more a foot than Curtis. Another trick hey employ is to quarter their sheets of plywood, MDF. particle board. Before they quarter it a 3/4"sheet of MDF is about $21. Quartered sheets are $8 a quarter, or $32/sheet. That's a substantial markup. And that's all over the store. The store is convenient and the sales people are real helpful. But if you've got a sizable project to do.--shop around. I built a 10'x20' shed on the west side of my garage(with a ten foot ceiling). I used doug fir2x4's and 3/4" MDF. Home Depot wanted $900 for a sheet metal box(they called it a shed) that was 8x8X8. I would have needed three of them ($2700) to build a shed that I spent $500 to build. And don't ever let them install anything for you. Even if it's. just a washing machine. If you don't want to be bothered by playing "carpenter" for awhile, check out Craigslist. Lots of tradesmen are out of work. And many of them are really reasonable. ($15-$20/hr for carpenters, bricklayers, and plumbers is real reasonable. If you decide you'd rather play doctor---- you're on your own. The advantage of using a tradesman is that HD gives him a break on materials because he's jobber..When they began the concept of a big box construction materials where house 40 years ago these places weren't cheap, but they were reasonable. I drove a cab the last 20 years before I retired. The Home builders came every January. A lot of their conversations centered on pricing. If you could convince a customer he was buying more for less, you went to the head of the line.
