| - It's home depot...what's to say? If you've never been to a home depot or Lowe's...they are home repair, construction, and maintenance super stores.
They pretty much sell everything you could need for your home, and they are all pretty much the same. I've been to home depots in over 10 states (I make purchases from them for work) and they are reliable. That is what I like about them. Period. Service can be hit or miss, depending on the capabilities and attitude of the "Associate" you work with, if you can find one. When they are busy, the place is huge, and it can be hard to get help. But, some of them are also incredibly talented and knowledgeable. I've have both experiences at this location.
I do NOT like the selection of some of the materials, etc....it seems really limiting. But, if you are serious about purchasing, say, bathroom fixtures or electrical items...go during the day, when it is slower, and sit down with an associate and look at what they can order. The selection in catalogs is FAR GREATER than what is on the floor. And shipping is fast, and often free.
We have bought A TON of things from this location...thousands and thousands of dollars worth of materials and fixtures, including carpeting for our entire upstairs (three bedrooms, massive walk-in closet), and we used their install service. It was done very professionally and the contractor was very good....that said,
I prefer Menard's :P
Hint: check out the tool rental - it can be a great way for the home-owner or DIY'er to access really expensive tools for cheap...e.g. flood sander, scaffolding, etc.
