I think I might answer my own question here,
and I'm aware this is a DIY newsgroup - but,
what's the general consensus on using HD as
installers ? (for say, roofing, fencing, siding,
things of that nature).

If they're subbing out the work to low bid
local contractors, is HD standing behind the
work those subs do ? (ie. with some kind of
warranty ?)

For that matter what about Lowes, Sears, etc?

Anyone have personal experience with using
them for that kind of work ?


There in house Contractors are bottom of the barrel, Carpet, HD, Lowes,
Expo all charge to come out and measure your carpet I don't know of any
other CO. that dose. Special ordering anything from a nail to a set of
Kitchen Cabinets is just a gamble and the odds are in the houses favor. They
also like to get 99.9% of the money before the job is done, Huumm wonder
why??? If you look at anything that is a special order you will most likely
pay more they are really not the cheapest around. Now on the positive side
If it's something off the shelf there's a 75% chance they will ring it up
right.
