If You’re Remodeling with Home Depot, You May Be Getting Cheated
March 6, 2007
Customers who put blind faith in a large national company may be getting cheated. According to an NBC Home Depot Investigation, some Home Depot contractors have been trained to overcharge their customers for things not even installed!

Home Depot must live up to its reputation and not take advantage of its customers. It’s easy to trust a well known name, so it’s important to get second opinions or learn about what’s being done. Price is a factor in choosing your remodeler, and you usually get what you pay for; however, paying for phantom installations is ridiculous — the higher price does not equal a higher quality.
