I did a design with home depot. Picked the 15 thomasville cabinets with a large pantry cabinet, all the features I wanted. They ended up costing $26,000 in total. Pretty ridiculous. But they had a 30% off special going that would knock the price down to $16k. Which I'm thinking isn't too bad. Only thing is the deal ends in 2 days and I have to make this decision before I was quite ready.
Is this 30% off deal truly a good value that might not come around again soon?
Is it always busy with customers? Is there downtime to work on designs or is it mostly doing it off the clock? Does the designer go out to customer sites or is it in house with someone else measuring? MOST IMPORTANTLY Do KD’s still get an apron?
I’ve been in kitchen remodeling for 8 years, half as an installer half as a showroom manager. I enjoy the work, but there’s no more room to grow and the owners aren’t even trying to run it anymore. Looking for a way out but I want to know what I’m realistically getting in to

I’ve never done a kitchen makeover before, but HD was quoting $137k for this job. I’m sure it’s correct, but it just felt like they railroaded the entire thing. And she only wanted to talk about replacing the cabinets (and I have 3 options for replacing the cabinets, which I don't really need), someone else would come out to talk about the countertops I guess. I am SURE this is a normal process but I’ve never done it before and I needed someone to help me begin this project. Anyway, that all being said.
The cabinets need to be sanded and painted. I can do that.
The tile is very old and the grout is difficult to clean/work with. We really were looking to replace that. The problem with the tile is that there is so much tile on the walls, so we’d need to get a drywall person to do that.
I can do the cabinets. I can’t work with HD again, they were exhausting and confusing. Are there any other big huge red flags I need to be worried about?
Thanks!!
The green tile is the biggest problem.Looking to do cabinets, countertops, and appliances in my kitchen (basically a remodel) and am being quoted $19-23k by Home Depot estimator. Never having gone through them, any idea how close these estimates usually are? Most stuff is low to mid end.
Thanks!
Does anyone have experience working with Home Depot for a kitchen remodel? If there is an issue with the installation or contractor they send out, how easy is it to get the issue resolved? Are they more likely to fix the issue since it's coming through Home Depot? If we worked independently with a general contractor and had issues, would that be better or worse? I've never done a major remodel before, and I want the fewest headaches and extra costs possible.
We are planning a kitchen remodel and I’m wondering if anyone has recently worked with Home Depot for design, custom cabinets, also whether you used them for install and how that was. We did a kitchen in another house (different area) about 10 years ago and it was a good experience.
If you’ve done a kitchen another way that you were happy with, I’d also like to hear about it.
We think this is our forever home so we’re not looking to scrimp but also don’t need something crazy expensive.
Apologies if this has asked before but I couldnt find it. I am looking to get my kitchen remodeled (cabinets, appliances, counter tops etc etc) and change the floors in my condo. How is Home Depot/Lowes for such a project? I have spoken to a couple of contractors/specialists and compared to them, I really liked Home Depot because it feels like a one stop shop and I am in much more control of the whole process. Also the “ball-park” estimates that the contractors have given me are over my budget and Home Depot/Lowes seem like I would be able to do what I want in my budget.
This is the first time I am doing such a large project so I wanted to know if going to a big box store like Home Depot/Lowes is worth it
Hello! I have a small kitchen and am looking to upgrade it a bit. I like the options Home Depot offers for kitchens and noticed they have a whole design and install service as well. I can do majority of installation myself but has anyone used their design service? Were you satisfied? Was price fair?
Thanks in advance!!
We are located in Seattle and planning to hire HomeDepot to do the project.
Please share your experience and things to watch out for.
I'm looking to update a much older home that hasn't really changed since the 60s. I want to renovate the kitchen and the floors.
I'm seeing on Home Depot's website that they offer not just the materials but also installation services?
Has anyone used Home Depot before? What was your experience? Did you save money or did they screw up and you had to go find a local contractor?
Asking for someone else, do you still have to fly to Atlanta for training for kitchen design? The employee doesn't want to ask because they dont want to alert anyone they are looking at this position at another store. Thank you! :)
We have gutted our kitchen and wanted to know what people's thoughts are if they have used the design planners? I also heard Costco is good.
Hi, I’d love to hear from anyone who has used the kitchen remodeling services from Home Depot. My husband and I had an appointment this morning with a member of their team and the process seemed super straight forward and easy. She brought samples of a ton of different tiles, cabinets, etc. and we selected everything that we liked. What we’re planning on having done is replacing our cabinet doors, getting a new backsplash, and new counter tops.
My dad has worked in construction for a very long time and is trying to convince me to look elsewhere. His reasoning is that Home Depot just finds contractors and charges more money since they work as the middle man. The woman who came to our house today though told us that all of their contractors work for Home Depot and are not outsourced from a different company. I’m torn because I like the simplicity of making all of my selections and having one team be able to do everything. We had a prior estimate from someone who can do our countertops, however he does not work on cabinets and we’d have to find someone else to do that as a separate project.
If you’ve used Home Depot’s home services, I’d love to hear about your experience. I’d like to get the ball rolling on my kitchen and get it done as soon as possible, however I don’t want to just jump into something that I may later regret. Thanks in advance!
