Do not get any contractor services from any big box store. The stores are essentially middlemen and outsource to smaller companies whose own quality goes to shit due to complacency through having secured a contract with a retail big box chain. You will pay more and get less quality than if you went with an independent place More on reddit.com

The simple fact is that NONE of the chain home improvement stores do remodeling. Each and every job is carried out by local independent contractors. No store employee will ever step foot in your home. So the conflicting information actually concerns hundreds or thousands of companies who've agreed to accept referrals from the Big Box stores. Small wonder few of the reviews agree with each other. As for charging more? That is your responsibility, not theirs. You want to know what a fair a reasonable price is for installing cabinets, countertops, a sink, and backsplash? GET. MULTIPLE. QUOTES. Can't tell you how many times we've said this on r/HomeRenovations . I worry that we sound like a broken record. But the only way to compare labor (and material) rates is to get three or more quotes for jobs you are considering. Labor and materials vary wildly across North America. What might be a $15K reno in Alabama could be $50K (or more) in the Bay Area. So do your research to protect yourself. More on reddit.com
