Ask a Professional - September 2007

I’m thinking about using one of those Box Store contractors, what’s the difference?

    Of course when we mention box store contractors were talking about Home Depot, Lowe’s or Home Depots upper line “Expo Design Center”. I’m only going to talk about on the average cases, so here we go. Based on a Consumers Reports survey although many consumers were satisfied with the contractors affiliated with these stores, independent contractors either referred or with high credentials scored higher on quality, speed and customer service.
