The Home Depot

Troy is the best employee! I had to return something but ended buying it and another one and he was very patient and sweet. Thanks for brightening my day! –Priscilla :)

Their price matching is a joke. It will only price match if it is the exact same brand but Home Depot makes their own brand for most things so they can avoid that. Go to Tractor Supply Company it is cheaper for most things. The manager talked down to me like I was stupid because it wasn’t the same brand.

Ok, let me preface this by saying I normally HATE Home Depot. I hate the clutter, the poor layout, and usually the selection. But this Home Depot is different– and particularly useful to someone renovating & restoring a historic home.
This place has plaster and lathe (two kinds), which is almost impossible to find at other big box home stores. When you’re working in a house from 1920, trying to find the materials needed to stay true to historic details is stressful and often requires ordering parts/​material online… not always an option when its something heavy or cumbersome to ship (at least if you’re on a budget like we are).
Additionally, this HD has the widest selection of rental items I’ve ever seen. You can rent a friggin manlift– something we’ll be doing soon, since we need to repaint the eaves on the house. Again, this is huge if you’re renovating– renting a hardcore hammer drill for a day is way more cost effective than buying one new. Normally I shop at Lowes — however, this place has become my go-​to when I need supplies in the area.
