Over the past two years, I've spent about $23,000 on three Home Depot projects for my home, and all three contractors were awful. Why didn't I learn my lesson? Two reasons: (1) I couldn't believe I could have very bad experiences with three different contractors and (2) 24 months at 0% interest.
This review is based on my overall experience with three different Home Depot contractors. I'll briefly mention the first two contractors with whom I had bad experiences and go into more detail about the third.
(1) May 30, 2012
Contractor was U.S. Installers Group. Job was replacing carpet throughout my home. All seams were visible. I was told they would go away. Two years later, all seams are still visible.
(2) June 3 to July 1, 2013
Contractor was Total Professional Installations. Job was to remodel 10'x15' master bath. Estimate was two weeks, maybe less. The job took twice the estimated time due to incompetent TPI internal scheduling. I was stuck with only one bath for a month. I wrote a complaint letter to Home Depot headquarters in Atlanta. A couple weeks later I got a phone call basically saying, "Gee, sorry ‘bout that." So much for Home Depot Headquarters' concern about customer experiences!
(3) March 11 to June 13, 2014
Contractor was Romanoff Renovations. The job was to demo a small second bath. Install new vanity and countertop. Install new toilet. Bring tub surround to code. Install tub surround and floor tile.
The initial estimate was four, maybe five, days. It was four weeks (April 10) before I could finally use my second bath. For the second time, I was stuck with only one bath for a month. While I had use of the bath on April 10, the job wasn't completed until June 13.
Why did it take so long? Romanoff's incompetent sub-contractors.
Romanoff initially brought in two installers from Jacksonville. I was assured by the Romanoff field manager: "I know these guys, and they will do a good job." The installers had to be put up in a local hotel for several nights! As they did their work, it was obvious they were incompetent. The tub surround tiles weren't installed evenly. The grouting was bad. The new toilet was unsteady. They dropped a tile on the existing bathtub and chipped it. The shower hardware was installed wrong. The "concrete board" to bring the tub surround to code was messed up. The floor tile wasn't even. The vanity wasn't installed properly.
The Romanoff field manager admitted the work was awful so they completely ripped out everything their "I know these guys, and they will do a good job" installers had done and started over. This meant all the tub surround and floor tile had to be reordered, which took a couple weeks. And then the job had to be started all over again.
Romanoff replaced the damaged tub and shower hardware at no cost to me and brought in a professional plumber to install them. They also brought in an installer who knew what he was doing to finish the project.
After I was finally able to use my second bath, one detail remained. Romanoff's original crew had installed one of the vanity doors incorrectly. Minor problem. Right? Wrong.
There was confusion within the Home Depot bureaucracy as to who should order and install the door. My local Home Depot managers alerted Home Depot Interiors about the problem, but their efforts brought no results.
The door finally arrived at my local Home Depot store on May 28. Romanoff installed the door on June 13.
I don't like it when people use all caps in their posts but: INCLUDING THE TIME IT TOOK TO INSTALL THE NEW VANITY DOOR, THE PROJECT TOOK 94 DAYS RATHER THAN THE FOUR OR FIVE DAYS ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED.
Home Depot charges a bit more than other installers I checked. The advantage was that, at the time, they offered 24-month 0% financing and had a $500 special promotion discount for this job. Unfortunately, I didn't know what I was getting into.
Will I ever use Home Depot contractors to work in my home again? The answer is a resounding NO. Three strikes and they're out.
I must add that, except for the carpet, the contractors' final results look good. It was the frustration, aggravation, and inconvenience that caused me to give the ratings I did.
Finally, this review has nothing to do with my local Home Depot store. They were very helpful.

My contractor said, "no problem", but, of course, he wasn't going to hook it up to the drains. We put the new sink in the same size sink base cabinet, 36", as the old 2-bowl sink. Not only was there an additional bowl on the new sink, but the bowls were deeper. After the remodelling was completed, we looked under the sink and were wondering how in the world we'd get everything hooked up under there because there just wasn't much room. My DIY husband had begun hooking things up using a flexible hose, but he agreed that this was a job better left to professionals as the flexible hose was just an eventual invitation to mold and smelly drains. We called Red Cap Plumbing and they were able to come out the next day. Jack showed up right on time. He was very courteous and insisted on wearing his red shoe covers even though I told him it wasn't necessary as we had removed our flooring in preparation of putting down new flooring. He was a little taken aback by how little room was available to hook up the drains, reverse osmosis unit and the disposal. He investigated everything that needed to be done, devised a plan, got the parts and went to work. It took a few hours, but when he had completed the job there was still room under the sink for my dish drainer, a shelf on which I placed the dishwasher detergent, some utility cloths, scrub brushes, and dishwashing soap. I would never have believed there would have been that much space available. The plumbing looked very neat and everything works great. I could not be more pleased. Jack is a very impressive professional plumber and a genuinely nice young man. Red Cap Plumbing is fortunate to have him working with their company. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again.

Got here a little before 3 and went at it all afternoon and early evening for like 4 hours. I came out every hour or so to check up on him and see how the work was going and he seemed busy each time. First time I came out he was using this brush inside the wheels to get the dirt out. 2nd time he was soaping the roof of the car with these hand mitts. Then he was clay barring the car and didnt miss a spot. Towards the end he was shampooing my carpets on the driveway and wiping down every part of the center console and dashboard. Driving my car around later that night and the next day, it looked great. Will be calling again before the summer gets underway.

"We engaged Tropical Outdoor Solutions through our landscape architect for a total renovation of the exterior of our property. In addition to replacing nearly all plantings, our project involved laying new drainage pipes and installing entirely new irrigation and lighting systems. The results were at best disappointing. In many cases, Tropical was unable to obtain prescribed plantings, necessitating unsatisfactory substitutions. Some of these were so small that they stood little chance of surviving, including two trees that looked more like none too healthy saplings. Plantings were unevenly spaced in many places. Failure to level the ground after excavation created uneven turf. Sod was laid blocking two gutter drainage outlets. No irrigation was provided for an area of shrubbery. Metal edging had to be revised several times. Landscaping of a small atrium, part of the original plan, was never done. Tropical told us that the project would take about three weeks; instead, it dragged on for many more. The project lacked adequate supervision and monitoring of the work by senior personnel. Several requested adjustments were either not carried out or ignored completely. The attitude and behavior of some members of the crew were distressingly unprofessional We have spent the last several months trying to correct these problems, necessarily incurring yet more expense and time lost. We entrusted a six-figure job to Tropical Outdoor Solutions but were left with an incomplete and suboptimally executed realization of a carefully designed plan. We certainly would not recommend Tropical Outdoor Solutions for carrying out sizable landscaping projects."

"The first tech that came out was really pretty good. He looked at the job, told me my options and a day or so later gave me a price. I accepted the offer and told him I'd give him a deposit for the work. Then, I got contacted by someone else in the company, his partner, who upped the estimate $500. I'm not an expert but $1500 for just a tree shaping job seemed high. I didn't respond back."

FAQs for brush chipping projects in Laurel, FL
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
