Home Depot Offering Painting Services

birdog

I heard that Home Depot is starting to offer int/ext painting service as part of their installation service. What do you think of this? Would this interest you?

Dave Mac

paint pro's already got it in our area

I think it sucks for the little guys. The big box companies are taking over home improvement services. I only support small business.

They've been doing it for a long time now, and it's been discussed here a few times. I don't think it's a problem for small businesses that find a way to distinguish themselves from their competition.

What's wrong with a sales rep?

They've been doing it in my area for 3 or 4 years. Last year I showed up to bid a job and the HD rep was there measuring the job but when the home owner started asking some questions the rep was unable to answer, I got the job and at a higher price.

I love messing with the people that work in the paint department at home depot. I think they get these people right from the special olympics. Sometimes I'll just stand by and listen to the crap they spew to the customer. Actually a couple times the customer has seen me in my company shirt and has asked my opinion which is usually 99% of the time different then theirs. I just love the looks I get from the sales person. I'm not worried about the HD painters especially if they are anything like their floor installers.

I was in H.Depot today buying some gutter parts to do a couple of repairs and they had a sign saying...We do gutter cleaning starting at $2.99/lin.ft.
Seems a little high to me
