Don't stoop, you can work less for more$. Why would you want a "boss" again? You want to do top quality work for happy customers who will recommend you to their friends.

Re: Sub-contracting For Lowes Or Home Depot
I have a friend that does flooring for Lowes. He keeps his crews busy and paid doing Lowes jobs in between the high end jobs he sells himself.

Re: Sub-contracting For Lowes Or Home Depot
I have a buddy who worked and did heatr installs for HD. it was a horrible experience for him. He no longer accepts any work from them, his biggest complaints were, communication from the store, the amount they wanted to pay, and the time to get paid.

Not advisable. Installation rates are comicable. Non allowable up-charges anymore . We killed them for a while.

Re: Sub-contracting For Lowes Or Home Depot
We did it for awhile. The real money was made in the extras sold directly to the customer. A gray area where the customer needs what the store doesn't supply and prohibits the sub from providing.
But any money you make will be offset by the damaged or misordered product you will be forced to buy. Another gray area where they have the leverage. Good Luck Dave

Re: Sub-contracting For Lowes Or Home Depot
You have to apply. The very last step will ask you to pay $50 to submit your application.
