What percent of people know that Home Depot installs Roofing?
Anyone know what percentage of people know that Home Depot installs roofing, siding, gutters, windows, attic insulation, and doors?
The estimates are free if that is what you mean.
The install part of roofing, siding, gutters, windows, attic insulation, and doors is not done by the associates in the stores. It is done by well trained people with a 7 year background check so as to make sure that the people we install for have peace of mind. They also have the best and longest warranties in the industry. RSW is a seperate entity but still Home Depot Associates.
The installers are factory trained. The sales consultants go in the store, but not the installers or the feild inspectors. The training for the sales consultants are only from RSW not from the store.
And by the way, most stores have Journeymen Electricians and Plumbers in the aisles to help customers.

There is no way that an entity can be different with the same associates. An entity can be a wholly owned subsidiary of another with the same training procedures of the parent company. If that is what your trying to say is the relationship between RSW and Home Depot, you would be relying on the uninformed public that don't understand that the associates are not well trained at all to think that would be a positive. I understand that the public unknowingly thinks that your store associates are knowledgeable in installing the items they sell. I hear dangerous advise given in your stores all the time.

As a 10 year ex home depot employee who actually did know how to sell I will tell you don't have them install anything it is some of the worse service you can get. Maybe back when Home depot management had more than one employee in every isle.
And to the old man that said the people there don't know how to sell stuff I would like you to try and know everything about every product in a giant wherehouse full of millions of different products that change manufacturers like you change underwear. And run a department by yourself and get asked 100 questions on your way to the bathroom to take a piss. It's not as easy as it looks moron.
Don't get me started on this place, one thing it taught me was people suck and they are idiots.

Home Depot does not install anything. They sub contract the work out to contractors.
Unfortunately Home Depot sets the price they are willing to pay to have (for instance) a roof installed, and any reputable contractor won't work for that price.
I'm asked often by Lowes and Home Depot to do installs for them.
