Question : Is home depot expo design consultant good?
For a retainer fee of $750, Home Depot Expo will provide me a designer who would work with me on finding items for my home and color blending. When I use their service (installation and products sold in home depot) that equals 5k or more, my $750 will be refunded.Saleslady said the designers are not on commision so they are not going to make a profit on selling me any certain item. Also, installation fees are basically set.Doesn't this sound like a good deal? I need help with finding the right color blend for my living and dining room walls, hardwood floors , new cabinets for the kitchen and new window treatment. Sales lady said they can help me co-ordinate colors and someone would come over to my house for 2 hours next week.What do you think?

All Answers: Answer #1No its not a good deal and they dont do good work - answered by Ken Answer #2skrew that _ i would pass - answered by Allergic To Eggs Answer #3If a salesperson is on commission, they have absolutely zero reason to tell you about your 750. This can only mean that you are getting lessthat average knowledge and that you will be payingon any money that you spend via a credit card or a"hd expo card". You will always get an extra10% when opening one of these cards, but DO MOREHOMEWORK!!! Do not get taken today, live to spendyour money tomorrow. good luck.

I work for The Home Depot. Expo Design Center isa Home Depot company that specializes in high endhome improvements. Expo Design Center alsofocuses their business on customers that are morelikely to have "us" do the work, rather than thedo it yourself (DIY) customer (like at regularHome Depot stores).Home Depot and Expo associatesand designers are not on commision. So if you aregoing to spend the $5k or more (which you verylikely will at Expo) on a project, the $750downpayment (if you look at it that way) is notreally a huge deal.I have heard great things aboutExpo Design Centers and have visited a few. Mysources regarding Expo's work are friends andfamily, not internal company sources. I knowpeople who've worked with designers at the SanJose (CA), Naples (FL), and Oak Park (IL) stores.
