This is my first time using this section. 

I would like to start renovating my bathroom & kitchen, etc., but I am a complete novice and have no idea where to start.
I have a limited budget, so I wanted to gather some "basic flow" and "useful information" before taking action.

Therefore, I would like to ask for your experiences and any other useful information you may have to share. Thank you very much.

For example.
・ Are Lowe's and Home Depot places for people who can decide on their own design, ? or ?
・ What is the budget difference between having a renovation company do the work and relying on Lowe's and the like? & Do you know if there is any difference in the finished product ?
・ Is there any way to know if the price quoted is reasonable or not? <2265> ・ Do you have any information that we should know about ! ?
・ Do you know if there is a big exhibition hall where we can see and compare the actual products ?
Do you have a carpenter who will come? ? ( Do you have anything we should prepare for the carpenters and others who will come to the show Drinks? Tipping is required ? )

I'm sorry, I don't understand a lot of things.
If there is anything I should know before taking action, or anything I should be aware of after taking action, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

You would be better off asking the builder.
Ask them directly at Home Depot. They don't know too much, too long.

When I asked for a roof replacement, I got estimates from HomeDepot and a contractor.
HomeDepot had a salesman come and explain the project to me, but he didn't seem to understand the details. The actual installation was done by a contractor, so he couldn't guarantee the details. On the other hand, the contractor was very thorough in his explanation, so I decided to go with him. I am glad I did. You should consult with HomeDepot first.

#3 Mr. Remodeling

Thank you for the very useful information about Lowe's design services & Thank you very much for the Anaheim exhibit !
I think I should visit the exhibit to get a good idea of what I want, and then ask several companies for estimates and ideas. ! I think it would be better to go to an exhibition hall or something like that to get a good idea of what I want.

This is very helpful. Thank you !

・ Handyman ( Private contractor ) For work that does not require a permit, go to
・ Licensed general contractor ( Contractor )
・ If you want it done roughly, go to local ( Mekiyan or ) contractors
・ Japanese
・ Home Depot, etc. use them if you want a careful finish
・ General contractors are the same.
・ Japanese management, but if the workers are amigos, the work is messy after all lol.
