Home Depot

Everyone get their bids done for Home Depot?


If you don't bid you can't get the job I suppose.....

How do you get the bid requirements? I can't handle that this year, but maybe next year I can. How does one get in on the action?

Mick76, I don’t know why you would lose money on bidding it. The company that called us was wanting our numbers not trying to tell us what they would pay us to do them. So like Longae29 kind of said as long as you are throwing darts at it maybe one will stick sometime. I wouldn't waste my time on ones trying to tell me what they are willing to pay me they can go get bent!!!

They are asking for your numbers because they them selves are in the bidding process. They will only tell you want they are expecting you to do it for once they have the contracts.

You never know until you try!! I know how the bidding process works thanks And if this National want to come back and ask me to lower my price then ya I will walk but until then like has been said on here before, you throw enough darts at the board one is bound to stick!

The national that contacted me is not the same one that contacted you. I did throw some darts at it, but I know I won't get any of them and I sure as hell won't lower my prices to get them.

So I assume you are doing the ones in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri for half the price you bid it for?

The price for the beer alone has to be more than the contract
