Lowe's/Home Depot will outsource all that work and limit what those companies can do for their work,
I don't mind the outsourcing thing if it makes sense.
My beef with Lowes is this: I measured my countertops. Let's say I have 20sqft. Lowes has a rate for countertops, installed. Let's say $100/sqft. My bill should be $2000 total. I don't doubt there is a hidden fee or contingency that might kick it up to $2200 or 2500.
Nope. They wanted double of (price/1sqft)*(Tot sqft). That would be $4000 in the above example. I also asked for an option of another non-contiguous counter and they threw that in the base price and refused to break it out. They also refused to show me how they got to 2x budget other than saying "there are some large piece fees and hole fees but we don't have hidden fees".
I told the lady to go pound sand. For as much as I've spent recently rehabbing this house, it sucked, and we have spent very little there after this event. Most went to Home Depot or Ace.

This is off the thread topic but I'd be interested to know what you rehabbed and how much you spent for it.

Yes Lowes and Home Depot have gotten into the ‘services’ a lot for profit. All they do is hire out 3rd parties and often times crappy vendors at that and give a substantial middle man mark up. I would never use their services, all you are doing is paying extra for a middle man.
Op I just got a quote:
$55-75sq ft for stone- $700
$75 for new sink
$175 each to cut sink hole
Removal and disposal $6/ sq ft- $80
Basically give or take about $1000/ vanity. That doesn’t include a new faucet or install/ removal of a faucet.
