Home Depot

Contractor supply chain

Home Depot is an American retail chain selling hardware, building materials, and home improvement supplies.

The stores are warehouse-style, stocked with lumber, tools, appliances, and garden equipment.

We made three trips to Home Depot during the renovation.

The name has become nearly generic for big-box hardware stores.
