Do you buy your supplies for the contractor? flooring, etc
Do you buy your supplies for the contractor?
Flooring?
Appliances?
Vanities?
etc.....
It seems if you are buying the supplies
- you could get 6 month no interest financing
- you could get the cash back if using your credit card
- you know the price of what you are paying - no hidden mark up
Have you met resistance from a contractor about this?

The problems I've had with customer supplied material is that they either tend to buy the cheapest of the cheap stuff or they have an issue with defective material and expect me to warranty something that they bought.
ex: I had a customer who had bought a water heater themselves and the electric heating element went bad 6 months later. The problem is that they expect me to warranty something that they bought. It's not my fault they bought the cheapest heater they could get their paws on. If I bought a water heater and a element went bad I have pull where I buy them from and can gets parts and deal with warranties etc.
