I'm not familiar with about Home Depot cards but I have done 2 renovations in NJ with credit cards.
I have decent credit so I have many credit cards. I charged everything on cards that rack up points quickly and then balance transfer everything to a 0% interest card. There plenty out there, research it. You'll pay the one time transfer fee of 3% but at the end of the day you pretty much financed the whole reno on zero interest. Another piece of advice is to schedule big renovations in the winter. November (black Friday), you see awesome saving on appliances and building material, even labor is cheaper. Secondly, try to do a lot of thing yourself like painting and such, things you can handle. Its good education and shifts your mind set to a "can do" attitude, which is no. 1 requirement in this business. Good luck!
