Home Depot and Lowes discounts

[Dan Costantino]

What do you see as a fair discount for $12,000 in materials. My GC is only getting 6% (so he says), and I get 10% just for being a member of my REIA.

I have heard a couple people talking about 15%+ discounts on orders.

What should I expect? I am in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania market.

Thanks!

Seems, your GC needs some negotiating skills, you dont even need to negotiate to get 10% through the qsp bid room, at lowes for any order over 2,500.

Im not a very good negotiator and We get 18-22% on any orders over 2,500 from lowes.

Paint you can do better, and the starting price isnt inflated like sherwin williams.
