About Home Depot
Home Depot operates a large chain of retail outlets focused on supplies for fixing up and building out houses. Shoppers can find building materials, garden and lawn items, decor, and products for upkeep and repair work. The company also arranges hands-on installation help for things like flooring, cabinets, countertops, heating and cooling equipment, and windows, and it lets customers rent tools and machinery rather than buy them outright.
Its buyers range from people working on their own houses to tradespeople and businesses, such as contractors, electricians, plumbers, painters, property managers, and repair crews. Purchases can be made in person or through several web storefronts, one for general merchandise and others dedicated to custom window treatments and to textiles and decorative pieces for the home.
The company traces back to its incorporation in 1978 and runs its main offices out of Atlanta, Georgia. Its stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker HD.
