Renovating bathroom. Good place to get bathroom stuff
« on: July 20, 2016, 10:33:24 AM »
I am renovating two bathrooms. Aside from HomeDepot, any mamam/papa stores out there that carry good quality stuff at a discount for tubs, doors and vanities?
thanks

I got a great vanity on overstock. Decent price.

As an aside my understanding is that Home Depot/Lowes do not carry high quality stuff - very often even the same company faucets, etc, are lower quality.

A plumber once showed me the differences in the parts between a sink from a supply house and the same one from Lowes. The one from the supply house had metal parts and the one from Lowes were plastic.

deja vu conversation, including @aygart and his plumber :)
that said, you have to know what you're buying, but in the intervening years (decades?) HD has spent millions building up their commercial business. they already have the DIY crowd in their pocket. they purchased HD Supply and Wilmar, and are expending a lot of effort in getting materials for professionals as well at good prices.
Still need to go product by product, but it's not the same world as it was a few years ago.

I recently did 1.5 bathrooms.

For toilets & tubs I used -

Island Plumbing & Heating Supply
(718) 998-7000

Vanity, faucets etc got great sales at Home Depot & did tiles from a local guy.

Is metal better?

Typically in this case the model numbers will be slightly different
