Xtra Tips from a Pro
With Pro Xtra, John can track his purchases
online by job, location, PO or date. “I can bill
more efficiently because I can attribute the
expenses to the specific project—as opposed to
sorting through receipts, trying to remember,
‘Were those screws for this job or that job?’
Plus, this is especially helpful come tax
season,” John explains. “We’re all trying to do
the best thing for everyone involved. The Home
Depot’s low prices, variety and convenience are
a big help to me.”

M


y mission is to build comforting
spaces for people who want to
trust,” says John Powers, founder of
CloverNINE Green Building in Connecticut
and Massachusetts. “Just trust, period. Trust
the materials, trust the workmanship, trust
the contractor.” He pauses, squinting into
the warm light settling over Cape Cod. “We
build relationships. Building houses is just
the vehicle we use to do that.” And John
trusts The Home Depot to help him get the
job done right.

H


ow does The Home Depot help John
build relationships? “People ask
me to do random stuff, anything
you can think of. They’ll call me saying,
‘You probably don’t do this, but I’ve got a
bear breaking down my gate.’ And I can
help them, because The Home Depot is
right around the corner, and they have the
quality products I need—at a good price—
to shore up the gate and protect that
family. The Home Depot makes me look like
a hero.” He laughs. “That may sound sappy,
but it’s true.”
