Home Depot is a retail home improvement supply store. It has locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and China. Because it sells home improvement supplies, the retailer offers self-help classes and videos to its customers. The Home Depot also offers expert contractors and service providers to install products customers purchase. To become a Home Depot service provider, you must follow a few steps to qualify.

Submit the $10 registration fee along with your completed application. To qualify, you will have to pay $69.50 for a background check, as well as $46.50 for background checks of each of your employees or subcontractors.
