Home Depot Contractor vs Independent Contractor

[Katie Smith]

My husband and I just purchased our first investment property in Naples, Fl. The condo's kitchen and bathrooms need quite a bit of updating before we can start looking for a tenant to move in. 

The only problem is that we live in Los Angeles, so overseeing and managing the construction will be a bit difficult. However, we have some family in Florida that would periodically be able to check in. We went to Home Depot over the weekend and they said they could do the entire remodel for us. I'm curious if anyone has experience with Home Depot's contracting services versus hiring an independent contractor out in Florida ourselves.  Any information would be greatly appreciated!
