-Hardware for cabinets, doors, misc

- LVP flooring

-Lighting and fixtures

It is always good to build your network locally. You might be able to find some materials online but you gamble on the quality.

In my case this is what I follow:

- Construction material locally so we quickly can resupply 

- Flooring locally (I find better prices and service this way)

- Plumbing locally (I bought online for my first remo and quality was really bad) locally are more expensive but I don't gamble anymore as plumbing is something that is always a time constraints to complete and continue other works.

- Electronic fixtures like fans, etc online. Much better deals.
