For my money, I think Home Depot has a slight advantage in availability of in-stock door sizes/styles (which you can check online to find your exact style/size/swing and see which locations have it in stock), while Menards has a wider range of trim options.LVP Flooring. 

@Jay Hinrichs check out Fannie Mae's stock price.
