Home Services

The Tampa center works with customers to facilitate installations of doors and other products. Though the collapsing housing market has hurt demand for bigger-ticket installed projects, Home Depot spokesman Ron DeFeo said the call center’s closure was intended to make the installation process more efficient by giving customers one local point of contact instead of multiple ones.

Home Depot has about 350,000 employees. The company posted a 27 percent drop in third-quarter profit last month and forecast a steeper fall in full-year earnings as the slumping housing market cut into sales.

The home improvement industry leader is upgrading stores, hiring more trade specialists and taking other moves this year to improve business as rival Lowe’s Cos Inc expands to bigger U.S. cities.

Home Depot shares rose 30 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $28.79 on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday.
