Home projects mean large carts, and cashback applies to most of them. Check the merchant page for exclusions such as gift cards and installation services before you buy.

Order online, pick up in store, still earn
The highest-value habit in home improvement is routing buy-online-pickup-in-store orders through ShopBack. You get the contractor-style convenience of same-day pickup and the online order still tracks, because eligibility follows where the order is placed, not where it is collected. Walk-in purchases earn nothing, so build the cart at home first.
Check the merchant reference page for exclusions before a big project order: gift cards, installation services, and some appliance lines commonly sit outside eligibility.

Batch the project list into fewer, larger orders
Because cashback is a percentage of the order subtotal, ten small hardware runs earn the same as one consolidated order but cost ten click-throughs and ten chances for a tracking miss. Plan the project, build one cart, and click through once.

Best home improvement deals, discounts, and sales
The best home improvement deals are the ones that stack: start with the merchant's own discounts and sale prices, then click through from ShopBack so the marked-down cart earns cashback on top. This site does not list live offers, since current promotions, upsized rates, and sale events always sit on each merchant's page at www.shopback.com, but every home improvement discount gets better when the same order also earns withdrawable money back.
During a sitewide home improvement sale, cashback applies to the discounted subtotal, so the earning per item is smaller but the combined saving beats either the discount or the cashback alone. The merchant reference pages above explain how each store treats promo codes, because third-party coupon codes are the one stacking step that can void tracking on an otherwise well-timed sale order.
Home Improvement coupons and promo codes that stack with cashback
This site does not publish home improvement coupon lists, because pasted codes go stale fast and the wrong code can cost you more than it saves: promo codes that are not featured on ShopBack are the most common reason a home improvement order's cashback never tracks. The safe home improvement promo codes are the ones listed on each merchant's page at www.shopback.com, which are featured precisely because they keep tracking intact.
The general order is: click through from ShopBack first, apply a ShopBack-featured code at checkout, and the discounted subtotal can still earn cashback on top. Codes from anywhere else, including the merchant's own emails, are governed by that store's terms and may void cashback, so read the merchant reference page above before pasting any code that is not featured on ShopBack.
