Had lunch with a cousin the other day and he said to try Angie’s list, he uses it anytime he needs something done and it’s been great every time, he says the reviews are very accurate, I’ll try it next time.
Maybe it's a regional thing, but where I've lived the Angie's List ratings have been as inflated and unreliable as TripAdvisor. Good, reliable local contractors often don't even appear, and fly-by-night upstarts with better media skills are top rated. You can also pay for higher rankings there, which explains even more.
