i love angie's list. i've had a subscription for a few years now.
my biggest problem with them is really a problem with my brain-- my most usual question is "huh. wonder who i would call to get X done?" for example, at the moment, i am pondering refinishing my front door. do i call a general handyman? there's a category named doors, but they seem to be all about replacing them. what about painters? putting varnish on is kind of like painting. hm. maybe the same people who refinish furniture."
but if i know what i need, for example, a new plumber, then it's easy to look up who works in my area and what their ratings are.
