Anyone here use or subscribe to Angie's List? Is it worth it? What are your experiences?
 
My nextdoor neighbor did. She liked the reviews but said she was sent a LOT of e-mails about different vendors and services she didn't need or want.

Best,

Dave
 
There are lot of accusations that they go after contractors to advertise to get better placement.

I don't trust any service that makes you pay to see any of the product.
 
Had a subscription for a year. Found better contractors every time I needed one through personal references.
 
I have a subscription. I've not found it quite as useful as I thought it would be. I guess I just don't do that much hiring of contractors. I don't recall getting any sort of spam or other unwanted email out of it however.

I did file a negative report on one company and the experience wasn't particularly pleasant nor did it have any affect on the non-responsive landscape contractor.
 
In the DC area there's a publication called Washington Checkbook that I find to be at least as good as AL, if not better. I use it instead of AL.
 
I am an independant contractor. I know my area pretty well. I do not show up on AL. Of the ones who do, I would recommend about half. 25 percent are so-so, and 25 percent..NO WAY IN (&^*$%&$&
