Below are actual user feedback that we found on Angie's List.

"I've been a member of Angie's List for a couple of years. After a plumber broke my new bathroom sink, I went on the list and found a plumber in my area who many people had raved about. I hired him to fix the problem and his men did an excellent job. I will use the list again for my kitchen remodel."

"I have also used a lot of people from Angie's List, and had so-so results. And the ones that get great ratings tend to become very expensive. It's still a good double-check though."

"I don't know a good upholsterer, but wanted to step up in defense of Angie's List. I'm an extremely satisfied customer. What you really ought to do is get a one or more year membership. My reading of their site is that the first year would run you $74, or roughly $6/month. Where Angie's List really delivers is in the ever-important arena of "not getting f**ked." If the value of doing business with reputable contractors is less than $74 a year to you then... well... go forth and take your chances. I've used it only about half a dozen times a year since subscribing, but even at that low level of utilization, I feel very strongly that I've gotten my money's worth. I own one house, which I don't even live in myself -- hardly 'renovating 6 houses.'"

"Regular price for the yearly membership is $47 (for me in Raleigh/Durham, anyway). When you consider the cost of a bad contractor, who you picked out of the yellow pages eenie-meenie-minie-moe style, and who charges you too much for bad work, $47 per year sounds really, really cheap. I used the list for one big project before, and it went well. I'm about to fork over nearly $20,000 to a contractor for some home improvements. Since they're highly rated on Angie's List, I'm much less worried about the work than I otherwise would be. The problem is that without Angie's List, where do you get unbiased information about contractors? I don't know of any free sites, though someone should start one.."

"I selected 3 vendors from Angie's List that served my area. All come to the site and rendered estimates. Cañada seemed to offer the best skills and value for the dollar, even though another vendor was $70 less. Cañada also had a raft of A ratings on Angie's List. Owner did the estimate, all his workers were his employees, had work comp coverage, and liability, and provided proof upon request. And, I had a 5% off coupon thanks to Angie's list. They did all the trimming with a squad of about 6-7 guys and were done in about 7 hours, cleaned up and hauled it all away. Good stuff!"

"... I've found angie's list is very helpful if you're looking for repairmen or painters for any job that's pretty straightforward, but I had NO luck finding a contractor for a big, somewhat complex gut rehab job ..."

"Like free review sites, consumers submit reviews, whether they pay for the service or not. But Angie’s List has a few layers of checks and balances to make sure those reviews are legit ... Angie’s List only accepts one form of advertising from companies it ranks. Those who consistently get an “A” or “B” rating from consumers can offer coupons ... The reviews customers give are detailed, too. For dermatologists, I could read every customer’s full reviews and read details like how long they waited for an appointment, how the doc handled first time patients, billing policies and the condition of the office and exam rooms. If you don’t have time to read all the reviews, an average grade is listed for each doctor, in everything from office environment to bedside manner. Impressive. I went through the list of doctors reviewed and drew up a list of five possibilities, which I’ll start researching this week. I feel like an empowered consumer, not just someone at the mercy of my primary care doctor’s list of who’s available."

"I use Angie's list all the time. The info is much more detailed than what you'll find here. And because you pay to participate, there's less chance that some company got a bunch of usernames and started BSing about how wonderful they are."

»  skaternum, city-data.com feedback on Angie's List

"... these guys did our roof, soffit, facia, gutters, new patio roof, replaced our patio door and painted our trim.... They did a great job, on time and on budget. We had one minor problem with our patio door and they came out and fixed it right away. I found them on Angieslist.com which has a small membership fee to find well recommended businesses in your area, but it was well worth it to find this contractor."

"The air conditioner in the townhouse I recently purchased appeared not to have been serviced for a while. I used Angie’s List to locate a service firm and – because of its service reviews and a nice coupon – I called Air Core for a maintenance agreement that included two service calls in a year - at a very good price ... Air Core lived up to its reviews, doing commendable work for me."

»  Michael S, coreair.com feedback on Angie's List

"One weak aspect of the Angie's List service is amateurs grading professionals. Especially my niche of landscape and tree service near Portland. But one strength that really seems to lend stability is trends in reviews - and homeowners can still be experts about what good customer service is."

"Please contact Angies list for a well trained electrician. I hire from Angies list a Cincinnati Based Electrical contractor FREY ELECTRIC SERVICE who completed the install with corrections and passed inspection the first time. The work from FREY ELECTRIC was very professional, neat, clean and completed on time with no problems. I would recommend them for a worry free electrical upgrade to your home."

"I know someone who was ripped off by a shady fence contractor so I was careful when it came time to choose a fence company. I found Southland through Angie's list and it deserves it's great reputation. They were prompt, professional, and did everything they said they would. On the preliminary visit, they drew a diagram of the proposed fence and submitted a bid after asking me exactly what I wanted."

"I use Angie’s List and I’ll swear by it. It’s completely worth the money you’ll save, and the hassle of finding a reliable service provider. It has a very loyal following and a very detailed rating process. I found my home inspector, my termite inspector, and my hardwood installers all through Angie’s List. It’s the first place I start looking before calling for estimates. Of course you still want to get references, etc."

"We signed up for Angie's List to help us find a contractor to completely gut and remodel our kitchen, and add a half-bath. While actual construction hasn't started yet (waiting for materials to come in), so far every interaction with our choice has been stellar. They even ate most of the upgrade cost when we had to select a new countertop material due to the original one being discontinued (our new selection was a bit more expensive). We never would have even heard of this company without Angie's List."

"I've heard a lot of ads for this: www.angieslist.com. You may have to pay to join."

»  Ed R., sportsfrog.com feedback on Angie's List

"While I initially winced at the membership fee, I went ahead and signed up since I'm a first-time home buyer. While just browsing, you can get alot of good information on the contractors listed, including whether or not they use subcontractors, which take Visa, discounts offered, etc. They even offer a link to that company's page on the BBB website. I've found myself using the list to get a general ballpark price for services. As in "Hey, what would it generally cost to have someone come in and reinsulate my attic?" Whenever I submitted a review, I was able to type in nice, regular case. I've never been spammed or phone-solicited by them either."

"Yes, I am a member of Angies list and as a realtor I am constantly asked for referrals; I find it worthwhile and the vendors my clients have used have been good."

"...  With Angie's List I do like the fact that contractors (finally) are not asked to pay for their listing while homeowners get a free referral. As it should be, it is the other way around and creates a genuine, qualified lead ..."

»  marketingmaven, mommytruths.com feedback on Angie's List

"I've been a member of Angie's List for several years (I too joined right after I had to fire my first horrible contractor for my whole house remodel in MN). The List can be great but I think how well it works depends on which part of the country you live in and the overall general work ethic of your region ... Yes, I still love Angie's List and I think it's worth the annual fee, but just realize the different chapters do vary in quality."

»  jenswrens, gardenweb.com forum feedback on Angie's List

"I've been an Angies List member for years. I highly recommend it. I think it's around $50 per year. Whenever I call a contractor (which happens often with an old house), I make it a point to mention that I found them on Angies List. Seems to get me a quick response from all of them, and sometimes they'll offer you a discount. But more importantly you can quickly see the reviews other customers have written about the contractor."

»  CMC, sportsfrog.com feedback on Angie's List

" I looked in to Angie's List and I was not impressed. They're high profile ads don't impress me either. I think you'll be much better off doing your own leg work and asking around. If you have friends in one of the trades, ask them. Often an Electrician will know a good plumber and vice-versa. I also have had mixed success with the BBB, both as a businessman and a consumer."

»  Bron, blogs.consumerreports.org feedback on Angie's List

"When Angie's List first started in this area a few years ago, I signed up for a free one year membership and found it useful ... It's different than posting for recommendations on a forum like this, as the info is more indepth on Angie's List. Reviewers answer different questions about their experience and it's more than just "hey I recommend this company!". There's usually more detailed info about the person's experience."

»  jill7930, city-data.com feedback on Angie's List

"Angie's List has definitely been worth the money to me. I've been a member for several years and have saved time and money from using companies on the list. The experiences I've had with hiring from the list have been positive. The companies return your calls, come out when they say they will and do quality work. Well worth the small annual fee."

»  Lou, apartmenttherapy.com feedback on Angie's List

"... At the end of the day, the value of the site like Angie’s List, depends on the quality of the reviews. Since the content is user generated anyways, I don’t see how Angie’s List can claim a higher quality than Yelp reviews. Just because I paid a hefty fee does not incentivize me to actually write a detailed and thoughtful review. In fact, since I paid, I just want to get access to lots of high quality reviews, not worry about writing them."

»  Diwaker G., floatingsun.net feedback on Angie's List

"My input. Get lots of estimates and compare them. Angie's List is a great resource to find contractor's. I just had a whole new HVAC system put in my house. I picked the top 6 contractors on Angie's List and got estimates. Picked the one I liked the best and am very satisfied with the work.."

»  Alakar, dslreports.com feedback on Angie's List

"Angie's list has been a real gift. Having been thoroughly burned by a window company I really appreciate being able to check out what other people are saying about service providers I am preparing to hire. The monthly fee is a small price to pay for the security I feel in having the list to turn to, and knowing that it isn't skewed by advertising dollars."

»  Elaine, apartmenttherapy.com feedback on Angie's List

"Why do people think they should get something for free? I have been an Angie's List member for a while and can tell you that the info is well worth the small fee. In fact, I bet I have saved more money from the companies I have found on Angie's List than I have paid in fees. You just can't find this much good info on companies anywhere else. So I guess you can be cheap and take your chances with the big ad in the yellow pages or you can pay a few bucks and get the real scoop before your committed."

»  turtle, apartmenttherapy.com feedback on Angie's List

"... If the standard is "BUYER BEWARE" anyway, which isn't a bad idea. Why pay for angieslist? Just get your lead on contractors from with Yellowpages, Newspaper, friends & neighbors, craigslist, backpage, bighardhat, etc. and do the due diligence yourself. If you can't handle that than you really ought to hire a GC which basically specializes in managing subcontractors and pay the 20% or whatever extra to get the work done ..."

"There are so many people out there ready to take advantage of the next poor victim to fall into their trap. Iâ??ve had and witnessed many of these situations and Angie'??s List is a great tool to outwit the scammers out there. Sure it costs money, but the fee is well worth it. If I have a problem with a company I can call Angie'??s List and they'??ll deal with the problem for me. Every time I call I can talk to an actual person - someone who knows what they'??re talking about. Angie'??s List has saved me time, money and effort when all said and done and is worth the money."

"OMG, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this, Jewel! I've nothing to add to the great advice you've received but I will add my two cents about Angie's List. I've been a member for a couple of years and I love it. However, I don't rely on AL alone. I also check with BBB and my state's contractor's board - and you should, too. Get a full picture to see if there are any red flags that might not be apparent from an A rating on AL."

»  lisa a, gardenweb.com forum feedback on Angie's List

"Now along comes Angie’s List, what I consider the Amazon book ranking of the service industry ... That’s what Angie’s List does for service companies. What you see there are raw customer opinions about thousands of contractors. Conditioned Air can’t influence the wording, can’t pay to change anything to make us look better. About all any company can do is offer a discount coupon or pay a small amount to be highlighted within their ranking. But if a customer is unhappy with the service they got and gives them a low ranking, it’s there for the world to see."

"I don't know where you got the handyman you choose--personally I have been using Angie's List because when I needed repair people in last few years I was not able to get a personal recommendation from friends--and been happy with those people coming out I can understand perfectly why you were not going to argue with that guy about money alone in your home... "

"... I find it ridiculous that Angie's List expects you to pay the prices they charge. $14.50 a month?? Unless I was renovating 6 new houses I don't think that's worth it."

"We used DJW Roofing last summer. I also found them on Angie's List and they were top rated. The owner, Dan J Witeck, has been in the construction business most all of his life and he is the person who came to give the estimate and the person who you do all the business with. His son is on the crew who actually does the work so it's a family thing. I think they might have been a little more expensive than some of the others but the work is beautiful. They also took a half day longer than expected to finish but that wasn't a problem for me. I'd prefer a little longer than a rush job ..."
