Angie to the rescue!
Desperate home owner in search of quality Repair Company who will show up on time and repair work requested in an honest, diligent manner……
There is nothing more frightening than opening the Yellow Pages in search of a repair company, service man, or any known person that can help beautify your home. Where do you start? How do you know if that repair man is truly qualified for the job? Well fear not, my fruitful home owner….Angie’s List to the rescue!
You may have noticed the sticker on a service car bumper or even on an ad while flipping through the Yellow Pages: a figure of a woman wearing a cap with a big “A” on it sticking her thumb out. Angie Hicks is her name and reviewing companies is her game. She has created one of the most resourceful guides for home owners in need of help. Her monthly publication (by subscription only) is called Unified Neighbors Indianapolis. Through her publication, members can share their service experiences through a grading system, similar to grade school. “A” being the highest, and “F”….well hopefully you know what that means. Members also have a chance to write a review of their experience with the service company. With a subscription, you receive internet access to all the reviews, grades, and company information for various service providers. Her list can be a useful resource for everyone…not just home owners. You can find information on Attorney’s, Veterinarians, Photographers, Lawn Care providers, Plumbers….really anything you can think of. If a company on her list receives a bad review, you’ll know it.
What I like most about Angie’s List is that the service providers cannot pay to be on this list, nor can they rate themselves! She also publishes a potpourri of articles ranging from advice, gardening, business, coupons, etc. I find the information most useful and often keep her publications on my shelf for reference.
My husband and I consider ourselves “do-it-yourselfers”; however, even we know when we are in above our heads…such as when we found ourselves in a flooded basement for the umpteenth time. This is one of the many times we turned to our dear friend, Angie….Angie’s List helped us research a quality company based on past experiences that other home owners like us have had in the past. Were we satisfied? YES
I highly recommend this resource to home owners….it saves time and eventually a lot of money and stress from making a bad choice in service! Click here to be linked to their website.
….and no, I am not their paid spokeswoman…I just know a good thing when I see it!
