Angie's List
If you ever need any kind of service, one site I've always liked is Angie's List. Here's how they describe themselves:Whenever you need a plumber, roofer, electrician, auto mechanic, landscaper or any other type of service company, contact Angie's List by phone, fax, website or by visiting one of our chapters. You will receive the names and numbers of companies with which other members have had good experiences. They will also tell you what type of work they have done for other members and what they thought of their prices, whether they were punctual, polite, finished the work on time, etc. Once the work is finished, contact Angie's List and share your feedback about your service experience. Your input will become part of that company's rating on Angie's List. Of course, you do have to be a member of Angie's List to participate.The site is supported by membership fees, and the fee depends on the area in which you live. They have discounts if you pay longer in advance. The annual fee for the Boston area, for example, is $53, but there's a 36-49% annual discount if you subscribe for 2-4 years. Charleston, SC, on the other hand, is only $10/year because Angie's List hasn't been tracking the area for as long a period of time.
They've got over 350 different categories of services listed - everything from anything to do with your home to pet sitting, accounting, medical professionals, and zipper repair.
They don't allow vendors to become members or post reviews, and they manually look at every review before posting it. I added a review for someone who wasn't listed on Angie's List previously, and they phoned him and went through a rather long checklist of questions before adding him to the list.
