As the Office Manager of Breton Electric, I am on the computer a lot and really appreciate all the great computer and online tips I get from Kim Komando of www.komando.com. Along with her syndicated radio show and premium services, she offers free emails newsletters (which often include product discounts) and free access to many of the great tips and articles on her website.
She also answers questions from her radio audience on all sorts of topics. Recently, a reader asked how to find a reputable contractor. I was pleased to see that she recommends Angie’s List:
“Angie’s List is one of the best sites to use. Contractors can’t pay to be on the list or submit reviews about themselves. Members can’t submit reviews anonymously, so their stories can be checked. Don’t worry; you’re not identified to other users in online reports.
Contractors who maintain an A or B rating can offer discounts to members, which can save you money. A complaint resolution team from Angie’s List will step in if a home repair job goes sour.
You said that many contractors you deal with aren’t on review sites. I recommend finding ones that are, even if you have to pay a little more.”
