Back in the day...
meaning 'before the internet'...
it usually wasn't very easy to find a good plumber, tree service, dry cleaners or dentist
especially, if you had just moved to a new location.
Sometimes it wasn't that easy, even if you'd lived in the same city for years.
We can go for years and never need to call a plumber or a tree service.
Then, when we really need one, we're at the mercy of the
recommendation of a neighbor or co-worker or the yellow pages of the phone book.
Most of us don't think to call the BBB when we're knee deep in water from a busted hot water heater.
I think it's great that there's a list you can check, in the time it takes to sort through the yellow pages, to find a good and reputable plumber, landscaper, pediatrician and more services than I can list in this short little post, all complete with member reviews.
It's called, Angie's List. There is a monthly or annual membership fee to use the service. Businesses don't pay, in order to insure a valid and un-biased report of each business and the data collected on each business is certified to make sure it is valid and honest reviews.
