Angie's List for contractors?

[Paul Smythe]

Has anyone ever looked at Angie's list to find general contractors? I dislike any online contractor review site because the reviews can be posted by anyone, but the hope is that Angie's list is able to reduce the number of phony reviews. Has any had any luck finding people on Angie's list?

I've used angie's list to find GCs and other subs many times. My experience has been great. The top players (A rating with many reviews) are typically busy so if you are looking for someone to start immediately it probably won't work for you.

Another thing I like about angie's list is their Big Deals. Sometimes there are great deals, cheaper than what I can get from other sources. I also use the Big Deal price as a gauge when I talk to other contractors.
