Where to Find the Best Contractors & Vendors

[Roger Doe]

Where is the best source to find the best contractors and vendors in your area?  Where do you go for referrals?

To start the discussion, I'll say that you can go to Yelp and Angie's List for smaller properties.  For bigger properties, BlueBook is supposed to be a good catalog of companies but you have no idea if they are a good company or not.  For the bigger companies, there is not much info out on them since their clientele list is so much smaller so there naturally will be less info out there on the companies.
