I have used Angie's List for about 5 years. We've always been happy with the contractors located through the service. Sometimes we didn't use them (bid too high, didn't do the needed kind of work, liked another guy better) but when we have used them, were happy. We only call guys rated A and close by with a lot of reviews. I think the pay aspect improves the quality of the reviews a lot. This is in Portland, don't know how it does in SoCal.
