I generally let my work speak for itself and let the reviews take care of themselves. My point is all the reviews that seem unbiased or random are not what they seem. I'm sure if I pay Angie's list my review will seem more enticing or favorable. Searching for anything of importance has become a pain in my opinion. Recently looking for a cement contractor and most of the first listings where 1 800 numbers of business's that subcontract the work out to companies you never heard of. Like they think that because they come up on your search first, they must be the best? Unfortunately, many feel that way. I continually ask friends, patients, and other contractors who they recommend. YRMV.

There is some kind of locksmith around here that has several addresses and phone numbers all under different names. Same people and you can't take anything to them. They have to come out for a expensive service call charge. I looked at some of the addresses and they were apartments on major blvds. They get themselves in the Yellow pages somehow. Never a display ad.
