So away to the Member Care Chat we go. Say hello to Cesar, our member care specialist of the day. Cesar was extremely helpful, however, you could tell he was doing whatever he could with the cards he was dealt.
He claimed they were in the FAQ section of the website. Cesar did provide us with pricing and a direct link to a full comparison chart of the membership tiers. This is quite helpful as it lays out the benefits of each tier and paints a very clear picture. Since this extremely useful pricing information and chart were obviously not on the front page of the site, we asked Cesar why all of this pricing and feature information was hidden. As far as the Gold tier goes, you have access to Home Concierge, but we did our research and still struggle to fully understand what it is.
Are we missing something here? Please comment below and let us know if we are being completely ridiculous. But we digress. Business owners or acting managers are required to complete background checks every two years. The checks are performed in the state where the company is located and encompass the following:.
Only top providers that are Certified Service Providers and have an A or B rating are required to pass a background check. Companies that are given a Super Service Award are also required to do so. This means the company owner or manager has passed a background check. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Still, a free membership is enough to gain access to ratings, reviews and business information.
Prices for general contracting work and other services vary based on the type, location and details of the job. You can use the Pricing Guide to get a general idea of what to expect, but the best way to get an accurate estimate is by requesting quotes from nearby companies. Angi works by connecting its members with local companies while providing access to verified reviews and ratings. There are two main ways to find a professional using Angi. Then, I found out that I was eligible for a fixed-price offer.
You may notice that some businesses are Angi Certified. These companies are paying to advertise their services and discounts to members and will appear higher on your search results.
They have also met the following standards:. When it comes to customer feedback, Angi prides itself on offering reviews you can trust. The company says it takes several precautions to ensure that reviews are unbiased including no anonymous comments and feedback verification.

The amount of money that you have to pay to join Angie's List depends on two things. The first is how long you want your subscription to last. The second is the tier of service that you want. Angie's List has three tiers of service — Basic, Plus, and Premium — each offering a different suite of features.
A basic plan gets you access to reviews and ratings for local consumer and automotive services, exclusive discounts when shopping for Angie's List Big Deals, and a guarantee that you'll get a fair price from any business that you look up a review for. A plus-tier account expands the reviews and ratings that you can see to include health and wellness businesses. One of these sites, Service Magic , has a system that matches professionals and customers based on the assignment.
Customers describe their project and answer a few questions, and then Service Magic presents three or four quotes from different contractors best suited for the project.
The quotes are free, but beware: Users have reported floods of calls and email messages from their matches, all vying for their business. Customers can write a review and post it on Service Magic once the project wraps up. The company says that each professional on the site has gone through a background check, in which Service Magic searches for criminal records, bankruptcy issues, bad reviews, sex offenses, and cases of malpractice. If the contractor fails in one of those categories, then it will not be featured on the Service Magic site.
More than service companies were turned down in due to their failure to pass the general background check, according to Brooke Gabbert, director of public relations and social media for Service Magic. Users must create a profile before posting a review, but at no cost.
