It's not uncommon for a Realtor to recommend a painter, or other service provider to clients who have relocated but when it comes to a good orthodontist, veterinarian, or any other service provider outside the world of real estate, I'd like to recommend becoming a member of Angie's List.
Angie's List collects reports with grades ranging from A-F (like a school report card) in more than 250 categories that pertain to home, yard, auto and personal services, such as roofers, electricians, barbers and hairstylists, computer repair companies, plumbers, landscapers and auto mechanics. These reports are consolidated into a database, which is then shared with members.
Join Angie's List (www.angieslist.com) with promo code PIPESJAN by 1/11/09 and get $20 off your annual membership or waive the sign-up fee on a monthly membership.
if you remember to mention my name during sign up, I like M&M's with Peanuts:)
