Ways to Vet a Home-Remodeling Contractor

Anyone looking for contractor recommendations should check out FranklinReport.com, which compiles customer comments, or Angieslist.com, which charges $5 per month and uses credit card info to prevent multiple reviews from the same person.

If you find a contractor who looks reliable, before hiring him, do a background check. Credit bureau Experian runs Contractorcheck.com, charging $13 for a full report.

Seeking face-to-face personal recommendations is also a good idea.

I think Angies list is awesome.  I have so many customers that use and love it.  We seem to do very well on there - I think we 10 A reviews already.  I'll have to check out Franklinreport.com.  I just signed our company up.  I glanced at it quickly but unfortunately most of the companies aren't listed.  I think Angieslist is safer bet as it has high membership and reviews are strickly reviewed and verified.
