[quote=Anonymous]We've had both good and bad from Yelp. I use Houzz to double check, but not exclusively since they don't seem to ever have bad reviews there. You have to really read the Yelp reviews - all of them. Sometimes a company will get a couple of people to write good reviews and manage to get those to the top of the page, and the overall scoring is kind of weird and not always reflective of the comments. If you look through all the reviews, you can read the bad ones and see what they say and if there is substance there and a lot of the same thing repeated. When I haven't been careful enough, I've ended up with bad experiences that were actually in the reviews, but I didn't check carefully enough. I've gotten my best recommendations from Nextdoor.[/quote]
