"CHECKBOOK's strength is its listings, which name names, some undoubtedly in your neighborhood. It suggests which businesses are worth a try — and which, by implication, to treat warily."
"Easy-to-follow charts map out everything from price and reliability to quality of customer service."
I went to them because they were highly rated in Checkbook. The rating is definitely well deserved. When I entered their office for the first time, they had a copy of Checkbook magazine in the waiting room. That shows they pay attention to what their customers think of them.

Bad work punished. Good work rewarded.

I am a single, female new home owner with a roof leak that became obvious during our recent major rain storms. Mr. ... gave me an honest opinion on the phone (thought it might not be the roof), came over the next morning to do the estimate, and completed the job a few days later...I feel like a genius for finding him--through Consumers' Checkbook, of course.

I hired based on previous ratings in Checkbook. Would definitely use again and recommend.

I just had replacement windows put in. All the firms I contacted were rated well in Checkbook and the firm I picked was fabulous. It's the first place I look if I need something locally.

Leaves Angies List in the dust.

Wonderful service--it's been a lifesaver.

CHECKBOOK provides subscriber comments on their experiences with the firms they use. Please remember that individual subscriber comments are informal. Subscriber comments may give you insight into the types of features and problems that exist in a service field, but are not the best basis for selecting or rejecting a specific firm. To assess the quality of a firm's performance, we recommend that you give more weight to the percentages of favorable ratings. Those percentages are generally based on much larger numbers of consumers' ratings (the number of consumer ratings is noted above).
