I think this site is a great idea...we all like knowing what and who we're getting based on another persons experience...so, that being said, on the plus side, I found a great guy to fill in and mow for us when my kids are unavailable..Ryan Neal...very, very reasonable, showed up right away and did a wonderful job..on the negative, I'm still ISO someone to do a deck for us..called 3 people from this site..2 never called back after saying they would set up a time for an estimate and 1 just never showed up...kinda bad business...referrals are pretty important I would think :)
