INDIANAPOLIS, April 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As homeowners
start to solidify their home improvement plans, Angie's List
(NASDAQ: ANGI) is making it easier than ever for them to find high
quality home improvement pros at a fair price.
Distinctive badges have been added to the business profiles of
the companies that have earned the 2016 Angie's List annual Super
Service Award (SSA). The award is coveted recognition for home
service pros who have demonstrated a commitment to superior
customer service to Angie's List members in the last year.
"For the first time in our history, consumers don't have to pay
an admission fee to see who performed with such consistent and
exceptional service in 2016 that they earned an SSA badge," said
Angie's List founder Angie Hicks.
"It's a great signal to consumers that these are companies they
should have on their short list as potential hires."
Other things to consider when hiring include whether the company
has appropriate licenses, accreditation, bonding and insurance; a
well-negotiated contract; and a comfort factor.
Angie's List announced in July
2016 that it had added a free membership tier that provided
access to reviews and all the information within them, which
include the SSA designations. Paid membership tiers offer
additional services and benefits. Since that announcement,
membership has grown to more than 5 million members.
Fewer than five percent of the companies with reviews on Angie's
List meet SSA requirements, which include earning an A grade
average for the 12-month review period, passing a criminal
background check and abiding by Angie's List's operational
guidelines.
The 2016 award badges are displayed on winning company profiles
at no cost to the pros who have earned and accepted the award. The
badges will be on display until January 1,
2018. Companies must earn the award each year based on the
prior year's performance.
The 2016 SSA covers performance from November 1, 2015 to October 31, 2016.
