  Getting verbally abused trying to hire an asbestos abatement contractor for popcorn ceiling removal. Can you recommend a good company that actually respects their clients? (Lynnwood area) I've literally just called for a quick quote and these yahoos are unbelievably rude and insulting. Never seen this behavior in regular contractors, must be novel to this field. Can you recommend any asbestos abatement contractors servicing the Lynnwood area that you've personally dealt with? Stories about all experience welcomed. Edit: We definitely WON'T be doing this ourselves. Not looking for tips on DIY, but thanks anyways.

  I have no idea if this will help or not, but I'm a member of http://www.homeownersclub.org/ Work is guaranteed and you don't pay unless you're happy.

  Angie's List - Is it worth it? We're working on buying a condo (it's a short sale, so it's a looong process) that's going to need a little work when we get it. I thought about joining Angie's List for contractor recommendations since Yelp isn't great for that sort of thing. (It's either that, or ask Reddit!) Anyway, I wanted to know if anyone here has used Angie's List, is it worth the money, are there enough people using it in Seattle to make it worth it, etc.? Or, if you've got another suggestion for finding good contractors, handymen, etc., I'd be happy to hear it. Condo is in Magnolia, if that helps. Thanks!

  I've used Homeowner's Club for years: http://www.homeownersclub.org/ Contractors bill through them and you don't pay unless you're happy. They also help settle disputes.

  We were getting a new roof anyway, and the estimator from the roofing company said they had a coupon for Angie's List members--we could save a lot more than the price of a membership. So we joined, and we used the coupon--that was nice. What's less nice is the way that Angie's List has sent us a steady barrage of advertising, coupons, "helpful" tips (mostly connected to their paid advertising), and other crap by email and snailmail, ever since. Their business model and reason for existing seems to be far more about selling ads to contractors and service providers, than about providing reviews and information to their members. A friend recommended the Home Owners Club http://www.homeownersclub.org/ for another repair job we needed, and we also joined that. They're much less slick and relentless with the sales pitches than Angie's list. They're almost quaintly old-school and not all that down with this new-fangled Internet stuff. But so far we've gotten some good referrals, and they've followed up on each job and made sure we're happy with the work. You pay them and they pay the contractor, so I feel reasonably confident that the work will be done right--and if we're not happy, that they'll do something about it. If we only keep up one membership, Angie's List will go and Home Owners Club will stay.

  Nina L. asked:

  Good news: our city house foundation is not cracked. Bad news: it is our sewer line that is backed up into our basement. Does anyone in Seattle know a good plumber?

  

  Peggy S. replied:

  Paris Plumbing. And at this rate you should join Homeowner's Club 622.3500. They will inspect, recommend contractors and guarantee the service. I live for Homeowner's (I live because of them).
