Default Contractors

Looking for some contractors:

Anyone used these sites:
https://trustedpros.ca/
Homestars

Are these good places for trustworthy reviews etc?

Thanks,

Homestars is good. Even gives you the prices people paid for the work.

I found reviews on Trusted Pros for my handyman (who is more than a handyman) and they were highly accurate.

I have also used Homestars with reasonable success

PS Thanks BristolUK - I will try TrustedPros too in future, I thought Homestars was the main one

I take back my post - I came across this the other day. Apparently most reviews are contractor-posted!

Surely one checks out references, not relies on reviews online that are unverified? For a contractor I want to see what they have done and speak to former customers.

Not me personally, but I used to think that Homestars was legit. Not anymore!

I get emails from them, often encouraging me to write reviews.

Perhaps I should be looking for some 'incentives'
