Pikes Peak region added to Angie's List

Angie's List, an online source for ratings and reviews of local service professionals, has expanded into the Pikes Peak region. Consumers can now sign up at www.angieslist.com for a free one-year subscription and start sharing information on plumbers, landscapers, handymen and other service companies they’ve hired. The Pikes Peak region was added to Angie's List based on consumer demand. Last month, consumers across the United States were asked to vote online to determine the next Angie's List expansion and of more than 5,000 votes cast, consumers made this area a top vote-getter. "The great thing about Angie's List is that it’s your list," said founder Angie Hicks. "Companies can’t put themselves on the list, nor can they pay to be on the list. Only Angie's List members can put a company on the list after they’ve hired them for a job." Angie’s List will serve consumers in Colorado Springs, Pueblo and the surrounding area, including Calhan, Canon City, Monument and Woodland Park.
