Okay, I've got this idea and since I don't have the time right now to
do it, perhaps someone else will:
There are websites for reviews of all kinds of things--audio,
automobile, etc. How about a site of some kind where people can
rate/review a trades pro? Obviously, the certificates don't really
tell us what we want to know--is he honest or not? Does he/she work in
your best interest or not? How was your experience? etc. If it was
done in a respectful way (with the goal of celebrating the good guys),
it may actually be a legit resource... like the Consumer Reports of
pros... all we need is a flashy name ("Rate-A-Pro") or ("Pro-Rater")
or something and a system where respondants must submit proper ID info
to avoid bogus stories. Any takers?
Peace, Dan

No reason to reinvent the wheel, besides he wouldn't like what he got told
there either.

About fifty bucks a year for membership. That could be easily
worth it, if you avoid ONE bad contractor.
