"Boyd Property Management did an incredible job installing my new walkway. They came and gave me a great price, showed up to do the job when they said they would, did a great job with the installation, and went above and beyond cleaning up afterward. I am very happy with their work and professionalism, and am going to have them do a patio and retainer wall this spring. I would highly recommend them!"

"This is the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" which will result in me ending my Angie's List subscription. I am sick of buying coupons and wasting my money. I have many expired coupons because what I wanted done isn't covered, or the contractor is too hard to get in touch with, etc,  In this case I thought I'd contact the vendor before buying the coupon.
My neighbor and I share a beautiful 700 sq ft deck in the beautiful South End of Boston. I take a lot of pride in the deck and have put a lot of money into it including the materials we used to build it, sound system, furniture, urban landscaper, etc. I have  a small unit and it is nice that I can do all of my entertaining in the nice weather on the roof. The deck was built by DiPerro Construction who I reviewed on here and I recommend them. 
Lighting has always been a challenge on the roof. My neighbor put up those Christmas led lights on the railing and I really tried to like them, although they were out of place in contrast to the quality of everything else on the roof. There is a very high end roof deck diagonal to us and I liked the uniformity of their white lights --- a much cleaner more professional look, and I decided that is what i wanted. My cousin was visiting and told me those were led rope lights. 
I searched Angie's list for a lighting specialist and found this company. They had a $1000 offer and I thought that was a reasonable price to pay to get adequate professional lighting on my deck that would look nice like my neighbor. Instead of purchasing the coupon, I decided to do the consult first so I didn't waste $1000 like the hundreds I have wasted on other non-used coupons.
When George arrived, he was punctual and nice as described. I told him what I was looking for and we decided that what I wanted was led rope lighting on the railing and led tape lighting on the perimeter. The rope lighting would look like what my neighbor has (nice and white). George said our deck was too big to just use that lighting and we agreed the perimeter lighting would be necessary. 
I asked George if I could get this covered with the $1000 coupon. He told me that coupon was for quick, generic jobs. Typical Angie's list bait and switch, which should have stopped me from agreeing to go forward. 
The quote for the job came to $4200 which was sticker shock. Much steeper than I had wanted, but I convinced myself that it would be my last major expense on the roof and George was a nice guy who seemed honest and sincere and it seemed like he knew my penchant for perfectionism and so splurging would give the roof that "over the top" effect that I like. 
WRONG. The lights were installed on Thursday. The railing lights are yellow !!! They look nothing like the white lights of my neighbor. The perimeter lights are a beautiful led light as expected and are very nice.. So we have yellow on the railing and white below which looks hideous and embarrassing. George said he didn't know why that could have happened since he ordered them from the same vendor. My neighbor and I agreed that it looked tacky. The railing lights don't seem to be adding much light to the deck anyway. I also can't get them to dim or shut off, which I think is a waste of electricity and rude to the neighbors. 
George said he expected my reaction and asked what I wanted to do. Using the led tape lights for the railing would put the project up around $5500, and George doesn't sound very confident on his ability to execute due to the complexity of working around the railing posts. So I said that I would just like to keep the led lights on the perimeter and asked him to remove the rope lighting. 
Final Cost? $3626 That is significantly more than the $1000 coupon ad that brought me to this vendor !!!
I should have gone with DiPierro, but I thought I'd save money if I had bought the coupon.
As I said, I will be unenrolling from Angie's List after this. I really believe in this service, but the delivery hasn't matched the slick marketing. I am sorry and I hope that other people's experiences aren't like mine. Good luck. I really wish you all great success.
