GuildQuality

GuildQuality provides customer satisfaction surveys for building professionals. Consumers can read unbiased, detailed reviews from previous customers to verify the quality of the company they are considering hiring. GuildQuality companies also benefit from hearing honest assessments of their projects.

While other online review sites can provide good information, their data often comes from either the happiest and least happy clients. By contrast, GuildQuality provides a detailed survey from a larger percentage of the client base, with a more robust sampling of the overall experience that clients are experiencing. This is an essential process for companies that want to provide a great overall customer experience. dBAtlanta is proud to be a GuildQuality member!

Angie's List

Angie's List reviews the best local service providers and collects ratings and reviews on more than 720 different services. The people who join Angie's List are looking for trustworthy companies that perform high-quality work.

Angie's List members submit more than 60,000 reviews every month about the companies they hire. They include incredible details about how the project went (including cost), and grade the company's response time, price, professionalism and quality of work -- good or bad -- on an A to F scale. Angie's List members will tell you if a crew was conscious of children and pets, cleaned up after themselves or just totally botched the job.

Angie's List relies on its members' experiences, so reviews aren't submitted anonymously. Members' information is kept confidential on Angie's List, but reviews are made available to the companies who have been reviewed–and dBAtlanta (Direct Build) has EXCELLENT reviews!
