The list was online in 2000 you didn't have to pay anything to be on the List. You still don't have to pay unless you want to. As you say it would bump you up the list but would not get you ratings from your customers. We write this off as ADVERTISING. But it still doesn't write the testimonials, those are from customers. They do not tout one company over another. Dan I was sorry to hear about sell out a few years back, but the list is still viable if people just read it and the letters from customers. Living in Florida was a real eye-opener, I'm still baffled by the number of Painters in the paper that are licensed, when the painters licenses in sumpter county were discontinued in 2007. The fact that so many LLCs are not in good standing with the state, and when we present an insurance with our written bids people a dumbfounded. After 53 years in business Florida was a learning curve. Last point up north you go to JAIL for theft by contractor down here it's a CIVIL MATTER. Len the retired half of IPC
