Angie's List Super Service Award winners have met strict eligibility requirements including earning a minimum number of reports, an exemplary rating from their clients and abiding by Angie's List operational guidelines.  Ratings are updated daily on Angie's List, but members can find the 2011 Super Service Award log next to business names in search results on AngiesList.com.
