Poll question: Angi and other online services
A tide that lifts all boats, or a threat to the DIY mentality? What's your opinion?
The new Angi app is working to make home services easy.
Last week, Angie's List became just "Angi." And the online home services provider has a new app, a new website and new plans to grow by helping home owners take care of their home improvement projects.
In a recent CNBC interview, Angi CEO Oisin Hanrahan spoke of double-digit growth in 2020 and the possibility of making an "incredibly fragmented" category more consolidated.
This week's poll question asks: How would the growth of Angi-like home services providers impact hardware stores? On one hand, more home projects -- whatever the origin, should mean more hardware store action. On the other hand, a do-it-for-me-services movement could erode the DIY mentality.
