You can use localbtc for escrow. The other person will need to create a sell link or buy link. Then you can start a trade with the him. The btc will only be released when you press release there otherwise they will be in escrow. But there is one thing you need to know, if anything goes wrong like he gave you something that you want and you didn't released the btc then the case will go to the localbitcoin support where they ask both of you for the proofs and they then they give you 24 hours time to resolve and then it's upto them to whose favour they close the case. But to be sure it can be used as escrow.

Still be careful. Localbitcoins have some shady staff. Once this staff member named King tried to scam me for over a whole bitcoin. He used my information on local bitcoins to reach out to me on skype, and google hangouts. It’s a legit business, just watch out for the imperfect human that could be working for it.

Localbitcoin is a great escrow service.
It's mostly used to for people trying to cash out or buy bitcoins though. I never thought about using at an escrow service for services, but that's a great idea.
Done hundreds on deals on there and have never had a problems. I will warn you that in the case of disputes they tend to side with the seller.
