The company exhibits a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in customer satisfaction when it comes to specific contractors and service providers, who are often praised for professionalism and quality work. However, significant concerns arise regarding the lead generation service, with numerous customers expressing frustration over poor-quality leads, lack of refunds for invalid contacts, and overwhelming solicitations. Many reviews indicate a decline in service quality following the merger with Angie's List, leading to a perception of the company as unreliable. Overall, while individual service experiences can be positive, systemic issues with lead handling and customer support remain prevalent.

I signed up for the expert project advisor service. Initially talked to a rep through text who sent a contractor over to look over my project. Contractor came over and said I should get rates through homeadvisor the next day. 5 days went by and I heard nothing. I texted my rep multiple times and heard nothing. I called customer service, was transferred 3 times and finally told my rep had gone on vacation and they would assign someone else to my project. Another 3 days passed and i hear nothing. Call back, transferred 3 times again and informed there is no record of an account in my name. The rep gives me a number of a contractor in my area. The contractor did a wonderful job but my experience with Homeadvisor itself was terrible.
Several days after my project was complete, my Homeadvisor rep texts me saying he just got back from vacation and he can get me quotes now.
Several problems here:
You don't seem to transfer accounts away from people who are going to be off multiple weeks.
Your customer data seems to be held on different systems that have no way of speaking to eachother leading to me being transferred multiple times and told different things at different times.
Good, I've used this method before and always pleased with the response and referrals.
Simple from start to finish
Contact was made and service completed
Quickly
They do recommend good contractors, but they'll hound you RELENTLESSLY. They'll call & email few times a day, every day.
I feels I got a great deal with the level of professionalism required for the job.
Needed to schedule a handyman for several home projects and this site made it happen very quickly!
Very nice people, very reasonable price, very easy to do with, didn't overcharge me when the job was done.
Having to break up concrete and bricks in my 141 year basement was a chore but no dust. Finished in the time they said it would. Craig was very easy to work with and went above and beyond. Would hire for future work when needed.
I would highly recommend Green Solutions. They are professional and reliable & did everything they promised. Jonathan Akl is a major asset to this company, not only is he passionate about his job; he is just as passionate about is clients if not more. His job does not end after is presentations, but continues even on his personal time without fail.
I entered the usual information I have entered before to request Angi request. After that, everything seemed to go a bit sideways, some contractors called but I did not see their info online and some connections came in an email that seemed to link to nothing. I also got an email that offered a percentage off if I contracted via Angi, but there was no indication who the provider would be - who would agree to that?
The contractor I did choose did a great job and we are doing some additional work in the future.
Only received one provider response. However that turned out to be enough. 2 hours after contacting HomeAdviser with my request the job was completed.
We used this site to find a carpet cleaner in our area and it hooked us up with someone right down the street! We are happy with the services we received and even more glad to help a Black-owned business in our town. Will definitely use this service again!
Shawn was great to work with. His services were very reasonable, and very easy and friendly to work with.
I hired the person I found easily and was very satisfied. First experience with Home Advisor, will definitely go to them first for any needs I have in the future.
Hired handy man who was quick and efficient. Was significantly less expensive that construction company.
Very good experience. Received a call back immediately. I've used Home Advisor before and have always had a great experience with the contractors.
Second time user. Surprise how fast I was matched with service. Very fair pricing and excellent service! Will use again!
Two providers replied first day. I should have requested contact by email, as the phone calls interrupted work. Thought would need to replace furnace. But issue was resolved with a service call.
Answer: We had a similar experience when first trying Home advisor out. They kept taking money out of our account arbitrarily. I finally had to file stop payment forms at my bank. Then they threatened us with extra fees unless we "settled" our account. We have strict DTPA laws (deceptive trade practice act) in our state. I advised we complain to our Attorney General about this. I think home advisor should be banned in our state because of this fraud.
Answer: I didn't, they have been blowing my phone up for 6 month's now and now they act like thier desperate for me to sign with them. I have absolutely no want or will i ever sign with them after i have heard what thier doing to contractors who have a contract with them. I just signed with a family owned reality company and even they told me not to sign and even when i tell home advisor i don't want thier business they ignore my request and still call and now they act like thier a home owner requesting painting but once i get to asking where they live or information all of a sudden I'm being told to do a background check and i sign up for free! But i have to pay a percentage of my leads or size of job something of that nature where i pay them for a no guarantee of work as i see it. I can't trust handing money to a company that's being deceitful in a phone call off the rip! Just be careful i don't hear good thing's about them all over now.
Answer: Fake leads, sends email, text & calls between 20-30/day and charges for each. Even if Contractor doesn't open Or answer any calls! Will rip off contractors about $800/day until they catch it and no refunds! Do Not Use HomeAdvisor!
Answer: I don't know about the house cleaners but, I do not trust the company based on my own recent experience.
Answer: You don't know you have to call home advisor and wait on the phone for an hr until they pick up
