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.

Job was very well completed and I am satisfied with the outcome. The technician was polite and efficient, and the price paid for the service was fair. Before/after pictures are sent by email after completion of the job.
I was seeking a masonry contractor to renovate my front porch and steps.
Our family owner company signed up for this service in hopes of gaining new business, only to be charged repeatedly for "leads" that were not in our scope of work and to which the "credits" were denied for the most absurd reasons. After many attempts to reach our representatives, we were finally able to cancel service and were told we get a full refund. After months of trying to receive said refund, we were told that the refund will be issued as an in house credit, and that Angie Leads will absolutely not refund our money.
Contacted me in a timely manner, they were professional, personable, knowledgeable, great work at a fair price.
Homeadvisor sent 3 names, but only one jumped on phone and contacted me first. Made appt for next day. Because it invovled breaker box i was worried something worst could happen. Now i am not worried at all. Thanks to you.
I submitted my name to HomeAdvisor and was contacted immediately to ask if I was willing to accept a call from a potential asbestos testing contractor. I agreed and the said contractor contacted me almost immediately and scheduled a same-day appointment.
Very disappointed. Neither of two upholstery cleaners showed up. I got no call and the customer service person only offered to rebook another day. This is no way to do business.
We tried to find someone to do a rock wall repair and was unsuccessful. Angi found us several options and the person we selected did a quality job for a reasonable price.
Had quite a few suggested professionals to choose from.
Thank you for your help. Project was COMPLETED but now I would like "Anji" to stop sending me more emails/texts regarding more estimates.
I received immediate responses right after submitting my request. The service provider I selected really did a great job at a reasonable rate.
Within 1 hour received a call from contractor. He was great to deal with and would work with him and home advisor again for other projects
There were simply too many calls asking me for my business. Not from the vendor himself but from Home Advisor.
Solo por que tengo el mismo apellido que otros pro quieren que le pague a otra cuentas diciendo que son mías cuando no lo son. Estoy contratando un abogado para que abra una investigación. No confíen sus datos personales. Aparte te envían leads que no existen y te lo cobran
My experience was great, I requested in Home Advisor with a few details for my job needing completion and within an hour I had several call backs and was able to make appointments for free estimates immediately. I was able to submit to my corporate immediately and get approval to proceed with the job due to the speed in the vendors follow up.
GREAT! Contractor was very courteous and knowledgeable! Explained all clearly! Cleanup was the best! This was a very concise contractor! WE recommend and will use this contractor again!
Very happy with Angi. I can spend hours calling experts with no calls returned or appointments kept. With Angi, experts call me and the jobs are quickly and expertly finished. On Angi I find professionals willing to take smaller jobs.
I used 3 contractors from Angi and each of them were prompt and knowledgeable. I would use Angi again and recommend them for professional service.
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
