I used the Angi site to find housecleaners to do a one time deep cleaning of my house. While I was waiting for quotes from the cleaning services listed, HomeAdvisor called to set up it up for me. They never asked if I wanted them to be the go-between, so I thought I must have somehow selected that option by mistake, but I figured I'd go ahead and try it this way to keep things easy. I had wanted a deep cleaning with rug shampoo and windows, for a 4 bed, 4 bath house that hasn't been professionally cleaned in a long time. HomeAdvisors said it would cost $144. This the Boston metro area and I am used to paying $200 for a *regular* weekly housecleaning. But I went ahead and booked it because I didn't want to put more time into the whole thing that day: I figured the cleaners would do what they could for that pay, and I'd get the deep cleaning another time.

The 2 women showed up right on time, but had no instructions from HomeAdvisor on what I actually wanted done... and they were going to be paid $54 total for the job. I know the companies that arrange things between customers and service workers get part of what the customer pays--that's fair enough. But they were going to take almost two-thirds.

I find this appalling. I went to Angi because I wanted to find real professionals who would do a great job for me, and i was willing to pay for it. But these women were going to be terribly underpaid, AND they were being set up to fail since I wouldn't get the service I wanted (if I hadn't known, I might have just left a bad review that would hurt them going forward). And, I feel manipulated myself, because I never requested or really wanted the service HomeAdvisors provided. There was never even an email from HomeAdvisors putting in writing what I was going to be charged or what their policies were, just a message telling me the job was scheduled--very shady.

The only good news is that that when I called Home Advisors I was able to cancel the whole thing. But I will be checking my credit card statements carefully. I would warn workers not to get their jobs through this company, and definitely won't be going back to either HomeAdvisor or Angi's list.

Wonderful! Mike is a perfectionist and is very meticulous. We were thoroughly pleased with his work and have hired him to do other things at our home. We would definitely recommend him to all of our friends, family and neighbors for any work they might need done. Mike is an honest and fair businessman!

I was contacted by Dependable Garage Door within 5 minutes of making a request on Angli. Mervin with Dependable Garage Door contacted me and gave me a very fair price (over the phone) to replace a broken spring on my 8' high single garage door. Mervin said he could come the next day (Sunday morning) to fix the door. He called at 9am Sunday morning to make sure we were up and ready for him to come and repair the garage door. Mervin arrived on time and completed the repair in less than 45 minutes. Mervin has 14 years of repairing/installing garage doors and is very knowledgeable & professional. After completing the garage door spring repair, he checked the operation of the garage door and made some minor adjustments to ensure proper alignment of the door. I was very pleased with the workmanship and quality of parts used. Mervin was very courteous and I would highly recommend him for all your garage door needs. Thank you Mervin!

I had an estimate from a local company in March. They had not gotten back to me even though I reached out several times. I searched for tree removal and got Angie. Angie promptly sent me 5 different companies. SC3 was to top of the list and within minutes I received a call from them. After they gave me the estimate, since it was within the range of the first one, I went ahead and went with them. They completed the project with in the month. I was very please with the ease in accessing a company through Angie and will use again when I have another project that needs done.

We had tried on our own to get a leak in our roof fixed and failed miserably in our choice of contractors over the past year. We reached out to several contractors who did not return our calls. We paid two repairmen who failed to fix the leak and did not stand behind their work. Finally, a company who only did only full roof replacement suggested contacting Angi for partial roof repair work. Our roof was fixed within 2 weeks. Awesome!
