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.

Great work and I would hire there company again. Very Respectfully and reliable.
For all of the times I've used home advisor, I've always come away with a few vendors to consider, and one that meets my needs and expectations.
Home Advisor found a company that was exactly who I needed for the project.
I received several calls regarding my inquiry - prompt replies. It gave me an opportunity to get several bids and compare businesses.
The crew was very professional and did their job without problems. They did a good job. Would recommend them to family and friends. Would hire them again.
We contacted Home Advisor last evening to find someone to PUMP out our septic tanks. They gave us some contacts that we planned to call today. Home Advisor has called us three times after we told them we are working on it and we DON'T NEED new system, repairs, or anything special. Just a cleaning. They don't get it, and they won't take "please don't call back, we'll call you" seriously. You're better off googling your local service people and calling them on your own.
Quickly found problem and resealed. Polite and well versed
Had bad roof leak after alot of rain. He checked whole roof and said he just needed to caulk the vents. Very pleased with Angi service and it's great to know they had my back.
Very easy to ask for the service I needed. Once submitted, I received a call very shortly after from a contractor. This contractor was hired and turned out to be a fantastic company to work with.
I joined Angi on line and started the process of seeking professionals for a tree job and a rather complex outdoor plumbing replacement. Angi responded immediately with just enough info to get me going with the contacting of pros. I liked the ability to see the Pro's ratings and had access to contact them directly rather than thru an annoying service line. Advisors followed up with calls and emails to add additional info and see if they could help if I was having trouble. All around a well thought-out website and interfacing experience. Much better than your competitors.
HomeAdvisor ("Powered by Angi") left me hanging for over a week before finally telling me they weren't going to do the work I asked for – installing a pre-purchased garbage disposal unit. The process of setting up an appointment was slow. First, I had to fill out a long questionnaire explaining who and where I was, what I needed done and how long I expected it to take. I also had to provide a credit card number. Then I had to choose whether to pay a flat fee or an hourly rate, but they did not tell me how much either charge would be. Then they contacted local professionals to find one willing to accept my offer. A couple of days later they informed me that a particular plumber agreed to do my work. Next, I had to set a time and date. The earliest date available was another three days out.
The morning of the scheduled appointment, I got a text message saying the professional had an emergency call and would not be out that day but would be out two days later. The message did not say who it was from or what the subject matter was. It listed a phone number and I called it. It was not HomeAdvisor's phone. The recorded message said "Thanks for your call. Follow the URL if you want to change your listing. Let us know if there is any way we can help you." The recording provided no information at all about who I had reached. On the day of the second appointment, after the time had already passed, I got another text message saying that the job was cancelled because of another professional emergency.
HomeAdvisor's web site does not list an email address, street address or a phone number. They do not provide any way of discussing an issue with them.
Had large barn doors installed along with all the hardware.
I made an inquiry on home advisor and come to find out they sell your information. I have been bombarded with spam emails since. I don't think that is a very fair practice. Never again for me!
Excellent customer service and superior knowledge that is truly helpful when choosing right professional. Thanks in advance!
So glad that this service exists for free. I was skeptical at first. Got a few quotes. It all went very smoothly. It all happened in 24 hours!
Superb listing of qualified companies in your area
Very good resource for home improvement professionals
I always look at the reviews for the service I want first rather than how much it's going to cost.
There were some great contractors that I hired from HomeAdvisor referral, but others either waisted my time, didn't show up or quoted me an outrageous price. I gave 2 stars because sometimes I have projects that are time sensitive but the contractor doesn't show up and I am left without the service after I made arrangements to be home all day for the project. HomeAdvisor customer service were always top notch.
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
