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 job! Everything went as planned. This a service I would use again
I had 4 candidate vendors for an emergency call (A/C unit not working during a heat wave), but only 2 responded. The one selected eventually was very good... punctual, knowledgeable, customer-oriented
HomeAdvisor got back to me right away with three companies.
I was starting the process of looking to build a dream home with a damaged foundation. Home Advisor has been fantastic! Not only did I get a great structural engineer (Richard Motts) but also all kinds of feedback and tips. Home Advisor called to see if I needed anything and took all my information for all the things I might need along the way. When you are starting a project you have no idea where to start, Home Advisor is super helpful!
I'll start right off the bat. My joint business bank account is missing a grand total of $1,287 all due to "client leads". They snuck this out of my account every Friday in random increments (one week was $347, another few were $16) and when I asked for a refund after canceling my account, they said there's no way for a refund. My child went hungry because of this. I will never forgive this company. I never even got to actually use the clients I "got"- they always canceled or never called back! This company is a giant scam. Don't trust them or invest your money with them. Don't make my mistake. I'm lucky to have a family that can provide for me until I sell my business to make up for the loss because of this company.
Excellent, could not have been better. I would contract with them for another painting project and highly recommend their work!
I'm so happy I contacted them. They sent me a couple of great roofers near me.
Very professional from my first phone call until the end of project excellent company.
A small crew of two young men and a woman, very likable and good at communicating plans for the job and at finding solutions for difficult tasks.
They adapted the schedule when unforeseen issues out of their control ensued. Overall a very good experience
Called Home Advisor, explained what I was looking for... I received numerous contact numbers to call and choose. Home Advisor Rep. Called to follow up on the progress of the project. Very professional.
The last couple of times that I spoke to a representative, they were both difficult to understand, didn't seem to have any idea about the membership and when I repeatedly said I did NOT want a phone call from the contractor, but an email, I still received phone calls. When I initially signed up with Home Advisor, it was incredible. I was even told I needed to do everything online, which wasn't the case a few months ago.
I used this service to set up five (5) seperate appointments and all five never should up for the service.
Very polite young man who came save day to give me an estimate and list of materials needed. When I had the required materials, I let him know and he came the next day and repaired both projects in less than two hours. The work was done very well.
Unexpected resolution of flat roof leak repair. Speedy response and execution for the best price and guarantee.
I have never had a bad contractor through this service
Well they got a class action lawsuit when it was called Angi`s list and obviously the same problems exists with a change of name. Two times I used themponce to mow the home on a property in another state we were moving to and it was not done but billed. The neighbor took maintenance of the lawn under his wing thankfully. They refunded money on that one Today we took a day off to allow a plumber to pull CSST flexble tubing infor a propane line and he did not show but we were billed yet again and this time they refuse to refund the monies, you have to give a charge card before work is assigned. Charged then refunded but today no show and billed. I wasted a vacation day waiting for someone who did not show. Happen to be on a golf course and work was being done on the sand trap across from the home. The workers said two people came to the home all day both were USPS, I would think long and hard before using this firm.
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
