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.

My view of Home Advisor has degraded since they merged with Angie's List. In the past they were an excellent source to find reputable companies to do repairs, hassle free. While they still are a good source for repair companies, they have taken on the "Angie" model of trying to sell subscription services and upsell. The prepay quote they provided seemed a bit high so I decided to hold off and look around. Within an hour a received a call from a local company they referred and went with them, since the price they quoted me was $100 less than the Prepaid Home Advisor subscription price. After I engaged the company they referred, Home Advisor kept calling me to schedule service. They need to close their feedback loop before they lose customer for hounding them after the service has been completed
My experience was good. I submitted what I needed and the results were fast, easy, and I had options to choose from. Thank you.
A/C failed during Heat Wave! Technician contacted and selected via Angi list, arrived promptly, resolved situation quickly. Nice App!
Booked a handyman last week, no one showed up. They made me call the contractor to see why. Of course he didn't answer. Rebooked it for today, no one shows up again. There is no customer service at all, they just say sorry and offer to book it again. Never, ever use home Advisor!
When I first got the companies from HomeAdvisor that did the mold testing, it said to get 3 bids. So, I clicked on 3 of the companies that looked best for us. The one that called me first is the one I set the first appointment with. But then, HomeAdvisor automatically set appointments with the other two companies without my input. When they called, I was already locked into the first company which was going to cost me 400 just for testing. The other companies were going to charge between 400 and 500 for their services. So, I cancelled the two I didn't go with.
One of the companies called me and told me that he has to pay 15.00 for each cancellation. This hardly seems fair to the company since HomeAdvisor automatically scheduled the appointment without my input.
Received a list of area house cleaning services. One responded quickly and was hired after a brief conversation
Very good - gave me a few leads. A few contractors contacted me quite fast.
I found using HomeAdvisor simple and quick. Got responses back very quickly. Good to know that you can trust the pros on this site.

Great job well done great experience with Joe. Would recommend him to anyone.
We bought a new home and I wanted to safely hire professionals. This process was easy and I felt comfortable having them in my home.
Excellent service and work ethics - It was a wonderful experience. Daniel was customer oriented and a pleasure to work with. They did there job well and communicated their findings to me. Daniel showed me pictures of what they found in my ducts and pointed out problems with my dryer vent and fixed it.
I will refer this business to friends and family.
I've used Home Advisor several times and have always had good service from the suggested vendors I chose through them so I would highly recommend using them
Professional, job completed quickly, great customer service as well as a great price
It was fast and easy to explain my needs and the response was fast.
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
