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.

I have been a user for many years but find the "new and improved menu driven choices" do not always fit my needs. I would like more opportunity to fine tune my request and hone in on a best provider. Service Pros that we have gotten have all been good at what they do, but I find the ongoing calls and emails from Home Advisor are annoying in the midst of what is already a problem. I would prefer to have a contact that I can call if I need more help and a way to turn off the follow ups when I do not.
Found quality company to do house washing. For security reasons, only gave phone number to companies.
Quick turn around, happy with results.
One plumber told me they did not come into Cleveland to do work (from Medina) and had advised a number of time to not provide their company info to Cleveland area requests. Aside from that all was as advertised.
Bathroom was completely remodeled. From new window to threshold on entrance to bathroom. They finished on time. We're friendly and respectful. Answered all our questions. The price was right. A great experience with people that had pride in their work
I got a good number of Home Improvement companies that met my needs from HomeAdvisor. These were highly rated by past customers. This carries a lot of weight for me. I spoke to someone at HomeAdvisor before selecting my tree care company and after a short professional/polite conversation they put me right through to the company I'd picked. I'd ADVISE others to use HomeAdvisor.
I scheduled a carpet cleaning job and timing was essential. My original booking was perfect, but, on the morning of the appointment, they cancelled. Was a bit angry, but still had a little time so I booked again for 5 days later. On that appointment date, the "pro" just didn't show up, no phone call, email, nothing. I was not only angry, but now desperate. I needed my carpet cleaned no later that 2 days from then. Homeadvisor booked again for two days later. Not to my surprise, that morning they cancelled again. But at least they offered to re-book. (No I wasn't stupid enough to do that). So done with them. If you have an important date and need something done by then, don't use homeadvisor.
Smooth and easy... we definitely picked the right moving company for our long move!
John with Say Win Inc. called the same day and came out later that day and told me what he thought the problem was and he was right. He came the same week on Friday and resolved the problem. I have been ripped off previously with 2 companies and so appreciate the honesty and the fact that he listened to me about what was going on. He fixed the problem and the price was fair.
Offers to bid on my job were opened. Lots of responses. Liked Monica on phone. Trusted her upon meeting her. Other responses were possibilities but knew she would do a great job when I discussed it with Monica. Hired her 2 days later after other bids. Could not have hired better worker. Thanks for putting us together.
I found this site to be very confusing and hard to navigate. I could not communicate with anyone through this site. I tried to call and it did not like my phone number, I tried to use the site and was told that wouldn't work either. I am very unhappy.
I had one company call to do the work and they provided excellent service.
Helped me find a good company for window and solar panel washing
Excellent, Chris was extremely knowledgeable and a master of his trade. I enjoy working with a person who pays attention to detail. He educates his clients regarding maintenance issues that will affect the longevity of the New Door and Tension spring system. The receiver N transmitter color coded eyes and how to adjust.
Great. Country Wide Paving is the choice for me and my best recommendation for paving driveways, parking lots, church lots, etc. My driveway went from cracked and falling apart to beautiful in an afternoon.
HomeAdvisor was fantastic about getting me in touch with a professional who could complete my project and following up to make sure that I didn't need any additional help with getting my project done once I was put in touch with a professional.
Excellent cleaning service provided by Lonnie. Definitely would use him again
Because of unfortunate circumstances, I had to set up use of a plumber and glass replacement projects at the same time. Both pros ended up doing a great job.
I was having a problem with water pooling all over my yard. I found ACR Hauling LLC by using Home Advisor. They did an excellent job putting in French drain to get rid of my problem. I strongly recommend using them. They made sure all was right in the end. Felix Lizasuain
Great person for the job at hand. Painting. Looks good over-all. Steve even went above and beyond to co. E for the job.
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
