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.

It seems the leads I get either don't call me back, don't call me, don't do what I ask them to do but only what they want to do and then they overbid for the job like they don't want it.
Contacted Home Advisor on Sunday afternoon. They gave me 2 sources to try, and had a plumber 9AM Monday morning. Representative was understanding, courteous, and efficient.
After getting referrals from local friends, we decided to expand the options through HomeAdvisor.
We found what we were looking for through them.
Sadly, we still have someone calling regularly with a St Louis phone #. Looks like a robocall to set an appointment. The job is already done, and we are very satisfied.
My husband cut the water line to our house while taking out a dead tree. We contacted home advisor who got us in touch with a great plumber who was able to come to our house in 2 hours and repair the water line.
They found a professional tech for me quickly. I was quick and fast.
Overall excellent work experience would recommend their work to anyone
Well mannered and professional employees did an excellent job.
I received a call from a vendor soon after contacting HomeAdvisor
The app is very easy to use and provides an opportunity to provide praise for deserving companies as well as prevent others from being taken advantage of by poorer ones.
Estimate and work completed same day, I got exactly what I asked for, multiple power outlets dropped in the shop work area on various walls, plus new overhead lighting, I can use the whole space now and run all my equipment, no more extension cords.
They did not quit until the job was complete, no payment until it was done and I was happy. Will use them for all my electrical needs in the future.
Used Home Advisor to reshingle a shed roof. They did not make it clear I had to supply the shingles. They charged me $500 to cover a 100 sq. Ft. Shed room laying shingles over the other shingles. It took the guy 1 hour and I had to pay $200 for shingles and nails. Total bullcrap.
Sales guy lied about a special Promotion that they didn't have, he said i only have to pay 300 dlls to get free unlimited leads, which it wasn't true, Im disappointed about the situation. My account was sent to collections for not paying "Free leads'
Serene's cleaning contacted me for my project. Serena was professional and did a great job.
Friendly & knowledgeable. Give them a try. They did a nice job on short notice. I definitely will be using them again
The use of Home Advisor was very easy. However, 1 of the 2 jobs I requested got cancelled. No good process for rescheduling. Just start over or move on.
I am thankful for the help HomeAdvisor had given. It's a little scary hiring someone you don't know to work on and in your home. I am very happy with their rating system and willingness to help us get our home improved.
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
