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 was great. Very prompt. Clean up was complete. Travis answered any questions I had.
It was great, it was a calm and chill experience cause i dislike drama so it went well.
Worked well. Contacted shortly after requesting a quote. Contractor was excellent and a very good price.
Home Advisor referred me to a" builder" to build a surround deck. The price was on the high end but it was worth it to me. He wanted half the payment upfront. Didn't show up for4 weeks. He projected 3 weeks to finish. Well it took 4 aggravating months of calling everyday to see if he's showing up. The screening was totally messed up. Had to pay someone else to redo. When I complained to home advisor I found out his business license was electrician. I trusted home advisor to refer me to the right person boy was I wrong
This is the worst service to use for starting a new business. They take more money then you can actually benefit from. When calling to ask about my statements, I had two reps hang up on me. Not satisfied
I have used the Home Advisor network twice to find contractors for work that we needed done. In both cases, we were directed to really good people - professional, timely, quality work, and quick to get it done. I am very happy with the HomeAdvisor experiences I have had thus far.
I was searching landscape maintenance contractors online for our community. Unfortunately Google search engine sold my information to HomeAdversor. The day before yesterday I got a phone message and email from that Co. They arranged an appointment for me with a Grinate Countertops Co. Yesterday at 11am without my permission. Early Yesterday morning I received text message from HomeAdv. Said "... Countertops Co. Is requesting payment for $1,000.00. Securely pay now with... All in our new Angi app." I requested HoneAdv. By email to remove my information from their platform. Their employee Gelo sent response email to me starting with "We understand where you're coming from." Does HoneAdv. Just against US law and want to show their Hatred and/or Discrimination?
Gordon was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well. We needed a lot of help with the initial installation that was done years ago by another company. We were very satisfied with all the work done by hvac.
Sincerely, Nancy Perlman
Courteous calls and follow-up calls to verify if I needed further updates or assistance.
Easy to arrange, acess reviews, etc. Juan was a great vendor, arrived promptly, spent literally hours working on project.
Your first company suggestion Imperial was worthless, then Mills was very good.
Very very grateful for this great referral finally a very honest professional knowledgeable company and thorough on this job
They promise to refund any bad leads, but after they get your Credit Card they charge you for a lot of bad leads and deny all 100% of your claims for refund. This is a total rip-off - buyer beware!
Tyler was knowledgeable and friendly. Was able to help with a same day service.
Received two immediate responses to my request for a real estate appraisal. Contacted one agency and had the appraiser view property the same day. Received detailed report in two days.
I was having trouble finding someone who would take on my job. The home advisor search helped.
Home Advisor for contractors is a scam to have direct access to your bank account. The leads provided are not qualified and most have just a name and phone number. Each of these unqualified leads I received were over $50 each.
I hired HA to replace the 4 sprinkler valves in my system for a fixed price. As soon as the tech arrived he told me that it was a plus parts deal and he wanted me to go with him to HD to pay for the parts. As one of the valves was leaking and I really wanted to get the job done I agreed. He did a good job on the valves but I was out $150.00 for parts that I wasn't expecting. I complained to HA and was told tough s**t, I requested to speak to a supervisor and was told none were available but that a follow up call would be made the next day. Of course I never received a return call.
I have gone through the HA website and can't find any mention of their fixed price deals being plus parts. I think that this is a scam and have filed a complaint with the Florida consumer protection and BBB offices.
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
