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.

Within an hour of my phone call my job was complete. Best service ever!
Home Advisers provided several companies to give me quotes and it was immediately after I contacted them. They followed up with me to see if I needed more quotes. It was a great help to me and I was able to find the right company to complete my job in a very timely manner.
Excellent, gave me a name of a place to get help in getting a new furnace
This contractor gave a reasonable estimate to repair several sections of rusted wrought iron fence. Total professional from start to finish. Honest and dependable. High quality work and excellent welding. I was well pleased with the completed project. I highly recommend this company and would definitely hire again.
Quick response from Home Advisor and a list of potential contractors. They followed up to make sure we were contacted and determine if we used their referrals.
Found a good painter who worked efficiently and effectively. Mark and his guy were polite and courteous.
Easy to request, quick reply with local businesses
Went online for a plumber. Hector was first to call. Hector was great! Showed up same day and was very efficient, knowlegeable, and polite. Price charged was competitive and quality of work was outstanding. Will use him again without question. Redondo Beach, CA
My kitchen lights went out. I needed an electrician or handyman. I went to Home Advisor and entered my information. Within 5 minutes I had a call and I set up an appointment. The electrician from Trubond Electric who responded was friendly and completely resolved the problem. I usually rely on Home Advisor to find a capable and qualified professional when I have a home repair problem.
Helped me hire people that already people know does a good job.
Great work great price very professional. This company is a great choice. Made sure i was completely satisfied with the work.
Home Advisor sent out unlicensed electrical contractor and one without liability insurance. Home Advisor did this twice sending a second unlicensed contractor and Home Advisor attempted to charge for services not rendered.
I do not recommend company because they are supposed to send qualified, licensed professionals.
As soon as I listed my request regarding my repairs. I was contact within 24hrs with reputable vendors.
I had not hired anyone to do windows before. Did not know how to find someone & what it should cost
So far, in both instances I consulted home Advisor to locate home repair specialists, it has worked out very well. In both instances, the contractor's we hired met & even exceeded our expectations with regard to price, professionalism & precision in executing each project. Home Advisor definitely saved us money, time & stress over finding quality contractors we might not otherwise have found.
It turned out to be very helpful and they did a very good job, and I will hire them again.
Home Advisor is unwilling to apply any pressure on contractors who are not delivering on their contract without the huge pain and inconvenience of hiring an outside mediator.
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
