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.

The company I had do my project I found on Home Advisor, it showed me that the companies Home Advisor suggests are reputable, and reliable. I will check on Home Advisors again for any future projects. If I had any questions, they were answered. Thanks Home Advisor
We had a large area on our lot which need to be cleared and landscaped. Home Advisor put us in contact with a company, who did the work and made our home site a pleasure to look at now.
I was in need of gutter repair and a painter. Had disappointing results on my own
Very good! I wasn't able to find a contractor in my city but Lilac Awning has a wide service area.
Used Home advisor to locate a concrete contractor in our area. We were new to this area and Home Advisor provided the names of a trusted business in our area with reviews to back up their recommendations.
Septic tank was pumped and line cleared efficiently and my day was much brighter.
Got 5 names, 2 bidders, took the first bid as it was so good after checking references.
Great place to start a search for home projects and get a sense for costs.
Had to call them on the phone to get communication straightened out. They kept sending me several emails a day sometime saying that they needed to reschedule my pro, sometimes saying that everything was set. Very confusing. Then, when it turned out they never did have a pro arrange for me for this job, I told them I wanted to cancel and get my money back. However, they kept insisting that they now had a pro for me and everything was fine. But everything wasn't fine because they weren't scheduling at a time when I could be there. To make a long story short, I was on the phone with them for nearly 30 minutes and I'm still watching my credit card charges, as I'm still not sure whether they agreed to credit me or not.
The job took a little longer than expected but the result was very good.
Have found and contracted with two vendors. Leafy Landscaping and Mr. Soft Wash who were both excellent in service and price.
When they started they made sure everything was good
Having Home Advisor available to find a reputable roofing contractor is so helpful. Finding someone that you can trust is a real plus.
Im glad that I did it, but I am exhausted and it was a lot of work on my part, do it before moving in! I had to remove all window treatments and furniture and dust walls and fixtures and windows. I paid a handyman extra to remove all the base molding and help me with painting afterwards. Also the yard was a mess afterwards. It looked like a construction zone.
After much searching for a painting company we had luck with home advisor finally
I'm a landlord and I have to sometimes have random things fixed up by different properties. It's nice to be able to call one member to have someone help you find the right kind of company for the right job. Not only do they help you find the right company but they gave you several options, and a follow up with you to make sure that that company got the job done right and if you need something else. It was really nice when they called me back because then I was able to ask him about something else I needed to have done and I was able to get that project started right away
I was able to select a contractor with credentials and that put my mind at ease. Not paying a price for the service is a big plus. The one complaint I had was receiving emails that had my texts with the contractor fully displayed which I considered an intrusion on privacy.
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
