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.

Jordan Lloyd from home advisor was completely disrespectful on the phone. I've used this company in the past and wasted $400.00. Horrible company.
Attention to request was immediate. Selection of companies to perform work was great. Follow-up regarding selection and completion was great.
Charged >PAY* HOMEADVISOR-A 04-29 HANDY.COM NY 4893 DEBIT CARD RECURRING PYMT $19.95" for services NEVER performed. After many email exchanges, no resolution even though they promised to reverse this charge. My next call is to MASS. ATTORNEY GENERAL's Consumer Affairs. Be careful of cheats!
I have had sort of mixed results. My main objection is: that once they have your address, they don't let you alone.
I was out to get competitive bids for air duct cleaning and all of the contacts were reputable and easy to work with. I was able to forward quotes with ease to my landlord for approval. The calls and texts stopped when I asked, so I was not annoyed for days wuth an excess of unnecessary sales pitches.
From estimate to wave goodbye everything about Modern Renovations is first class. You get a great job and make a new friend or two.
Very quick responses and able to get the job done quick and efficiently
Overall exceptional experience. The work was completed very efficiently as quoted.
This was the best experience I have EVER had with a vendor. I am telling everyone I know about this company. They were on time and completed the job exactly as they promised. I have already put them in my calendar for 3 years from now. Awesome!
My experience with this company was very good. Came right away for scheduled appt. Was on time clean polite and professional. Have me a quote and started the job completing within a few hours. Will definitely be calling them again for my next plumbing job.
Found Chris from Arete on Home Advisor. The high recommendations that preceded him, are not exaggeration. You will love working with him and appreciate his commitment to excellence. We wish we had found him years ago.
Using homeadvisor was a convenient and fast way to find the contactator for our painting job. We recommend using it.
Gave a few options. Some never contacted me until after I hired someone. If they would have contacted me a little quicker, they may have been the one to get the job
New ductwork for a new range hood fan, took out over the stove microwave and saw no duct work was there for exhaust fan. Builder did not install one.
Recommendations from HomeAdvisor has made it easy to pick a contractor from a list of approved and satisfied customers.
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
