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 only took 10 minutes to be notified of the participants in my area for my job. Thank you
My experience as a contractor with this Company is that they lie, steal & cheat. They screw Contractors over.
Experience was all good. Will use again if needed.
1st contractor fell through. So I went back in HA and found Surf & Turf and a 2nd contractor. I read a BUNCH of reviews and scheduled with Surf & Turf. I then cancelled the 2nd contractor.
The company Home Advisor connected me with was quick to reach out & to come give an estimate, and the job they did was great. Home Advisor made the process of finding someone reputable very fast and easy.
Very pleased. He was courteous and professional. It turned out better than expected.
I was looking for someone to take on my backyard project. I was able to connect with someone I otherwise wouldn't have been able to connect with. I recommend using home advisor to find the right contractor for your next project.
Needed to replace siding on one wall of home. Precision Exteriors gave me an estimate same day I called and finished job 2 days after materials arrived.
We are very pleased with the work that was done by A1 Experts Construction on our fireplace. Albert Brahaj owner, and his crew, were easy to work with and their workmanship was top notch. His crew is excellent; his cleanup was perfect. 100% would recommend this company...
I was contacted by pros within minutes of signing up and was pleased that the prior reviews were available to me. I am very satisfied with the work that was provided.
They got me a very good company, that I could rely on.
Home advisor has saved my life so many times. All the people they use on certified businesses. Always been very professional and timely.
I have had great contractors with Home Advisors and then not so great. Some especially handymen tend not to show up or call. You really have to look at the reviews carefully before doing a project.
Great way to fing local businesses and compare pricing
I was in the middle of clearing lots of brush and decided that it would be good to have someone haul it away. I found home advisor online and filled out a request. Within an hour I got a call. Within an hour of the call I got an estimate and plans were made to finish the job the next morning. The service was great.
Installed a retractable awning over an existing outdoor bar. Very happy with outcome. Great service, great product, great work.
John Benito has been fantastic. He is prompt, dependable and his prices are fair. He has prepared my lawn for summer, repaired my sprinklers and will be doing my weekly mowing and yard care.
It was quick and easy. I was put in touch with someone about my project within hours and 2 days later job was finished. The professional they sent was on time, courteous and they cleaned up everything when they were done.
Very easy to use. And the reviews they post are great so you actually know what you are getting
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
