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.

In a timely manner, referred a great contractor who came ahead to assess and quote. Within a week, job was done!
He was very attentive. Explained everything. Show me examples. Great listener.
During my 1st call, the agent was totally useless.
During my 2nd call, the agent was wonderful and patient walking me through my desired research!
I needed a patch of bamboo removed and we are very satisfied with the results
I put my project on Home Advisor and within 24 hours Tasha from DeMark's Building Maintenance Solutions called me to get the details and said someone would be by to survey the project and give me a quote. 24 hours later I had my quote, and I scheduled the service. The two man team came and within 40 minutes were done with the exterior. Steve and Ivan were both courteous and professional. I was pleased with their service and will use DeMark's again in the future.
Tina and Michelle had a heavy job ahead of them. They help me declutter and organize. They cleaned with detail and precision and made everything sparkle and smell wonderful. I would highly recommend them.
Got several estimates from professionals. Easy way to contact professionals in the area.
I had my front door sill fixed today like I was very knowledgeable courteous and he cleaned up after himself and the price was very good
Fast and professional. The contractor was very punctual.
Contacted Home Advisor and got a prompt reply. Two other replies a day or so later. We hired the first one.
Home advisor works. Gave good references. Found a fantastic contractor for the work I needed done.
Was pressured repeatedly to sign up and finally gave in. Shouldnt have. I was to busy to accept work from them so asked that my account be paused until I could. They said 90days was the most they could do and had to get high level approval and 30 days was easier so I said fine. Forgot to call back and ended up running a bill up. Called to talk to them and explained I just wanted to cancel my account and that I never used they service and the man on the phone said of I see that. I'll get it taken Care of and close you account. I thought that meant wipe the charge off but it didn't as next thing I know I'm getting bothered by collections. I ended up paying it and just tell everyone I know that they have poor customer service and bad business practices.
Excellent. I was contacted quickly and was able to get the job completed the same week
They scheduled an appointment that their handyman did not show up for. I called and notified them. 2 days later they charged my credit card and refused to refund the full amount charged. I had to find my own professional.

Got a contract that we agreed on and work started on schedule. Rain delay currently but most work completed as expected. Did not ask for any money until work is to be completed.
The pro I chose from Home Advisor was the best- I received an immediate call from Hard Tech and the project was scheduled within the day.
I could write a thousand words complimenting Thomas Bautista on the superior job he did in our home. He is a pleasant man and a joy to have working in your home. He is excellent with the project he is working on and does it with pride. I will recommend him to my friends and family. I know they will be as pleased with his work as we are., thank you for sending him to us.
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
