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.

I was reached out to on several occasions by one of the team members at Home Advisors to make sure all my needs were being meet as far as remodeling my homes and the right company was selected with the utmost quality that would get the job done at a reasonable cost
1. Roofing
2. New boiler installation
3. Awning
Home Advisor responded to my inquiry promptly with three options to choose from. I hired A R Advanced and they got the job done.
Great. No complaints. The sofa had to be disassembled to remove. They did it very professionally.
Received several potential painting companies after submitting request. Reviewed requirements with 3. Only 2 companies remained interested after we changed request to smaller windows trim/doors only job. Very happy with company that we selected: Painter1.
I could list a litany of complaints. It would take waaay too much time so here are just a few. 1- You call them and sometimes you're put on hold forever. 2-You call them and sometimes their answering service isn't even working. 3- You call them to have a service done and at least half the time a contractor doesn't show for one reason or another. 4- If a contractor does show, they often do not know the details of the job you need done even if you specifically told Home Advisor exactly what was needed. 5- You can be quoted different price structures depending on which agent you speak to at home advisor. 6- Many contractors have complained to me about Home Advisor. Yes, mostly the ones they sent. That's all I can warn you about for now. I do not know how Home Advisor was years ago, but if you want a quality company, this is not the one to deal with.
Home Advisor got me in touch with Home X Construction for my full kitchen remodel. We could not be happier!
I was searching for any electrician in my area and had no clue where to find a reputable electrician. Home Advisor to the rescue,
The work was done efficiently professionally and quickly
Went well, great to find contractor able to start right away
I got a good plumbing firm in a hurry for plumbing issue but I was required to mention other projects which led me to make a mistake and I got a bunch of calls from roofers. I did not appreciate this.
Too many calls/emails and texts from Home Advisor - too much

I received several quotes within the hour after submitting my request - but not too many which can be overwhelming. I hired a painter and he did a great job.
Awesome! Was contacted by a roofer within minutes. Total time from placing request to completion of emergency roof repairs was 4 hours. Great, especially considering it was the weekend.
I needed a window that was broken replaced and the contractor came on time from Atlantic Glass and Closets. He was professional through the whole process. I would recommend them to anyone.
A failure in our house wiring caused several outlets to go dead. We logged this as an urgent issue with HomeAdvisor and were given a thoroughly qualified company that handled the job quickly and efficiently.
Easy site to use and gave us a great contractor to work with
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
