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 looking for someone to do some small jobs. I had calls from various contractors, as if I had a HUGE building or complex to paint. All I had was the top of a small shower a lock on a door to replace and a small hole in a screen to patch. I had the materials. I told Home Advisor what I had., somehow that was blown up, and I was called by many people who then were irritated because they were charged (125.00) dollars for the referral. I am very much afraid to use Home advisor again
Checked with Home Advisor on various vendors. Found an affordable great one and proceeded.
I was looking for a licensed plumber who can check and certify the work done by someone else (my general contractor) because of township inspection. The work itself was good, but no one was willing to take a risk of accepting possible work failure done by others... so I was furiously looking for one. Then, Home Advisor found one for me. The plumber was amazing! He did much more than I anticipated. Thank you, Home Advisor!
We had a dishwasher issue in our kitchen last summer. We had insurance and several contractors working to fix our home. In order to finish the remodel of our kitchen, we needed painting in the kitchen but also in all the other rooms in our lower level. PRIDE PAINTING made our project end on a good note. He was the last guy in the house and pulled it all together to complete the look in our home.
The site is fairly easy to use; sometimes it is difficult to navigate to exactly what you want. What i like is the ability for multiple quotes and ease of paying
Great companies were recommended. We chose the best for us.
It could not find pro's for like a week, the one pro that came up was Renaissance men... and they are great.
The request form popped up and I didn't realize what I was completely at first, but I appreciated that my info was only given to 2 people so I was not flooded with spam calls.
Great experience. We were able to get a company scheduled right away. The only downside is there is no disclaimer or info provided so we understood that Home Advisor/Angie's List charges a fee to every company we ask for an estimate from. I never would have requested four companies of estimates had I known- it isn't fair to the companies.
Excellent! There's really not much more I can say about it.
Arrived on time, very professional. There were 5 workers worked diligently for 4 hours.
Thanks to Homeadvisor I was able to fix a leaky dishwasher that has plauged my home for 4 years.
I put in my request and Homeadvisor found me the right man/company for the job. I am highly satisfied with the workmanship, price, and results. Thank-You Homeadvisor.:-)
Very simple to use and had several suppliers contact me.
Well-pleased. They were courteous, efficient and very helpful with color selection and adding knobs and drawer pulls. Quality of workmanship surpassed our expectations.
Contacted Home advisor on line. Had repair call in 20 minutes on a Saturday.
Work was done by ambitious young men that did more than expected. Great guys doing a great job. Put a sign on my lawn to advertise if you wish. I'm a very happy customer.
They cancelled an emergency appointment twice within an hour of the scheduled time. Horrible customer service.
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
