On SmartCustomer, businesses may not offer incentives or pay to remove reviews. Learn more about our Review Guidelines.
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've used Home Advisor for projects through the years and have always had quality people do a great job.
Great contract with Hildebrand Construction. They replaced wooden deck with trek deck.
Asked for electrician and screening. Gave good referrals that I hired good results.
I needed to find someone to refinish our hardwood floors. I found several options, which included actual customer reviews, on Home Advisor. After submitting my request I received a call from Arbaney Hardwood Floors and within a few hours he arrived to look at the job. I had a quote for the work within a few days.
Was contacted by several contractors before deciding.
I kinda bumped into Home Advisor and initially was apprehensive, but they immediately sent me competitors. I found Eden Landscape to be professional and sincerely interested in making me happy with the end result. I would use HA again.
Very courteous. Gave quick estimate and time for job to be done. Did exactly what we wanted done. I will have them back for all my landscaping needs.
Very quick response to my requests, I felt confidence in the businesses that replied as well
Experience with the roofing company was great. They warranty their work and were polite and professional.
Very professional and courteous. Job was done effectively and in a timely manner. Price was right. Highly recommend!
CTEC made a last minute, special trip to take down my leaning tower before it fell on my neighbor's house. I thought the price was fair and even tipped them for the hassle of working on my time frame. Strongly recommend them!
Several of the contractors recommended for quotes were unprofessional. They either didn't follow up with a quote or couldn't match my gutters. I was about to give up when I was finally paired up with a quality contractor, Mobile Rain Gutters. I think you should do a better job screening your contractors and get feedback on all quotes because you have some questionable contractors hurting your franchise.
Added electric fixtures, fixed existing issues, made existing lights much better, brought things up to code.
I filled out a firm for one painter I never ended up hearing from and got a text from Mike who I had not requested a quote from and then I got several other emails and texts I didn't want or need.
Using HomeAdvisor made the quoting process a breeze.
I had a quote from someone else for $638. These people did the job for $100, were finished in 20 minutes and everything is working perfectly!
First time user who found this to be easy to use and available when I was. Quick responses from the companies I had previously researched.
I would not recommend any businesses to use HomeAdvisorPro. When I first signed up I was told by someone from advisor that you did not pay for leads until the job was completed. After about two weeks I had a charge of $1600 out of nowhere. I talked to customer service and they said that there was nothing they can do since I already had the lead information. So we decided to pause all leads and anything that would charge. A week later and I get charged another $300 for leads that I never received.
Hi Nick, thank you for your feedback and we apologize for any frustrations with the leads. We would be happy to address your concerns as we do have a credit process in certain situations.

The owner was great. Reach out to me quickly, started and completed the project the next day.
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
