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.

We setup a meeting/quote through homeadvisor, and the "pro" was a no-show, no-call. Then, I logged in again, and selected the next "pro". We hired this pro and got the work completed quickly.
I was very pleased with Mr. Kellum as a skilled professional. I was very satisfied and would hire him again for future projects. I would recommend him highly for drywall, painting, and minor repairs.
I feel the last handyman experience with D & D Fixer Upper was fabulous. I had originally made an appointment with a handyman in Everett, MA but the individual didn't show up. D & D fixer Upper took right over and did a great job for me on February 26,2021.
Another handyman a few weeks ago who is located in Quincy, MA, I felt overcharged me, but I needed to have a mice problem taken care of and they used plywood under the kitchen cabinets and a sticky green foam to plug openings in my kitchen, they bought a new screen door and painted it, which went with the sliding glass door in my living room and they installed it. They also realigned a laundry closet door in my bathroom. All of it was done within about 5 hours. The head man charged me VERY BIG BUCKS$$. I will confess after the fact, I feel the charges were excessive and I won't hire them back again (although I felt his younger partner was a great worker) I felt the head man took advantage of me.
I've been happy with the sources of professionals HomeAdvisor has recommended
I would highly recommend using this service. I was immediately contacted by a representative who was professional and very helpful
Excellent experience from start to finish. I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience. I would use the service again.
I was not there I was at work my son was there when the serviceman arrived at our home and made the repairs. When I spoke with Kevin on the phone he was pleasant and did the work in a timely manner.
Quick response, qualified contractors, reasonably priced. Access to lots of services
Glad I hired them
I wanted to find a local company for the job. And yet, I go calls from several out of state people which I did not wanted to deal with it.
Harsh man Painting did an excellent job. Filling out a Home Advisor review was annoying.
Good, did a good job, the pro's which was log loggers tree service
AdvantaClean of DuBois-Punxsutawney did an excellent job of cleaning my furnace ducting. They were on time, courteous and professional. The cost was very reasonable. They provided answers to all questions and showed pictures of of the ducting. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the work done.
Falcon Lawn immediately called me to set a date for the work. That was very important because so many companies do not return calls.
They arrived on time, were quick and thorough. I would highly recommend this company for any kind of yard work.
2 people called and came to the house for an estimate I picked the 2nd person. This all happened the same day I requested a service.
They gave good info. A lot of good contractors add staid in touch till the job was done
Homeadvisor saves a lot of time and research. I feel they give you qualified selections that you can research on your own to make your own selection.
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
