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 needed some gutter work completed fast. So my brother referred me to Home Advisor, who connected me with Griffin Gutters. I was impressed because I called them at 8pm and someone answered, not a recording. I said wow, these people are open after regular business hours so I was super excited. Here's where it gets good. The next day the repairman came out to give me an estimate and the day after that he started the work and in four hours I had a new gutter. So I say I have a new house because that's how good it looked. The finish was flawless.
We went on-line to find a contractor thru Home Advisor. It was very easy & contractor contacted us right away. Will definitely use again for other projects.
I'm a landlord. Every project I've had, I receive an immediate response. I've built a team of professionals, using Home Advisor. As a landlord, it's important you have numerous contacts, to get a specific job done.
I would recommend home advisor to anyone and everyone who needs a project done!
Home advisor gave a great recommendation and we found a really good company to cut some trees.
I was given several contractors to choose from. The good thing is, I was impressed with all of them. After receiving the estimates, I made my decision based on the company who was able to provide everything I needed w/o sourcing out for service they don't provide.
Had plenty of companies call to give me quotes all were professional
Got a couple of names of contractors, spoke with both and had one come out. His price was very fair so hired him.
Home Advisor was excellent. I highly recommend their services. Vendors were calling me within 30 minutes of my contact with the website!
Excellent! I look forward to using this service again when I need experts!
I got very lucky that HA recommended someone so fast and they came out for such a small price
This is my second project with home advisor and everything turned out wonderful!
Needed to move office furniture. Moving crew was very professional and did a great job.
Great work. I love the finished product. Guy was on time and did a fantastic job
Don't use this company. We signed a contract with Southern Siding & Window Company back in December to change our windows and gutters. The measurement was done in the first week of January. Although I left 2 messages last week, inquiring when they will come back for the installation, I have not heard back from anyone. It is February 13 today. We were told that the whole process takes 3 weeks, Ours has been 8 weeks and it seems that it will be quite longer, We are going to try to cancel our contract with Southern Siding.
I called and a man was here in an hour and a half. Man diagnosed problem with furnace in a short time. It's good he came out. I now know the problem with my 10 year old furnace. Repair part is in route.
I seems that HomeAdvisor vets its recommendations thoroughly. My experience with an electrical team (brothers) is a 5,
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
