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.

Lead after lead false, Lead has know need for service. Lead was looking into services. Take your info without your knowledge and sell that info $60.00 to 119.00. They have sent me over 100 false leads and still keep sending bad leads. The reason i stay with home advisor after all the lies. If you work the opportunities Cost $120.00 However You don't pay if client doesn't accept. These are the only leads i trust after 100 of false leads. Have a Honest 5 star Painting company
I needed to have someone come and let me know if my refrigerator in the garage was saving. Home Advisor estimated the cost at $392 without getting any details or even talking to me. Payment was requested BEFORE I even saw a technician. I was about to get out of the site when I saw "Get your own quote". I selected that and Mr Appliance contacted me. The issue was resolved to my satisfaction but I will not use Home Advisors again.

Our KitchenAid washing machine would not work properly. Looked for a repair person. Was connected to a company within 20 minutes.
If you are a contractor who is thinking about getting HomeAdvisor leads, think twice. You will pay double, because half of the leads are no good and they will not give you credit for bad leads. They have a narrow definition of bad leads. They will throw you a bone, occasionally, to make you think they give credit for bad leads. But bad contact information for the customer is not included in their definition, although they tell you it is. They will not live up to their own definition.

HomeAdvisor made choosing a painter a painless experience. Example to them what you are wanting and when. Immediately they will recommend (3) three top companies to select from. They eliminate the guess work of choosing a quality contractor.
One of the only alarm service companies in the metro area
Very prompt service at reasonable cost
I was looking for an insulation company. The site made it easy to find one. The company I used was great.
Home Advisor is my Go to source of reference for Home projects. My overall Experience has been very Good!
I would definitely recommend using the service and going with the highest rated contractor. My recent Experience with J. Wilson for Countertops was Exceptional!
Of the 5 referrals, I only received 2 back with only one being on paper.
HomeAdvisor has been always helpful offering me with enough contractors, I can compare their experience, workmanship and price, narrow down the best contractor to finish my project. I find it a very good choice to work with HomeAdvisor.
Immediately we received calls from professionals. Home Advisor called us first to ask if they could have people call.
I have had two experiences with HomeAdvisor, and I am impressed, with the quality of their professionals. MGC Electric LLC are excellent electricians, and Sparling/Gale are currently working on foam insulating the crawl space of my home. I am sure I will be back for many more projects.
I had never used Homeadvisor until we bought a new home in the valley. Have found a wonderful, electrician, painter and granite restorer. Great resource!
I am pleased with home advisor and their service. Kashari Welding, LLC is a reputable company. Mr. Kashari was respectful and professional. His staff also demonstrated the companies professionalism. I will utilize HomeAdviosr services for future projects.
I needed to repair my roof, and for the initial inquiry to the vendor showing up to the house with quote was less than two hours. I really like the same day repair.
Arrived on time. Worked quickly to clear trouble. Kept area clean. Cost was reasonable.
I found a heating contractor through this site. Very happy with the results.
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
