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.

Got exactly what we needed, an unbiased appraisal of floor refinishing companies near us, helpful reviews, contact info. We couldnt be happier with your service and will use it again.
Please with the overall work done. Patch Boys came out quickly and finished the job on time.
Reached out for wallpaper pros and got a number of responses. Very happy with the company we chose.
Thumbs up My job is still not completed but very happy with progress
Very informative in giving me information for contractors in specific trades
We hired two contractors using Home Advisor. The plumber was a good find, the building contractor has been a nightmare. The building contractor left Home Advisor after we hired him because he didn't turn out to be what was advertised. I'm glad he did leave Home Advisor because I just left a scathing review about his company about our horrible experience!
We received multiple options from HomeAdvisor, two came out to do an estimate. Both seemed highly qualified. We were extremely satisfied with the company we chose.
My yard looks great. I have had a lot of people asking who did my trees. And I am recommending this group. They are wonderful and professional
Put me in touch with a good contractor very fast. I found them right on point with getting me assistance.
As for the company as a whole great company as for the contractors that are out there in the world price gougers and frauds
I needed a job done and home advisor was able to give me local business' that could help me. It was quick and simple and they got ahold of me and in two days it was complete
I enjoy working with independent local small businesses. We make all the country work.
Very good experience. I was able to do all on my phone despite my being electronically challenged.
I initiated a search for a plumber via the HomeAdvisor site and was quickly provided with a couple candidates. Since problem was an emergency {I was without water) I went with the first plumbing company that could begin work ASAP. That company, Cass Plumbing, came thru for me and had the issue resolved by the next morning. I plan on replacing my roof in the next 30 days or so, and I will try to go thru HomeAdvisor to find a roofer for the job.
I had home advisor for 6 months. Was more of a hassle trying to get them to refund my money for false leads that didn't pertain to what we do. Was always a issue trying to get my money back from these guys.
Hired Forrest Forestry for a tree trimming job. They did an excellent job. Exceeded expectations
He did an excellent job and highly recommend him. He cleaned the dryer vent and made sure the vent was clean.
I gave my request. George called me. We spoke and set up an appointment to meet with me and my husband the next day. He was on time. He knows Santa Monica. He was experienced with the values of the homes in our area and able to share his work in the area with us, with discretion. He was excellent in communication with us before during and throught the completion of the project. He made constuctive suggestions to the project. Our home is large. He has a large enough crew to do the work efficiently, Excellent crew. He was very patient when we were deciding on colors. Gutters were also repaced. My house looks beautiful
Quick and courteous employees who make sure the job is done right. Ran my cat-6 and took the time to help with an unexpected issue.
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
