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.

When you have a home project, its so nice to go to a site that lists companies that are pre-screened and able to do the job. Saves me a ton of time and energy. Great service.
After posting issue with HomeAdvisor the referred company promptly contacted me and the problem was resolved the next day.
Got a good list of qualified contractors, one of which I used.
Did a great job on the fruit trees. He did a great job on the cleaning up of branches that have been removed. I am very impressed with his services.
Was looking for a lawn care provider and was connected with several promising prospects
I used Home Adviser to call a plumber and exterior door painter. Both were excellent and showed up quickly! I use Home Advisor every time i need a vendor.
I have been trying to get my regular fuel oil provider to come to my house since last August. After their second, no call, no show missed appointment I decided to get someone else. Home Advisor immediately provided a suggested repair company with a couple others in reserve. I liked that they didn't make me set up an account - I could search and get results immediately as well as schedule the service. Their suggested repair company was available in two days, the job is done and I'm happy with their service. HomeAdvisor is now in my favorites in my internet browser and I will use them again.
Home Advisor was easy, fast and I received multiple quotes within minutes of my request.
Very pleasant experience. We are from the desert. What we thought were bushes and trees turned out to be vines. Big gnarly vines. The project would have been done in about 5 hours but because of the wind we were not allowed to burn
The crew returned the next day and got a wood chipper to grind up the limbs and vines and burned only what couldn't be grounded
They did a phenomenal job.
"GREAT-EXPERIENCE"... Some times when you are new in the area, and you no longer deal with word of mouth (good or bad experiences) from neighbors or family, you turn to the unknown. I don't like shooting dice with my home projects or my family in general,,, I will no doubt say,, I am very satisfied with Home-Adviser and the contractor recommended...
Website was very organized and easy to use. Found a professional that we were so happy with, we are keeping them in our contacts and I have already personally referred them to others.
My area was hit hard by a blizzard on 2/1/21 that went on all day and night. I was out of town and called HomeAdvisor at 6:00 pm 2/1/21 and set up a contractor to plow my long somewhat steep driveway before I got there. The appointment was booked to be plowed on 2/2/21 by 10:00 am and paid by charge card. All set, or so I thought.
I arrived home at 3:06 pm only to discover the driveway not plowed and I couldn't get in. HomeAdvisor nor contractor notified me via text, message, phone call but they took my credit card payment, and now I have to wait 5-7 business days for HomeAdvisor to process my refund for work they never did. It doesn't get anymore unprofessional than that.
I heard that Home Advisor had a good reputation and I felt comfortable utilizing them rather then randomly looking for someone on Craig's List. I also knew that I could follow up with Home Advisor if there was any issue!
Excellent service. Polite workers.job came our like brand new. Would highly recommended them.
I had a very good experience with home advisor. The only issue I had was: after the question was asked about wanting a flat rate was asked (I said no) I wanted to go back to see what the flat rate was. The rep said she could not go back to retrieve that information. Seems odd.
Outstanding construction contractor referral. Appreciate contacting me by telephone when searching for home remodel contractors.
This is the second time I've used home advisor. Have not been disappointed. I will always call on them to send the best people to do the job. I would recommend Home Advisor to others.
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
