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 have never use this service before. I thank God for them and will most certainly use their them again.
Very good once I was able to get the vendor lists from Home Advisors. I got 3 estimates from each type of work to be done and all but 2 vendors responded.
The first call I got was from ALECO ELECTRIC who said they saw my electrical request on HomeAdvisor. They came to do the job but could not complete it but charged me $125 for the service call fee and troubleshooting. The electrician said he was the head salesman for the company and was trying to sale me a full device replacement. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ALECO ELECTRIC TO ANYONE. I then found CIRTA ELECTRIC on HomeAdvisor who came out and completed the job successfully and at a much lower cost.
I thought i was using angies list (now i know they were purchased by home advisor) because i previously tried home advisor and was very unhappy with the experience... this time i was given three qualified vendors and their was no pressure from home advisor itself. The experience was very good.
Quick, easy and would definitely use services again.
We had a marble floor polished and used Home Advisor to find a company to do the polishing. We had several companies to choose from. It was a great experience. The work was done promptly and very neat. We will use Home Advisor again for sure.
My daughter put in the request for an electrician and he called me within the hour of the request.
Requested plumber also but no one contacted me to date.
Quick contact by the sales team and quality workmen to install the project
Wonderful work and quick. He was very kind and didn't charge us anything for his time. It was because it was a church.
Needed my heat fixed and home advisor had me covered. It took less than 5 minutes for AC Rescue to call me after using home advisor. Now that's fast!
We would recommend to anyone looking for a handyman.
Got several names of siding contractors and their estimates within a week. Settled with Renew Home Exteriors and was very pleased with their promptness and professionalism.
I have been a pro with HomeAdvisor for over a year now and it's been very obvious since my account been on hold they're not trying to take it off hold. My renewal starts in 3 months... The thing is my account was on hold for neglected payment for over 2 months. Right, no problem! The 3rd month arrived I make the payment and expecting things to go back to normal. Well, turn out to be the opposite. I called talk to one person and explained, she said I needed to wait at least a week. Okay! Email/Called again after one week, this time a female (val) reach out stating I needed to be pre-screen again in order get the account back rolling. Okay, how long should it take? At least one week. "Oookay". I gave them two extra days on that week. Results remain the same. Contacted them again, and the lady said I see were Val notated on your account about what's going on. Right, so what's going on? The lady says, it seems like everything is good, you should be good to go by Friday. Another week ma'am? Smh here it is another week, so I decided to reach out by review. They should have a better way of restoring someone's account. Easy to sign up, should be easy to restore. Lee's Welding

I was pleased with the number and quick responses to my issue after posting on Home advisor.
They gave me 5 different services, I got a quote from each and chose the best one for my budget
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
