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 spent an hour trying to leave a review.
Absolutely terrible web site!
I called Home Advisor on Friday concerning my refrigerator. It was not working at all, so I conveyed some urgency. They told me I could get an appointment on Saturday morning. I gave them my credit card info, and was eventually contacted Friday afternoon by a contractor who said he would be here at 9:00 am Saturday morning. He texted me later Friday night asking for more info and I sent it to him. On Saturday morning I waited until 9:30am and tried to text Ricardo. The text number was shut down. Then I called H. A. They had no idea where Ricardo was and could not contact him. I called H. A. again an hour later and he was a no-show. They set up an appointment for me for Monday, meanwhile, unkown to me they charged me the $223.00 even though they knew the work was not done. I found someone to come on Saturday night, low and behold on Sunday, I checked my account! When I called for an explanation, they refunded my money, though I won't receive it for days, and am now stuck having to buy a new frige. When I expressed the lack of customer service the agent, Mike Leeds, hung up on me. I couldn't review on their website because Ricardo was an independent contractor. This was stress I did not need on top of all my food going bad.

I called 3 other landscaping companies, with no replies back and no luck. I decided to use HOME ADVISORS and through them I immediately found the best guy and he came right away! I will always use Home Advisors first now, you can trust them and who they recommend.
I was looking for gutters and filled out a request for quote on the what I thought was the contractors page. It turned out to be Home Advisors. When I got the email I canceled the request but within 30 minutes a contractor contacted me. I ended up using the contractor who did a good job installing gutters. However, I had bad experience with Home Advisor on a block wall project. We have had a lot of projects to complete in a home we just bought. Home Advisor does not add value to the process. It's better to look under Yelp.
Worked fine for me. Your web site and liaison with my choice worked perfectly.
I was very impressed to see they had all the right tools and equipment they were very clean they were really all about safety they did a very good job I recommend them to anyone!
They recommended three trimmers and we chose the one closest to us. Turned out very well, very professional and nice to work with
Multiple pros showed up for the same job, without clarity from homeadvisor

The plumber called soon after entering the information. He came the next day and fixed the problem in a short time at a very reasonable cost.
Earlier today, I tried to submit a request to find matching pros but the system was unable to do so.
Was very happy with the work that was done in my house.
I loved it and double like it! I Had several people calling me really fast. I actually went with the first caller and was satisfied.
Estimate and time was accurate. Fantastic customer service. Highly recommend. Great paint work!
Excellent service, no bad marks i have to say at all.
I have used home advisor several times and have been pleased with the contractors and handy men that I had hired.
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
