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 had bad experience with trying to find a range hood vent installer. I used every site and all they would refer is HVAC but that is not what I needed.
Very quick! Within 10 minutes I received calls from 2 service providers. I was able to make a decision in less than 24 hours and get a scheduled service date.
Great Company. A very professional experience. Will use again. Thank you.
Reliable references. Estimate time varies. You can tell which companies plan accordingly to secure jobs a. S.a. P. I recently hired a plumbing company because my main drain backed up into the basement. One company customer service employee told me they could arrive for an estimate in 10 days. Obvious lack of knowledge.
Found several great tree service providers through HomeAdvisor.
Found these people on Homeadvisor and will definitely look to them for any future work. Both Mr. Rooter and Homeadvisor. Very satisfied customer
I recently used Home advisor for a home painting g project and was very pleased.
Very friendly and professional young man. Will hire him again. Great job! Thank you!
Not sure the Member experience is a good value. There are many other sites who do the same thing as Home Advisor without Membership values.
A very solid job done by Charles Napravnik. Home advisor helped me connect to his business for quick easy and affordable repair.
Carpet Cleaning: I requested this service for both my dining and living room combination.
Had no insulation but DID have a vapor barrier. Needed 19 R value insulation installed
Every time I use HomeAdvisor, I get deluged with way too many calls, making it difficult for me to focus in on selecting someone.
Put in a request got multiple quotes. Hired one and done. All good
Very impressed with the contractor Home Advisor referred us to.
The service/sales man was competent, pleasant and kept me informed in a timely manner. Home Advisor was quick to respond with a local referral and has not overloaded my email with repetative messaging.
Took the top name, hired them and was very pleased. HomeAdvisor, I will use you again!
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
