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.

Finding a reliable contractor was easy and fast! Rich called within minutes of my search, and my job was done quickly and efficiently at a great price.
Terry was on time, conscientious, did not make a mess with washer and left work area as he found it, explained what he was doing and did to washer. I was impressed with his work ethic.
Easy to use and helpful. The site allows you to compare prices of several contractors
I described what type help I needed and they email me different companies. This was house painting and it went very well.
Even though i would have liked to have had more responses - at least 3 - both were rapid respondents. Both were Fair in their pricing and knowledgable and honest about the work needed.
Every time I need someone, I get calls right away!
I talked to several companies that explain to me what they did not do, and/ or they did not want to drive very far from where they live.
From contacting Home Advisor to getting quote to work being completed - under three days. Says it all.
Was on time, and completed the job. My oven is now working! Very happy with the repair.
Quick results, several companies responded with estimates which is what I needed
There was nothing good that came from Home Advisor in the 4 months and hundreds of dollars taken from me to generate "leads".
Yes, I received supposed "leads", but they were either competitors phishing for data, or they were homeowners who are daydreaming about projects or trying to get budget numbers.
After explaining to Home Advisor the case with each lead, I was told I was given a credit for the leads I paid for. However, after reviewing my bank account, they hadn't actually credited the leads. They only credited my HA account. Overall, I spent over $350, and wasted a lot of time and energy dealing with them.
Got a list and those called were not available at the time

Responsive. Had several roof repair companies call for a bid. One came out the same day
Job well done. Immediate call back, started the project the next day. Stayed into the evening to get it finished. Will definitely call them next time I need help
Nathan Yazzie was my HomeAdvisor contractor. He is my choice for all future work. Please ask for him. Excellent skills, fast, efficient and cost effective!
We asked for someone to clean the gutters, we got 3 recommendations from HomeAdvisor. Two would only clean the gutters if they were installing leaf guards or new gutters. So we really only got 1 recommendation, but he was good. We had used him before and couldn't find his number so we tried HomeAdvisor. In the past, we have had the same problem with them not recommending the right service.
They charge my card with no service in they tell you soon have that first call that we won't charge your cord until job is done that was a lie a talk to a lady name Laura in she charged my card without no service she's apart of the scam avoid these people do not give them your card number or information

The detail taken and the results for my next pro was wonderful. I always like 3+ estimates. Had to narrow the request since most electricians charge a fee $30-$75 for just an estimate. Thank you
I can't stress this enough, I entered my info, I read reviews and saw their pricing then decided not to do it. I got a couple calls from them afterwards which was expected but now its been almost 6 months and they call about once a week or every 2 weeks. I first asked them to take me off their list, the rep said sure thing. Week or 2 later "hey this is your good friend from home advisor", I tell them again I'm not interested please remove me. Well it's gotten pretty annoying at this point and I just yell at them to stop f%&$ing calling I don't want their $#*! service.

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
