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.

Very helpful and reasonable rates we got kitchen and several bathrooms done
Received three calls from electrical contractors wanting the business with quotes over the phone, went with a father and son team, MW Electric in Simi Valley.
Very satisfied with the service and I will use it again for our next project.
I have good experiences with home advisors. Usually they recommend good companies.
Looking for a while house water softener. Submitted my request. Resulted in 5 people in my area. I selected the best rated one. Submitted my request and within a few mins, they called me back. Made an appt for the next day. Very quick, efficient and one stop shop.
A lock repair was done and adjustment to the lock. Luis re-adjusted the lock to line up with the closure so the locks would close properly
Listed what I needed and got 2 calls almost immediately.
Needed to add a supply vent to a closet; took about an hour to complete the work and I'm satisfied with the results.
I have used Home Advisor many times over the last two years. Each time I have been very happy with the contractors I have chosen and the work they have done. Home Advisor is in my opinion the best way to find contractors for work you need to have done. The site does a very good job of finding contractors specifically suited to your needs. I posted a project I needed done and within minutes I was receiving phone calls from contractors interested in doing the work. I could not be happier with Home Advisor and I highly recommend you use their services when needed. I believe you will be just as satisifed as I have been.
Did house cleaning on Christmas Eve was shocked to get some one
Did yard work day before and came back and did the rest when he said he would
NOT totally up front with the cost to the handyman. It cost the person you hire about, give or take, $43.00 BEFORE you hire them. This is the cost just to get your message. Rather expensive. I will not use this service again because of this.
Pleasant and very cooperative people who try hard to satisfy their customers.
Home Advisor is such a garbage company. If you are a small business please please please stay away from doing business with your company.
They offer up bogus leads and products. Take money from you and not give you honest answers to why you are being charged

I have used HomeAdvisor before and have been very happy with their service. When your not from the area, and your looking to turn to someone for help in finding someone you can trust to do good quality work I highly recommend HomeAdvisor.

Selected 3 companies and got calls from all 3 within a few hours. Selected the one that could meet my budget and schedule.
I used Ever Dry in 2015. They have always been there for any problems and my well house foundation has been repaired.
GShock replaced^ GFI outlets and the fee was reasonable Giovanny was prompt and reliable. Could not be happier
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
