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.

The entire process was fast and I got connected to the right people the first time. I was aware of each step without surprises. Thank you!
I stumbled upon HomeAdvisor not intending to use it. They noted my visit. I received about 15 calls from every type of contractor in the Northern Hemisphere. I did the job myself.
They were prompt professional friendly and knowledgeable of the work they're performing
Home Advisor was quick to send me a list of contractors for the job and one responded right away and I hired them, The quick service was phenomenon.
Service providers responded immediately to initial posting and quote requests. Provided suggestions and answered questions.
Outstanding. Provided many Contracting references for each project. Most of the Contractors received my call or called back. Very pleased with all of the Contractors.
Terrible delays in service due to multiple accounts set up in my name.
My experience was fine. They recommended the pros. I chose 2 to get quotes from and hired the pro I liked.
It was cold in here real cold. I didnt know what to do, I called family no help so I went to Angie's list and I got a phone call in less than 5 min. Now I know where to go for help, I thank you tremendously.
I highly recommend Tomayko Bros. For your plumbing projects or issues. We had a new tankless water heater installed by these guys and they did a fantastic job! I had other companies give me estimates, and they were way out of line. Tomayko Bros. Gave us a fair price and took care of everything. They did a professional job in less time that they estimated. This included modification of the water lines, gas lines, and installing supply and exhaust air piping. I have done this kind of work for over Forty years, but I'm too old to do this anymore (70 years old). These men have the old school work ethics you look for in a contractor, and they love their work. I have two more projects to have done and I will certainly hire them to do them. (Noreen's Husband).
I have used Home Advisor on several projects. Each project was accomplished in a timely manner with exact costs known before the projects began. Very helpful to have known contractors with experience and references.
Found a great referral for Gutter cleaning, replacement, & protection from Home Advisor. I'm very happy to have this service. Thank you
Immediate responses from suggested sites. Surprised by the quality & availability of services.
J&S Drilling was the best customer experience to date. The we're fast, itcurteous and reasonably priced.
I was called by an advisor and assisted with having someone contact me right away to have hot water heater tank replaced. Outstanding service!
Sent people not qualified to do the job. Concrete men did not know how to bid the job and had to have 2 of his friends come look at job. Hired him, but changed my mind after thinking about how he needed help to bid a simple job. I tried to stop another man from coming as he wanted to clean my gutters. I wanted someone to put screens on the gutters and add a down spout. Both he and I were terrorized by HomeAdvisor by constant texts insisting that I let him come. He did not want to come as he knew he was not a match. However, he came, to tell me he could not do the job. Wasted his time and mine. I was charged $245. By HomeAdviser because I did not hire this man. Sweeny Carpet Cleaners did a great job. However, way over charged $585.00. Will never recommend Sweeny. You did such a miserable job in contractors you sent and charged me for your inefficiency.

We were in a desperate situation with the need for help and thru HomeAdvisor it helped relieve a lot of the stress finding a contractor. Just a great experience.
I was skeptical about this site but after finding someone to help me remodel my basement after months of searching I am officially a Home Advisor believer.
It was Christmas Eve and my toilet would not flush. What a nightmare when there are 2 adults and 3 kids with one bathroom in the middle of a pandemic to beat that. I had exhausted so many options and then Christmas Eve morning I reached a very helpful polite gentleman that dispatched all of my information to a 24 hour plumber. I have never been so excited to see someone in my life I don't think LOL. The issue was corrected and I was able to move on and enjoy Christmas.
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
