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.

They were good and asked me if I picked a company, so they were very intintive.
Thanks Home Advisor.
Responded to my call immediately and provided 2 service professionals.
I received perfect information and it was very helpful.
My experience was very pleasant. The young man was very courteous and helpful. He explained the different locks that he was changing.
Just as I said, they talked with me, got the make and model number and failure mode, and came to my house with the drain pump required to fix the washer, and laundry is running again, yeah!
Effortless and professional, would totally call them again
As usual Home Advisor's recommendation was a great one. I've never regretted taking their suggestions.
Needed commercial roof and mason work. Prompt in responding and getting permits. Work completed in a professional manner. Easy to work with.
My roof suffered wind damage in the storm last week and I needed a quick repair done in freezing temps. I tried out HA and within minutes of filling out the necessary online forms I received 4 calls from local roofers. ProFine Construction came over right away to give an estimate and were back in a few hours to do the work. Very happy with the whole experience.
It is very easy to find a list of contractors for jobs by answering the questions asked.
Finding a pro through HomeAdvisor was extremely easy. The pros recommended called me in timely manner and were very polite and professional.
This company went above and beyond creating the kitchen of my dreams. My tiny kitchen was moved to a bigger room in my house. It was a huge job but Theo, the owner, made it look almost effortless... and ultimately... made it so much more than I imagined. Highly recommend this company.
HA gave me a choice of rated contractors within my area. With all the information necessary to contact the businesses. The business was very prompt and professional.
I have worked with HA for my decisions making for contractors numerous times over the years and I am quite pleased with the results of their recommendations.
I previously used Home Advisor in another state and had a poor experience with a lock smith. This go around made up for that.
I opened an account with Home Advisor to accept leads on construction in my area. Not once in 28 days did we receive a lead worth the $100 fee. When I tried to cancel the account - sending emails and leaving voicemails, Home Advisor NEVER returned the calls or emails. Then they send my account to collections for past due. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY AS A HOMEBUILDER. WORD OF MOUTH IN YOUR COMMUNITY IS YOUR BEST LEAD.
Needed to paint 3 outside walls of brick home. Got some references from home advisor. Called Pelican Painters and within 15 minutes got call back. Salesman Rob Valiente made appt to come out and look at job. Decided on colors to use on job and painter was here in 3 to 4 days. David Garcia, the painter, was courteous and on time. Job was finished in 3 days and house looks great.
Basically filled out a form answering the questions asked. Two companies popped up. I hit the "Get a quote" button. Immediately(!) I got a call from Green Oaks Plumbing. This was on Christmas weekend.
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
