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.

Had two companies recommended by home advisor come give estimates. Had a third company outside of home advisor give an estimate. We went with Elegance surface concepts. Found reviews to be very accurate. I would use home advisor again.
Recommended company was on time and did very good work at a very fair price
My experience for a first time user of any contractor service is one of the most fulfilling a home owner could have. I recieved more than a roof. I have a lifetime friendship with a man who stands behind his work, crew, and materials.
Two providers responded to my request. One was trying to sell me more than I needed, but Sienna Roofing was the right company.
Great experience, great price. Learned a lot from Randy about what to look for when purchasing a new home.
The guys did a great job. Offered suggestions to improve on my ideas.
Home Advisor helped me find Wilkies Window Cleaning and I am so grateful. Will not hesitate to use them again and/or recommend them to friends.
On a couple of unique projects, we have been able to find the appropriately skilled individuals to complete our projects. Having recently moved back to the area after 30 years, it is wonderful to be able to research and find professionals.
I filled out a quick inquiry screen to request information from a "Jensen Brothers Landscaping" in Sussex County, Delaware. Perhaps I did not read the screen thoroughly, but I don't recall an mention of Home Advisor, or that this inquiry would result in "jobbing out" the project to multiple contractors. I was deluged with phone calls.
I have always liked Home Advisor, but if this is the degree to which they will stoop to solicit business, then I'll go elsewhere in the future. If I am wrong, show me how I could have possibly misconstrued the interaction, and I will retract my comments.
I have always had a good experience using Home Advisor. I prefer it to Angie's List.
I have only used Angie's list and this was my first time with Home Advisor. Thus, I cannot judge more than my one experience which was pleasantly surprising and overall great. I received a call from a provider next day after my request and they had availability within a week with flexible hours.
Easy to access location relevant resources. No spam call after either.
Very good-had multiple estimates... balanced cost with reviews and comfort with workman.
Rep was professional and knowledgeable. Able, to address any questions and or concerns, I may have had.
Home Advisor helped us find someone to do that so we could multiple estimates and hire the best price and insured company.
HomeAdvisor is a scam. It is a very bad company. They are forcing "leads" on you and charging your credit card before you even accept the lead. They have charged me about $1000. 00 in a month and I got ZERO clients from them. They connect irrelevant leads to you to charge your credit card continuously and its not easy to get the refund for bad leads. Even If you get the refund, they keep it as a credit on your HomeAdvisor account and not return it to your credit card. They have the worst customer service. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!

The times I needed help with home repair this company was wonderful. I'm a 77 year old retiree. HomeAdvisor put me in touch with professionals that did excellent work. First Tektronics for my surround sound and TVs. Next Get Coatal Exteriors for my roof, and last Benjamine Franklyn Plumbing for my sink and faucet.
Very positive I used this site and another but selected one of the firms recommended to me by HomeAdvisor. I am very pleased with the whole process
My experience with BEN KEE roofing was very good. They kept me informed of what they were going to do and when. The work was top quality, the workers were very courteous. And the price was right.
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
