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.

Easy to find the help I needed in a timely manner.
After hurricane damage and the insurance inspector, I contacted home advisor. They gave me a few local contractors but was only contacted by 2. After accepting the bid on one the contractor did some preliminary measuring and checking color, returned within a week, and completed the job.
I was trying to find someone affordable to paint my trim, and couldn't. Someone told me about HomeAdvisor, and I found someone immediately. Very professional and courteous. They did an awesome job.
Contacted 5 tree trimmers 1 replied, hell why would you advertise on here and not reply? Really folks
Quick response. Immediate email followed by phone call. Consistent follow up. Good list of candidates were provided. Candidates all contacted me either br email, phone call or both. I felt like I had numerous qualified contractors to choose from. Very Satisfied.
It was an amazing experience. I was very happy with the referrals. They all responded.
A professional was provided very quickly and we were very pleased.
Easy to use and navigate. I got a quick response from contractors.
First providers to respond didn't have good reviews or reviews in line with the work that I needed.
Provider info is sketchy at best. Difficult to check; licensed, bonded, insured.
Multi level of sub-contracting.
I c0ntacted HomeAdvisor and they recommended a roofer. I called them and the roofer got back to me right away. All good
Great will recommend to all friends and family. Excellent customer service and knowledgeable of service
Used a recommended service for dryer vent cleaning but was not satisfied that the dryer vent was cleared of the clog. The service was refunded in full by the hired service provider.
The gentleman asked me what was needed quoted me 1400. 00 plus for half the job, ( for which Home Advisor had calculated approximately 500.00 for the whole job) then he charged me 89.00 for showing up and left. I felt used and dirty. If not for Chuck with Your Plumber I would be giving this a single star.
Had 2 jobs that needed to be completed. I made 2 requests and they responded very quickly and followed-up, very nice.
Quick, professional and easy. I had 2 calls with the roofer and then the job was done.
The technician finished the builder's job and got my home network running.
I have used home advisor twice and both times have been total failures. First contractor did finish job just a month longer than promised and two increases in price. Work was mediocre at best. Second recommendation was a total failure. Work that was done was amateur at best. Job never was finished at what was done was a joke. These companies are not screened they are just on a list. I would find some other place to get recommendations.
They arrived early, cleaned gutters, removed leaves and mowed grass. Excellent work
Excellent experience with Total Home and Lawn restoration. Provided service on same day. ON time, and efficient. Identified problem with lock and soloed by simple reinstalling lock. My first experience withi Home Advisor/r.If other roviders are of the exceptional quality of Total home and Lawn Advisor is indeed a go to place for home repairs.
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
