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 pleased with HomeAdvisor's communication and follow up. They checked in to make sure all companies had made contact and offered more names as needed immediately. I had secured an offer within 2 days from multiple quotes.
It was great. Owner was kind and respectable, Call to confirm expected time of arrival, He had researched history of my home.
Professional, reasonable and took all the necessary guidelines during this pandemic.
Home Advisor provided several contractors. I had three call the same day. This is a great resource.
I was closing on the sale of our home and I needed to get a system installed quick. I had several phone calls and emails from companies within minutes. One of the contractors was close to my house and stopped by within 30 minutes. Two days later I had the system installed.
I used home advisor for a bath tiling project. The projected cost was less than half the actual cost. The contractor manipulated the system to get double his fee. Contact with the company was a waste of time. Take the time to find a local contractor and get a firm quote. I paid twice the fee quoted and the contractor did a very substandard job. Stay away!
My experience with home advisor
Would definitely recommend to others.
Got quick responses to an issue with my roof. The contractors called immediately and I was able to select from three options. The service was quick and reliable.
Too many replies in a short time. But, I can choose a proper service company.
Awful.
The contractor ignored request to fix a faulty completed job on siding repair.
The site's Customer service to assist in enforcing the expressed warranty under the contract does not exist.
I received two timely responses from individuals listed with Home Advisor. I went with the first company who called right away as they met my requirements of time to start & complete the project. I called the 2nd person who also quickly answered my inquiry, and told him I had gone with the first one who called. He was good natured about it. I appreciate there was a way to connect with others who could do the job I needed without just taking a 'stab in the dark' on unknowns.
We were prepared to move forward with a contractor, but then got a note about another company. Did not realize that they would be in our price point, and ended up using the recommended company... thank you!
Everyone was great to work with! The shutters look fantastic! My wife is very happy!
After submitting my project on line, I got a call from a Home Advisor consultant within 2 weeks. Once we talked about the job, I started getting calls and messages that continued to come even after I signed a contract. I was surprised at how many companies called me when there are so many that are busy now with home projects.
It only took a few hours to be contacted after I submitted a repair request. I was contacted by phone a couple days later to make sure I found someone to do the work.
Easy to find a contractor. Using the google search sure beats using the yellow pages.
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
