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 job was done on the same day I called them. The men were pleasant and professional
A&R came for an estimate, stated that what I wanted he could get done that morning so I hired him. He did exactly what I requested.
Only one all to do the service, but the job is done, I'm disabled and unable to do much of anything anymore
I stated my problem with my refrigerator and had several referrals from Home Advisor. Selected the one I thought would be good and he was available the same day. Fixed the problem all is well.
We recently moved to the area and didn't have anyone to check with about tree removal. After checking with HA they gave some good recommendations. Watson Tree Service was the first one to make contact with us and that proved to be the best bid
Excellent. I am very pleased. She showed up on time and called me when finished
Great response time and professional and reasonable prices.
Needed lots of repair and installation work done. We were contacted by a repair guy in less than an hour. He provided quality and knowledgeable service. Very professional and friendly. Kept us posted on things and cleaned up after themselves each day!
Very easy experience, got several qualified contractors call
Connected to a professional organization right away and things went very smoothly.
Work was done well and on time and very reasonable. Craig"s Landscaping was fantastic!
HA has only been able to hook us up with a preofessional about a third of the time, but then I live in a rural area. Manage your expectations unless you live in a city.
HomeAdvisor gave me a good choice a professionals that specialize in slate roofs.
I contacted Home Advisor to find a contractor to wash my windows. The contractor showed up, washed 1 window and then left without saying a word. When I called Home Advisor, they repeatedly characterized the job as "CANCELLED". Told them you cannot "cancel" a job when the contractor leaves the job site without finishing the job. They refused to provide me with any sort of explanation as to why he left. Later the same day they attempted to set up another contractor WITHOUT my consent or authorization. I would not recommend.
Great and easy. I would recommend to anyone looking to have work completed
My experience with your service was great and I would use you again.
Fue eficaz rapido, he hizo un buen trabajo estoy satisfecho.
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
