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 they did a great job and went the extra mile
I received calls and got iin-person estimates from several pros. Pro Construction Serivces / International Dry wall did a very good job and protected the appearance of my appliances
First time user, easy to work through and many strong responses.
Had leaky skylights. Filled out form on home advisor and received multiple calls of roofing contractors wantind to do work. Very good overall experience
After clicking the finds pro button. I got three pros lined up for my painting project. I hired a pro from them. He did a good job.
Experience was fantastic with the electrician and his team solving the problem quickly and the cost was extremely reasonable and worth it.
Home Advisor has given reputable, reliable companies to come out and do the work
They recommend the company and then checked back to see how they had done.
Needed a hauling company to remove an old refrigerator. The advisor recommended college hunks. The refrigerator was gone the next day
Men arrived promptly, they were friendly and got the job done in a timely manner
It was not disclosed that there would be an additional 3% added to to the bill for using a credit card
Very happy with the results
The dishwasher wouldn't run through it's cycles. Ricky diagnosed the problem, ordered the part, & completed the repair.
Excellent, Quick response and did a good job. Good communication
I was easily able to find someone close to my area for tree removal. Who responded back to me that morning- instead of having to call different landscapers one by one from the telephone book and playing "telephone tag" hoping one of them would all me back. HomeAdvisor shows the ratings and reviews for each business also... and that helped me greatly in making my decision on whom to choose.
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
