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.

We monitor reviews for authenticity
Found exactly what we were looking for. The company we hired was professional and wonderful to work with. Will continue to work with the company in the future.
Please, if you don't want your money to be taken away from you, don't sign up. They send you emails with many contacts who never ever respond, and they charge you for each one of them (I think they provide incorrect contact numbers as nobody answer). Keep in mind that they will always charge you for each email you receive, even if the "potential" client never answers the phone or your texts. For every ten clients they sent you, maybe three responds, and they charge you for all 10, Out of those three that responded perhaps one wants to do the job, and in some cases, that single job is so small that it doesn't even cover your trip and time. You can call and explain to the customer service, but nobody does anything to take away all the charges for each one of those emails. Plus you are not the only ones that could get the job as they send that email to many other companies.
Based on my experience and also a friend that signed up with HomeAdvisor as well, we were never able to do a single job and we were charged more than $2000. Even after I called them and told them to cancel, they kept sending emails and charging my credit card for each "supposed" client they were still sending. I put a dispute on the credit card as they never agreed to cancel and now they sent me to collection, something that I will be more than happy to fight! I strongly advise you not to sign up. They will take all your money and you don't get any business.
Thank you.
Eddie.
Searched internet for contractors, but found none who had the interest in my small job.
Discussed with them before they began about my small job, but they proceeded joyfully.
The HomeAdvisor that set everything up was courteous, professional, efficient and prompt.
Fast, efficient response. Work completed within a couple days.
I have some home improvement needs which I've been putting off. Home Advisor helped me get the ball rolling, otherwise I still wouldn't have this work done.
I called several plumbers who each said they could not complete this emergency work for several weeks. Home Advisor provided sources immediately and the work was started the next day. Yay for Home Advisor!
Offered choices, very good price for work done, kept me informed and engaged in the process.
The HomeAdvisor tool worked quite well for this job. Only complaint is with the android phone app. The review window would not allow me to enter information without flipping back and forth on the screen.
Homeadvisor rep reached out to me twice to make sure we had been contacted and the contractor that did the work was fabulous!
I was just exploring options but Home Advisor did a follow up and I ended up getting the job done that I thought would need to wait for spring.
My only issue is that I did not want to be contacted by a myriad of business owners and even after I responded to an email saying I was using someone, the calls kept coming. I wanted a list that I could contact. I did find someone and my job is complete and that is the important thing.
I am very pleased with Victor and Lazo, both are absolute gentlemen and excellent plumbers. They are very deliberate, clean up after themselves, and highly skilled. Cass Plumbing has made a very positive impression with me and are very dependable. Their prices are competitive and they give perks for repeat business. That said, they are my first choice for all my plumbing needs...
Quick response, free estimate and quick turnaround on short notice. Good value.
I contacted a bunch of contractors, and nonel of them were interested. Home Advisor stepped in, and put me in touch with Reyes. They came in quoted the job, I gave them the money for materials, and they started the next day.
I had 3 companies come give me prices.
1 company wouldn't even come out and gave me a price over the phone. - No good!
My job was delayed because of my personal reasons and ELB Landscaping was able to accomadate my timing.
Once the job started, they were here everyday until completion.
Excellent fast service
Reliable, on time with no wasted time
Hired Quality Craftsmen to replace existing shower enclosure. I am very satisfied at outcome. Looks very nice and work person was very professional.
Requested a quote and received a call within 10 minutes. Got a quote over the phone and scheduled repair. Tech charged me exactly what I was quoted. No surprises!
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
