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
They trick startup businesses into signing up saying their lead (priced at nearly $50 or more) are homeowners wanting to get work done. They don't tell you that you can't cancel after 72 hours until you tell them that every lead was not able to be contacted and that this is not the service that you was pitched. They are a highly skilled scam industry that delivers on none of their promises and the best response they give you is their sorry for your experience. This company is worse than loan sharks and killing small businesses without remorse. Please read their reviews on BBB before thinking about going with this company. I was lied to, and cheated. The "leads" are not checked by the company and they charge you even if no contact is made. Worse scam ever and a crime against businesses everywhere. I attached a screenshot of a "lead" opportunity from homeadvisor, it was actually my husband trying to find our profile on their site. Absolutely outrageous! My husband got calls from other people who are signed up with them who told me that they have had the same experience
Very good communication with worker, I watched him perform work on my vehicle, Jason was precise and thorough
The electrician from Home Advisor was excellent. I put in my request Monday night and received a call Monday morning.
Five stars Would definitely recommend Mountain Valley Roofing to anyone looking for a professional job done quickly.po
Was easy to get pros quotes for tree removal. FAST - N - EASY! Have used HomeAdvisor prior for other job needs and each time it has been of great help.
Great resource for home projects help. Would use them again. And again as needed.
Great - got three leads, interviewed them and selected one of them. Had a great experience with the one I selected.
I submitted my request and within two hours I had an appointment great service
I did not hire the contractor because of Home Advisor. He was doing work in a neighbors yard and I asked him for a quote. It turned out that he was the only contractor that HomeAdvisor could recommend. In fact I have had quite a bit of trouble getting referrals from HomeAdvisor. You usually get back to me with no pros in my area. I am not sure that TreePro is in my area. I would have thought that there was someone closer. You do send me too many meaningless emails.
Received phone calls within minutes of submitting my request.
Home Advisor recommended 3 contractors. 2 provided an estimate. Firm that I selected was very reasonable for the cost. Very satisfied and happy with the entire experience.
I requested local assistance to install TV in my home. Great contractors presented.
Made Contact looking for a plumber to remedy a slow toilet drain. Received various responses. I went with Kuttner Handyman. Was able to come out to the property and fix the problem in a cost effective way.
Did the quick survey on home advisor and got an estimate of costs. Thought that was it and I might contact someone later in the week because it was a weekend. Marquez lawn are called me in minutes and came out to do an estimate. They were very friendly and fairly priced. Worked hard and completed the job in 6 hours.
Our backyard was flooded and we needed two valves replaced. We were in the middle of selling our house and the home inspector was due in 2 days. I contacted HomeAdvisor and Esteban called in less than 1 hour. He came out 2-3 hours later and gave us a free estimate and then was able to schedule us for 2 days later.
Happy that I had an account and was able to produce a quick match for the service that I needed. I was done within a few days. And that was only because I did due diligence to research a far rate to pay. Otherwise, I'm satisfied and going to use this service for other needs.
I was looking for a reputable, affordable and local moving company to move my folks' out - downsizing. Home Advisor gave me a short list of moving companies and a little information about each. They helped do the weeding out when I didn't have the time.
Very easy to use, nice people called and gave quotes... will use again..
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
