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.

Received an immediate text message from the referral and set a time and date for the estimate within 30 minutes of contacting home advisor
Arrow Building contacted me within minutes of my getting on Home Advisor. No one else did though.
Great experience. Fixed all the problems with my garage door opener and door and programmed my phone as well
This guy was NOT an electrician. Admitted to me that he's done odd jobs for friends and family. It took him THREE HOURS to replace an EXISTING ceiling fan. I feel like I was ripped off. 367 bucks... ARE YOU KIDDING ME HOME ADVISOR? AND... When I tried to complain to them yesterday... they sent me an email stating they would be in touch in "under 60 minutes". I'm STILL waiting for that phone call.
An excellent tool and experience. I would highly recommend them to family and friends lookly to get help for home repairs.
They were very helpful. I have high ceilings and needed multiple lights changed. They not only did the work, but provided the lights as well.
Company is professional and priced correctly. The shutters (14) and front porch railing were expertly repainted.
Great experience. Very satisfied. Would use them again
Not spectacular but efficient as they could be considering the scope of the work
This is the only site I go to for my home improvement needs. They have everybody everything you need for your home and yard. This will be the only place I come to for my home improvement needs
I have never used this type service and was surprised by how many calls I received immediately after I placed the request.
Highly Recommend! Home advisor got the word out that I needed some help and a great team, ZH Restoration & Restoration called the very next morning, quoting me a fair price and got the job. Done. Nice!
Every time I need some work done I automatically go to HomeAdvisor. They do all the vetting of qualified contractors and I appreciate that service.
Needed to replace stucco on chimney. Did not know of any contractors, nor did I know what the extent of the repairs would be. Home advisors had a list of contractors in area. Within an hour one contractor called, and by end of day, 2 others had called. I had 3 estimates within 2 days.
This is first time I used your site.and turn out very good.If I have same problems later, I will definitely hire him again. After I put my problems on your site, He contactde me first.He came on time and fixed the problems in hour. It is good experience to me with verg feelings.
The only problem I had with HA was that there were just too many emails and text messages sent at one time. It was troublesome trying to keep up with the many references even though I did inquire about many projects that I had in mind? Before I knew it I had referrals to even the projects that were only in the planning stages (between the Roofers, Deck contractor, Handyman and Floor modification contractor I was looking at $18,000+ in workmanship? Not the kind of money that I intended to spend right away so the roof and the deck took precedence. The rest had to be delayed to next year (2021).
Nice experience. Quick response and easy to deal with.
Excellent. Very professional, good information re: local professionals and specific reviews. Helpful!
Fast Response and satisfied with providers. Easy and quick to find a good pro for your job
No problem, this team did a good job and finished up in anticipated time.
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
