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 hired Higgins Renovation to make changes in our newly purchased home, after receiving several payment, not showing up for work, Higgins abandoned the job leaving us with several unfinished projects. Two month later, we are in the process of hiring new contractors to complete the job. Through HomeAdvisor we made contact with 2M Electric Service, Inc. Alisha and team were empathetic and willing to complete the unfinished electrical work. We found 2M to be very professional, timely and patience. There is more unfinished left by Higgins and prayerfully we will be able to find what we need through HomeAdvisor.
They are a pain in the $#*!. Wanted payment before job was done... would not sant to use them again!
My experience with HA has been great and a learning experience too. It's a great platform that allows you to do some research prior to your home repairs or projects. Now, I only use HA prior to anything and get at least 3 estimates and read plenty of reviews. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
Easy and fast process. Numerous candidates responded immediately.
The work was done in very respectful time l can't wait to hire him again
They were very helpful and accommodating. The contractors called me right away to set up a time to come by and give me an estimate. I would definitely call them again for my next project!
The women at the end of the call had numerous dogs and birds in background that it was hard to hear conversations.
I hired a contractor to replace a tarp on my roof to prevent skylights from leaking. I cannot afford repairs to my roof.
Easy to use app with great recommendations. Lead us in the right direction to get the help we needed.
This was a very positive and professional experience!
Someone called and checked to see if we still needed help and we did. Soon after a contactor called. They came over and started the very next day after contacting them. Super easy to understand and make plans with the contractor.
He arrived on time. We walked to back of yard. Looking under deck. Then walk to other side of deck. He found dead cat within 15 minutes.
He asked if I wanted him buried. I said yes. Dug a large hole, put cat in plastic bag in hole, covered him. RIP Big Fluff.
I received 4 referrals within the hour of my submission
The work was done well. From the start a very good material was suggested and I was given a discount if I decide at once to pursue the project. Inspection was done before and after work. They did it on the agreed date.
I would highly recommend DScape landscaping. Tom did fantastic job on cleaning up a large amount of leaves, brush piles and even blew out the leaf filled gutters.
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
