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.

When I put the request for a plumber I had 3 calls within 10 minutes. The work was finished that day.
Within seconds of submitting, I received about a dozen phone calls. It was overwhelming. Don't plan to use your service again.
Outstanding service!
Very dependable and quality work with warranty
Excellent, quick and works to bring customers and contractors together.
This is the first time we needed to find someone to winterize a sprinkler system and this was going to be expensive vs. general, family handyman but I was satisfied with the cost and felt easier knowing a professional got the job done and if by some chance there would be an issue in the spring, we are covered. A very good experience overall starting with a phone call and ending with a technician that was very friendly and explained things to my Dad's caregiver.
A good source of quality contractors. There were a good amount of contractors to choose from.
Got 3 company I called set up date for estimate, review them made my choice. That simple
Once I had finished submitting my request for help, I received a phone call within minutes. Thank you for assisting us.
I like the fact that one can describe your job specifically so that contractors knew precisely what the job is, especially if it is a smaller job.
Great Job. Could not been any better. Did what I ask. Very Great Work.
After submitting the needed info for the requested repair I was quickly connected with professionals who could provide the job.
Home advisor called me this morning to see if I had anyone FOR my project I didn't and they refereed me to Stefa plumbing. I really appreciated home advisor checking in with me I am totally satisfied
He was a very good and courteous person good rate and was on time
Contacted HA to remove a large shrub from my house. The job should have taken 3-4 hours. They scheduled a "Pro" the following Thursday. The "Pro" shows up with no tools to complete the job. He reschedules for 9:30am Sunday. He shows up at 2:30 ( it gets dark at 5:30) with no wood chipper or truck. He doesn't finish the job before it got dark. He tells me he'll be back the following morning. He never shows. Doesn't answer my texts or calls for 2 days. I call HA. They schedule another "Pro" for Saturday. He shows up with no truck or wood chipper. He says he doesn't own either. I call HA for a refund. They try to convince me to try another "Pro". I refuse, I've already wasted 4 days on a 4 hour project. They say they will only offer 1/2 my money back because they've sent two "Pros" out to do the job. I told them I was going to dispute the charge with my bank and they finally offered me a full refund. Now I'm stuck trying to find someone to remove a yard full of branches and logs.
Had a great experience with Amy settler that helped clean my aunts house during the holidays when my aunt was not doing well. She even went above cleaning by helping her with putting away her groceries. We couldn't be happier and thankful for her.
I had Clear Choice replace the roof on my house and install a new sky light.
Failed service, overall. We filled in the questionnaire to detail for the fixed rate quote and yet, Home Advisor's hourly estimation was at least 3 times off. The painter arrived, alone, and said he would need an entire additional day (charging us double than the original). We were forced to accept because we were moving in the next day. After almost an hour on the phone, H. A's agreed to respect the original quote but the painter cancelled on us anyhow. We ended up rushing to Home Depot to hire 3 random painters, who completed the job professionally. Will never, ever, use Home Advisor again.
I submitted my requirement, in this case mounting a supplied satellite dish and its protective cover atop our camper, I had a couple of recommendations but either the price or time frame was unsuitable for our needs. Ken was just terrific with his knowledge and expertise, and the end cost was about half of the other quotes.
Overall a happy experience and very easy. We were contacted quickly and that made the job happen.
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
