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.

I have had good experience with home advisor. I haven't had a whole lot of need for home advisor but now that I needed them, they came through in a pinch. Fast service.
I had two interested companies. I chose the company that available the soonest and was competitively priced.
Excellent very professional and fair price. They showed up on time and cleaned up after the job was complete.
Excellent variety of professionals. The work teams that have helped us are courteous and timely.
I was very impressed with the understanding of what I needed and the prompt response to getting to a plumber to fix the problem!
We'd been trying to paint the inside of our condo for years. I signed onto Home Advisor just to browse for painters, but it was just so easy to find a painter with good reviews, get a quote, and put things in motion, that we now have our condo finally all painted. Such a great process - thank you!
It was good overall and provided me with three contractors of which two provided quotes. Two of the three contractors were responsive, one seemed very expensive and not tuned into what I wanted.
Stayed on top of this job to make sure I was satisfied.
They got a company within a day or so, and I would recommend them to anyone that needs outside work done, we have had sev
Eral people tell us how good our new driveway looks,
I posted my project and they recommended two contractors. I contacted both and neither responded. I doubt I will used HA again. My previous experience was good.
Excellent efficient tree removal service. I will recommend to any potential customers.
My wife went to Home Advisor for a window cleaner and for an electrician to install overhead recessed lights.
Home Advisor quoted my wife a price for cleaning the windows and she accepted the quote. When the window cleaner came (who did a good job) he showed that his work order was for cleaning the INSIDE of the windows only. Of course Home Advisor never told my wife she was only going to get half a job!
My wife got a quote for the recessed lamps and, again, Home Advisor gave her a quote without seeing the job.
She had already purchased the light fixtures and the dimmer switch, which was needed for the location she wanted the switch. The electrician shows up and tells us (what Home Advisor never did) that he would route the circuit another way that would cut his time and therefore allow him to do the work in the time "estimated" by Home Advisor. Of course, that was not the way she wanted the circuit routed and so the cost went up.
From these two experiences, we will never go to Home Advisor again. The workers may or may not be good, but Home Advisor, itself, appears (to me) to operating as a bait and switch outfit.
Pleasant and professional staff timely. Felt comfortable
As always got quality contractors for what i needed
Like how we are called back right away to set up a time to discuss our project and have a number of businesses to choose from
That was the best experience I've had in a long while I would suggest them to any and everyone
Very professional experience and cost effective as well. Will definitely use again in the future
Great service & great recommendations with reasonable timing.
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
