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 used Home Advisor (HA) for a handful of projects, luckily for me, with the last 2 projects HA reached out to me following my initial inquiry to follow up with the status of each project. I assume home projects have been kicking off like crazy with everyone being stuck at home due to covid, and I had problems with contractors actually honoring their appointment schedules. My HA Project Advisor was able to review contractors with me over the phone; screening for number of ratings, overall ratings, and locality. Then, my Project Advisor personally reached out to the contractors to introduce me. This HA service led me to the contractor I eventually hired for my project.
Very good work would recommend them anytime. One time clean up as they go no paint anywhere but on the baseboard. Very friendly
HomeAdvisor was new to me, but not at all did they disappoint me. They didnt stop until they found the right person to assist me with completing my projects. Thank you Kim!
Very helpful in finding me an electrician. Customer service was excellent.
Satisfied with work performed; very knowledgeable of tasks involved
They came out within a few days of when I called them to do an estimate and were able to complete the job pretty quickly after that as well I am very happy with the installation job and feel that it was a very reasonable price
I was very impressed with home advisor- they even called me days after the job to make sure I was satisfied.
We needed someone to build a small apartment in our lower level for my elderly parents. We put our information/need on Home Advisors. That very same day I got a call back, had builder come out, talked to him telling him what we needed done. About a week later he gave us a bid and we ended up hiring him. Very pleased with the bid and outcome of our apartment.
I quickly received calls and emails from Irrigation companies.
They are a rip off with No customer help or No contractor help it's all about ripping people off for money and not doing anything to begin.
They are serious about ripping off contractors and taking money they're not even supposed to take and no refunds whatsoever they will hang up the phone and customer service will not call back. The worst experience ever and 30 years of construction.
I have used HomeAdvisor for many types of projects and would give the contractors I found a good grade overall.
Home Advisor set me up with an excellent contractor. They called me to help me set it up and it was quick and easy.
Found a great contractor was reliable and did a great job. Would have never found him otherwise.
I Needed to find someone to pressure wash my home. Site was very helpful. I was able to send a request and the business called me back.
Had wonderful house cleaning experience today. I will keep using their services.
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
