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.

Vendors quickly responded to my service request. Quotes provided were professionally presented.
Our condo association needed to replace porch railings on 20+ units and to make repairs to numerous decks.
You first told me that you had someone to put in my door. You even charged me over $500.00 dollars for the job. Than the day you scheduled it for you then changed the date for 2 weeks out. When I called you then told me that was still tentative. I wont my money back.
Please please please avoid them! They will rip off your business they will lie they will bring you garbage leads and never help you. Dont do business with them unless you wanna go bankrupt
Home Advisor is always a great experience, in my experience. I have never been disappointed
Always goodI get estimates fast and I always get good workers and I always get a good price and I've use this about five times already and I am very happy
I was able to investigate and compare companies. Anjie's List made comparisons and contacts simple and efficient.
I got the job finish in a little time affordable price and clean work
We have hired several HomeAdvisor contractors for a new railing, new double-level deck, painting projects, driveway sealing and more. All have been very professional and capable -- at a reasonable price.
I have used HomeAdvisor three times now. It has become my go to for home repair. Old houses need lots of upkeep and each time they have recommended someone I have been extremely happy with the outcome. I am not obligated to use their people but they have been great. After each service request HomeAdvisor checks to make sure I have received quality service and if I have a problem they provide a way for me to let them know right away. HomeAdvisor has become my Uncle Joe every time I needed a service I would reach out to him because he had a friend who either was in the trade or knew someone who was.
Great Experience. Jeff showed up and did not need anything. He brought all his supplies and completed his work quickly and quietly.
Had 4 businesses for contact in minutes, response from one within the hour, work completed that morning
Slab doors precisely measured and hung. Great attitude! So easy to work with as I just had to stay out of the way.
Called on Nov 11. Literally had someone come out same day and fixed my problem.
Good over all but I did not like the extra and hidden charges it was confusing
It was very hard to get it right the doors were on unlevel ground to be straight zimmer Carpentry did a great job.
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
