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've used Home Adviser many times & always have had good experiences with the people they recommend.
I started my own business and I had heard about home advisor through adds and alot of other sources. I wanted to market my name and get my business started with constant work. So I made a home advisor account so for the first week I got alot of leads from home advisor and was reaching out to the "leads" that were provided to me. Half of the "leads" that were provided to me were either not real leads or they wouldn't awnser there phones. You pay for every lead they send you and they say you can refund them if you have issues with them but you have to meet requirements of the leads. You have to call them with in 24 hours twice and after that it's along list that you have to do to even get your money back for a fake lead. I wasn't gonna leave a bad review because when I left they were very nice in understanding about it until today I got a call from a costumer service representative saying how it was my fault for the leads not awnsering because I don't have a online presence. He tried to blame me because I didn't have pictures of my work on my account... Let me remind you that I have called people for these "leads" and they say I have no idea what your talking about I don't need a electrical panel installed... So please don't fall for the money pit like I did I lost over 500 dollars from this scam..

Eric gave an estimate and a time frame and the job was well done! He replaced the door with a fake front and secured it so that it could not be broken into!
Electrician was thorough in explaining options. Provided cost info for different options.
Smooth. Pulled up advisor and found a local company to service my AC.
Home Advisor sent me a great company to paint my whole
Home!
The tech was prompt, he went out and purchased materials, it was timely, excellent explanation on what was needed and ended with a job well done! A very good and experienced plumber.
Thank you...
I hired new plumbers, they were effective and professional. I am completely pleased with the experience, I will recommend to my friends and family
I was provided with several quotes and was able to choose between them which was very helpful. It saved me a lot of time.
Fantastic - So glad I did not try to do this myself.
This job was not in my skill set and I really appreciated how quickly the installer completed the job. I expected some site clean up but none was needed..
Home advisor has never disappointed me. I have used them for several jobs and everyone has been professional thus far.
I have found reputable companies and people when I use Home Advisor. I'm so glad that they have taken the time to put together the best of the best so that we don't have to.
Great! Completely neat, high quality well done. Great price. Done in an extremely timely manner.
It has been excellent. Reco. Menfations have led to 2 excellent referrals one for a bath and kitchen remodel and one for a removal of an appliance. The remodels were done with excellent craftsmanship.
The representative phoned immediately to get more information of my project in order to make the appropriate companies' info available to me. He was very attentive and personable.
We had trouble finding a specialist, and HA provided 2 resources. Ivy's was excellent!
Excellent Choice & Help of finding the right company for the job
Quick and easy. Many replies. Home advisor is a very good tool to find pros to start your projects.
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
