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 was trying to find a roof repair company and getting one to come out that day was virtually imposable. As soon as I signed up for Hone Advisor I had three companies waiting to come out to my house that day.
Thanks Home Advisor great job!
My initial call for getting my gutters cleaned was good but did cost me time. The customer service was great however I was specific regarding I had a 3 level house and the back area was particularly high. HomeAdvisor sent 1 person to do this job and although very nice and knowledgeable it was definitely a 2 person job. So, I had to reschedule which took additional time (to call and set up appointment and required me to be available another day and time). Although very satisfied with the service when I did get it.
I stumbled on Home Advisor by accident and I'm so glad I did. I found a fantastic contractor and I felt like I could trust them because of Home Advisor
I was able to quickly procure a contractor for my project. Home Advisor's service made it super easy.
David and Matt did a great job of painting our house inside and the basement family room and bath.
Thank you for recommending a great service provider. I'll definitely return to use this service again!
I was able to book a simple gutter cleaning and repair job through this service. However, on the day of the service I received notification stating that no one had picked up the job and my booking was moved to another day not of my choosing. When that day arrived I received text confirmation and a name and number to call of the contractor. When he failed to show up, I tried to call the number - no reply and not accepting messages. So, no way to contact the contractor. When I called HomeAdvisor they could not explain whether the guy was on his way and told me I had to reschedule, yet again. I declined because I have no confidence that the job will actually happen.
Wonderful experience with HGH. They are the most wonderful people. And, they refinished my deck as if it were their own. They receive my highest recommendation.
I like Home Advisor because it save me time looking for a service provider, The website is design to put so much details of my project and the result is great, I get call from provider who does exactly what I need to get done. So that is why I use them all the time, through Home Advisor where i get my roof replaced, and plumping work done and yard work done. Thanks,
The site's algorithm drives toward a certain outcome but yard work is so variable that it puts the contractor in an awkward position of needing to renegotiate according to the actual work to be done. Might be better to have certain types of work fall into a category that immediately connects to the contractor to get a better estimate of the work.
I received quick responses and both contractors I hired were fantastic! I also received a follow up call to ensure my needs were met.
Thank you!
Estimates received from 3 sources... One only interested in replacement... Estimate 7x more than requested scope of job $2,300 v. $300... Called two other firms to schedule work at least 2 times each, but neither never responded to do so... Again, probably only interested if other work more lucrative.
Very prompt contact from the company after submitting request for the work. Next day the work was done vey quickly and cleaned up the area very well. Cost was reasonable. Great job.
I'm surprised at how well the experience was! They even called me to give me help!
Looks great did not take long. Professional job price was right
Someone called promptly for the service I needed. But, they bombarded me for other services or other phone numbers of the service I needed. I took the service that called because I already had some estimates and knew a good price. Why should I do the extra calling again? Please stop bugging me with other services I don't want. It's annoying. I will not recommend you because of it. I am not leaving my email again. I keep unsubscribing you! It is an email I use for services like you!
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
