HomeAdvisor (Powered by Angi) Reviews Summary

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.

Clean, prompt and efficient. Home Advisor requests for Reviews frequently send an error message. Thus, no review.

Home Advisor is more interested in collecting money from contractors than they are with customer service for their contractors.
They are always having web issues and the contractors can't get in touch with anyone for customer service. They are either closed or you are on hold for God only knows how long, 1-2 hours is not unusual, as their customer service is ALWAYS experiencing higher than normal call volume.
Great for customers looking for contractors, not so great experience for the contractor and extremely expensive for the contractor. Contractors end up paying HUNDREDS for leads as HA sells each lead to numerous companies. Homeadvisor wins & contractors lose.

Within 10 minutes of checking out home advisor, I had 4 emails, two text messages, and a F***ing automated phone call. Like what the hell?! If you are actually reading this before inquiring about their site, seriously don't bother.

Home Advisors generated a call from one Roofer within moments of the project being posted.
While that Roofer visited to discuss the project and inspect the house, they never submitted a bid.
When Home Advisor followed up, they made appointments with 2 additional roofers. During a phone call, one indicated they did not do flat roof repairs, the other visited twice to fine tune his measurements, then never submitted a bid.
Somehow Alsip Roofing was put in contact with us and had wonderful follow-up. I had discussion with 3 roofers independent of Home Advisors and had one quote. Alsip was competitive and carried through was the others lost interest in this "small" job

Hit or Miss
December 1, 2020

While it was great that Home Advisor contacted me to follow on some home improvement requests, I would have appreciated it more if they didn't call so early as to wake me out of sleep. I would always expect that they would send me their best people, and the plumber they referred me to (Kuttner) was excellent. However, I was very disappointed with their lawnmowing choices. One guy was only 2.5 stars, and when I asked the Home Advisor woman to give me better rated people, she still referred me that person. There was another person she referred me to who did have higher ratings. When he contacted me, he asked me to send pictures of my lawn. I complied. I only live in a small rowhouse, so I have a small plot of land in the front and a small backyard. For cutting & weeding he wanted to charge me $450, which is absolutely outrageous. So, I will try to fimd someone else on Angie's List.
