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.

Excellent referrals gave me more than one choice. Would highly recommend them to anyone!
Job was done very professionally.
Highly satisfied & would definitely recommend their services.
Home Advisor helped me find a reputable company to rebuild my deck. It was easy enough to navigate and provided great selection.
Two tree removal people were listed. I talked with both and made appointments. One of them told me no longer works Home Advisor. He stood me up. I hired the other company and got the job done.
Very positive- I should have used them a long time ago.
Have used one contractor over 1 yr ago for shower re-model, and now for patio tiles (new installation after taking out old ones.). Both were excellent, eager to please, and quality of workmanship was excellent.
I submitted a request to have someone come out and fix my furnace and received a call within 5 minutes.
Rep was very friendly and helped me find the locksmith that matched the problem
Excellent. American Dream provided the perfect solution
Quick response and follow-up on how things were going. Friendly and helpful.
Home advisors provides me access to experts that I have been very happy with. Better than Yelp to this point.
Using HomeAdvisor allowed us access to contractors we were not familiar with but trusted because of their connection to this Organization. We were rewarded by discovering a great contractors who did a really good job at a very reasonable cost
Good, Change Locks & Made new keys for me. Will use Again! We own this Two Family, & Own another House Too!
All they require is three references and they hire felons. Repeatedly I tried this service three different times and each time the person had a felony record that was recent and multiple times. They would not give me a straight answer. They said well they must not be certified and I said well how do I know the difference? I got no reply. I had them work on a job once before end it was disastrous. I was out $1500 and so I should've known better. It's actually worse not only for the customer needing services but the service providers paying for the leads
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
