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.

Good, once job was approved they were on site within 2 hours. Removed old rotten post, installed newly painted post. Applied another paint coat. Cleaned up site received payment and departed.
Came home to find my water heater (about 20 years old) leaking onto my garage floor. My usual plumber could try and fit me in 4 days later. Went to Home Advisor, found Ben Franklin Plumbing and they were able to replace it that day! Fast, efficient work, following Covid safety precautions. Great experience. Went back to Home Advisor again to find fence guy!
I put in the project I needed done. Home advisor showed me a contractor to check with. I did and got it done in a week. Had to wait for humidifier to come in. Overall a great experience. Not one problem.
It's a great experience every time I''m never disappointed with the service I receive.
Very happy with quality of work and cost. Nice people to work with. Attention to detail!
This was a good experience. Thank you for introducing CSI Home Inspection. With clients like that you'll go far.
Looked for an honest place to have my patio concrete re done. The BoMak Company was everything home advisor said and more.
When the pro I normally use was not available, I used Home Advisor to find another. It was an emergency project to satisfy the requirements of my HOA, which gave me only 8 business days to get it done. (They claim it's 15 days, but they count the time in the mail for their notification letter and they count weekends.) One drawback: After I hired someone, I kept getting calls, including one from a man who was quite irate--he said that there was supposed to be a notification when the job was no longer available.
I started to request assistance and stopped so I was surprised when Frank called. It worked out.
It's all done for you. Just search and read. Excellent service.
Very good options, easy to use, very efficient - except for the fact they won't let me submit the review they asked for with less than 50 characters.
The crew quickly accomplished the tree removal. I would hire this company again for another tree removal.
After calling 6 or 8 plumbers from the Yellow Pages with not a single response I decided to try Home Advisor. The first call I made eas successful and the outcome was most satisfying.
Today October 24,2020, i was running late for my handyman appoint with Mr. A L handyman, he paiently waited for me to come, after i got there Mr. A L got to work on my king size bed, computor desk and a little extra, putting up paper towel holder, i must shout it, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT WORK, MR A L, I WILL RECOMMEND MR. A L AND HOME ADVISOR ANYTIME TO DO A JOB IN MY HOME, YES, PRICE EXCELLENT TOO.
I told them what project I needed done they got me a guy to do the job
Called for someone to give me an estimate on this project a few months ago, couldn't seem to get anyone to do so? Must have been busy? Then finally "Hallmark" was given to me with a call from Daniel and an appointment was set, and the job was done the next day.
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
