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.

Richard was so helpful, friendly and professional and guided our process effectively
I thought I could do it myself but quickly decided I did not have the patience or knowledge to complete the task.
HBC is a great company owned by 2 brothers and has been in business for 25 years. They were quick with a quote after they got up on the roof and took pictures so I could see all the repairs that were needed. Two days later they did the work, were on time and again sent me pictures after the repair. I would highly recommend them! ( They also were very courteous and personable which I really appreciated.
I requested quotes for several different projects. HomeAdvisor followed up on everything. Nice to know companies still value customer service, even in this crazy pandemic.
Easy to navigate, get quotes, pick the service that works best for you!
I've use this company before mostly because the contractors are Licensed and Insured and I choose them due to the good ratings that are posted.
HomeAdviser gave me the name of a few companies I could use for my project. They helped set me up with Los Tres Reyes. They came the same day, did an excellent job and I would definitely recommend them.
Hired painter from your site. Got 3 quotes. Picked last 1 & extremely pleased!
My dog destroyed 4 of my carpeted stairs. Thank goodness I had stored leftover carpet in my basement. Tony patched & replaced the carpet, you'd never know what my evil dog had done.
I saved money going through home advisor and the work was of good quality. I would recommend them to anyone and I'm very satisfied.
Couldn't get through on phone once appointment was made. My contact info shotgunned to multiple contractors
The referral was great. The first company referred to me was perfect so I hired them immediately.
Home advisor and sites like this are a very useful tool for locating and vetting home related contracting services. Highly recommended.
I received a call within 5 min. The appointment was set within a couple of days. The owner on time and professional.
We received information right away after describing the tasks needed. We were connected right away with the company we used. Everything was fast and the service was simple! (Didn't need to fill out pages and pages of questionnaires before being directed to pre-approved companies)!
In addition to installing the new exterior door, door frame & areas around the patio needed to be replaced & painted.
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
