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.

They sealed my driveway, and did an awesome job, at a reasonable price. Arrived early, and asked for input as the job progressed. I would highly recommend them to do this again!
I wasn't receiving a call back from businesses. I received a call from HomeAdvisor and he told me the businesses might be busy. He made some calls on my behalf and I hired a company.
Very pleased and happy with the work and the time was understandable Concentric the company I used not only coordinated with the other contractors but came when I needed something done.
Excellent experience very professional. Would hire him in the future.
It took two tries to get response. Home Advisors was persistent in making sure we received a response. Three construction companies were recommended but only one responded.
I had a good experience with Helton and crew. Alpha construction. They did a good job on the staining and carpentry. Very hard-working and professional.
Good.
He gave us a quote and that's what he charged.
He's a very hard worker and did a good job.
Only needed list of local Companies (names) for gutter repair project. Contacted next day by HomeAdvisor agent (unexpectedly) with name of Company that expressed interest in my project. Agreed to permit job estimate from same. After deliberating several options over a weeks time, offered job to same Company. Results were excellent.
4th or 5th time using Home Advisor... Always pleased with the results...
Erin and Abe at Home Advisor were both most helpful, particularly Erin. Erin arranged for two contractor appointments. I used one of those contractors.
I did not like getting two immediate email request for payment from Home Advisor when I was going to pay the contractor directly. I paid the contractor the full amount, on the day of the work, and he deposited that check the same day. He could not have gotten his money faster.
I tried to use HomeAdvisor for a week and a half. Wish I had looked at this site before I signed on. I got a total of four leads in the week and a half. Of those four leads only one could be considered viable. I was credited for two of the bad leads. The third was reviewed and I was told I would not receive a credit for it. The lead was for work that I had not listed as one of my services.
After telling them that I wanted to cancel the service I got a call from customer service. I was basically told that I had not given it enough time. I paid $100 to start up and got one lead that may pan out in 3-4 months. They offered me credits, but what good are they if I get bad leads.
If you are a customer looking for a pro, take the time to make sure you are picking the right category for the work you are looking for. Recommend looking for local contractors. They will be more responsive and less likely to blow you off.
Home Advisor made process of finding and selecting a contractor less stressful.
Very good company I would highly recommend you to this company. Very professional
We had a salesman stop in and we told him we wanted to think about it. So the salesman said he wanted credit card info in case we decided we wanted to start. They instantly started charging the card with out our permission and when we refused to pay they sent it to collections
I was pretty specific in what services I was seeking in placing my ad, but because it had the word lawn in it, apparently that opens the flood gates to everybody who does anything with lawns, especially lawn mowing services.
I have used Home Advisor three times to find professional services and have been very pleased with each experience.
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
