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.

It was great Pat worked my hectic schedule and did fantastic work
Very professional, comes with his own tools, detailed oriented, neat and clean, he cleaned up the whole area when he was done.
Very efficient. I received a call back the same day and had an appointment the following day which turned out well.
Great customer service and overall satisfaction. I would recommend and use this site again.
Home Advisor notified several painters and DMJ was the first one to respond. I was pleased with his offer and accepted it
Fine. However, Home Advisor had my wrong address in your database. It is 9505 Claychin Ct, Burke, VA *******
Home advisor got me in contact with a couple of electrical contractors. I was very pleased with the first one to respond "Hiram Electrical " as he was very honest, affordable send the work was perfect.
I was looking for a painter to accomplish a reasonably big job before the holidays. I had a budget I was shooting for. I was able to find EP Painting who did great job at a great price.
Homeadvisor lies to contractors that sign up and refuses to credit money for jobs charged outside of there area. As you can see from the picture they assigned 22 leads and 19! Were out of my 20 radius.
I went to home advisor thinking this was a legit site with background checks on people, etc.
I have a 3 story home and wanted a professional lighting company to come put up lights for my home and agreed to pay a fee of $246 to have an appt set up with the "Holiday Lighting Company". They told me they booked me with this company and a man reached out to me to find out what I wanted done. Spent at least 30 min on the phone discussing that he would need tall ladders, etc. Then, a completely different person shows up to my home for the job----a simple handyman with a 6 foot ladder only. Home Advisor had moved the job to a simple handyman without my consent. This is dishonest and a total waste of my time and money. DO NOT TRUST HOME ADVISOR! I will never use them again. Also, strange to pay PRIOR to a job being done.
The springs to my garage door broke and required replacement. Door rollers were replaced as well since garage was over 17 years old.
Calls were returned promptly, workers were courteous, prompt, efficient and professional
Enjoyed the professional yet personable treatment.
Great experience... much communication from HA and install contractors.
Work was done well and they stayed on budget. Would recommend them to family or friends.
Home advisor hooked us up right away because we got 4 calls from plumbers right away. That was a little awkward trying to juggle all the calls. I later noticed that I had an email with 4 names to choose from. I would rather do the calling myself. But I would use HomeAdviser again.
Initially had problems registering/requesting services. HomeAdvisor phoned me the next day and I received a call from a contractor a short time later. Only received 2 contacts. Second contact left me a message which I replied to and I never heard from him again. HomeAdvisor should weed those contractors out. I can find unreliable contractors on my own, the reason people use services like HomeAdvisor is to avoid timewasting inconsiderate contractors. We believe these companies are somewhat vetted and more trustworthy.
The company I used, Aeration Plus LA, was great and will use them again.
Very reasonably priced compared to other companies. Quick, thorough and friendly service. Highly recommend!
Provided us with a quality company that had quality service and great customer service skills. In which i really appreciated.
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
