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 service and recommendations. Our contractor was the best.
Very good job, done in reasonable time and reasonable price
This time replaced a H20 heater by Master Plumber. I have had excellent experiences with porch replacement & fence repair & partial replacement.
Skeptical at first but proven wrong. Home advisor connected us to a really honest professional.
Excellent. Found 2 tree people in just a few minutes and both responded quickly
I am recently retired and have several projects in mind for my home improvements, home advisors has proven to be the most reliable source of contractors and fair pricing
They suggested multiple home improvement projects and suggested a lot of vetted contractors that could do the jobs.
Very professional and clean job done within a week with weather being the only factor for delays. Price was very fair although I an still fighting insurance and their calculations... I still wouldn't have used anyone else.
I have used HomeAdvisor and I think they are second to none. The have been a blessing. With all my projects.
I called Jennifer at Home Advisor. I have her as a contact because she provides excellent recommendations and always follows through.
OK, YOU DID YOUR JOB IN ADVERTISING AND IT WORKS. THE COMPANY DID EXACTLY WHAT WAS ASKED OF ME
AND PROVIDED ADVISE.
Home Advisor was okay at first. After a few weeks, we would get leads (that we had to pay 35-50$ for) only to call the lead immediately and they would say they hired many days ago or didn't actually want service/tried canceling their request.
You can call home advisor and ask for a credit. Very rarely will they offer a credit. See you pay for each "lead" but if that lead isn't actually a lead, you would think they would credit your business back. If there. Is zero opportunity to win that lead, it is not a lead.
They want to steal your money by providing these names and numbers that do not actually want services-and refuse to credit your account.
Customer service is rude. Your account supervisor who claims to be there for you for any of your needs or questions will never return your phone calls or emails, and when they do they will state their " team" will take care of it.
TOTAL SCAM.
Quick response with list of vetted vendors and would use again for other services
Sent request at night, received a response the next morning, company recommended was great!
I am so glad to know and hire a quality contractor provided by HomeAdvisor comparingly to other websites.
Several companies replied to our post. Some were honest enough to say it was too small, one didn't even bother to show up. Found a company that did a thorough job.
Very good experience, I was able to connect with and hire a very good contractor for the project.
I am glad that I applied for help with HomeAdvisor. The company that I got through them did a fantastic job. The next time I need to find someone to do a job I will not hesitate to contact HomeAdvisor again.
So very positive. Lovely people and will accommodate whatever you need.
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
