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.

Timely, professional, and informative service. Would hire again if needed.
I hired a handyman to do some work set price thru Home advisor the handyman seemed a little off giving him the jobs he questioned how much I paid and he was surprised what I paid because he said he was making only one third of what I paid he said his distance and time wasn't with the trip told me I'd more people needed him I couldn't get any more work done which I need but decided not to use Home advisor again hire local
Did a good job. Nice to work with. My patio looks like new again and dirt and mold off house. Great job would use again.
Easy search criteria resulting in a good list of candidates to choose from
I wanted a simple price request. Home advisor turned that into a nightmare. Typical run around company soliciting ads for a fee. Never use them. Call a local company
I was sent a link to someone interested in my problem and he called me right away. I was impressed because it was almost 7pm. Jason from Express Restoration Corporation came as promised the next morning and was able to fix where the roof was leaking.
Had a tree removed that was half dead. Cut down and removed tree so it would not fall on my house.
Justin, my repairman, was professional, pleasant and prompt. He was good to keep me in the loop when he was delayed at another customer's home. I will call him again if I need any appliance repairs in the future.
He arrived on time and did a great job. Highly recommend him.
Golden Hammer (RAMIC MIRSAD) came to the house and gave us a very reasonable estimate for replacing our front and back porch steps.
He also inxluded taking care of a basement window for us in the estimate.
We hired him and he showed up on time and worked all day. We selected our color choice for the porches and they were back the next day to paint.
After a rain delay they came back and completed the job.
We are very pleased and can hardly believe that they are the same porches!
We are definitely going to be using their services again in the near future.
Air conditioner went out during the heat of the day and required professional repair. Found the home advisor website and requested air conditioning repair professionals in my area. Within the hour I received a call from MARS AC repair and setup a site meeting. They were on time and accurately diagnosed the issues and completed timely repairs within the agreed price.
Very good experience very professional The price was well within my budget they were on time and finish in today's like they said
Excellent & cost was unbeatable for the service.
Cleaned main vents & Dryer vents were included in the price. Other Services that I got estimates from charged a separate fee for doing dryer vents!
Home Advisor was quick to respond and had a number of businesses ready for me to contact. I will definitely use them for other projects and needs.
Farmed out the job to NEO Kitchens, a local business. Picked out my slab at their shop/warehouse. Less than a week from signing contract to installation. Very happy with my new granite counter tops in my kitchen. Thanks everybody at NEO.
Cooperative and reliable. You all work with good companies.
Sureline Fence Co responded the same day and did an excellent job for us. Another company never got back to us.
I found an awesome company through Angi.
Angi as a company is overbearing. Follow-up was pushing and invasive. I wasn't even given time to get estimates and give thought to my decisions before the phone calls and emails started. Phone calls were repetitive, representatives didn't even know I had already been contacted for the same information by other reps.
I was a member of "Angi's List" previously, and will use Angi again. I would appreciate a less "invasive" customer service approach.
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
