HomeAdvisor (Powered by Angi)Reviews 8,379

Where do I begin. We just had our one acre property cleaned, top soil, seeding, fertilizing and plantings done by John and Jeff of John Conservo Landscaping Company. The work they do is thorough, meticulous, focused on providing us with what we want and need and at the same time considering our budget. They offer options and cost comparisons to help keep costs down. They even go the extra mile taking care of little things which were not discussed to help improve the look of your property. When they are done, you don't even know they were there except for the beautiful work that they do. I give them 10 Stars out of 5. You will find no company better than John Conservo Landscaping.

I am giving a review about Homeadvisor because of their outrageous fees and incessant calls after I terminated my contract. I lasted a day and half with $284 leads fees before I had a chance to review the lead, let alone contact thoses leads.

As a former contractor listed on Homeadvisor, the vetting process is a joke. The fees, as stated, are outrageous high. I wrote off $952 in Homeadvisor's expenses for one small $1800 project.

My advise, never get involved with Homeadvisor from a contractor point of view, nor as a client for their lack of background checks.

I work for a appliance repair company that is franchised. They have a deal with the corp. office to give us a better rate on their service. The rub is that the corporation gets a kick back when the franchises use HomeAdvisor.

HomeAdvisor has probably called me 7 times. Every time they call me I say no thank you. We have built up a good business and don't need to pay them for leads.

Whenever they call they are rude and won't take no for a answer. The last time they called me they hung up on me. Please let this review and others be the reason they go out of business.

I have been trying to get my screen repaired through a company called handy that home advisor connected me with. These people have sent 2 "pros" in the last 2 weeks neither of which knew what the job was before they arrived after i put specific instructions on what needed to be done. Neither of the so called pros had the tools they needed to do the job. Not the materials the tools. The last guy showed up and didn't even have a ladder! This site is a rip off. I am out my money and the job still is not done

I'm extremely disappointment is Home Advisor overall. We signed up several months ago because their sales representative said they made changes and are so much better now. He promised a lot of things that sounded good. They have totally let us done, we called them a over a month ago and asked them to stop our account until they could deliver on the promises the representative sold us on. They continued to charge us for leads we didn't take. We finally had enough and canceled you today. We feel they are a totally unethical company. If we could have given them less stars we would have. We gave them every opportunity to make this right with us and they just kept our money and it seems their people just read the same script and don't give a damn!

Tell all your fellow contractors to stop using them, if we band together maybe this will force them to change the way they treat contractors

Consumers, Please do not use Home Advisor, rather rely on the reliable. Get referrals from great and trusted contractors from your friends, family, and neighbors. HA's "vetting" of contractors and services is far less dependable because they are not in the local area where you need someone to work for you; they are outsiders with a very effective marketing scheme and scam to milk local contractors of hard-earned money by promising "leads" to them for $14.95-$25.00 per lead. I've said, "No" to them as a 22 year old inspection and consulting business having served over 10,000 clients.
Contractors and other professionals, DO NOT FALL FOR THE HOME ADVISOR SCHEME AND SCAM! They are relentless in calling you and making you feel like other companies/your competitors will beat you out of business if you do not "partner" with Home Advisor. Wrong. Build a good name with a good service over a good amount of time and you'll always be busy. Treat people right and they'll tell countless others about how they love you and what you do. Spread the word and put HA out of business. I told one HA guy, "If I get a job because of you guys, I'll pay you, otherwise, you get nothing." Then, I said, "You should be paying me to have my name on your website!" Be true to your business. Forget THE HOME ADVERSARY!

Their contractor arrived at my home and started to yell at me about the three hour yard work job I had requested. He said, "you people (home advisor customers) always request more and take advantage". When I tried to explain that I had booked a three hour "yard cleanup" service he said that he would prefer to have a job that was only ten minutes so that he could get on with his day. He then became hostile and canceled the job. I simply had a service for weed cleanup- something that should have taken less than three hours anyway. I was being reasonable with the work and willing to compromise when he stormed out of my house. I will send this story to every website for people looking for work. This was completely unacceptable. I was a paying customer and refuse to be yelled at and threatened in my own home. Now, because of this company, this man has my address and contact information. Unacceptable. I feel unsafe in my own home. My lawyer is involved at this point. Home Advisors did nothing when I sent this complaint to them. I got an automated response with a fake apology- after sending a crazy meth head to my home. Suggestion- do your own research and at least be in charge of who enters your home, instead of the people at HA. Unbelievable.

This employee was told numerous times, over the phone and by email that my company was not interested in any services or leads from Home Advisor. He continued to make contact. Even after being bluntly told to leave us alone several times. I had to call and speak with Super visitor to make the employee leave us alone. In one day he contacted us 5 times. He was very pushy and when we told him to leave us alone he just continued talking, emailing, and calling.

I originally was put off by using Home Adviser as a source for leads because of the bad reviews, but the constant harassment from this employee set it in stone!

The only thing I can say about HomeAdvisor is my account rep was great. The rest of HomeAdvisor needs fine tuning. They dont give specific enough reasons for a contractor to request a credit then lock you out from trying to complete the request leaving a charge you have to call about. They gave leads and charged me for them well outside my service area or from customers who should not have been given to me. Too small as I only do commercial size work. My account rep said I shouldnt have been charges and tried contacting customer service about it. They never answered him. I called and got someone who was rude so I just called Capitol One to refute charges. Now HomeAdvisor is turning me in to a collection agency. I'll call the collection agency once, explain the deal, and offer to provide the emails from my HomeAdvisor account manager once. I'll never pay the $385 or so bucks to them and will be filing a claim with the Washington Stste Attorney General's office. I had to do this with Sprint 6 years ago for their false advertising of coverage areas. One State Attorney General was involved Sprint had to change up their advertising. Go figure. Glad we have some consumer protection but sad we have to use it. Wouldnt advise HomeAdvisor att all.
