Home Advisor has called my business line several times. I was actually thinking about signing up but my husband said he wasn't interested. So today I recurved a call and I told the guy that we were not interested. This guy refused to take not for an answer and got upset because I refused their services. After respectfully telling him several times that we were not interested. I had to hang up on him. Big red flag right there! Who gets upset because you don't want to use their services. Now I get calls from unknown numbers that hang up when I answer. These people are crazy and something needs to be done about them.

I purchased a house, new construction. #1 on my list of dominoes was to have the garage floor finished with epoxy. Due to circumstances beyond my control, rain, possibly leakage from on demand water heater in the garage, the floor was too damp to prep and coat, so the contractor that I was working with has agreed to see if there is a better time later.

On a whim, since I had a couple of down-days (not working at part-time job), I submitted a request to HomeAdvisor to see if there was someone who could do it sooner. Not only did they tell me they found an expert, they charged me for 4 hours of work. Apparently it's a subsidiary named Handy.

The description was to smooth the concrete, acid etch it, and apply the epoxy I had already purchased.
Since they never told me who the contractor was, I could not discuss the work so I sent several emails describing the work to ensure the contractor would be prepared.
So what happens? Some bozo shows up in a car with no equipment, proceeds to tell me that he has never worked with epoxy and he cannot do the job and leaves!
I went more ballistic than I have ever gone in my life, on the phone with HomeAdvisor, demanding they refund my money, fire that a**hole, and letting them know I will NEVER deal with HomeAdvisor again. I give a company ONE chance, and this was the WORST contractor experience I've ever had. Homeowner beware, I wouldn't trust HomeAdvisor for ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. From now on I will deal with reputable, reviewed, local contractors that have been vetted and have good reviews. My bad for thinking there might be a quick way to get the job done.

In my opinion Home Advisor is a scam, they promise ANYTHING to get you to sign up with them and take your money for mostly BS leads. They send each lead out to as many "pro's" as they can to bill for each one. The customers are bombarded with calls and are so furious they hang up, it also shows up on their caller ID as scam
In a lot of cases so they are not likely to answer anyway. They WILL NOT refund your money once they take it from your account even after promising that you won't be billed for leads you do not want.

This company provides garbage service and is incompetent. Their staff is very incompetent, rude and dishonest. I attempted to use their service for a referral of tree trimming service in which the they booked the appointment for different time than requested. When I spoke with the service provider who inquired about the service needed he said he couldn't do the job because he didn't have the required equipment. I immediately contacted Home Advisors to cancel the order and refund the fee I paid them in advance via credit card. I was advised I would receive confirmation of cancellation and a credit back my credit card within 3-5 business days. It's now 7 days later and no cancellation confirmation nor credit back to my card. I called to inquire why wasn't my order cancelled and my card credited, in which the supervisor claims the representative failed to click the "cancel order" button. Now I am told AGAIN to wait another 3-5 business days for my refund.

Kelsey Plummer didn't do the job as he said he would! I paid him an extra $100.00 to do something not initially talked about (i. E., dig up two additional plants). I was not going to be home when he did the work. However, I telephoned him before he showed up to do the extra work and explained why I was leaving an extra $100.00 ($500.00 total) and what it was for. He didn't do the extra we talked about and when I returned home, I telephoned him and ask that he return the extra money, since he didn't do the extra work. He refused to do so. Therefore, he is a thief and cannot be trusted to do the right thing when dealing with customers. No stars here! Also, told me when bidding the job, "there will not be a leaf remaining in your yard"! Did not even do what he said he would do. I have taken pictures. The BBB will be notified of this dishonest person. Beware, I think only good reviews are posted. This type of review will be removed so people can't judge for themselves.
People should really know the type of person they are dealing with. Never let someone work for you at home when you are not there. This person will take advantage of you if given the chance. There are better people out there to deal with. Homeadvisor should be more careful. I noticed only good reviews are posted. Post this one!

The "pro" they sent cost us a new dryer! It should've been a simple part replacement and turned out he really didn't know what he was doing.
It took two weeks to "fix" the problem (see picture) then the first time I went to use it and boom nothing happened. So I wound up contacting another local company for help. Not only was I extremely overcharged by homeadvisor for the "fix" but it cost us double due to the dryer being broken in the process of him fixing it.

They sound like they are selling a nice advertising deal but they are not. Their leads are inaccurate and most of the time they are mistakes with no potential job available. They charge random and occasionally ridiculous lead fees which they charge immediately. You will find yourself constantly arguing for credit on fake leads and most of their customer service will tell you they cant refund you. You cant adjust how many leads you get so even if you get good leads you get so many you cant handle them and the charges add up. If your a small business its just not worth the time or money or hassle. Luckily i only got screwed out of 300$

The worst decision I've made- as soon as I received my contractor's licence they called -with a great intro, wonderful way to build your business. Bla, bla bla... Could have purchased much-needed tools. No refund or credit. No credit or resolution to the problem. Who supports their lousy business. But hey they are making all the money-false leads, no one answers or they were only checking out prices- yet you get charged $25-2$00 dollars per lead- even though its a false lead.

I signed up and was promised quality leads. $500+ in I hadn't even talked with a customer. They will send you leads at all hours of the day and bill you for them. When you call nobody will answer or get back to you. The leads are junk and outside of your service area. Then they will bill your credit card randomly and refuse to credit you back. Good luck asking for a refund. Stay away from this like the plague unless you like someone sending you junk leads and billing you $20 to $70 each for garbage.

We hired a contractor for our kitchen through Home Advisor, They did shoddy work and didn't finish,
The tiles are uneven, poorly cut and some are falling off the wall. The cabinets were supposed to be custom but were actually stock cabinets from China. The workers didn't clean up as promised and didn't cover the floors or countertops while they worked. Now I will either finish and make repairs myself or pay someone else because after the contractor promised to return he hasn't. I paid him in good faith. He seemed concerned and actually said the salesman makes promises they can't keep. So, don't hire Integrated Design. I guess it is buyer beware.
