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.

Home advisor was able to recommend local company to do work. I tried Goggle search first and couldn't tell who to call.
I was suggested a professional and cost effective company to perform the drainage job required.
These guys gave me a quote same day, scheduled me and worked around my work schedule. Quality work! I would recommend them!
I needed my garage door fixed, I googled and lots of ads popper up. I chose home advisor and had an appointment in less than 5 minutes
Worked just fine. Many inquiries wanting to give me an estimate. First come first served. I did not have the time to vet all those that reolyed.
I booked a service... who did not show up and then next day, someone came at the wrong time for the wrong
Hours and the wrong job... since they got here at 7 am. before I got up they were working... trying to communicate with Obviously foreign people who did not understand a lot of what I said and I did not understand a lot of what they were saying... this entailed 7 or 8 calls and all the reps. Were pretty much the same. I think they refunded my money but it was a horrible experience overall... sorry..
They sent me four relevant companies for my job. They all had 4-5 star reviews. All seemed very good and I ended up choosing one. I was very happy with the work I had done.
Jake and Daniel removed an replaced a defective cast iron and porcelain shower base that was 2 years old.
I have only used them 2 times, but both vendors showed up and were on time. Reasonable pricing.
Too many phone calls! Receiving calls a week after the work was completed
The vendor called me back pretty fast and they were very accommodating. They came over the same night to take a look at the problem and then came back the next day to do the job. It was done very fast very friendly and the price is very reasonable.
The number of times i was contacted by HomeAdvisor boarded on harassment. It was unnecessary and annoying to be contacted 5 times or more per day.
I was transferred to Home Advisor from Angi and it lost my log in. After several attempts and a lot of writing everything was lost. I had to log in and do it again. I wouldn't have bothered because I was frustrated with the experience but I did it a second time because the contractor was fantastic and deserved to get a great review. I think Angi should keep their clients working within their site
I reached out for a reputable contractor to seal my driveway and within minutes Jordan, with Bryant Sealcoating responded. I could not have been more pleased with the response time and such a great guy and company to do my work. I would recommend him and his company to anyone anytime and will continue to use him on future projects.
I tried Angi / HomeAdvisor before but only got contractors that were realistically too far away. Who were non-responsive and there was never any follow up.
This time the experience was over-the-moon!
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
