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.

I searched the site to find someone to help cut down a huge tree in my tiny backyard. This site helped me find the best option and the best price!
Just used Black Stallion for the first time and I could not have been more please. Anthony was polite, professional and very conscientious about doing a good job. They gave me a fair price, did a great job and cleaned up everything when done. I would definitely use them again. I am a private homeowner in Port St John.
Good experience. I would recommend to other customers and would use them again.
Fast and good services like for Housekeeping they send people to help me clean my house and I'm a satisfied customer.
Gentlemen was nice, but unorganized and lacking in knowledge. Paid for 3 different jobs, none completed. Was automatically made a member at a cost of? $80. After several calls, refunded Half what I paid. Canceled my membership, but not refunded my money for it. Asked to speak with a supervisor. Told one would call me, but no one ever did. These people promise professionals, but don't deliver, and still want your money.
They followed up promptly with bid, quickly scheduled job, worked around scheduled delivery and did a thorough job.
My experience was ok I just dnt like how angie gave my number out to so many people I was getting calls after the fact.
Great service. Techs were professional and treated me with the upmost respect. Completed the task in less than one hour. Made sure everything was working prior to departure. It was a pleasure.
Completed form on Angi and received three calls from companies within a half hour. Described project, one company didn't do downspouts with angles. Two came and gave estimates. I ultimately contracted with The Brothers who Only Do Gutters, who were phenomenal. I wouldn't have found them without Angi
I had sparks shooting out of a light bulb connection in a small mountain cabin and needed immediate service. Although there was a disappointment that the company after scheduling me for two days time to four days time and I had no electricity for fear of staring a fire, when the electrician did finally make the rescheduled appointment he was on time and extremely well qualified to fix my problem explaining what needed to be done and was in no hurry to get here and to get out and took time to answer my question about further electrical expansion and how I could make my current electrical situation more efficient with the proper light bulbs and amps in the box. Mitch was a very professional young man and made me feel like a real person and not just another customer and was a delight to visit with. I do not live here full time so was at the mercy of your agency to find me a qualified electrician. Thanks.
Amazing experience after inquiring about a dumpster rental I was receiving a call within 30 minutes from a local business. Fast and courteous! Highly recommend
I had tried other contractor sites but couldn't get either a fair price or someone to show up. Mow-reno's Landscape contacted me immediately and was able to come the next week to do our job for a fair price.
I just paid $284+ to have a 4 bedroom 3 bath house cleaned in Edmond, ok as a gift. It was the most pitiful job and she stayed less than 3 hours. No dusting no showers or mirrors cleaned. One large rug in den not vacuumed still had pet hair on it. Kitchen counters were left with residue on them. The comment was I believe I did everything! Well I will never ever use this service again!
Many of the referrals I got were solid, and several people gave me estimates. Unfortunately, I was inundated with spam-type calls for "gutter guard" products, even though I did not request that.
Overall a decent experience and I would like to see fewer "commercial" influences for replies.
This "business" is a scam. I called to get a window repaired, was quoted $517 and promised all materials were included and that the price was locked in. The salesperson said I would not be charged until the work was complete. When the contractor arrived they told me I had to pay for a new pane, and that they couldn't do the repair because they didn't have a ladder, even though HomeAdvisor(powered by Angi) charged me an additional $50 for a ladder to be brought. I cancelled the order and went with a different company. Then a week later my credit card was charged, even though no service was completed. I called "customer service", they acknowledged my cancellation, and confirmed the work was NOT done, and promised I'd get a refund in 5-7 days. 7 days later no refund has been issued. I called again and the "customer service" rep claimed there was no cancellation, nor refund issued (so their previous rep LIED to me). I now have to wait another 3-5 days for the refund. They said a confirmation e-mail would be sent, but nothing is in my inbox.
Do not use this "service", they WILL rip you off.
Came early. Very good job. Moved furniture and left the room clean
Over the years, I have found several companies through Home Advisor, my go-to for home upkeep and repair. Thanks!
Very pleasant experience. Drying time was involved and the workers remained on the property (not in mold area) the entire time. I was very pleased.
They were helpful with getting the project. However, it would help if the suggested contractors were local. Most were hundreds if not thousands of miles away. One reached out to me, he was qualified, I met with him and indeed hired him. It's pointless to recommend someone that won't travel for relatively small job
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
