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 put me in touch with a professional within hours of my request. I have been very satisfied with the jobs I have had done, using Home Advisor.
Decided on one of the roofers that was listed on Angi. Had good experience with them but I continued to get phone calls for weeks! After job was completed even though I answered the first 20 calls and explained how the roofing job was finished.
After submitting our inquiry to Home Advisor we were contacted by All About the Yard, which turned out to be a good thing. It was good to get the referral.
He was upfront and honest to deal with. Had suggestions and told us what to expect. Some of it was delayed due to weather. Just working around that. He is not finished yet but am confident it will be finished to great satisfaction.
I wanted more information on the contractor that I hired before they came into my home as I am an elder female that lives alone. I googled the referred company and couldn't find it. The name seemed like a category not an actual company. I wanted to call the company directly and verify the contractor as I was having difficulty getting complete info from the contractor himself. Home Advisors didn't respond to my voice mail when their lines were all busy so I left my number for a call back. Still no response. Then I set up a chat; still no response. There is no excuse for such a blatant lack of service. I used Angi's List in Florida about 6 years ago and was very pleased. This acquisition of Home Advisors has destroyed Angi's reputation for me.
I have used Angie for several years. Great selection of contractors fair and honest
I have used home advisor 4 or 5 times each time i have gotten a good contractor.
Very positive experience. Everyone was very professional and work is top notch.
I had to do all the follow up. Contractors didn't contact me. I spent too much time on the phone with Home Advisor
Every step was made easy and they have a sense of humor which was nice to see.
Awesome service. I will recommend them again for any future projects.
All went very smoothly and he was finished in less than 90 minutes.
Got a call from Home Advisor representative asking if he could provide my number to a contractor, which I agreed to.
Contractor called me within the hour and I scheduled an appointment for an estimate. He was prompt and provided great service and I will use his company again.
I googled "dishwasher repair near me" and Home Advisor website came up - I filled out my info and issue. These folks called me within 5 minutes of submitting my info! They arrived on time, exceptionally kind, professional, quick, yet thourogh - and the fee was totally reasonable! I would recommend them for any appliance service/repair to everyone!
I filled out a form for a local A/C, duct, dryer vent servicing company who apparently sold my information to Angie's List and Home Advisor. I did not visit home advisor. I got TEN $#*!ING calls from you guys trying to get in touch with my about projects I didn't even care about because the questionnaire on the local site was so misleading. 10. Ten calls. I did not even give my phone number to you guys. Pretty sure that considering you probably use an autodialer to reach my, it might be a violation of TCPA. So I will be looking into that.
Gave me 1 installer, who called me within 30 minutes.
Good experience, reviewed three companies, all three companies offered decent proposals.
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
