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.

Just typed in the need for service and was contacted
We contacted Home Advisors / Angi for help in finding a contractor for a new deck and roof. They provided one contractor to meet with us. I asked for additional contractors so I could get competitive pricing, and was never provided with a second contractor. The provided contractor came out and provided us a quote. I requested a modified quote and was told that they no longer wanted to work with us. In fact, they would not be able to provide me with any contractors and they would just refund my deposit. I have reached out to my project manager, Robby Joseph, a couple of times requesting a reason for why this contractor doesn't want to work for me, and he is suddenly non-responsive, when he's been Johnny on the spot reliable prior to this. I don't believe asking for a revised quote was unreasonable. I do this for my customers on a daily basis. I can't get a response as to why they don't want to work with us. We were just cut off from all communication. This is very unprofessional and a complete waste of my time. I would NOT recommend Home Advisors.
My overall experience was excellent. Very happy overall
I promptly received several good referrals who worked in the area. Maid Right had the experience I was looking for.
Be careful. Angi does not support consumers. Angi only supports the contractors that pay handsomely for leads. Why would Angi even want to be consumer friendly. They do not profit from consumers. The employees at Angi just told me they only background check for criminal activity. Angi has no idea if a contractor is skilled or a ripoff. The employees are good at one thing... transferring calls. This company should be audited by the attorney general in each state.
I received many calls and chose three. The three I chose were knowledgeable and knew what I needed. The quotes were very far apart and I selected one. Quality work.
Excellent, we had several call backs from different companies.
Home Advisor recommended Twigas Flooring to me and my project turned out well and it was fun working with owner Griffin.
Great tool to find local experienced contractors. I put him my basic information and got back multiple referrals
The survey was very quick and easy to complete. The guided questions helped.
Excellent company, Masterson Paving. I thought they only did asphalt but when I spoke to them, they said no they do the paving work that I wanted.
I have had 2 projects done with services provided by HomeAdvisor and was very pleased with both vendors.
I was hesitant to submit a request for help with my TV antenna update project, but I didn't know what company to call so gave it a try. I wasn't sure how soon I would hear from anyone, but I got an immediate response and was able to set up a service time for the next day.
I have had unsolicited calls from them repeatedly. A "broker" from them signed me up for membership, quoted a firm price for my job, scheduled it, and then tagged my credit card for $50 more. The person they scheduled has been texting me repeatedly and wants to come bid on the project. Huh? Guaranteed price? I've left at least 5 emails attempting to speak to a human, cancel my membership (within 24 hours of falling for it) and CANCEL MY PROJECT. Haven't heard from anyone, CC still tagged, and the guy keeps texting me. I WILL NEVER USE THIS SERVICE AGAIN.
It weas very good. I had several responses within a few hours of putting my request online for help.
Satisfied did a wonderful job everything they said they would do and more
He was very knowledgeable about the job and checked in the attic to make sure there was proper support for the fan before installing it.
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
