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.

The concrete company they recommended did a good job...! However... the electrician they (Home Advisor) recommended to run electricity to my hot tub scammed me and skipped out on finishing the job they started because I paid him in advance...! I was very foolish to do so...! He lied to me several times and is not a good man.
I am so happy and grateful that Home Advisor introduced me to Rewards Cleaning Services! Home Advisor took all of my concerns and rapped it into a perfect match of service for me and my little family! I am beyond happy with Home Advisor choice of Rewards Cleaning Service for me. I just want to say a huge THANK YOU!
Good work completed and clean worker with his own tools.
Integrity Gutters is professional and pleasant to work with. Clear communication and excellent work.
We would've never found our great painter without Angi. I appreciate the reviews and the whole way it works, now much is required and it's free! The only downside was there were too many calls from too many businesses long after I hired someone, so that could've been the fault of the businesses or Angi; I don't know.
He was very courteous and in and out within 1 hour. Found the problem and I didn't need the garbage disposal replaced after all. It was just an electrical issue and after a little trouble shooting to rule out possibilities, he found it. Ask for Scott's :)
Impressed. Very professional yet a atmosphere of customer's concerned/satisfaction displayed and fulfilled.
Electrical, plumbing, sink & counter top install, wall unit a/c install to replace old unit, Yard clean up.
I signed on to this website, and within minutes I had several great choices to choose from. I hired the first one that I met with because he was professional, on time and gave me a great quote on several properties that were in need of gardening. He did a great job, and will come back weekly.
They did an excellent job the cost was very reasonable and the project was completed within the quoted time frame
It has been great. The response has been fast. They follow up a lot. You get a lot of responses and therefore companies to choose from for your project.
Survey would not complete
The work was done at the cost specified & was completed in a timely fashion.
The vender was professional, courteous, & prompt!
Excellent & highly recommend me.!
New to the area and was looking for a painter. It was nice to have a list of painters and have them contact me.
Angi has helped me find people for all different types of jobs - plumbing, chimney sweeping, fixing my sprinkler system, window cleaning. It's fast and easy to get multiple quotes.
I would have wanted a less evasive experience. I have blocked Anji from sending messages and reported to spam.
Angi has charged me multiple times for leads that never call me back even though i call as soon as i get the text, charging me $25-$45 per lead. They even charged me for leads outside of my designated coverage area.
This sort of BS with unvetted leads, "customer left no information regarding the job" and other shady crap boils down to nothing more than stealing from small contractors, Angi List appears to be another large Corporation that pitches a good game but doesn't deliver. Be warned - they pester the crap out of you too. Calling at the most inopportune times.
HomeAdvisor quoted a price of $559 to have a fence extended on my property. The actual cost came in a bit over $2600. I'm not certain what HomeAdvisor is for. Also as I attempted to finalize the online order I was automatically shunted to a site where I had to take out a loan from a third party for the quoted price.
I had a good experience with HomeAdvisor. I have used this service several times. I will use them again in the future. I look at the reviews to make sure that others have had a good experience with the company.
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
