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.

We monitor reviews for authenticity
I interviewed 3 vendors, who were all strong prospects. Very happy with my choice.
HomeAdvisor sent work review for Tactical Irrigation Services immediately, therefore we could not rate them, so I gave them a 0 and explained why in the comment section. It still affected Tactical Irrigation Services rating with HomeAdvisor. I hope you can correct their rating.
Angi has no means of communication once you talk to someone who takes you order there is no way to ever twlk to someone about problem they hide behind email communication. Ifthey dont I want to answer theydont. They will charge your credit card without notification. Then its impossible to get a response. Dont deal with them they cant be trusted.
I described my desired project and was immediately provided with several potential suppliers. The one we chose reached out to us and was very eager to do the job. He did everything exactly as was promised and was very punctual.
Very good and quick results. Everything went smoothly with no problems
Pleasant experience, no problem getting assistance, some companies were reasonably priced, others were not, I chose the best price for my budget and was very satisfied.
Home Advisor has always provided great professionals for my home projects. I've had my house painted, roof cleaned and a tree removed.
Vendor contated me in less than 5 minutes after the website posting to schedule the work. This was on a Friday while a cold storm front was moving in. I had a Dr appointment late morning and the tech scheduled around it and maintained good communication regarding his arrival time. He was on time, very knowledgeable about my specific unit and completed repairs in less than an hour. Fee was very reasonable and all forms of payment were accepted. I asked for business cards for myself and new next door neighbor. He provided magnetic business cards. The tech was professional in appearance and courteous in conversation.
Got me in touch with someone right away. Got the down payment taken care of. Still waiting on getting the project started.
Ok, but web site was a bit confusing at first. Will use again in the future.
2,300 sq ft driveway replacement. Website saved me the work of finding contractors on my own
Awesome Saucesome Referral... I'm such a happy and grateful customer i will be calling Home Advisor for all my Home Improvements
My project was initiated with Home Advisor, quoted, and finished in about a weeks time. WOW!
We hired P Parks Heating and Cooling to instal a new oil fired boiler. They did a great job. Many thanks
Have used Angie's list for a handyman and lawn care. Both have been excellent. Will go hear before I hire anyone for anything.
He replaced siding that had blown off my house. Hed did a very good 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
