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 am going to use this site for further projects for sure. So easy... and passed on to others already
Quick, easy, efficient, three days from quote to done! Contractor was very knowledgeable and friendly, workers were very neat, did minimal damage to peripheral areas, cleaned up after. The whole process was far less hassle than expected!
To describe our new patio (with a river rock landscape & tree border) in three (3) words:
"Back Yard Transformation"
The job was completed with all details, as explained by Mr. Ross and as outlined in the proposal. In fact, the completed project exceeded our expectations and was done at an affordable price.
Advance Building Services (abspros.net) exhibited all the qualities a reputable contractor must have:
Professionalism, honesty, superb design skills, prudent judgement, the use of qualify materials; and employees, who are courteous, professional, timely, and diligent skilled craftsmen. The two-man crew assigned to our project treated our home with great care and left it in a significantly improved state.
Thank you ABS for the "BYT". You will hear from us again.
Professional & courteous! Excellent work! Excellent work! The professional was on time, on task, and well prepared to complete my job. I am beyond satisfied with the work!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! I should have checked them out before beforehand. Just google lawsuits and FTC investigation against Home Advisor. Total scam.
They tell you they are "booking" your appointment, which is false. I asked the representative three times, is she certain they will show up, and show up on time? I got an emphatic yes all three times. In truth, the contractors themselves actually book the appointments. The plumber they contracted me with wanted me to wait FOUR EXTRA DAYS, after I "booked" a next day appointment. Wasted my entire day, and went another day with no water in the house before giving up and calling a plumber.
Furthermore, while their sales reps will call you RELENTLESSLY once you fill out the questionnaire on their website, once they screw up your appointment, their customer service department is a joke. I was promised a call back from a supervisor two days ago. Nothing.
Home Advisors sales pitch is complete bulls**t. Save yourself a lot of headaches. Skip the middleman and just call a highly rated professional directly. Turned out to be cheaper, too.
After posting my request I received several calls. The first caller showed up within 1 hour, gave me an estim ate and completed the job.
Great service from start to finish. Thorough, courteous and professional. Did not cut corners. Will use them again!
Had a good experience got a list of local roofers in the area and was able to pic the one that suited my needs
Superb! As usual. At no cost Angi is your guide and advisor to getting the right company and individuals to get your job done in the most cost effective, safe and professional manner. I'm very grateful for this business. Thank you! Angi
Consumers! Beware! This is a full scam company! They will charge you for services they can't provide. They made me drive 4 hrs to supposedly meet another contractor of their ( because first one couldn't fix the plumbing issue I had) only two cancel few hrs before the scheduled time. Not only that but they scheduled a second time which also did not happen as no one showed up as they claimed it would! Don't trust these scammers. They will gladly charge your card and good luck finding solution to your project then!
Sam was great and I will use his services for other things in the future.
Jose did a great job, and was very knowledgeable. Matt was the project manager and was on site during a portion of the installation. Although it hasn't rained yet, I feel they got it right.
Have been using Angies list for many years. It is a good source of contractor referrals. Once you request a quota, you are left to your own devices though. There is -no- way of checking the messages from the contractors, unless the contractor is smart enough to email you directly.
Arrived at home, & began the inspection, started with the Garage, & the perimeter of the home
Then enter the home and inspected each room of the house & then he said the inspection was complete no problems.
His knowledge & experience is reputable & knows how to make the client get their money worth.
My experience was very professional and provided me with the information and evaluation I needed.
Angi is my go to when I need to hire a pro. I've had excellent service from the pros that have contacted me. I've used Angi for my sod install and landscape, for my plumber, and for my electrician. All of whom I'd use again. Thank you Angi!
I was given the right advice for the job I needed done with the right people
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
