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 have used home advisor more than once in the past and I've always had great experience at the start and I never had staff calling me back from back east (caller ID Chicago) saying he's calling on behalf of home advisor and would like to complete my queries and he wanted my detailed information like "email, physical address" and so on, and obviously he's gotten my number! I was quickly alarmed by it and said to him that why do you need it again when it's already on home advisor's site, and then he just hung up on me! And I've noticed that the same caller ID with the same last 4 of the numbers called me back a few more times on that same day but never left a message so just be careful these days I guess.
Mike quickly responded to my request for service. Once at our location, he quickly identified the problem and had it fixed within an hour! He will be my first phone call for any future plumbing needs!
Very fast easy to find company to do my job. Had results in a few minutes.
Scrub removal in front area of home. Scrubs were cut to top and dug out below approximately 8 inches. All scrub debris was removed and area clean up.
Good work and reputable company. No problems and company did a thorough job.
Many emails almost to the point of harassment. Offered 15% off but when I called to inquire about it they had no clue of it.
The process was easy. I entered our project needs in an online form and received two screened "matches" almost immediately so that I could check them out further if desired. Both screened companies reached out within the hour, and I ultimately hired one to complete my project that same day. We were very happy with the process and would use HomeAdvisor again for future contractor needs.
The first 4 quotes I requested were fine. Afterwards a person from HomeAdvisor called and asked if I'd like additional quotes. I said NO. The person on the phone acknowledged what I said and told me to check back if I needed more quotes. As soon as I hung up, my phone started ringing off the hook with more companies wanting to give me a quote. One of them told me that they pay Angie's $200 for every lead. It makes sense why these places are so aggressive and keep calling and calling.
Very professional and very prompt with callbacks concerning my current home project. I have used you in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
Sprinkler system failed at my mother's had to turn off water to house.
AP Landscaping got everything up and functioning without any added drama.
Used Angie a couple of times. Always had great workers to do job
Pleased with how I chose the professionals for our project
Angie provided multiple contacts to quote my sewer cleaning repair.
I am so happy with my kitchen. It is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Dustin is amazing and one of the nicest people I have ever met. 5 stars
Very fast and professional service, received call as soon as I signed up. Fair prices and great with time management. Service was everything I expected and more.
When I was ready to do a project I submitted my request through Angie's and received a list of local Pros right away. The vendors contacted me right away and I had my project booked immediately and completed within a couple of weeks.
Easy experience, not stressful, very happy with the results. I am actually hiring them again to do some tile work.
So easy to start a project and then get contacted by people who could do the work. Most contacted me within 2 hours of me "starting the projct" on Home Advisor.
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
