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 JUST GAVE A REVIEW ON HAVING MY DRYER CLEANED AND WHEN I WAS ASKED FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK I WAS GIVEN ONLY A CHOICE OF HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS. YOU NEED TO ADD MINUTES AT THE TOP FOR JOBS THAT TAKE LESS THAN ONE HOUR. CLEANING OF A DRYER VENT AND DRYER TAKES LESS THAN AN HOUR -- IN THIS CASE LESS THAN 1/2 AN HOUR YET I COULD NOT PUT IN THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF TIME AS I WAS NOT GIVEN THE PROPER CHOICE. I'M SURE THERE ARE OTHER JOBS OUT THERE THAT MAY REQUIRE LESS THAN 1 HOUR TO PERFORM.
Excellent experience! This is a family-owned business and I like working with companies like this. They called me right away, came to my house for measurements, and returned 2 days later to install the blinds. I could not be happier.
After submitting a plumber request, I got a phone call in less than 5 minutes! We met a couple of great plumbers and hired a wonderful one. Would not have known where to look without HomeAdvisor
Great experience, Jared came out on his day off and got our power back on,
So that we were able to open our office on Monday morning.
"He saved the day!"
Fantastic job well run company would highly recommend made sure to give us just what we wanted while keeping it on budget and adding that design pleasing to look at
So far the contractors I have you to do the work was honest and the work was done well
I posted what I need, I received a response in minutes! It was Easy and Efficient. I was able to get exactly what I was looking for and fast!
I've been wanting to get rid of some things that don't work any more and we've replaced but don't have the man power to get it done. So I thought when I get a few things to do I'll hire it done.
The vendor that we selected was excellent. A second vendor had contacted us, and got huffy when we did not invite him out for a bid. He said that Home Advisor charged him $40 per lead and that we owed it to him to let him bid.
I was very happy with Home Advisor! It made a stressful situation much easier!
Angie listed contractors in our area who represented a wide variety of skills and price ranges.
Very nice. Courteous
Glad to know a person can repair granite structures
Great except they send too many emails. I do not need multiple emails.
Initial contact was a little awkward but after I answered all the questions I got multiple phone calls, I took the first guy that called NY garage doors, They sent over a nice young fella who is very knowledgeable about my situation, first Thing he did was look at the motor of the garage door opener explained to me was very old I would probably need to be changed out soon maybe sooner than I think but he proceeded to give meA little rundown on the remote that I needed, it was a universal remote and explain to me that it wasn't too high-tech so I won't have too much of a problem with, he was very nice about it, and had the job done in about a half an hour, he said If there was any problems For me to get in touch with him and he would come over and fix it
We received 4 estimates from the 4 companies who requested to bid. We chose the electrician who my husband was most comfortable with.
Had a few callers about tree service I liked one group especially, they seemed honest and professional. They finished the job in good time and were friendly
Kadan quoted a reasonable price and gave me a senior discount. He showed up within an hour and completed blowing 10 inches of fiberglass insulation into my attic within another hour. Highly recommended. Courteous and efficient.
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
