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 had a very great experience for Dunwright plumbing services they were very professional and everything was done correctly I don't have to worry about my plumbing to lease for another 10 to 15 years thank you
Looked for services involving water softeners services as I could not locate any in my area. Angi made this process easy, but I don't like the harassment after using them once a while ago just to look up a service. Once I use the service and the service is good I will use again, but on my own as I don't need the bombardment of emails when I don't need them. Let your service speak for itself.
The pros are that the site was very easy to use. I got messages from the two companies I chose right away, and ended up using one. I was very happy with their work.
The cons are that after the initial use of the website, you can't read messages from the companies without downloading the HomeAdvisor app. No thanks, don't need another app. Also, the spam emails are endless after they have your address. (This request for review being the latest.)
Great workmanship very professional and fast mr O'Grady very nice and very knowledgeable
Hired a pro to come fix the tracks of 4 small windows. Alleged "fixed price" was $531. Pro came and said he would need to be reimbursed for parts. When I questioned why I have to pay for the parts when I already paid a fixed price, I was told he's getting paid for his time. I contacted Home Advisor Angies list about how I was not happy with the service and wanted a refund considering no work had been done, they then tell me I would be charged 50%.
This company is a rip off and way too over priced.
Victor communicated with us during the project. The workers were very neat. Never heard any loud music or talk. Excellent job.
Even this is difficult. Tried to submit without filling in this area and unable to do so. Now it looks like my robot verification has expired. Good grief.
The site indicated I could get a quote electronically, not that my phone would blow up with calls and texts. It was not what I expected.
After filling out a form online, Scott called me within an hour. He set up the appointment, called me on the day of the appointment, and showed up on time. In 15 minutes my piano was out the door and we had a very pleasant conversation. I am impressed.
Placed my add within 5 minutes had a guy call about installing my fence. Showed up for estimate in 2 days came back the next day and had my fence installed and did a great job.
Had our bathroom completely gutted and redone. Had a great experience with 5 star renovations, they did a great job.
You called three times before anyone was able responded to my needs. They the person on the phone had NO IDEA what I was needing
Received word from Contractor and made an appointment for him to evaluate my trees and shrubs and give me an estimate. He was prompt and gave me a lot of time to explain his services, answer my questions, evaluate my yard and give me an estimate. I agreed and want this service from his company. He was very thorough in his estimate and evaluation and I expect to be very happy with our agreement
Service was quoted for $113 and credit was charged for $194.43. Service was not completed on date and time booked but was one day later. Customer service could not cancel the appointment and refused to refund the difference. Spoke with Rofel, Laura, Andrian Genita, Erlyn Siarot, Vignesh.
I have used the Home Advisor service for several projects including plumbing, gutters, and general handyman services, and have been pleased with the results.
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
