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.

Good communication, provided several recommendation of contractors, quick response. Good follow up
Had a clogged drain that was fixed in very little time. Micah was professional and recognized the issue immediately. Fixed it quickly. Could not have gone better! Amazing response time from when I inquired and was scheduled the next day at 10am. Arrived on time. Great experience
I received several replies promptly. Each business rep was friendly and informed.
Rand did an excellent job. Highly recommended. Rand was able to overcome issues and complete a perfect installation.
We were notified we had termites when Fire Department was here for another reason. Called and got an appointment for just a few days away.
John called back with quote in less than 5 minutes. Accepted his quote, great customer service. Job completed extremely well.
Easy to find quality installation, trust worthy contractors, overall great experience.
Everything was great from start to finish. We were contacted by several companies and got a good estimate. The job was performed well and on time. High quality work.
I was on Home Advisor for 2 years as a contractor. The price for their leads is a rip off. WAY over priced. I did get a few jobs on there which is why I gave 2 stars, but their customer service is shady too. When I cancelled they left me on part of it so they could still milk money out of me and I had to call back to cancel AGAIN and explain to them by "cancel" I want to be done and off their site. They finally got it and I am now done with their overpriced shady business practices.
I was excited to give Home Advisor a try so I signed up and scheduled some ongoing house cleanings and a gutter repair. Sadly the gutter person never did show up and the house cleaner showed up for 2 of 5 scheduled appointments. Home advisor was more than happy to take the payments, however. Granted they were willing to refund but it was a hassle. I've since canceled my account.
I found a great contractor very quickly. Got the work done that day!
It was good. The crew was more than attentive. They made sure I was provided timely responses during the entire process.
Immediately received several options, all highly rated.
They gave me great company and was worthwhile. They showed up on time and were competent
Very helpful service, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs home improvement services but who doesn't know where to start
We were contacted same day we placed ad, it was scheduled for the next dat day, they arrived on-time. Would highly recommend
Gave me an idea of how much work was involved. Work
Was completed and I was pleased.
Scheduled one room carpet cleaning. Home Advisor sent a duct cleaning company which did not have carpet cleaning equipment. I'd moved furniture to prepare. Technician could not do the job, though he was apologetic and diplomatic, I still have a soiled carpet. I am angry about the inconvenience, the lack of service, and the position the tech was placed in. Will never consider calling Home Advisor again.
The representative was fully aware of her job. Very professional, very courteous. Would recommend Angi's list to anyone.
Went online, requested local tree cutting. Ask for my info. Told me someone would call and they did. Within 2 hours I had an appointment and Orlando came out and gave me ans estimate.
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
