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.

My experience was quick, easy, simple - got an immediate response from Mr. Sparky... only confusion is that I went through Angi and the vendor kept saying Home Advisor.
The contractor was knowledgeable and professional
Great fast service
Very easy to find companies to do work for home owners.
Response is very quick.
Several jobs in preparing to sell out home, power washing, sprinkler system, pavers. They provided multiple professionals to work with, got some estimates and selected a contractor. The contractor did an excellent job.
I have worked with two different professionals through Home Advisor now, and I am very happy with the professionalism, knowledge and work done by both. The more I hire through HomeAdvisor the more confident I am that I am hiring trustworthy, vetted business people who perform great work.
While I actually exited the search process, 2 drafts persons contacted me. My husband and I chose A+ Drafting Services after speaking with Dan Owens. We are so happy we did!
I was connected to ASE. They installed a Pioneer mini split system for me in one day. I'm very happy I found ASE through Angi's list.
I needed a specific service and I when to home advisor. Com and they directed me to Angi quickly! It was so easy and fast!
My kitchen sinks were backing up and not draining properly. First I hired She Repairs It/handyman service, who inspected all pipes under kitchen sinks for possible clogs, very thoroughly. Concluding that the problem/blockage was outside pipes. I then hired Absolute rooters and plumbing inc. and they found the problem was indeed the outside pipes. They performed a descaling procedure, which completely remedied the clogging issues. Everything regarding kitchen sinks and dishwasher are functioning perfectly. Very pleased!
Really helpful and outstanding service from start to completion
I tried the app and it was very easy. I followed up with a phone call with a very knowledgeable agent who gave me several names for my two projects. I also communicated with the contractor on the app easily. I have completed one project and look forward for the next.
I received a call from a rep after submitting a request for a handyman. I described my project - extend my fireplace brick to the ceiling - approx. 18 sq. Feet of brick to be laid. They gave me a price and scheduled a provider for 4 days hence (a Monday). The guy was a no show. I called, they re-scheduled with another provider for the following Friday. They send a link to communicate with the provider 24 hours prior to the time of your appointment. I texted, no response. The guy does show up, but when I show him the project, he tells me he has never laid brick before. Nice enough guy, just not qualified for the job.
I am unclear as to what process they use to send a provider given that I already provided them the scope of work.
When I called and spoke to customer service, they offered to reschedule again or refund my purchase. When I asked if they could assure me that the provider would be qualified to do the work, they said no.? I went for the refund.
Would not use again.
Perez Landscaping was easy to work with and patient. I knew the cost upfront and I had no surprises. Great guy and company.
I used HomeAdvisor to obtain the names of reputable landscaping and irrigation repair companies.
Great experience despite overall past experience. See comments below.
While waiting for quotes the HA customer service called me several times to make sure I had a company coming. They even set l-up appts for me.
I first contacted HomeAdvisor and it did take a little while for someone to call me. I know that materials are short these days because of the pandemic and I expected to wait a little while.
I posted the small things that needed to be done, and was very impressed with the information provided to me of local handyman that would fit with our project.
Technicians were pleasant, clean and professional. They were knowledgeable and explained procedure well.
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
