HomeAdvisor posted the following five (5) star review using my name -
"Project: Install or Replace an Asphalt Shingle Roof
They worked with my insurance and helped me to get my roof replacement covered. They worked fast and were professional. They actually upgraded my roof and gave me a great warranty along with it. My experience with them is one of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. It was easy, fast and everything looks great. They paid close attention to detail and everyone cleaned up very well after everything was completed."
The problem? I did NOT write the review. Five stars for a professional' whose idea of unloading sheeting is to raise the front of the trailer and slamming dozens of 4 x 8 boards into our garage door?
Conclusions: HomeAdvisor does NOT verify reviews!
Any 5 star review of a 'pro' posted on/by HomeAdvisor is most likely a fraud!

Homeadvisor is a money-hungry company with no morals. The value that my company has received has been very little, and yet homeadvisor feels it necessary to charge $1,000-$2,000 per month. Half of the "leads" i receive, if not more, are BS and I am not able to communicate with the "customer" at all. Homeadvisor says that they will compensate you for bad leads, however, when you call them to request a credit they deny the request and charge you anyways. I once had a "lead" tell me to put them on the do not call list, so I called homeadvisor and their representative said "This is not a bad lead so we will not refund your money. That is the name of the game, if the customer is not ready to talk to you then it is not our fault."
I have never been more unsatisfied by a company, Homeadvisor is the worst of the worst.

I used HomeAdvisor for first time. Need a simple electrical repair to change a light outlet. App recommended a company and I scheduled an appointment which was said to be available according to app. The company called and said they had no availability that day or the next. The company said they did their own scheduling and could not accommodate my needs. Either the app or the company is misrepresenting the appointments that are offered on the site. This will be my once and only time I use this app unless someone has a better explanation.

I had a bad experience with a contractor referred by homeadvisor.com. A landscaper who made an appointment for a quote, but never showed up or contacted me again. I found that I was not allowed by homeadvisor to leave a review which would be posted because the contractor was not "hired" by me. They would only share my review with the specific contractor in order to improve his business practice. Being able to leave a review of a hired contractor is important, but there may be many valid reasons the contractor was never hired.

What is even the point of this site? They send your project out to all these "pros" and none of them reply. So, then you modify your request and try again - and maybe someone will reply once but never again. Try changing your name from a male to female sounding name and then you'll get a bunch more replies (gross but true - I heard this in another article & tried it - it IS true) - however even that still leaves you with unreliable people who do not come through. Why are there commercials for this crappy site on TV nonstop? It is literally the WORST possible recommendation site - just use Yelp!

When I called Home Advisor to report the fact I had some jewelry stolen from their recommendation, I was "advised" to "report it to the police".
I said "I can get someone off the street corner with the same result."
I highly DO NOT recommend them... for your own safety.
P.s. The house cleaner had ruined another person's tiles and stole hundreds of dollars of coins... do you know, when is just checked to see, THIS person was STILL BEING RECOMMENDED...

If you are a professional stay away from this scam. If a salesman calls you, hang up immediately! This is a company that takes your money and promises al lot and gives nothing. Home Advisor is truly the worst of the worst.
Of all the leads I received, 61% were unreachable. Meaning I paid for leads that I was never able to even talk to. How can you sell a service to someone when you aren't even able to get in touch with them?
The salesman that talked me into this assured me that I would be given credit when this happened. LIE!
So, like I said, if you like having your money stolen from you, join Home Advisor. If you like keeping your hard earned money, stay away. You will be sorry you joined.

This morning I connected with the company Precise Property and Maintenance recommended by Home Advisor - within ten minutes Casey the owner called and I told him what worked was needed to be done and he had mentioned he was already in the area and could be there within the hour. I was so happy and because it was for my mothers home he even gave her a senior discount. Casey and his crew were so friendly, proficient, professional and precise regarding the trees trimmed and shrubs. We were so pleased with how affordable the price was. My mom gave him a tip and told him that she will have him come again in the future when they are in need to be trimmed again. Money well spent!"

HA will charge you for leads that are non-existent. We received a lead, called it. The person on the number given had no idea what we were talking about. Requested a credit from HA and it was declined. No reason for the declination was provided, just long winded explanation about how the money spent with HA should be looked at as a total marketing budget. From the comments here; its only a matter of time before HA is facing a Class Action Lawsuit. I'm glad I'm not an investor. Revenue and profits aren't real.

When I first began to use Home Advisor I was pleasantly surprised with the efficiency of their referrals. I would post a project and several vendors would contact me and we usually did business. Then there was a phase where 1, count em, 1 vendor would contact me and Home Advisor was all proud of - nothing. I stopped using the service as it was more efficient for me to find my own people. I tried them for my vacay home for a flooring project and the 1 "pro" they sent me pretty much botched the job. Now I need an exterior door replaced with some carpentry beyond the door involved. This time Home Advisor gave me the numbers of 4 different "pros" all happy to help me out. I contacted all 4 to get a range of prices. 2 made immediate appointments with me to look at the job. One never returned my call and one had me text some information to him. The 2 that made an appointment with me never showed up, thus ruining 2 separate days for my wife and myself. The final contact never got back to me at all. A side note, the one that missed an appointment contacted me again under another company name. I recognized the name and you can imagine how far that went. Home Advisor did "follow up" by emailing me within an hour of my request and asked if I was satisfied with my contractor. Really now, an hour? After that there was no follow up so I am taking it upon myself to let anyone know how I feel. I did get a contractor by visiting another condo near mine where a contractor per was working on a project. Thanks for nothing Home Advisor. Seriously, Home Advisor, don't expect anything positive from me again.

I have called & spoken to HA about a contractor they list & are referring for jobs. This person has had his license taken away for 5 years from CSLB in the past. He is now again accused by CSLB with 4 different violations as well as 3 lawsuits from clients. He even has two RO's against him for harassing & stalking prior clients. This was all brought to the attention of HA legal department. They said a 3rd party checks their contractor's background when they sign up but not after that. So in other words by using this service you could be letting criminals into your home & giving them access to your family. Please do not use this company! Word of mouth & checking with the CSLB & YELP is a much better way to go.

Been with home advisor one year. I received leads that were already sent and accepted bye the customer for another company to complete the work. I received these leads more than 36 hours after the customer had already chosen a professional. Their dispute process is a joke. I turned off auto renewal twice through customer service since you cannot find the option anywhere, and I still get charged for the yearly amount. They lie and say they sent out emails that if they did they obviously forgot to hit send or typed my address in wrong cuz I did not receive them. Call them to receive my refund that at this point is now fraudulent activity and they tell me that I have to wait while they go back and see if an employee made proper notes. Absolutely ridiculous. I strongly urge you to not use HomeAdvisor. They will promise you the world and steal from you from the get-go. And the person that signs you up will ghost you after you send your payment. You are left in the Wind with your questions and when you call customer service they are clueless. Please think twice before signing on with these thieves. 714 reviews and they can't even hit two stars. Let that sink in. Many people will not leave a review regardless of their experience. If they did I am sure there would be more than 714 negative reviews and they would still be below where a company should be.
