Home advisor recommended JB Contractor to come to my house and look at my sprinkler system. JB stood me up twice and when I wanted to leave a bad review. Home advisor told me they are not going to post it to the public because no services were done. I wasted an entire Saturday and Thursday afternoon eating for JB contractors to show up and home advisor wouldnt let me post a negative review. I would never do business with either again or attempt to do business I should say.

Homewood visor made all kinds of promises to get my $400 start up fee and then categorize me as the wrong category and refused to put me in the right category I will not do business with a company that makes promises and does not keep them! If youre smart youll stay far away from this company currently have a lawsuit if youre smart youll stay far away from this company currently have a lawsuit against them spiked say to California against them by the state of California

I own an 18 year old general contracting company. I tried HomeAdvisor on 2 different occasions all they did was charge my credit card $800 for Leads THAT WERE NOT REAL and went to peoples voicemails and never got a call back I canceled my account with them. I also own an 8 year old Air Conditioning business they did the exact same thing to me 2 times on the Air Conditioning business. DO NOT GIVE HOMEADVISOR YOUR MONEY THEY ARE A FRAUD! I gave them 3 chances and its the same thing every time. They Don't want to Refund your money either.

I hired Jeff Nickell of JSN Restoration & Remodeling to perform construction work related to the safety of my family based upon a 5 star rating from HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor recommended JSN Restoration & Remodeling for my work project.
Jeff Nickell and I agreed upon a work proposal that he presented to me. I had to wait for a month before he could start the job, he told me. The day before the job was scheduled to be done, Jeff Nickell called me up and cancelled the job. He told me he was going out of town on family business and would get back to me the following week. He also told me that he would have his subcontractors call me to schedule the work he agreed to perform. Jeff Nickell never contacted me again, his subcontractors never contacted me and I was left holding the bag with a viga beam that supported my roof cracking and in jeopardy of collapsing, potentially causing injury or worse to my family and anyone visiting my home. I submitted a review to HomeAdvisor reflecting these facts and Home Advisor removed it from their site because I hadn't given Jeff Nickell any money yet. How could I give him money when he never showed up to do the job? HomeAdvisor is a self-serving business that has total disregard for the welfare of the gullible public that relies upon their advice for their hiring decisions. Home Advisor CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

The have you set up a membership and charge almost $300 for a year and then turn around and charge you for every lead they give you and take hundreds from your account even if you've just started your small business. But of course they DO NOT tell you that at the beginning. The leads they give you, don't even know that they charge and when you tell them they say they had no clue and will never call HomeAdvisor again. Their customer service is very unprofessional, it is the WORST! They are never willing to credit you even after you make several attempts to the customer or if the customer cancels and is not interested. If you're interested in a contractor, do not deal with HomeAdvisor they charge us contractors for you!

DO NOT USE HomeAdvisor PRO. They lie and help themselves to your money. We signed up for this service in February. We were sold by a girl named Olivia, we were under the impression we would be working directly with her.

We were surprised when we were directed to an 800 number where we were on hold for an HOUR and fifteen minutes before talking to a person about the charges on our account. Olivia had told us we would only receive leads from verified homeowners and the cost was normally $60 dependant on the service.

We set up our account and the leads we received were not real. We had numbers that were wrong, services we didn't offer, and locations we didn't reach. We even had a lead, that when Googled, was DEAD. The leads were also $100+!

We tried to cancel after a month and the guy said he'd give us a refund and give us five free leads. He told us they were starting a new "opportunity" service where we only accept the leads we're interested in and are charged when the homeowner accepts the match. We thought it sounded a bit better so we stuck it out.

We just discovered our card has been charged for leads we didn't even get! I called customer service and this "lovely" gal named Brandi told us she was the supervisor and as high as we could go. She kept interrupting me and wouldn't listen to a thing I said when I tried to explain that we shouldn't have had our card charged. She kept saying they don't refund leads and they don't guarantee them and we should know that. She told us if we didn't want to be charged we should turn our leads off. They have been off for months! She refused to do anything even when we said we wanted to close our account.

We've started disputes with our credit card company and will be looking into all avenues to prevent this corrupt business from stealing from any other small business owners.

Home Advisor is a scam. My sales rep never told me i would get billed for every lead they send to you. BY TEXT EMAIL OR PHONE, whether they are a match or not or if a customer has mis labeled their request for a service. My Sales rep Diana Lobo never told me this. I recorded all her phone calls and all my calls with other staff at home advisor. Make a note you have 3 YES just 3 days to cancel your subscription and get your money back. Home advisor wanted to charge me 91.00 for a lead to plug in a HDMI cable from a customer, How do i charge the customer 200.00 to do that. I wouldn't feel morally right charging 200.00 to plug in a HDMI cable. If you are thinking of joining Home advisor as a pro. DONT.

If you are a Pro who has been duped by Home Advisor with misinformation and outrageous fees and would like to start a class action lawsuit against them send me your contact info and lets get them! Ross Daisomont *******@live.com

I gave home advisor a shot and did use one of the companies through their website. The guy I hired did a good job. The problem was with home advisor constantly calling me afterwards. I explained I dont want a call as IM busy. If they want a review, email me, dont keep calling. I finally got pised off at one lady who told me "its in our terms of service" so we call call you. I told her thats good to know because Im never using home advisor again.

CONTRACTORS BEWARE! I signed up with HomeAdvisor after multiple predatory phone calls FROM THEM. I was ignorant and didn't read about them. It cost me $250.00 to sign up and I was billed $575.00 for leads that I never contacted. I found out after 4 weeks that they were billing me each time they texted, regardless if the job is a match for my company. I'm out $815.00 and didn't get a single job. If I had wait till next month to call them I'd be out another $1000. 00 minimum. THIS IS A SCAM!
