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 should use Home Advisor a long time ago instead of wasting my time to call around myself with a lot of frustration and ridiculously high proposed quotes in the ends. Not to mention the inferior works with no warranties.
I listed my deck project on HomeAdvisor and quickly heard back from Maria at Giacomini's Construction.
Easy to use, couple of text messages and then you are connected with companies. You pick and they Connect you with them. Very easy to use and fast. Thanks to Homeadvisor.
P.S. They can find companies in your area.
HA sends a lot of emails trying to sell you services. Hard sell for services not related to your project.
Hired a plumber through HomeAdvisor - I was expecting a licensed professional to show up. Who showed up was a guy in a pickup truck that was in no way a licensed professional (he was a very nice man though) and tried to install a garbage disposal without any trap - just straight pipe from disposal into the main pipe - sewer gases were able to just come straight in... I had to show him what to do to fix it. He then used flexible pipe to make it work - I will have to hire someone else to redo it correctly so it doesn't look like it was done by someone who had no clue on what they were doing.
When I first signed up with home advisor, things were great I was getting work and while the lead fees were on the high side I was seeing a return. Over the past few months, it's gotten terrible. Home Advisor is leading the customers to expect a price that is not profitable with the cost of the leads. I will no longer use home advisor nor will I EVER recommend the service to other pros. Only geared to the shopper looking for the lowest bid and not for the best service and quality of work.

Bad leads period. They send you leads for things you don't do and then refuse to reimburse you. BAD COMPANY.

Very pleased! Will use again! Needed to have furniture assembled and pictures hung.
They were professional, diligent, respectful and the work was done extremely safe and the clean up for my Nieghbor was perfect.
Damaged tree needed very large branch removed. Tree damaged railing on small bridge, and temporary fencing put in place until City repairs.
Home Advisor is extremely helpful and convenient. I am guided by trustworthy contractors which I'm extremely grateful.
Going through HomeAdvisor worked really well. They quickly found me a great company to do my work, and the company did a professionally effective and efficient job. Couldn't be happier with the overall experience.
The cew was friendly and fast
They followed my instructions and the lawn looks great!
Home Advisor found me someone to resurface my kitchen sink and counters. They arrived at the scheduled time and did a fantastic job!
I needed a contractor to remove 2 trees at my house and was worried about the cost and time to get all quotes. Homeadvisor made thing incredibly easy. They get the best contractors and quotes for your job. They also follow up and call to make sure you get the right service.
Good experience. Nick was very professional and told me ahead of time about my older garage having set in stains. He did a very good job and even flushed out some dormant scorpions!
I always get at least 3 estimates before I decide on one. Have always been happy with the cost and service.
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
