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 company received a call from Home Advisor stating that our company had a driving infraction so we were no longer eligible to advertise with Home Advisor.
What kind of unprecedented excuse of a company does that? To top it off, they now use our company name in their ads on Google!
It is my opinion that Home Advisor is incredibly incompetent to give a home owner any advice at all.
Some company I never even heard of didn't pay a bill that was $17 and I spend $1,000 a month with HomeAdvisor. They put MY account on hold because they said my account was a sister account. I never even heard of this other company. They couldn't give me a reason why we were connected and said my name wasn't on the other account or anything. I never gave them permission to connect me to any other account as the account representative and they said it's up to HomeAdvisor to decide who's account I represent and they won't unlock my account until the other people pay their bill and I can't do anything to disconnect us. Completely irrational to lose $1,000 a month for a $17 bill that isn't even related to me.
This is absolutely the worse company I have ever worked with. They will change the way they send you leads and then charge you extra money without your permission. The last straw was the new "pay online" feature. They quoted one of my jobs without my permission, charged the customers card, and supposedly scheduled the job. The next thing I know the customers calls to confirm a appointment that I had no idea was suppose to be on my schedule because no one from home advisor bothered to call and schedule it. So I had to rearrange everything to get this poor customer on my schedule because she had already paid for it. It has been over two weeks no one knows where the money is and how I am going to get paid for this job. Do not work with this company!
HA did not provide leads from us and then did not refund money for absolutely no business generated. This is a dishonest company that is just interested businesses hey so I have a fee and then they scam lead fees. It would have taken several new pieces of business to pay for the
I decided to give Home Advisor a try for a tv installation project that I needed help with. They paired me with a few different contractors, two of which seemed to not understand the specifics of my request, which were 1. Mounting tv on brick fireplace, and 2. Need for mounting hardware, and 3. Concealing cables. I spoke to one contractor which was a big box service, and their quote for the job was way over what I was expecting. The other 2 contractors, both of which would only communicate via text, seemed to not understand the details of the job, nor would give me an estimate as to what I was going to pay. One contractor even mentioned that he was going to have to pick up the correct bolts to complete the job, and suggested that I give him a tip.? WTF? I ended up cancelling two appointments as a result of the communication with both of these contractors and hired someone else myself. The following day, I noticed that there were 2 charges on my account 1. For services (not performed) and 2. A cancellation fee. I did get both of these reversed, but of course it takes time for the charged to be refunded, which is fine, but charging me for something that was never performed seems ridiculous. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AVOIDING THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!
Thieves! Last month spent $2880. 00 on 16 leads which we tried calling to get credits. We had people calling for storm damage who already knew which contractor they wanted they just needed additional quotes for insurance. We have also had false leads that say they need 10+ windows when they only needed 2, also TONS of no call backs or cancellations. Previously was told we could get credits after they "investigate" now the person is saying no credits because we cancelled our account this week after spending OVER $10,000.00 (!) in the last 6 months. Reported to BBB! This place needs to get SHUT DOWN!
These people are like a scam. They charge you for EVERYTHING and never get jobs for you. I have spent over 500 and no jobs!
Brent's Appliance Service installed a new part on my front loader washer. He was on-time, courteous, and efficient as well as reasonably priced. I will definitely use Brent's Appliance Service again and highly recommend him to anyone searching for a dependable and affordable appliance repair service in the Cambridge, Ohio area.
I had to have a support post in my carport replaced and I called A. P. Excavation to set up an appointment. The owner called me back quickly and was at my home the same day to give me a quote. The post was replaced the next day with the crew doing an excellent job.
I gave this Book Home Advisor 1 start, I would like to give it negative star. You book a job Heavy lift and moving. Home Advisor books one person. One person would have gotten hurt or damaged my walls in my home. There would have been no way one person could have moved a very large office desk down to my office. Only idiots would have book it that way.
DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE...
Worst lead generators on the market.
Competition in my industry (moving) is fierce. I respond immediately to my leads (within 1 min) and over 80% of the time, some other pro gets it first.
I'm paying $20-$30 per lead, most of which I never get a response. I've spent near $300 and got 2 jobs totaling 4hrs.
Not only are these leads overpriced, but they're also low quality. Home Advisor is clearly another group of salespeople pushing their product to maximize their profits at their service provider's, and their customer's, expense.
I'm going back to Thumbtack
Alicia pretends to be helpful and friendly. Did not listen to my needs. Did not provide receipts needed for taxes after asking multiple times. Did not do what she expressed she would do in the amount of time and for the amount of $$$.
I am pro register in home advisor. They are unclear. And charge you money for everything. Do not dare to think they will give you money back because the won't!
Terrible customer service for the pros. Scam artists that give sh*t leads that don't have good contact numbers and charge no matter what. Cancelled within 3 days and say I owe them... Send me to collections. Good luck if you use them. I wouldn't use them if that was my only option. Go to Google or Facebook
After spending 800 without result, I told them to stop and the still went ahead to deduct 150 from my credit card.
I allowed a contractor Roan (Jamaican guy) to remodel my shower. He sent over 2 drug addicts he found on craigslist to complete the shower. By the time they left they stole my tools I purchased and did not cover the shower drain so there is tile and adhesive all in the drain. They did not put the molding back on the wall. If a Roan come your way from conyers run as fast as you can. He also avoid your calls once you have a complaint and will not give receipts as promised.
I am totally in love with my newly landscaped back yard. Alan came over and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. He felt like a friend coming over to help. He told me what materials he would be using and quoted me a price. Alan came by and checked on his workers. The got the job done in less time than they said they would Alan is a great man to work with and I love the results. If you need some landscaping done, call Alan's Nature's Way.
I had Reliable tree service which Home Advisor had call me and they were great workers did a great job removing huge dead tree and large limbs over carport. They cleaned up every limb. And most of all they came just before Dorian hit.
Columbus Asphalt Pros Did not clean up and left material laying in my yard. Called numerous times and was promised results that never happened. Would never recommend.
Do not trust Riley Electric. Never on time and always has an excuse for lateness. Took over 3 weeks from start to finish! I would never consider hiring him to change a light bulb. I should have been forewarned when I saw how disorganized his truck was inside
Truck was ins
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
