Good News. Recently I had two handyman jobs done by Goody's. Their team was great. They completely satisfied my expectations. I had a double pane slider replacement installed and faucet replacement plumbing work. Both jobs done promptly, within estimate. And clean. I highly recommend their team. I will be using them again soon.
I checked my business profile on Google was shocked when I found out porch used my company identity to solicate quotes I immediately called them. Multiple calls multiple days no response. Steer clear of these parasites I only hit one star because a lower rating isn't a option

Nothing $#*! porch
They do not honor the refund policy they'll try to find any excuse literally not to refund. And everytime they call it's only to upsell another subscription tier, also they lie about "free advertising" on their app
I already caught them lying saying I was on their for being a yearly member lol they're full of $#*!
I wanted to have professional guy for my project, so i found this website, but it did not work out, responded repairman did not finish his work and then does not answer on my phone calls. Got in touch with the Porch.com, they did not resolve even close my issue, they even did not apologize for.
Do not recommend this website...
I've been a porch professional for more than 4 years. I stopped using them for lack of quality leads and they enticed me with "verified leads". Those leads were far and few between. I have since stopped using them and have a balance of $350 and they refuse to refund my money. Looking at their current lead opportunities, the nearest lead is 40 miles away. Don't use them. They are withering away, having less and less relevant leads and just don't do what they promise as they pressure you back into re-signing up.
Tip for consumers:
Don't sign up!

Verified Leads for Kitchen & Bath Remodeling
We are a cleaning business registered on their website.
Everytime we see a good lead, we pay for it ($18 each) and we can never get a hold of the person interested in the service.
We call, text and they never answer.
Porch says we need to call to get a refund. As a family owned business we are always busy and I have no time to be talking to a represenrative trying to make me advertise for more money instead of buying individual leads.
This website is not suitable for small business and people should have more concience when posting a request for a job!
Companies like ours are struggling to get more business and wasting the little money we have is unfair.
This month only we lost 36 buying 2 leads and people NEVER answered our calls or message. Done with porch
Porch wont have our business again.

Cant use their service if nobody who post on their website answer calls or texts.
Don't waste your time with the lead generation business. Leads are poor, and they don't honor there refund policies!
Tip for consumers:
Poor customer service. They never pick up there phones, but they like to leave meassage to avoid dealing with customers upset with there service!
Arrived on time. Appeared neat and professional snd did an excellent job
Sayonara Pest Control came and did a professional job. They will return and seal a vent opening in the basement and place some traps on the exterior of the home. I will recommend them without reservation
Two years ago I hired a contractor off of Angi and had to sue the contractor Mold Mitigation BY Murphy. I won the lawsuit. I sent a copy of the lawsuit default to Angi band Mold Mitigation By Murphy from their website. Now I see Mold Mitigation BY Murphy on Porch ripping customers off. I sent a copy of the lawsuit default judgement to Porch but they refuse to kick them off of their website.
Within an hour after filling request I received a call giving contact information concerning a reliable local contractor.
I'll neve put a single dollar again on this scam platform! I spent money and never received at least a message from any customer! Terrible company!
I tried twice to get some help using Porch. They provided about 6 different telephone number to contact, but when I tried to contact them I got no answers from any of the numbers provided.
We have been using Porch for a while, the quality of leads are getting really bad. Non-connection leads are a standard norm for them. If you accidentally leaving a message for the customer for over 60 seconds (some people's voice message is long to begin with), even at 61 seconds, Porch consider it a connection made. My advise is don't waste your time or money on their service. Period!
Tip for consumers:
Don’t waste your time on the leads. The quality of the leads are bad compared to other services we use. If you happen to get a hold of the customer. The customer has been contacted by other lead sources too, so you have not only Porch selling the same leads to 3 contractors, the same lead was also shared with other lead companies. Don’t waste your time or money.
Products used:
Purchased leads from Porch.com. We were on an subscription account that Porch will auto charge our account every 2 weeks to bring back to the set amount. If you happen to leave a 61 second message, even though no connections were made, porch still consider that a connection made.

Hired "handyman" with 44 years experience. Big mistake! Terminated him before project completed because he left us with a huge mess, did not cover anything up while tape, bedding and painting. Had to use our personal dumpster to haul off debris, just not up to standards. Way too expensive for what little result we received. Would not recommend, refer and definitely no hire. Extremely poor rating.

My worker was professional and courteous.
When I called to ask for someone to reinstall my blinds it was estimated at a 3 hour job. I told the person that I could do it myself in 3 hours, so he estimated it would be 2 hours. All 10 of my blinds were installed and the worker was out of my house in 45 minutes. It was a simple job that I couldn't do myself. I expected an adjustment on the charges.
I had a review of another I company I used and gave them a 1 star rating on Porch and Angie's list, well the company and I have since settled our differences. I contacted both sites and asked them to change my rating of the company and delete my previous posts. Home Advisors ( Angie's List) called me within 2 hours of my request and changed my review and deleted my previous post. 5 days later I am still waiting on Porch to do the same. How would you like it if it was your business and you still had a negative review, due to this company?
Inadvertently sent to this company twice. Both times they had the wrong project written down. Received multiple calls for services I didn't ask for. Called me at 7am 4x in a row. 2 reps hung up on me as soon as I stated I wasn't interested. Call center tried to get me to an agreement to receive additional solicitations for other "related" services. Received multiple calls after saying no to this. Stay as far away from this service as possible.

I contacted Andrew Slabaugh (Circle S Investments Inc.) regarding installation of fencing. He was able to schedule the work within a week. He installed over 82 ft of fencing, to include gate, in less than a day. Fencing is beautiful and the price is right. Highly recommend Andrew!
Porch landscaper took me for $2900 with no work done, criminal charges filed. Porch refuses to stand up to their guarantee although they said they had approved the $1000.If possible zero stars would be appropriate. Cecil Durham. Proof of purchase etc already sent and approved.
Hello Ms. Cecil Durham. This is certainly not the experience we aim to deliver at Porch, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We would like reconfirm that the documents were submitted for the payment process to begin. Payments are made every Thursday of every week, it will just depend on where you are on the list of people that are also waiting on their refund. We ask to please be patient, and if you still have not received the payment by next Thursday, then we can see if it can be expedite it. Again, we apologize for your experience and appreciate your feedback as it helps us provide better service moving forward.
Thanks for your input. Bye. Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeee
I bought properly 10 leads from these guys not one of them has panned out and every single time I purchased one I have to spend 45 minutes on the phone with them trying to get a refund. And half of them if you actually get a hold of somebody which is rare. There's not even any job to be had. I think they're just playing the numbers and hope they don't have to refund everybody when they send out fake leads they're probably killing it. Avoid like the plague

Our job was fairly easy, or so we thought. Our job consisted of removing carpet from our breakfast (137 sq ft) nook and installing vinyl planking. Although it took him all day, the porch handyman did a good job of installing our vinyl wood plank flooring, but he did a terrible job with the floor to carpet transition strips. When he removed the carpet, he did not leave enough carpet flap even though my husband told him to. He said he'd ‘take care of it.' Well, he didn't. What was left were two incomplete transitions. I called porch the following day asking them to send me an experienced floor person to complete, they did, but it was the same handyman! Still looking for someone to correct the job.

This project started out small and got larger once we discovered the true water damage to my laundry room. But, we all took it in stride and removed the damage wood and drywall, dried everything else, installed new floor, tile and drywall. The result was wonderful. My husband and I will put the finishing touches on it, but it was a wonderful transformation and we love it. I will definitely call Free My Timber, Inc anytime I need more work completed.
