So thanks to this loser cheating site my customer got screwed. I've had customers for years that call me even if a weed grows from a new spot. So my customer calls me for a siding job, i give her the price and surprisingly haven't heard back from her. So i give her a follow up call and she says my price was way more than what home advisor says its worth on their website. WHAT? HOME ADVISOR dictates prices now? Sure OKAY... 3 weeks later her husband calls me and says he has an emergency. The emergency was they hired a Home Advisor bum that was using staples to install siding... Yes staples to install siding. 1 inch staples none the less. So this review is more of a F>U Home Advisor for destroying our industry putting out claims of how cheap work should be. If your sending desperate dogs out to do a cheap job then go right ahead and sell cheap $#*! work without falsely advertising folks are getting the best in town for half the price, but - do not for a minute think you can tell people that a good job costs half of what its worth. These people got played while this scam company probably made $200 off sending dumb asses to them. AND BTW HOW EXACTLY DOES HOME ADVISOR VET CONTRACTORS? WITH A DRIVERS LICENSE- DID YOU GO OUT AND CHECK PAST JOBS FOR QUALITY? DIDNT THINK SO BUT YOU'LL BULL$#*! ON TV THAT YOU COMPLETELY VET JUNKIES

So i had some good reviews on Yelp. One day i get a call to sign up for paid service because they thought my company had great customer service. I pretty much said no thanks and hung up. Next thing i know im browsing search results for my company and the 47 reviews were gone. Mind you these were all 5 star reviews. Guess what they left a lonely 1 star review. 47 star reviews gone and one 1 star review remains. Hmmm something doesnt seem right. Oh well. Then i get a call Yelp saying they strong encourage me to start paying for advertising because their review policies have changed and 5 star ratings can be posted with a paid subscription. Well Yelp hope you shove those 5 star reviews as far up your $#*! as possible because all 47 customers and 100's others just keep coming in for our great service. Every dog has its day. And to Russel Simmons that is a founder here - you call yourself a public figure - Yea Ill slap you $#*! like $#*!es in brooklyn get slapped for being $#*!es.

I used Thumbtack to search for a contractor. They were all clearly cheaper than Home Advisor contractors so I hired one. I saw the guy throwing up one morning and asked if he was okay. He said he wasn't feeling good, i insisted the poor guy leave and come back tomorrow. GUESS WHAT... he never came back, left his tool bag here and my husband for a package of drugs in it. I was furious... I called Thumbtack to complain and ask how this guy was able to be referred by them and they told me anyone can sign up. YOU JUST SENT A JUNKIE TO MY HOUSE I SAID. They said they would look into it. End of story, the guy never came back took $1000 of my money probably spent $100 of it here and it's all my fault looking for these cheap quotes. HOME ADVISOR has real pro's thats for sure.
