What is HomeAdvisor?

HomeAdvisor is a free online resource for homeowners. The company helps match you with a professional in your area that offers the services you need. The site provides estimated costs for services to help you understand what to expect when requesting quotes. HomeAdvisor has an online booking tool that lets you schedule a fixed-price service without picking up the phone.

Services available on HomeAdvisor include maid services, plumbing repairs, lawn care, electrical services, general contracting and hundreds of others. In general, you can book any home-related work through HomeAdvisor.

The company backs its service with a Happiness Guarantee, promising to make it right if something goes wrong.

How does HomeAdvisor work?

Using HomeAdvisor's site, you can search for local contractors for multiple types of home repairs or home services. HomeAdvisor prescreens each company and its owner to ensure proper licensing and customer satisfaction.

HomeAdvisor matches you with a contractor by guiding you through a series of questions and providing you with quotes from qualified local contractors. You can also book a fixed-price service immediately online. Alternatively, you can use the search bar to search for a local page for your area and see a list of companies. HomeAdvisor provides a snapshot of each company with relevant information such as services, reviews and phone numbers.

As you compare options, you can directly reach out to HomeAdvisor by phone or live chat.

If you’re not yet ready to contact a local professional, read through some of HomeAdvisor’s articles about the topic you’re searching. The company’s “Resource Center” section of its website contains a library of information about home services and projects.

HomeAdvisor cost

HomeAdvisor is completely free to use for homeowners searching for information about contractors and professionals in their area. There is no obligation to book a service if you choose to receive quotes.

For contractors who want to promote their business using the platform, HomeAdvisor charges a membership fee of around $300 per year, plus additional fees per lead (anywhere between $15 to $60). The exact cost depends on the business’s location and industry. This price per lead is charged even if the lead doesn’t turn into a customer.

HomeAdvisor FAQ

How much does it cost to be on HomeAdvisor?

Companies pay to be featured on HomeAdvisor. They pay a membership fee and a price per lead that varies depending on industry and location. Homeowners who are searching for a professional do not need to pay.

Is HomeAdvisor trustworthy?

For the most part, bad reviews are typically specific to contractors, not homeowners. HomeAdvisor prescreens each business on its site and shows ratings and reviews from previous customers. The company has handled over 100 million service requests, according to its website.

Is HomeAdvisor worth using?

Yes. Because it’s a free site, HomeAdvisor is a great way to start your search when looking for contractors. Of course, always ask friends and family for recommendations and advice as well.

Is HomeAdvisor free?

HomeAdvisor is free for homeowners to use. It does charge contractors who want to be featured on the site.

Is HomeAdvisor legit?

Using HomeAdvisor is a good way for homeowners to find vetted contractors in their area. However, because contractors pay to be featured on the website, it doesn't offer a full picture of all the options available locally. If you’re searching for a local home repair or improvement provider and want to read reviews from other customers, we recommend using HomeAdvisor.

    if you’re a professional business, looking to get more leads, do not use Home Advisor by Angie’s List. It will be nothing but a headache from day one. Their leads are pure crap. They’re just sometimes people looking at what it would cost to get a kitchen renovated and they’re not in the market to do anything like that. They charge you also top dollar for a lead instead of a wide variety. Our contract said they would charge us anywhere from $38 up to $135 per lead and how convenient each lead that we always get is always $135 so on a $700 budget you can see that doesn’t last very long and especially when they’re giving you crap leads and sometimes the lead costs actually cost more than an actual job.

    If someone wants one bathroom cabinet installed, which has happened to us another thing that’s happened to us which turns this company into a complete crooks is if you have money left over on your account for leaks for the month you can just say goodbye to it because you know what they do. They keep your money. They do not roll it over to the following month at all. This happened to us today November 2025 that we had $385 left on our account for leads and you would think that that money would roll over to the next month because it wasn’t used but Marvin at home advisor Angi said, "If you don’t use all your money by the end of the month you can just say goodbye to it."

    What a shitty company this is. We got two leads in one month and not one of them was worth $135 per lead and then they steal the other 385 instead of being hey let’s roll it over to the next month but still charge our client for the following month for $700. That way your client would be happy and they might generate more leads for that month because they had more money to spend, but no what they do is crooked. They're thieves, and they steal your money stay away from them. That’s all. I gotta say it’ll be nothing but a headache and when you reach out to them about it, they say they bring it up to the higher-ups, but they never ever do and nothing ever ever comes from it.

      0 Star Review – Stay Away from HomeAdvisor/Angi. I never write reviews, but this company deserves every word. HomeAdvisor and Angi have been one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had as a contractor. The leads they send are garbage. Most of them are people who have no money, no real project, and no intention of hiring anyone. They just waste your time and your money.

      Customer service is terrible. Once they get you to sign up, you are on your own. The salespeople are smooth talkers. They promise you the world when they want your credit card, but once you start seeing how bad their service is, they completely disappear. They just keep giving the same excuses over and over again for months on end. When I tried to cancel, they told me I would have to pay a $1,200 cancellation fee. They don’t care that their system doesn’t work. They don’t care that the leads are fake or unverified. All they care about is taking your money.

      There is no customer care, no honesty, no integrity. Just a company full of people trained to sell lies and lock contractors into useless contracts. I am disgusted by how they treat small business owners who work hard for their money. If you are a contractor thinking about joining HomeAdvisor or Angi, do yourself a favor and stay far away. They will waste your time, your money, and your patience. I wish someone had warned me before I signed up. Consider this your warning.

      I am very happy with the "EM EXTERIORS LLC" work they did on the siding of my home, and they did the skirting, and it was a excellent job. I will recommend them to anybody that asked me about siding jobs for a mobile home. They've had a interesting way of doing the at base by used 2 x 6 for the base of the skirting. They also do other construction work too.

      I am a contractor who signed up with Home advisor to provide quotes to customers. As soon as I accept a lead for a quote I am charged $150 +. I have accepted 7 leads within 10 days for a whopping $1,070.00, 5 leads seemed to be bogus as I was unable to make contact, with wrong numbers, wrongs emails etc..... Couldn't make a single quote to anyone. When calling customer service, it's a call center not in the US. Denied all reimbursement for bogus leads.

      Anyone who uses Angi Leads Pro is either very desperate or an idiot. This is the worst service you can work with. Absolutely zero accountability towards contractors. They just need how to steal the money and wash their hands from any responsibility.

      Angi/Home Advisor is the worst lead service provider for Water and Microbial mitigation contractors. The deception is prevalent throughout the organization, is built into their sales, legal and accounting practices, not to mention the quality of the leads themselves. The sales organization is deceptive and aggressive with deceptive sales pitches e.g. Promise of lead are often based on a large area and based on a number of categories. There is also very apt at subtle words like 12 month contract, instead the contract is for 13 billing cycle contract at 28 day billing cycle.

      The worst was the lead volume and quality. The initial volumes are based a large territory, and for categories which might not be absolute interest. Recommend asking to breakdown of volume for each category and specific zip code prior to signing up. The lead quality was the last straw, Found many leads from unresponsive phone numbers, no customer at the end of the number, belligerent customers who claim they were just researching and never requested any actual service.

      The operating procedures/systems such as the app and communication mechanisms are just as helpless for emergency services. The app does not show the customer's phone number, instead you are given a pseudo number, where you have no idea if the customer is receiving the call backs or messages. Contractors offering non-emergency services might have a different experience.

      The accounting team is very crafty, try calling them to cancel they will take you through tall promises, convincing scripts of making changes which will deliver massive results, something new every time. But finally very hard to cancel like the Gym membership. Overall, If you are a emergency services provider this is a bad platform.

      Angi (formerly HomeAdvisor) is a scam. Most “leads” were fake — people who never asked for service or didn’t even understand why I was calling. Customer service puts you on hold, then disconnects, and refuses refunds for fraudulent leads. Their sales reps rushed me into a contract, and when I tried to cancel I discovered hidden terms demanding 35% of the remaining annual balance. I have proof, and we are already a group of 45+ business owners with recorded calls, customer conversations, messages, and evidence showing the same scam. 👉 If you’ve been scammed too, comment with your story — we’re collecting everything together.

      In Nov 2023, I contracted Simco Contracting for a $150K, 900 sq. ft. addition. At their suggestion, the scope expanded to $300K for a two-level suite, garage, driveway with sewer relocation, and new deck. I paid $90K down in Nov 2023. In Mar 2024, Simco began demolition without permits, removing my deck, parking, French drain, block wall, and part of a concrete retaining wall—causing drainage failure, hazardous ponding, and business losses from lost parking. After city approval in Jun 2024, Simco refused to proceed without $35K more for sewer and excavation already in scope. I paid the added costs, but work never resumed. Simco also failed to replace shingles and retaining walls, leading to cancellation of my homeowner’s insurance. As of Aug 2025, no construction progress has occurred, property damage persists, I remain uninsured, and I continue to suffer financial and business losses due to their breach of contract.

      My Angi.com account does not let me log in to the website or my app even though they have a job posted on my account. I tried to contact support for Angi and Homeadvisor 4 times via email and twice by talking to a sales rep on the phone who would not transfer me to tech support, apparently because they no longer have any tech support. I plan to close my account.
