If you don't already have a number of repair professionals available to you, HomeAdvisor is the place to start. Plumbing is expensive and you want the work done right. 2 of the 3 professionals recommended could have done the job.

As a contractor, we have a different spin on HomeAdvisor. While the service is free to consumers, they make their money using dishonest tactics and by hosing the business owners who are trying to make an honest living. We've owned our landscaping company for over 16 years. We were contacted by HomeAdvisor to become one of their "exclusive" contractors, telling us that they do extensive background checks and only accept a small number of businesses who meet their standards. Once we agreed to join, then they told us about the $1,200 "administrative fee" they charge to help cover their costs. We later found out there's no background check - they never had us sign releases (required for legitimate background checks), they never asked for references or customer contacts, and they never called anyone or made inquiries of any kind. The $1,200 fee was bogus.
We were then required to participate in an online "training session" that was supposed to help us learn how to use the service. We quickly realized it's a canned, pre-recorded session made to sound like you're in an online conference, when really it's a sales gimmick to buy their "support program." We never asked or signed up for this service, but later discovered they were charging us $60 a month for "support" we never received. We asked numerous times for it to be cancelled, which took 8 months with no refund of the charges. There is no actual training offered, or even online tutorials, that ever showed us how to use the service.
As far as the bids for customer service, I do have to give HomeAdvisor credit. They have a service that could potentially work for contractors if there was a fair and equitable way to earn bids. Instead, their current business practices are a disgrace and serve only them. First, there is no background check. Consumers not be given a false sense of security that their contractor has met any special requirements. Anyone who pays the $1,200 gets accepted. Second, we were not part of a small "exclusive" group of contractors, but were competing against a huge pool of other contractors. We were grossly misled about the pool of contractors being selected, and there was certainly no indication of any quality control.
This is the kicker, and how HomeAdvisor truly makes their money: Every consumer request for work gets sent to every HomeAdvisor contractor who offers the service requested. Consider the number of contractors that are given the consumer's personal information, including a home address and phone number. Not a small, exclusive group of verified contractors - but thousands of contractors who pay to get on the list. Next, HomeAdvisor charges each contractor for that one bid. We were charged anywhere from $24 up to $65 FOR EACH BID. They required a checking debit card to be added to our account, and they automatically charged us for every bid they sent.
Understand that hundreds, if not thousands, of contractors are being sent the same bid, and each one pays - whether you get the bid or not. Do the math: one bid sent to say 100 contractors with each one charged $40 = HomeAdvisor just made $4,000 by pushing a button. Do that ten times a day, that's $40,000. In reality they send thousands of birds every day and they're making billions.
To exemplify their greed, HomeAdvisor sends a ridiculous number of bids in the beginning, with several of them hundreds of miles away from our service area, and some were in other states. They said we set up our account wrong and were not going to refund the charges, when they are the ones who actually set up the account with inaccurate information that just happened to line their pockets.
The pool of contractors was so big that we rarely ever had a chance to win a bid. There's a number of contractors out there who have someone in the office who will immediately answer every bid that comes in, forcing out any of the competition. In 12 months, we were charged thousands of dollars for the four bids we actually won.
The worst tactic is how difficult it is for a contractor to close their account. When you call, you're told by the agent that they aren't authorized to close accounts. They can only submit the request, put our account on hold, and someone will call us within 48 hours to complete the cancellation process. They wouldn't tell us when they're calling, so unless we answered our phone 24/7 we could easily miss the call. Or they would call in the middle of the night. Or they wouldn't call at all. After 48 hours they would reactivate our account and start sending us bids again. It took us over 6 months to finally get our account closed, which only happened after our debit card expired and they could no longer charge us.
Consumers need to know that this "free" service is being paid for off the backs of honest, hard working contractors. HomeAdvisor's business practices are deplorable, and for a fully automated system, they're making billions using sneaky and dishonest tactics. If you want to find a good contractor, take the time to look locally, ask your friends and neighbors who they use, or stop and ask when you see someone doing a good job. Good, old fashioned word of mouth - a truly "free" method for all involved.
Hi Lisa, We're sorry you feel this way about our business. We're concerned you may be confusing aspects of our service with another one, as many of the statements you have made are incorrect.
The membership fee you paid was $347.98, there is no 'administrative fee' of $1,200. We absolutely background check our pros, you may find more information about that process here: http://www.homeadvisor.com/screening/. Leads are not sent to all pros who offer the service, they are sent to a maximum of four, while many are sent to fewer. As we are a nation-wide company, it would not be a sound strategy to send a lead to every eligible business on our network. While your coverage area is completely up to you, leads that come in from outside of this desired area are eligible for credit.
When you request to cancel our service, your account is placed on hold, and will not be taken off this hold, until you speak with an account specialist. Account specialists do not work 24 hours a day and will make multiple attempts to contact you during our normal business hours. You are also more than welcome to call Customer Care and be transferred to the next available specialist in real time.
We hope this provides some clarification about our business and your experience. If you would like to speak with a rep, please reach out to emailus@homeadvisor.com and we will follow up. -HASupport

Contractors, be careful when signing up for HomeAdvisor services. HomeAdvisor does not vet the customer referral. They collect because they don't charge the consumer. They rely totally on the customer filling out the applications correctly and that they are not truly looking for a contractor to do the work. Many customers that use the service are fishing and picking the contractors brain, knowing darn well that they're not going to do the work through a contractor. In many cases they plan to do the work themselves. I have over 40 examples of wasted money being spent this way with homeadvisor.
One of my first examples is a gentleman requested a bid for a new custom home. I asked him four questions. Number one "Do you own the property?" Answer was no, not yet. Question two "Do you have an architect?" Answer was no. Question three "Do you have a budget or financing?" Answer no. Question four, "Do you have an idea of the square footage you're interested in building?" and the same answer a customer says no.
Hi Tony, We're sorry to hear about your experience, we do our best to provide you with the tools and opportunities to land more work. We are always happy to discuss practices that will help maximize your success with our service. Also, among a number of other situations, leads from consumers that do not own the property are eligible for credit.
