I was looking for a reliable electrician for a project after being burnt by another contractor on a different project (did not use HomeAdvisor). After using this site, they matched me with a few electricians and while I was reviewing the results, I received a call from one of the highest rating ones and was extremely pleased with the match. If this is how great all matches are on this site, why use any other listing site?

I was able to find a company to repair the HVAC system at my beach home using HomeAdvisor. I was surprised only two providers showed up on your list considering the population of this area (28512). I was also surprised to receive a phone call from one of the companies a few hours later, which I didn't care for. I would prefer to use HA as a resource that allows me to review the providers and choose which I want to contact. In this case, once I had identified the name of the provider I wanted to contact first, I found their phone number elsewhere and called them directly rather than waiting for your service to feed them my name and have them call me.

I am a contractor. I called to get information about the company and liked what I heard. The salesmen told me I had to pass a background/credit check - so I gave him my info & credit card info. I was told when I passed the background/credit check I would get a call and we could go over pricing and what it would cost... 1 week later my e-mail was full of spam from the company offering other items. I called HomeAdvisor and was given the runaround...so I check my bank statement and found out HomeAdvisor charged me $300. I turned the account off, called, raised hell. Finally got someone in cust. ser. that told me though "You didn't cancel the account within the first 2 days."
When I told her the story she said..."Well your sales rep may have gotten busy and just forgot to call." When I told her that was not my fault, why was I being charged when I didn't agree to it...she had no answer and said that is the way it is. I called my bank and they credited me the money. A few days later HomeAdvisor called and said I was being turned into the credit collections for non-payment. I told them to go jump - currently have a case in small claims for the credit collections. BAD BAD company. If you are a contractor DO NOT FALL FOR the sales pitch.

HomeAdvisor is a shady company! I run a business so I called to check on their rates. We're a startup so honestly it was over our budget. No problem there, I told them to check back with me in a couple months. One day I googled my business and a PPC add popped up. I clicked on it thinking someone was using our name. It went to a generic page with a phone number. I called it and it was HomeAdvisor. They set up a PPC add to steal my customers. To think, I planned on using them, I just couldn't afford them yet. So I contact them via live chat. They say they have no knowledge of that phone number belonging to them. So I let the guy know I called and they answered. He says he will pass the information on to his boss. Next day it magically disappears. Stay Away from HomeAdvisor. Shady Shady Shady!

I was recruited by HomeAdvisor salesperson Rich who told me I would receive leads from HA and I would pay for these leads. My main concern to him was I wanted to control how many leads I would get. Rich assured me I would be in full control of how many leads I would get. I told him I would like 10 a month. Again he assured me I could control how many leads I would get and I could turn them on and off at my discretion. So based on that I signed up. He then told me I would go on a conference call and had to answer each question I was asked with a YES no matter what the question was and that it was just to get me entered in their system and someone would call me the next day or so and go over how everything worked and then someone would go over with me how the website worked.
None of this turned out to be true. The amount of leads I thought I was going to have turned into a price target of leads not the amount of leads (which was my main concern). No one contacted me or went over the website. So far about 4 lies. Part of the conference call mentioned something about a price target which I didn't know what they were talking about but was assured would be explained to me by phone the next day or so. What happened was I received about 6 leads the first day and 5 leads the second day which came to about $191.00 in 2 days. That was way above the 10 leads per month which I wanted and way above the price target which I agreed to on the conference call which was I think 350.00 per month. If you do the math and multiply 191.00 in 2 days for a month you get about 2,865.00 for the month. So even if you say I went along with the price target again I was lied to.
I went on the website and figured how to pause my leads while I straightened this out. They did credit me back with some of the money but charged me for several which is wrong. I then turned my leads on again and in one day I received 6 more which again is way over the amount I agreed to. They told me I agreed to a price target of 350.00 on the conference call, but even if that is true getting this many leads each day for 3 days is way over the amount I requested and way over the price target which I was told I had to agree with or I couldn't be approved. Again misleading and dishonest.
I have called 6 times to get satisfaction with no luck. All contractors and handymen out there be careful of this dishonest company. When I tried to get my money back they told me I agreed to this, but when I told them they also agreed to a certain amount and was way over, all of a sudden the agreement didn't matter. Beware of this company. Please don't let them do to you what they did to me!!!

I wish I'd known how easy HomeAdvisor made finding a great contractor. It reduced the risks and frustrations involved in hiring at random and eliminated a lot of time and calls. It was refreshing to find a contractor who was professional enough to return calls/emails and show up and deliver when promised. I'll definitely use HomeAdvisor for future jobs.

I responded to an email from HomeAdvisor asking if I was looking for a landscaper. I completed the form in hopes of getting the names of contractors that I could research and contact to get estimates. Instead, within hours, I began being inundated with emails and phone calls from contractors. I immediately called HomeAdvisor and asked them to remove all of my information and to inform any potential contractors to NOT contact me. I explained that I did not intend to sign up to be solicited. I was told it was taken care of, but the calls continued. I called back again and they said they would again attempt to remove my name and number.
The calls stopped, but then eight days later, a contractor showed up at my door, IN MY GATED COMMUNITY, ringing the bell and knocking on my door. I was afraid to answer. He came into my private screened lanai! As he was driving away, I went out to stop him and speak to him. He got out of his vehicle and called me by my name and asked how I was doing - as if he were someone I knew! I asked him what he was doing here, how he got in my neighborhood, and HOW HE KNEW MY NAME! He said "Well I am with HomeAdvisor so I have your information." He said he told them at the gate that he had an appointment with me! HE LIED! (A side problem is absolutely with my front gate personnel.)
I took his card and told him he needed to get out of my neighborhood. After numerous phone calls to speak with a supervisor in Customer Care, I finally spoke with a supervisor and the response was basically as follows: They were sorry for the problem - however my gate should not have let the guy in! As far as their responsibility goes - they again removed my name from any list they have. And the supervisor told me that they will make a note in the contractor's file. They will not contact him to be sure he does not attempt to do this again. She stated that they can't be responsible for adult behavior! I tend to think that if I were to ever use a "referral" service, then I would expect that someone would have screens the people who they are referring. Apparently HomeAdvisor does not see this as their responsibility.
My gated community has many elderly people who live alone. I would feel awful if an un-ethical contractor came into my neighborhood throwing my name around and duped one of them out of money and/or God forbid he hurt one of them or stole from them. Yet HomeAdvisor says they "control adult behavior". While this may be true, I can't help but believe that. Now that they know this guy is a scammer, they should remove him from having access to the names, addresses, and phone numbers of people who make inquiries to them - or at least call them! But HomeAdvisor just makes a note in their file. So BEWARE of giving your information to HomeAdvisor. They do not assume responsibility for what happens to your information after that. I do hope that I have no repercussions from this contractor who I told I have now written a negative report about.

While talking with HomeAdvisor on the phone, I had 2 different services that they recommend call me. I ended up hiring the first one I talked to and that worked out well.

I told Mike the electrician to consider a different service. If I had not taken things into my own hands through Facebook, contacting the electrician who said HomeAdvisor never contacted him (HomeAdvisor sent me a cancellation notice) I would have hired someone else. The disconnect between HomeAdvisor and the electrician really stunk.

I clicked on the internet link that directed me to HomeAdvisor and found the local lawn service that filled my needs. The lady that assisted me on the phone was pleasant and very helpful and provided me with the necessary info. She was a great representative for HomeAdvisor. If all your customer service people are as helpful and pleasant as she was you have a great staff!

I originally wanted an estimate on interior door replacement for my home, but I ended up having the company replace my front door instead. I still plan on having the other project done in the near future, and I will use the same company. Work was done well, and they were easy to get a hold of. They responded quickly to my emails. Would highly recommend!!!

Ground Control replaced 5 posts and all boards on a 260 ft 4 board fence. Also painted entire project. Excellent price and job. Extremely pleased. I would highly recommend Ken and his company for fencing and similar projects. Ken was prompt in the bidding and accurate in the estimate. Great experience with his group.
