HomeAdvisor (Powered by Angi) Reviews

Nice work and found good company to install the flooring.

Furnace replacement - This is a very expensive job to have done and I looked to HomeAdvisor for reviews since this is my first experience having this type of work done.

I have posted few home remodeling projects and there are people who respond to it. HomeAdvisor does a good job of filtering the right licensed people and have a good review system for each of them. I like the review section where one can post why he did or did not select a contractor and if the project was complete or not.

I saw the ad on TV and went to the website. Filled out my request and within 10 minutes received a phone call and within an hour-ish Oscar was at our home giving a bid. Hired on the spot. Was on time everyday, cleaned up, and came back for nail pops that we missed. Very conscientious and professional.

Worker installed on/off valves and new faucets for two sinks in a quick, neat, and timely manner.

My advisor asked all the right questions; had a proper attitude; made it clear to me what his role was in helping me find the right contractor. This was the best customer service I've had over the phone in a long time. Don't change your script. It works!

Although these guys did connect me with a great resource, I received so many phone calls from other gutter services. Not sure how they got my number but my phone rang constantly until about two weeks later.

Very happy with the company I hired thru HomeAdvisor.

I use HomeAdvisor for all of my projects. So far the Pros that was recommended were all good. Thanks.

Asphalt parking area patch and seal. Good references and follow up from HomeAdvisor.

Excellent carpet install. James was on time, fair on pricing, professional, friendly, knowledgeable. Would HIGHLY recommend.

The website fields are easy to understand and filled. The engine of finding pros is immediate. The pros call immediately and try to deliver service at the first available opportunity.

They did a great job, had a very competitive price and had the correct equipment to do the job correctly. Would definitely recommend them!!

I hired Shellback Plumbing from HomeAdvisor. Great company. Great service, HomeAdvisor.

My experience was great.

I answered a few basic questions and said I needed an immediate response. HomeAdvisor had me connected with Mathis Outdoor Inc. within 2 minutes. Extremely satisfied customer.

This is the second time I have worked with HomeAdvisor and both have been excellent experiences. Contractors have done what was expected and then some.

The first company had no idea to fix the tank, after several month of intermittent hot water. I have used you before for the fireplace and decided I needed someone that knows how to work on tankless heaters. The tech worked through the problem and fixed it. I would recommend the site. It is easy to use. I will continue to use it when I need home repairs.

Great experience. Will use again for other projects.

I needed a reputable lawn care specialist and a termite inspection. They recommended very reputable businesses and I will always go with HomeAdvisor for recommendations.

After calling HomeAdvisor I was connected with Mike at Gadget Installers within minutes. An appointment was made for the next day, and the installation was completed in about an hour. I would certainly recommend calling HomeAdvisor for any project you need done.

Outside pole light had a break in the underground line feeding the fixture. This required excavation and reinstalling a new underground cable. The original installation was not code compliant leading to its failure. Mr. ** was thoroughly professional, insisted on code requirements in the repair, and was thorough, efficient, and pleasant to work with.

Overall very satisfied with Ruby Plumbing service..

I've used HomeAdvisor many times and have never been disappointed with who came out for my various projects. The pricing from the Vendors was fair and the work was always well done. I'll continue to call HomeAdvisor for all my project needs.

Great person and very knowledgeable.

Fast service. Good suggestion and very helpful.

They contacted my husband because he has a painting business. They told him if he set up a website he would get job leads to enhance his business. Here's his own words: This company "HomeAdvisor" has high case sales people who will lie to Contractors, feeding on them, their goals and sales approach is all B.S. Don't trust what they tell you about leads that they send you on because they're all fake. I believe these leads they send you somehow work for the company because I recalled a voice from another call from the same day. When you figure them out and call back you can never get back in touch and they will send you in circles and charge you for a service you never got. Very unprofessional. I was suppose to be charged $250 per month, my first invoice was over a grand and that's within only two weeks, they should be reported to the Attorney General. I hope others don't fall for this like I did.

I had a good experience with HomeAdvisor.

Sweet Spot did an excellent job fixing the my furnace. Thank you Home Advisor.

Very pleased with my experience with HomeAdvisor.

HomeAdvisor was and has always been awesome. When I have an issue I get on and immediately find professionals who can help me out. I like that they usually call me, or I can call them. Also, I feel like the professionals know that their reviews on here are important, so I feel like if they have a good rating by enough people, then I can count on them doing a good job. Not to mention that some of the issues I've faced required a quick turnaround and through Home Advisor, that was possible.

I found a wonderful flooring company but I did get bids from two other individuals. As for the trim I need fixed I have talked with a couple people and they either didn't get back to me with a bid or didn't show up. I am still working on find someone to complete the job. I like having the access to companies but as with anything else a person still has to do their homework.

Please with contractors. 2nd time used HomeAdvisor. No complains as of to date. Have a couple other jobs left to be done in home. Will use HomeAdvisor for contractors. Have started mentioning, hopefully will start recommending to family and friends soon. I like that contractors already have some type of screening prior to me contacting and I can see reviews of their work. I like that I can also be responsible and give honest view of contractor work for other to see.

It was great. All the repair people were quick with contracting me for estimates. The company I chose was well priced, fast and professional. I was very happy with HomeAdvisor. I will use them again, and recommend them to anybody.

Showed up on time and did a great job. Very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to deal with a company that did what they said they would do especially when I didn't know who to turn to for the repair. Very impressed.

A tree fell in my yard and crushed a section of my fence. There were a few other fence areas which has suffered a similar fate over the years. The company cut up the tree and made all repairs and were very pleasant to deal with.

Being in a new area, we did not know who to contact. HomeAdvisor eliminated that concern with their vetting of their professionals.

Furniture repair. Pietro was knowledgeable, polite, on time and did good work.

Great experience with HomeAdvisor finding a equally great home repair service.

Needed a gas plumber. They found someone who could come out that day.

Frozen Pipe Repair. I initiated the conversation online on Sunday. Calls came in immediately. We agreed on Thursday for the repairs.

Very happy with Magic brush painters. They were on time and did fantastic work. Edging work was superb and there was no mess to clean up or paint to remove.

The gentleman that helped me when I called HomeAdvisor gave me the names of 3 companies... then told me that one had 29 reviews and a 4.98 rating and the next had 6 reviews and a 5 star rating and the last was new to the website. I then picked the first with 29 reviews. The HA gentleman spoke clear and asked if I was looking for additional work for the house. I did not have any and then hung up. Great experience from start to finish. Will definitely got thru HomeAdvisor in the future. Thanks!

Very helpful. Hired two of the companies recommended with very good results.

I have used this service several times over the past year or two, and I have nothing but praise for them. As fast as I get my information in the computer I receive a response. Very good service.

Repair alarm system - Excellent work, very knowledgeable.

They did great job on my patio door. The upstairs window leaked and they had to come back and repair it.

HomeAdvisor is very easy to use. I have used them a half dozen times or more when I don't know who to call to get work done around the house. All of the contractors call me within 24 hours and are professional and generally very reasonable. I have never had a problem and very happy with the service.

The first plumber I called from the list (JBI Plumbing and Heating) was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable. I had a reasonable estimate within 2 hours. The work was done well and the cleanup was excellent. Due to some underlying conditions, the cost was more than the estimate but still reasonable. I will use HomeAdvisor again.

I signed up with Home Advisor for a second time. The first time was ok, a few bumps and bruises along the way, but I would have given them a 3 star rating in 2013. Now they get one star, and if I could give zero stars I would. I signed up for a plan that would send me $300 worth of leads a month. In the first 3 weeks they BOMBARDED ME with $550.00 worth of leads. They say they send this out to 2 other people, but I saw 2 of my leads receive up to SEVEN people, 2 of which were not even for the service I provided (Painting) and they got leads for SNOW REMOVAL - WTF??? Really? I called my "rep" (which is only my rep for the first 29 days they say, then they don't care about you anymore), and all I heard was how horrible his job was, and how he was so overloaded. Save yourself the hassle, and build your own website that generates your leads for a tiny fraction of what home advisor will screw you out of.

Easy and quick reference for electrical service.

Drywall paste and texture. Pleasant on the phone.

Sprinkler repair. Received great service.

Needed an expert familiar with Wayne Dalton doors. Wayne Dalton customer service gave us one name. That person never responded. Chris from High Quality called, came out and repaired our garage door. Price was fair.

HomeAdvisor's recommended 2 repair shops in my area were both professional and the one selected, MGM's Cabinet Installation Service, exceeded my expectations in performing repairs to my front door at a lower cost than I had budgeted for.

HomeAdvisor was quick and easy to use. I was going to use another review service to locate a professional for tree removal. While searching and reading what seemed like dozens of reviews on the other site, I realized quickly that I did not know enough about tree removal to accurately evaluate the reviews I was reading and the companies that were being presented. I went to HomeAdvisor because HomeAdvisor sends the pros to you based on your search. I was presented with three or four good possible options and immediately started the quote process. I ended up with the first pro that I contacted, because he was just as good as his reviews suggested he would be.

Solar system wiring repair. Squirrels biting wires between panels with wire laying on roof. Wires were repaired, conduit was installed, and wires raised off roof!

I would go to HomeAdvisor before Angie's List. I have used both, and have had only success with HomeAdvisor.

HomeAdvisor has a great system to link consumers with resources. When I've spoken with HomeAdvisor staff, they've been very thorough and helpful - true can-do attitude!

Would use again.

Needed a small section of privacy fence replaced including a gate. Found a handyman service and was very happy with the result.

Excellent service. As my first use of HomeAdvisor, I entered the requested information regarding appliance repair. Several merchants were identified. I read reviews, scheduled an appointment, and all ended well.

Moving to drought tolerant landscape. Mr. ** was able to remove ALL existing grass and shrubs down to the roots. He was able to relocate 4 sprinkler heads. Prior application, he discussed with me the ORGANIC product that he would be using for weed control for the backyard. Overall did a very good job.

Easy to find and when I selected the company within a few minutes they called for appointment.

HomeAdvisor put me in touch with a gifted craftsman, who did a fabulous job for us. It was a pleasure to be contacted by this craftsman after information was input into the HomeAdvisor site. HomeAdvisor made the contacting process easy, in an area where not many craftspeople are available.

HomeAdvisor provided my information to 4 contractors. All contacted me and provided bids on the project. I was impressed with three of the four and a hard time choosing which contractor to go with. I am pleased with the outcome of the project.

I was very pleased with it all.

My experience with HomeAdvisor has been great. I have utilized the site on multiple occasions and have been more than pleased with the results.

Was extremely helpful in assisting me in locating a reputable repairman. Called to make sure the appointment was set, sent me emails confirming my appointment. Agent was understanding, kind, considerate, and very helpful.

The craftsman we found using HomeAdvisor turned out to be highly skilled, dependable, honest and pleasant to work with. He was all the HomeAdvisor profile suggested. We are happy.

This is a good service to find repair people.

I went online to the HomeAdvisor site and entered the information on the job I wanted to have done. I received two calls within the next hour and a third by morning. All three companies were professional and provided estimates. I think and of the three would have been fine but I was extremely pleased with the company I picked. I have used HomeAdvisor in the past and it's always a pleasant experience.

Prompt responses. Qualified businesses and technicians. Very good resource on several occasions. KUDOS!

Pipes were leaking. Provided information to HomeAdvisor and the plumber called almost immediately. Hired the plumber that was recommended and the work was done in a timely, though somewhat expensive manner. I will no doubt use HomeAdvisor again in the future as my plumbing problem was repaired the same day! I will also recommend HomeAdvisor to my family and friends.

HomeAdvisor has a great matching system of professionals who are licensed/bonded. Great service overall.

Great service and quick respond.

Very helpful with their knowledge about the company that I was asking about. Also informed me of other services that are available. This was the first time that I used HomeAdvisor. Will definitely use them again.

Within a few hours, we went from finding a problem with the stucco to finding HomeAdvisor online to having an expert call us back and set up an appointment. Here it is about ten days later, and everything is finished and looks great. The company had to take off loose stucco, apply fresh stucco all over the house, and then paint. We couldn't be happier!

Job done as I had requested and good value.

No fault of HomeAdvisor that one of the companies didn't contact me. Overall happy with contractors provided.

Went on HomeAdvisor.com at 10:30. Got a phone call from a qualified, fair priced handyman in my area by 10:45; he came to look at the project at 11:45. Gave us a quote, which we accepted. The two small repairs were done by 1 p.m. We are 100% satisfied and will definitely use the professional's service as well as HomeAdvisor again.

If you want a quick and easy way to connect with companies for your home improvement needs, HomeAdvisor is the place to go. From the estimate to the completion of the project, you feel empowered to make informed decisions with HomeAdvisor.

Within minutes of completing the form I was contacted by a contractor. Things went quickly from there and the work was completed promptly and to my complete satisfaction.

The company that I chose was top drawer and the reviews on HomeAdvisor were key in my contractor selection. Compared to what I am experiencing on another home project, this was far and beyond better. Wish I'd come here first for my other work!

They were fast and very polite. They helped reassure me they could find me a snow plower to plow 13 inches of snow on my driveway.

This is my go-to site when I need anything done for my home! Don't feel the need to consult or go to any other site.

We almost resigned to replace our whole heating system at a time when we were not prepared to do so. Through HomeAdvisor we found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing who was willing and able to make the necessary repairs to restore our hot water at a fraction of the price. I am truly pleased with the outcome.

I was referred to this so called "handyman" by the HomeAdvisor website. After receiving my inquiry he called my home and at the time I was not available to speak on the phone so later I texted him and let him know that I would call him the next day. His reply was, "ok... So" which I thought was odd. The next day I contacted him again via email to ask if either Thursday (2/25) or Friday (2/26) would work with his schedule. His reply was that his schedule was always booked and that Thursday would not work for him.

Great, better than Angie's List.

Yesterday, my wife was just looking at the possibility of doing duct cleaning in our home, as well as hiring someone to do some house cleaning. She was very clear that she was JUST PLANNING. However, in the last 24 hours our phone has been ringing off the hook. HomeAdvisor is a scam if all they do is shoot out phone numbers to a variety of vendors in order to circumvent both the TCPA and no call lists with both KS and the Federal Government. I will be filing no call violations against every one of the companies that have called, as we have never done business with them and they do not have written permission to use autodialer technology to call us.

Know what they are doing and the easiest way to do it.

After searching and talking to some repair companies online like Sears, I used Affordable Appliance Repair, as they were cheaper and faster in repairing my broken washing machine. I have recommended them to my family and business friends who have rental properties for their appliance repairs.

I made a request online and never heard from anyone about the job when they claim will at least 3 responses. I contacted HomeAdvisor and a rep called me. She promised I would get 3 responses the next day - No one responded. Customer Service called and told me they would get me 3 the next day and an email from HomeAdvisor as to who to contact if I did not. I got no responses from contractors and no email from HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor cannot be depended on and you can't believe a word they say.

I didn't have to join anything. They gave me several potential service providers, and in the end the guy I got did a great job.

We used HomeAdvisor for locating a cleaning service and have been very pleased. So are using to locate a yard service and local handyman.

When I decided to remodel instead of sell, I wasn't sure where to begin. Since I was the GC when we built this house, I knew I would want at least 3 estimates on each phase of the work. I was not about to pay ANY website for contractor recommendations, so I started with HomeAdvisor. Each time I used Home Advisor, I got several contractors; some called immediately, some not at all. Of course the ones who called me got first crack at the estimate. I have not been disappointed by any of the contractors I hired, and in this day of poor customer service, each have been awesome to work with.

Needed service to repair low pressure water. Used this site by basically typing in what I was looking for. Received call backs in 10-15 minutes after hitting enter on my PC. More importantly, I managed this repair sitting in Texas repairing a problem in Mass. Found this site extremely helpful.

Representative was courteous and offered to have additional companies contact me to quote the job if needed. He asked for my business and made it clear that he was willing to work to get it.

Found three potential companies to get quotes from to repair my chimney and all three contacted me through my inquiry through HomeAdvisor. Definitely will use again in the future.

Very pleased with this service. The people they recommend were great.

ON TIME. Did a great job, did exactly what I asked and accomplished all work in a timely manner. Would recommend for a project. Price was well within line for the work performed. Good Job.

Had a garage door opener replaced and installed.

Kalos was suggested. Great choice. No fee quality suppliers.

They connected me with a repair service within 5 minutes of my call. The repairmen were at my home approx 2 1/2 hrs later. Repair was completed in less than one hour. I asked about the cost before I gave the ok to do the repair. After seeing what a short time was needed to make the repair I felt the labor charges were a bit high but I am happy to have my washer working again.

It was easy to describe the problem and get a list of qualified three repairmen in the area. The only problem that I had was that HomeAdvisor somehow scrambled our phone number which meant that none of the repairmen could call us. We finally called them and got an immediate appointment.

I really liked the fact that HomeAdvisor connected me to a plumber right away - as soon as I entered my requirement. I hired that person and had an excellent experience with the job they did. I want to Thank HomeAdvisor for making our Water Softener replacement project a breeze.

HomeAdvisor gave me a good list of local roofers with enough data/contact info that allowed me to easily select my roofer of choice.

HomeAdvisor provided me with a good list of options. I had a very positive experience with the company I chose. I would definitely use this site again.

They did a very good job, and now I have a wonderful bathroom, just like a new house now.

Received a list of vendors in the immediate area along with contact information and customer reviews. HA responded when contacted, asked for vendor review on job completion and has not bombarded me with emails. Excellent service.

Was a little unsure about whether to try HomeAdvisor or not and I am glad I did. Would not hesitate using HomeAdvisor for other services in the future.

HomeAdvisor has been very helpful in locating services we needed to buy our vacation home. I would definitely recommend their services.

Trustworthy contractor. Painted kitchen cabinets.

First time using HomeAdvisor. Easy to use. Very pleased with results.

Home improvements. Fast and efficient.

Good, professional and dependable people.

I was able to find and schedule maid service for the same week. They did a great job and charged a fair price.

Easy to use. Several choices of companies in the category I needed. Like having real reviews to consider. Will use this service again.

I sent message. A plumber answered right away.

Clogged line, toilets overflow - repaired. Faucet leak - repaired.

I contacted HomeAdvisor after seeing an ad about them. They were prompt and I had someone to do my job within a few minutes.

HomeAdvisor may be good for consumer since they get a free service, but for contractors who pay for those customer's leads, it is absolutely disgraceful!!! They charge you per lead in order for you to get a phone number and email address for the customer, which is fine. But when the customer changes their mind or purposely puts in the incorrect contact information because they get gun shy about giving out their contact info, HomeAdvisor does not stand behind their professionals and instead just takes their money any way. Even after putting in a credit request because a phone number and email address is incorrect, they make one attempt to contact the consumer. If they don't get ahold of them, they deny the request. You can never resubmit the request for credit and you end up paying $70 for a lead that didn't go to anyone. Customer service agents can't even relay calls and have hung up on us several times. The only way to get someone partially competent is to speak with a supervisor and even then it is hit or miss. Contractors, spend your money elsewhere!!!

The work was done fine - but it unbalanced the symmetry of the home. I don't have to specify the work detail to a contractor. If the item being repaired requires to look the same as before, then the contract should his or her utmost to comply. Anything can repaired, but does it look the same or better prior to the damaged - that's my point. The outside look of house is where the value of the house come from for me. Thank you.

This site gave multiple people and the first one who called us for a quote did a fantastic job. This had some great recommendations.

We have used HomeAdvisor several times now. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED with any contractor they have recommend or that we hired from their site. I have several friends that have and pay for Angie's List. They offer to locate the professional I am looking for on that site. I refuse the help because we have been so thrilled with the quality of service we get from all of the HomeAdvisor contractors we have used! Why pay for a service that is equal to Angie's List without the cost associated with it!

We are very satisfied with HomeAdvisor and the company that did the work.

Clean out 2 septic tanks. Prompt, professional service. Excellent communications. Reasonably priced. I'll hire them again.

I'd say the service and recommendations are at least as good as Angie's List and FREE!... so that beats Angie's List. :)

This was the fastest service I have ever experienced. I would recommend HomeAdvisor as well Garage Doors Unlimited to everyone!

HomeAdvisor helped me to clear two important property conditions to have my loan approved for my borrower. Recommending Lemay Consulting turned out to be an excellent recommendation.

Your site reported the top rated roof repair businesses and the business I chose from the list did an outstanding job. I would use your site again in the future. Thanks.

We are very pleased that we found such a reputable company on the HomeAdvisor. That fact that this is a free service is even better! Holloway Lawn and Garden did a fantastic job and we were very pleased with Mr. Holloway's service and attitude. He is very anxious to please you and answers all questions and concerns before, during and after the installation.

I use HomeAdvisor for my home improvement needs and I am always satisfied with who they recommend.

Found excellent chimney cleaner! Very happy to find an exceptional professional to clean our wood stove stovepipe & make badly needed repairs to the brick lining.

Drilled hole through garage wall for new outside faucet and installed copper piping for new faucet.

Easy to use website. I selected 3 contractors for estimates. With minutes of my request I received the first call. All contractors contacted me within 24 hours. All were polite and seemed very familiar with the type of work involved. I will definitely use HomeAdvisor.com for my next project!

The contractor recommended by HomeAdvisor replied almost immediately. We made appointment, work was done quickly and correctly. The price was quite fair, the person quite polite and professional.

We needed our foundation repaired and sealed. Also the crawl space floor needed to be re-cemented in certain areas. We needed the work done pretty quickly because the house was in the process of being sold. Frank, the owner of Rain King, worked around our schedule and took care of all of our issues in a timely and efficient fashion.

Never heard of HomeAdvisor. I'm a retired commercial journeyman plumber and way overqualified to change my water heater even at age 61. Used HomeAdvisor to find contractor. The first recommendation who called and showed up saved me lots of money and have my job landed. I've tried it again with roofing. We'll see tomorrow if HomeAdvisor hits 2 for 2. I do endorse this site.

HomeAdvisor is one of the worst companies you can buy leads from! We have been using Angie's List and Thumbtack for years, and HomeAdvisor (AKA ServiceMagic) is not with the time to even consider! We have tried them when they still were "ServiceMagic". On average out of 10 leads we would actually speak with 3 and close 1-2 if we are lucky. They kept calling us for years to sign us up for HomeAdvisor, and we finally gave it a try 3 months ago. Lots of promises. Now, after we spent over $1000 in setup fees ($350) and leads too many "Dead" leads, and too many very expensive leads, that not worth what they say it worth. For example we just got charged today $112 for Siding lead, that was a $150 repair.

Every suggested professional I received from HomeAdvisor has been a real professional. I have not had any issue with any of them and the quality of their jobs has been impressive.

I was happy with the recommended Heating & Cooling Service Repair companies that was provided. There were many positive reviews from customers.

This organization provided an invaluable service for shoppers. I recommend using them for your searches.

HomeAdvisor provided a list of contractors to choose from. The reviews were a great help. Will use for future needs.

To all the people trying to make a living. HomeAdvisor pro is a hoax. They make it seem so good. I scrimped and saved to start a handyman business, with very little money and high hopes they said they will hook me up with a bunch of LEADS, to generate income. Little did I know, the income was for them, they were bogus and they charge you for them too, no matter what, even after I cancelled my subscription before the 72 hour was up. 2 leads, 3 days, both bogus... That's how they make even more money... don't do it... Keep your business alive stay away from homeadvisor... They are eye pokers!!!

HomeAdvisor suggested a few roof repair companies. Pickings were slim as roof leak in rainy season not a planned project. HomeAdvisor checked up on how the project was going, and even suggested another contractor, if my first choice was unable to fit my project into their schedule.

I found three excellent contractors for my tree service need. I was able to interview each contractor and get complete estimates from each one so I could make an educated choice about who to hire. I was very satisfied with the service I received and would use HomeAdvisor again on my next home project.

I am truly impressed with the service I received from HomeAdvisor - i.e. Follow up making sure I got response and then checking in making sure I received the service I requested. Thank you again. GREAT service.

Excellent reference. Will use HomeAdvisor for any future needs.

Got two referrals, one never responded. The other responded and did the job at the price and time we wanted it done.
