The experience was very good. My only complaint is that when I went online to check for plumbers to replace my failed water heater I checked... "Do not want HomeAdvisor to select or ask for quotes for me"... I was just looking at the possible suggested plumbers, checking prices online for water heaters and doing what I always do - getting information first.
While the website is easy to use and that was a very good experience, easier than Angie's List, I specifically didn't want Home Advisor making decisions or even contacting contractors for me. HOWEVER, while in the middle of making my own decision on whom to call the three companies listed as top rated by HomeAdvisor started calling me. In the future if I can't go to Home Advisor on projects and spend as much time as I need to narrow the field of potential contractors without Home Advisor stepping in, I will stop using Home Advisor.
In a short time I have a project that requires someone with specific skills in my area. I am going to try one more time to use Home Advisor as advertised for Free, to narrow the list. And since I realize that the way Home Advisor gets compensated is by referral to contractors, I will ask the Home Advisor organization to refer my need... Once I have decided on the sort list. If Home Advisor can't or won't operate this way then the next time will be my last time on the H.A. site.

I won't use Home Advisor again. This is how it works. You log in and specify the project that you need help with, and names of contractors/business pop up. At that point that I figure I get to choose and looked at reviews to decide which contractor I wanted to call. Well, that's not quite how it works. One contractor was someone I'd used in the past and didn't want to use again so I picked another and sent an email request for an appointment. The phone rang five minutes later, and it was the guy I didn't want to use. I asked why he was calling me. And he said he got my name through HomeAdvisor. It seems that contractors get your name/contact information whether you want to use them or not, and they pay HomeAdvisor $15 for each contact.
A little later, the other contractor that I wanted to use called, and I made an appointment. His reviews were good, but most people said that it "seemed" that he did a good job, though they qualified that by saying it was difficult to know. I also found a Groupon for his service and paid for it up front. After inspecting my two flues, he told me that he was reluctant to sweep them because they weren't anchored. He said one flue absolutely needed to be replaced and he would not sweep it because he was afraid it would collapse when he ran a brush down it. He recommended relining, anchoring and blowing in insulation, and gave me a rough estimate of about $1600 for each flue.
He agreed to brush the other flue and told his assistant to gently run the brush down it. He stuck a shop vac into the opening, but I didn't hear any brushing sound or see soot, so I don't know if he swept it at all. He also didn't run the brush down to the cleanout nor did he vacuum the cleanout. I got a written quote a couple of hours later for $3150 for ONE liner which included $400 for blow in insulation and $200 for removal of one liner (which I could take to the metal recycler myself). That quote seemed very high for one flue and my internet search confirmed it. So I put out the word to friends and got a referral to a mason.
That mason said that the flue is indeed anchored - in about 3 feet of concrete. And though it had sagged some, that was not unusual for a flexible liner. He said that interior chimneys don't need to be insulated, but even if I wanted it to be, he didn't know how the other sweep would have gotten insulation past the concrete anchor. He also told me that a corroded tee could be independently replaced. The first contractor found the corroded tee but said that the liner and tee had to be replaced simultaneously.
Cost of the part was $90 plus $200 labor/inspection. Total was a tenth of what the other contractor would have taken, and there would have been NO way for me to know whether some, all or none of the work was done. Maybe it was a simple difference of opinions between two people who saw different things. Maybe it was a ripoff in the making. In the future when I need a contractor, I'll put the word out on social media or call friends for referrals. I might also join the pay service. No more Home Advisor for me.

What appeared to be a thermostat issue (because that is what I saw) ended up being compressor and electrical issues. Velocity came out within the hour and that was when the electrical issues were found. A second repairman (electrician) came out that same afternoon to assess what would be needed. He came back the next afternoon and did what needed to be done. I am very impressed with the company and especially with these two professionals.

Contractor thoroughly pressure washed and removed mold and stains off walls and cement and soft washed the asphalt shingle roof and the sealed metal roof over the sunroom as well as the asphalt roofing on two outbuildings. He did a quality job on everything. He worked part of a second day to get the job right for me and assured me if I found anything else needing attention that he would come out and make it right.

My experience with AllStar Electric was very good from start to finish - I would use them again!! I went directly to HomeAdvisor for this project - this is the second company I have used from HomeAdvisor and the reason is because they check company's backgrounds. Make sure they are licensed and bonded and hopefully listed with the BBB!!! HomeAdvisor beats Angie's List by a mile!!!

I found HomeAdvisor on the internet and used them to find a contractor who could help me with a home I just moved into. I went to their website and filled out the required information. I had three phone calls from contractors within less than one hour and set up times for them to come and give estimates for a moisture barrier in my garage and for them to check my foundation for moisture or cracks. I interviewed each one when they arrived and had them comment on what they thought needed to be done to correct my problems. After interviewing all three, I hired the one I felt was best qualified. The company did excellent work and had the highest standards. They cleaned up afterwards and I was very pleased with HomeAdvisor for their recommendations. I interviewed each one, had them comment on what needed to be done and then hired the one I thought would do the best job.
I also used HomeAdvisor after this experience because 6 months later, three days before Christmas, I was having problems with my electrical breaker panel. Once again I filled out the required forms and within minutes I had 4 replies. The electrician I hired told me not to touch the circuit box or breakers since they kept tripping every time I tired to reset them that morning. He said that he would come immediately which he did (within 5 minutes) at 7:30 am. He was on his way to another job but called and told them he would be late because of an emergency. Thank God he did come so fast. That electrician saved my home from burning down. My electrical wires in my garage where burning by the time he came. I didn't know it but he called me down and showed me. You could see where they were burning, see the damage and smell the smoke. Wow, I was very lucky to have a home at Christmas thanks to that electrician.
