HomeAdvisor (Powered by Angi) Reviews

I needed repairs to both my garage doors. The repair service was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly, quick, and reasonably priced.

Third time I've come to you! I am thrilled to have this resource at my fingers. Amazing every time. THANK YOU!!!

The service was good.

Got two contacts for the job the same day. Very cordial.

I was with HomeAdvisor for about 5 years, but I haven't been a member for a year and a half now. I left it because the incoming jobs didn't match the outgoing fees.

I was able to get names of 3 plumbers and called all to get an estimate and availability. I choose the one who had the best quote and was able to come the next day.

Prompt service (recommendations). High mark!

We recently had a furnace and air conditioning unit installed by Anderson. We got a good price and great work done by their very professional installers. I would recommend them to anyone having this type of service done.

Added refrigerant to the A/C System and performed minor repair to leaking valve.

Was pleased with the choices that were accurately described here on this site. Will use again for future needs.

HA offered choices, vetted contractors, provided reviews from consumers. Liked that contractors cannot pay for recommendations, or eliminate any negative reviews. Reviews were current, not from 2 years prior to my search.

Knowing there are a lot of bad contractors out there and we didn't want to get stuck with doing all the leg work to find a reputable company for our projects. HomeAdvisor helped us narrow it down to the company we chose to hire. They do the background checks on these companies for you.

I needed someone to fix several minor electrical issues in my home. It took just a couple minutes to put in my information and within a half-hour I had an electrician on his way to my home.

Searches very easy.

Handyman prokect worked out as we had hoped it would.

Very professional, very knowledgeable and polite. They installed our 60" Samsung TV and Sonos PLAYBAR, and the results are amazing.

Knowledgeable, quick response, reasonably priced, very polite.

I really appreciate this organization. They did all the legwork for me by checking the credentials and history of the vendor I chose. This is a real comfort and saved me the extra work trying to find out the same information. Of course, I double-checked anyway, but that's just me. I will definitely use them in the future for other projects.

Dena Electrical listed on the HomeAdvisor site along with hundreds of reviews for the company was right on and very useful. I would use the site again considering the quality of the work I had done relying on the site listings and reviews.

Thank you for the recommendation. I got a terrific crew to come out and take down some trees for a great price.

I'm an electrical contractor through HomeAdvisor and we mainly do electrical panels and services. I call them occasionally when I get a lead that isn't what it purports to be and I'll dispute it. Their reps are good about that, but they aren't very good about giving credits where credits are fair to be given out and that's money out of my pocket. Sometimes they don't give us credit when we don't take it further than just typing it in. Overall, they are good but could be better. Nevertheless, HomeAdvisor has definitely had a positive effect to my business.

Excellent experience, I will use HomeAdvisor again and recommend my friends to use it as well.

We had a situation where we needed a service same day. We hadn't used anyone for this service before so we didn't know who to call. We found someone through HomeAdvisor and they did a great job. Would definitely use HomeAdvisor again!

I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH HOW TO use this service when I hit a glitch with the contractor, so I phoned the help desk. The woman was super helpful and professional. The response from the contractors for my project were fast on phoning back when I selected my project and options. I will definitely use HomeAdvisor again and have recommended to others since my experience. Thanks for being here!

Very thorough technician who found a problem I was not aware of and repaired it at no additional charge.

HomeAdvisor is a terrific site that has viable information pertaining to the companies the site presents. I am content so far with the companies I have found. Further, I plan to use HomeAdvisor for all and any additional projects. Superb.

HomeAdvisor had great reviews for the painter I used and when the job was complete they were spot on. Glad that I went with HomeAdvisor.

Made and installed window screens to protect our artificial turf from burning.

HomeAdvisor was easy and the response from the team was super fast. Great experience overall.

Repaired many bricks on the chimney and brick wall, as well as mortar cracks. High quality work, and very good clean up.

Prompt response on a major holiday from 3 providers. All three were very professional sounding on the phone. I was extremely happy with the service provided that I chose.

Very pleased with service.

I have used HomeAdvisor twice with excellent completed results. Not only was the work done completely the workers were on time and interested in their jobs at hand. The customer-contractor relationship was highly communicative. I will not hesitate to call someone on HomeAdvisor's list. Thanks.

Had an outlet that arced. Hired a pro that found the problem and fixed it. I now have electricity in my bedroom.

I would recommend Ace Painting and Restoration to others. The quality of results exceeded my expectations. The preparation work was exceptional. The crew worked hard and cleaned up after themselves.

This is the first time using HomeAdvisor. I had used a different online repair service in the past, that was also very good, but HomeAdvisor popped up in my search and gave it a shot. The online tool was easy to use and the confirmation of my request was received quickly. I was very happy with the whole experience and will continue to use HomeAdvisor for future projects. Thank you!

I've been a HomeAdvisor member for four years. My business does concrete driveway and the like except for foundations and footings. My first two years were good but the third year was not so good because there was so many shopping. And now this year, it's the other way around. I'm so busy I cant use it. When I need it, hopefully it's there. Right now, I have my calls on suspension.

Toilet seemed to be clogged and not flushing properly. Entered my problem and HA found a plumber quickly.

The intake valve on the dishwasher stuck open and flooded the kitchen and ran into the basement. I turned off the valve and then the mop-up began. Rang our plumber of 20 years and got no response. Went to HomeAdvisor the next day and found Apple Appliance Repair. They came out promptly, diagnosed the repair necessary and said it would take a day to get the part. They rang back in 2 hours, had the part, came out and installed it. Reasonable rates based on other plumbing work we have had done, quick service, and they cleaned up after themselves. The only "complaint" is that their English is not all it could be and communication required a bit of effort at times.

This company is fantastic. I am now doing all my home-type work through them.

I needed carpentry, electrical, garage door, and plumbing repairs. At present excellent garage door, very good plumbing and carpentry. Prompt response. No response from electricians. I will use HomeAdvisor again.

I appreciate this team. They helped me find a landscaper during the height of busy season when every landscaper's job schedule was full. They were concerned and didn't give up on assisting me when any easy referral was not to be found.

We have used two different vendors now and were completely happy with the results both times. They were prompt with responding to my request for both an estimate and service.

Where have you been all my life!!?? I recently discovered HomeAdvisor, and have been very happy with the results. Hiring professionals through HomeAdvisor has been much easier than trying to hire them on my own, as previously I would struggle to even get a company to call me back. With the professionals on HomeAdvisor, I received several callbacks within 2 hours on both projects I have had. When the work for my first project impressed me so much, I immediately checked into another project, and within three days, both projects were done. So easy and convenient!

We-Haul yard debris removal - We-Haul did an excellent job. They were friendly and pleasant. They cleaned up a years-old mess in my backyard.

Called Saturday morning and was referred to a serviceman who stated that he would show up between 12-2 pm. At 2 I called to see where he was. No response. He returned a call saying that he was in Plymouth Mountain and would be here within the hour. 1 1/2 hours later I call again, and he states he is nowhere in the vicinity. When I attempt to contact HomeAdvisor, of course they are now closed. Had to purchase a new washer because this repairman has too much money in his pocket.

I have had good experiences with HomeAdvisor. Recommended pros always respond quickly and are very professional. Have occasionally had difficulty finding someone for more unusual jobs (hanging shutters), but otherwise have been very happy with HomeAdvisor.

I have always been pleased with the work done by HomeAdvisor recommended businesses. HomeAdvisor does the work for you in terms of screening and rating its service providers. The online software is super easy to use, and you can read many reviews from other customers.

Very thorough and accurate troubleshooting. Found the problem, got the parts, fixed it. Also gave me advice on user maintenance.

Our business offers electrical services and we've been a member with HomeAdvisor for 10 years. Signing up with them was pretty easy and their representatives are all good. So far, our experience has been good.

Our business is generally a tree service, and we have been with HomeAdvisor for 5 years. Their team is all pretty good. I call them a lot for different things. Although I can update things online, I like to do it over the phone. They find my account and I've never had an issue. It's usually a good experience. The only negative thing is that they're a little stingy on giving credits back for certain calls. It generally falls within their user agreement, but sometimes there's a gray area where I think I should get credit but they don't think I should get one. Like when I call and the homeowner never picks up and I've called 5 times, they won't give me a replacement and that don't technically fall under their rules and regulations.

I was so happy with the results of my first inquiry that I have since looked into another project.

Excellent contractor and very good work. HomeAdvisor was very helpful.

Jason called me almost as soon as I clicked submit on the HomeAdvisor form. I explained the issue and he said he could have a tech out to me around 2 pm (the initial call took place at 11 am the same day). That was perfect for me. About 30 min later Jason called back advising that he had a tech that was just finishing up at another site and that he could have him come right to me from there. I was pleasantly surprised by this! The tech was here for no more than 10 min. When he figured out the issue and took just under a half hour to fix it. All in all was a great experience. Will definitely call Jason for any future HVAC or plumbing work that I need performed.

Very quick finding an excellent pool repair service.

Some of the contractors on the list did not do the type of work I requested while others made appointments and never showed up.

Our business does roofing. I was with HomeAdvisor for one year, but not anymore due to competition. It was too many people calling on too few calls. If I get a call and I didn't call back for the first 30 seconds, the homeowner would say, "I already got eight people coming out and forget about it". It was too chaotic trying to call people in the first 30 seconds.

Sump Pump Line repair/install. The problem was fixed within 48 hours of contacting HomeAdvisor.

Our business offers roofing installation and solar services. We were a member of HomeAdvisor a long time ago. The HomeAdvisor team has been fine but the problem I had with them was a few years ago when they were ServiceMagic. They were using our website and created our kind of landing page. If somebody googled our company name, their landing page would come up and it was supposedly a direct match lead. Of course they were looking for us but if they inadvertently clicked on that link, it would go to their phone and they would answer it as us and then sell me the leads. That's why we canceled them. Their leads are hit or miss and I don't really need HomeAdvisor

We used the site to select a highly rated plumber and even booked an appointment through HomeAdvisor. We got an email with our booked time telling us everything was set. This was a minor plumbing emergency, so that gave us some measure of relief. Unfortunately, we got a call in the morning from the company telling us that they were unable to come out for at least five days. So then we had to scramble to try and find a plumber to come out the same day... work we could have done the night before. I don't know if it was HomeAdvisor or the plumbing company (EC Plumbing?), but either way, this made for a poor experience and makes me distrust any appointment made through this site.

I have found HomeAdvisor to be extremely user-friendly and accurate in their evaluation of people they recommend. Have never been disappointed.

This is the 2nd time I've used HomeAdvisor, both with great outcomes. An easy process that connects to the right tradespeople. The rating process helps make your choice very quickly if you need it. A great free service that I recommend to anyone that needs this type of service. WELL DONE!

My only problem with your service is that after my project was done, I completed a review online and it seemed to be accepted. Until a week or so later I started getting more requests to complete a review of the work that I had done. You shouldn't let a review be accepted unless everything is complete and if it is, you should not be sending further requests.

We do painting services, and I have such frustration with HomeAdvisor and such mixed feelings. Sometimes I get some decent leads, but then other times I feel like they have people who just sit there and generate leads because I can't contact the person. They don't respond, or when you do contact them, they say, "Oh, I didn't want an estimate". Sometimes, it's all right and then other times I feel half the leads are bogus. For the most part, however, their reps are good.

HomeAdvisor (formerly, Service Magic) doesn't qualify any leads. Home Advisor's standpoint is that they provide you with info that has been gathered from a survey sheet, and that the service provider, Me, can market to those leads anyway that we choose. I was told on numerous occasions from HomeAdvisor that they are aware but that they would lose revenue providing info any other way. That's just a way of justifying crappy service practices. Soon I will have been with HomeAdvisor 6 months and I have a good reputation with my clients. However, it is really hard to work if you are spending your time qualifying leads that I get charged for regardless of whether I can help the customer or HomeAdvisor has done their job of qualifying them. So, if the client isn't a good fit or if they are not in my area of work, then I must call HomeAdvisor and let them know asap to be able to get another lead.

HomeAdvisor is a quick source to finding and getting the contractors you need for the job you want done.

CS was very helpful. I was given several company names, which was very nice.

The person I spoke with was very nice, informative and helpful. At the very start though I was not aware that this was not the gutter company I had intended to call.

The companies provided by HomeAdvisor have provided prompt callbacks as well as low to fair pricing. I love the fact that it's free unlike others.

I used Anny Cleaners, Royal Cleaners and College Hunks Haul Junk. All were quite good. RVA Inside Out did an outstanding job sorting clothing and packing clothing to go to the GoodWill.

We're a maid service and we do residential cleaning. We've been a HomeAdvisor member since 2005. They are so aggressive in advertising. I've been a customer for a long time and I've been very happy with it. The relationship I have with them is a vendor-advertiser type. I don't talk to anybody there but I would definitely recommend them.

I had a stopped up kitchen faucet and was searching for a plumber to remedy the problem. I'm down in Florida for a vacation at my condo, and also to do various fixes about the condo unit for when I have people renting during the winter.

The site is easy to use. The professionals seem well qualified. I like the tool to determine what cost I can expect, what people are paying in my area. The response from the vendors has been super fast. Follow up from HomeAdvisor is excellent. Apparently the cost for a vendor to be listed on HomeAdvisor is a bit high. Both vendors mentioned having to pay to be on the site. As a consumer, it makes me uncomfortable. Either I'm getting a better deal than I normally would because they had to pay to find my business. (How good will the service be compared to customers who aren't from HomeAdvisor?) Or I'm paying more to compensate them for their investment in HomeAdvisor. Either way, it makes me think about using another resource to locate professionals next time.

HomeAdvisor is a good resource for basic home repairs and helps avoid getting price gouged. I have only tried them once but will definitely use them again.

I'm very pleased with the whole experience. Anthony "Tony" ** is the kind of guy you want on your list. Clean, bright, a family man and hardworking and honest. Treat him right. He is a credit to your service.

I was helped to find a Tree stump grinder. I was given 3 different.

Paint-Stain Double deck and stairs - The project was a three-day job. First day was cleaning, prep and power washing. A day to dry and 3rd day painting started right on time. Within 3-4 hours entire job was finished & cleaned up. The men were wasted no time and second coat went fast. Overall excellent job.

We used HomeAdvisor to hire a carpenter and electrician for work on a new business studio. In both cases we found the contractors to be well qualified, professional, and reasonably priced. We did encounter a difficulty with follow up by the referenced insulation company. HomeAdvisor did pass on our request for a follow up contact, but we ended up having to track them down and call them to remind them of our interest. We would use HomeAdvisor again in the future.

Electrical problem - They found a broken wire somewhere in the wall and ran a new wire under the house to re-route the power to the affected areas.

HomeAdvisor provided me with several qualified contractors of which I negotiated with two and hired one of them. The work was completed as negotiated at the price and time agreed to.

HomeAdvisor needs to ensure that the contractors they recommend are licensed and bonded.

I'm a self-employed finish carpenter and I've been a member of HomeAdvisor since 10 to 15 years ago. The sign-up process to become a member with them was simple. I was already a member of another association and they gave free memberships to those people to get the service. I'm a one-man show so HomeAdvisor is looking to provide a lot more opportunity for my business. I require very little of their assistance. I get one lead a month from them and I get most of the leads they give me and for the small guy, it works fine.

I am 5 star happy with HomeAdvisor (excellent website!) & our choice of Good Morrow Land Services for our project!!

I submitted my needs for small-scale pool repairs through HomeAdvisor and got two immediate responses. However, of the two, one failed to show up on the date agreed. The other, Millennium Pool Service was very responsive to getting an estimate and setting a date for the work to be done. They were very detailed in how they would approach the job and completed the work to my satisfaction.

I have used this site to hire companies for several things. So far I have not been disappointed but very please with each company and would recommend each one.

Gutter cleaning and repair - Job done just as I needed.

Service Advisor has always been reliable.

I am now on to my third contact from your list. The first two never responded to my request. I used the email contact system and got no response and no call. Hopefully the third will be the charm. Also the last project I needed was A/C repair and the first contact would not work on my system. So at this point this has been more work than had I just done it myself.

HomeAdvisor is the lead network and it does the job. They are a little overreaching but it serves the purpose. They're all right, and I am happy with them.

I have only used the site twice, but so far the prices and work have been way above average and fair.

Prompt replies. The roof repairer and this site were excellent. I would highly recommend this site and the repairer we chose.

Electrical Repair. Happy on all counts. A job well done.

Sprinkler Repair - Excellent experience. I will use their service again.

HomeAdvisor has always pointed me to the highest quality professionals and I've never been disappointed.

I submitted 3 requests for bids and only got one call. However, Calderon Lawn Services called me promptly and got the work done when I needed it for a reasonable price. Thank you for connecting me with them!

I have used HomeAdvisor several times for home repairs/improvements. Both times, I received outstanding service from the contractors. The reviews were very helpful.

I love HomeAdvisor. This is the second time I have used their services and although there are some quirks given the companies they list aren't exactly the large ones. Overall they do an excellent job in selecting companies and I have received excellent service from them. I always recommend HomeAdvisor to anyone I know who needs some work done.

Made and received emails confirming appoints, before and day of. They did not request a confirmation, but confirmed the appointment. I called Certified Plumbing, Inc. plumber 8 am to confirm 9 am appointment anyway, he was clueless about the appointment. Further he did not seem to be local. Cancelled the appointment. There is no order number on the emails received. Do not trust automatic software-based appointments. They do not verify appointments with vendor before making them and vendor may not be reading his emails or updating his calendar, whatever the issues might be. There appears to be no relationship between making the appointment and the vendor accepting it. Called to complain about this and I was disconnected.

No one returned my calls. Still trying to find someone to cut my grass.

As a home service professional, we've been with HomeAdvisor for well over 10 years. Overall, we did it originally because we got in at the ground level, so we were among the first ones in for the window tinting category. For us, the big thing was they didn't give their service to everybody. It was limited to how many installing or service companies got it. You had to be licensed and you had to have all the requirements for the state. HomeAdvisor does very well for us -- we get anywhere from 5 to 10 leads a week. For the most part, we have great reviews on HomeAdvisor and we can't complain.

I am a home inspector and I was led to believe that I would get many jobs from their lead referral system. I have had 33 leads in the last 3 months and have only landed 2 jobs. It's not the lead counts it is the lack of anyone returning a phone call or an email when contacted for an estimate. The service is not what I expected and I would never recommend them to anyone. I complained and was told it would take 48 hours to get a customer service rep to call me.

Needed pest control service right away. Found the right company and was contacted right away. I liked how quickly I found the right company. Thank you!

Repair sidewalk (about 900 sq. feet.) Level sidewalk and correct for tree roots. Replace twelve damaged squares. Obtain permit from city and coordinate with city inspectors.

Tree and Shrub removal - Had some scheduling issues, but overall, quality work at a reasonable price.

Placed a request on Homeadvisor.com for a bathroom renovation. Got an immediate call from a contractor to set up an appointment. During the estimation visit, contractor seemed a bit "off". Then gave us a quote which included a 50% deposit before work was to begin. RED FLAG! After about 5 minutes of research, found this "contractor" had 14 arrests (and some imprisonment) for impersonating a contractor and stealing people's deposits!!! This is a home contractor screening company??? Go with recommendations from friends who have had work done at their homes.

Within one hour after searching tree service with HomeAdvisor, someone called me.

We've been with HomeAdvisor for 11 years and we like it a lot. The leads tend to be good but when they are bogus, they are very good at crediting. We have a great arrangement with them, though I don't think they offer it anymore. When they send us emails that somebody in the area is looking to do what we do, we have a choice to purchase the lead or pass. I like it a lot because it means we can pass on the ones that write on the description, "And you better be the cheapest in town because I ain't got no interest in you otherwise." I like that old-school way of arrangement.

On this project, HomeAdvisor had the right contractor to do the job that I needed to get done correctly.

The repairmen arrived only a few hours after I contacted the company and on time. They quickly diagnosed the problem and repaired my central A/C unit. They were professional and efficient.

I do not remember the operator's name that helped me but she was friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable about the services you offer. Since this was the first time using this service, she walked me through the whole process answering any questions I had. When I was satisfied that all of my questions were answered, she sent out four recommendations/companies that I could use.

The company did a great job, but right in the middle of the floor, there was a board that appeared to not belong. Also, there were a couple of others, but they were against the wall. I mean this one board, stood out like a "sore thumb." Anyone putting the flooring down, were they paying any attention would have recognized this, and we had plenty of leftover hardwood that would have matched the rest of the flooring.

Finding qualified tree removal I was able to find the someone with the most experience and the best price in the area for the job.

After submitting the RFQ, I was contacted immediately by several contractors. I was contacted not only by the three I chose, but by others as well. I did not appreciate this. One contractor quoted me a job over the phone, sight unseen, which I found very unprofessional. I did however find a contractor who provided a fair price and quality work, so the end result with HA was positive.

We had immediate response from companies all of a polite manner. We were very pleased with the contractor we chose to do the work. It was a relief to already have them screened as we have had some terrible experiences with hiring people. We would recommend your service.

HomeAdvisor is a good service, but I wish they would detail the leads a little bit more. Some people call me to patch a tiny hole and I don’t want to patch anybody’s hole, since I run a masonry and tree works business. These are stupid things that I get charged for. I try to get credit and sometimes they do it, sometimes they don’t. It’s frustrating and it makes me not want to deal with them because I’m busy and I have other things on my mind. I also think the leads are too expensive. Why should I spend the money when I can do other stuff for free? I’d recommend them but I’d also tell them what I think. I’m dissatisfied with a lot of things that they do and the way they organize the leads. It seems that they just want to get the call and forward of the leads to as many people as they can. I know they’re consumer friendly, but what about the professionals?

We had our roof washed chemically and the pool area pressure washed. There were heavy build-up of mildew on the roof and the company did a great job of making the roof and pool area look great!

HomeAdvisor did get me to a good reliable contractor, but I only got one solid hit for this project. Could be due to specific project needs or area where I live. The bonus was the contractor is excellent and multi skilled so we will be able to use them for other projects.

I had 2 services call to bid on the job and had several other businesses available to call for this job. After receiving bids on the phone and reading reviews, I selected a highly recommended business (Helix Carpets) for the job and was very satisfied with the work done. The process was time friendly and the repair was cost effective.

Site is easy to use, no issues noted.

Great contractors. Great experiences.

I liked using HomeAdvisor because it took the guessing out of getting a good electrician because the referrals are screened. I needed to have my electrical box rewired and replaced. I chose from one of three electricians and I was very pleased with his work.

We use HomeAdvisor but it's very few and far between. I try to keep HomeAdvisor turned off because in the long run it costs me too much money. With them, I pay per lead, share them with a minimum of 3 other people, and we usually only get about 30% to 40% of the leads. About half of those are only people looking for an estimate, and not actually getting any work done. It's a good service if you're starting out, trying to build your business, and you have to spend some money to get started, but I now have 120 customers that we do either once a month, every two weeks or once a week, and including about 40%-45% of that is commercial work, so we stay busy.

HomeAdvisor provided a fast and simple way to access the Businesses I needed to complete my project.

We needed a one-time house cleaning and found Thomcat cleaning through this site. We had a very positive experience with HomeAdvisor and will use them again.

On a hot day my central air decided not to cool! I made a call to this company and was treated with respect and prompt service! Having medical issues I appreciated that they took it seriously, and even with a busy day they made room to come and fix my air conditioner! Great service. Will use them for everything I need!

HomeAdvisor has done pretty good for me. I would recommend them to a friend.

This was the first time that I used them as a new home buyer. Before I could complete the application form for the HVAC service I needed a local company called and we arranged an immediate visit. I will need additional services at this house and will use HomeAdvisor to assist me in finding qualified companies.

Things are going perfect with HomeAdvisor. We've been with them for 10 or 12 years and it's been a great deal. My interactions with the representatives have been hands-down perfect. HomeAdvisor is the best out there.

Home Advisor came up with several recommended contractors for my project. I checked out the top 2 choices in my opinion based on their reviews and also checked other external information about their business (BBB, consumer complaints, etc.). I'm very satisfied with the contractor. I did select from the Home Advisor suggestions.

I did a internet search for move out cleaning. HomeAdvisor set me up immediately with an appt. and a service. It was incredibly efficient. All of the other contacts I made did not even reply.

The wonderful people at HomeAdvisor keep me busy and do a good job. They keep me well-informed with people that need service, and I recommend them.

My first experience with any site such as this. However your site provided me with several people who tended to the job issues that I needed. I was immediately contact which I appreciated. Everyone I spoke with was professional and quickly responded to scheduling an estimated assessment. I appreciated that HomeAdvisor kept in contact with me in ensuring through follow up emails that things were moving forward. Thank you - will use again.

It was great to get information about a company and I felt I was getting a company I could trust.

I love Home Advisor. They're really useful for me. We're a painting contractor and we do everything from interior, exterior painting to cabinet refinishing, staining of all types of wood surfaces, concrete coating, staining, ceiling. Everybody at HomeAdvisor is nice. Basically, the way the system is set up, they send me the leads based on my criteria, and if it's not the right lead, I can submit a request for credit against the lead, and most of the time if it has been submitted incorrectly, they'll give me a credit on it. Because of their position in the market and of people's comfort in going online for resources, I get about 75% of my business through them.

Home Advisor sells unusable "leads" at a premium price. They distribute the same lead to all competitors in the area, making the lead essentially valueless. The contact number they provide is not usable - it is a blind number to which the customer does not respond. Most "leads" have already been serviced by another vendor BEFORE given to others - a presumably fraudulent practice for which they offer no apology. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

We need more of the exact match customers instead of paying for somebody who's not getting the service for the leads from Home Advisor. A lot of the people are just shopping around and not looking for the service. Other than that, it's been good so far.

I was pleased to have contractors contacting me immediately after submitting my project through HomeAdvisor. It was surprising how quickly they responded. Ultimately hired one contractor through this process and was pleased with the work and the price.

I had a very difficult time finding a recommended plasterer for 2 ceilings that was licensed. Plasterers didn't want to handle a job for just 2 ceilings and painters usually aren't insured and not all do plastering. I wound up hiring the only person interested in doing the job although he had no license and did not want to come out for a free estimate. He wanted to do the estimate via phone. He owns and runs the company but has no part in the work and you only contact him by phone or e-mail. He doesn't take responsibility for overseeing the project due to disability. I felt like I hired him blind and hoped for the best. Thank goodness it did come out well although I can't say I would want to do it that way again.

The website was relatively easy to use although I did not find an appropriate project category to search so I had to do a "general" search to find what I needed. Maybe a "Seasonal Services" category might be helpful. There were only two companies listed as providing the service we were looking for (snow removal) and one of them listed said they did not provide that service. Fortunately, the other company did provide the service and were prompt and reasonable with their estimate. We expect to hire them in the winter months and are looking forward to working with them.

I am thrilled with HomeAdvisor. I have more projects in my home and I will definitely check with HomeAdvisor for the help I need.

Looking for a Company to remove 2 trees in my backyard. However, you did not list Southern Tree. I found them on my own. They should be at the TOP of your list.

The initial contact with referred contractor was not good. Appeared the contractor did not want to do job due to the size and nature of the project. Also there was a little bit of a communication issue. Once I called HomeAdvisor the initial contractor called back and we were able to work out our issues. I am happy with the completed work but initial contact had me wondering if contacting HomeAdvisor was a good idea.

We do cleaning, commercial and residential cleaning services. We've had HomeAdvisor for a year and I feel that it's a rip off because if anyone is searching for service, looking for an estimate or hires someone, HomeAdvisor charges to four or five different companies. I'm paying a lot of money for nothing. They send me same leads. I needed exclusive leads. I tried to discuss that before and they would not listen. We are a legitimate company. We don't compete with lowest price, which a lot of people look for. We compete with the highest quality.

I love using HomeAdvisor. Whenever I have a problem and no one to address it I use HomeAdvisor.

Job well done. Electrician- Damien **. Professional work.

Got calls from some companies I did not wish to use.

I have been able to find 2 contractors to perform work at my home. I selected these contractors based on reviews of people that had used them and then after interviewing them myself. I think HomeAdvisor is a good site to use.

Very open to discussion, helpful to someone who knows nothing about grass. Very accommodating working with my schedule. Showed up promptly and was very friendly. Would recommend them to others in my neighborhood or others.

HomeAdvisor is a great resource for any home need, for they save you a lot of research time. They are very efficient, and, even if you call them, they connect you right away with professionals according to your needs. Use them, and you won't be sorry!

HomeAdvisor was ServiceMagic when I started with them and they were absolutely wonderful. It was a great and very positive experience, but it has gotten worse and worse. 2/3 of the calls I get are not for people looking for work and they're just looking for prices, so most of the money I spent is wasted on them. There might be something in the website, although I've never looked. I don't know how they advertise but HomeAdvisor seem to generate bad calls and don't really care. Nevertheless, I still try by using it as little as I can but I do get some good calls every now and then. Overall, I would never recommend it to anyone else.
