HomeAdvisor (Powered by Angi) Reviews

I had issues with my hot water heater and then a few months later my AC. HomeAdvisor worked great for both. 2 for 2 so far. I'll definitely call them with my next home issue.

Everything was fine, just too many emails.

I've been with HomeAdvisor for about three years and in the past year or so whenever I get a lead I call and lately nobody wants to answer or call back. Another thing is the last customer put a bad review on there so it's basically uncalled for and I tried to call the customer and get him to take it off. I don't know if that's the reason why they're not calling back to other people. I don't use them anymore because of it.

I'm completely satisfied with HomeAdvisor. The procedures and setup are at times horror. Anytime I go into their system, it always blocks me or denies me. So I have to call and speak to a person, and then it's taken care of. The employees that I've ever spoken to have been more than willing to go out of their way to help me. Customer service from the people is excellent. In addition, HomeAdvisor actually checks every contractor and makes sure they hold proper licenses. They don't just take their word for it unlike other companies.

Easy way to find reliable people.

I have used HomeAdvisor three times now and had a great experience each time. The companies that respond are professional, focused on customer service, and provide competitive quotes. I would rather go with someone from HomeAdvisor that I know has been vetted rather than picking someone at random from a google search. I would highly recommend HomeAdvisor to anyone.

Deck cleaning and staining. Very pleased with services found on HomeAdvisor.

I was a little overwhelmed by the number of businesses that call me within minutes of my listing... which is not a bad thing. But I felt bad that I had to tell other responding businesses that I already selected someone else.

Easy to find what I was looking for. Found two quality companies to work with.

I have used HomeAdvisor over 15 times. HomeAdvisor gets paid by the contractors. When I write a bad review, the contractors object and the review does not get published. So, what good does it do for me to pick the five-star contractors, when their lesser ratings do not get published and added to their overall rating. The upside to this site is that the contractors will call you right away. Each of their leads cost them something like $50, so they call you right away.

We had 20+ stumps removed. Just Stumps did a very professional job in a timely manner.

Sprinkler system activate - Happy with experience.

The person who took my call for this project was very nice and professional. Hooked me right up with the business I wanted to be hooked up with and even got them on the phone for me.

I needed to get 3 estimates for a bathroom remodel and after calling nearly all the numbers in my local phone book and receiving only one call back and one estimate out of about 11 numbers, I looked online and stumbled upon HomeAdvisor. Not only did I finally get my estimates, but I used HomeAdvisor again when I had problems getting a plumber to come out and do some work. Two different plumbers assured me they would come out and do the work and neither of them showed up, resulting in me being charged $50 from the local water department for each month that the main cutoff wasn't installed. AAA Plumbing came out on the day I requested, did a great job and provided estimates for other work to be done in the future. Thanks, HomeAdvisor!

It's been six years that my heating, air-conditioning, and plumbing business has been a member of HomeAdvisor. They have given us a good bit of calls and my every interaction I've had with their team have been good.

Landscaping/Yard Work - Was pleasantly surprised by my HomeAdvisor experience. I was expecting a high pressure sales pitch with stealthy efforts to sign me up for a subscription service but there was none of that. The HA rep I dealt with was friendly and thorough. They forwarded my call to a local provider and emailed me 2 others within a few minutes of completing our call. Made comparison shopping a snap.

Boundary and Plat survey - After contacting all of the companies recommended by the Government, only to find they did not actually private home surveys, I turned to HomeAdvisor. ** called me, discussed the project, cost and timing and got the project done. Thank you.

My carpet had not been cleaned in two years, was stained and had large bumps or waves that needed to be stretched. Now the appearance of my carpet looks almost new. The service was prompt and the work was done efficiently and expertly. The cost was less than what another company had quoted to only stretch the carpet and not to clean it.

Beautiful antique mahogany 9 pc in new condition. Recent accidental spill left white splotches on table top. Needed someone to repair the damage. Thank you, HomeAdvisor for sending an expert!

Replace Wood Fence - This was my first time to use HomeAdvisor. Overall it was a very good experience. I will use it again.

My search addressed the need for a local dryer vent cleaning company. I got 4 listed and when I addressed the map locator, I was able to request a service call easily by email on the same site. HomeAdvisor had all the POC information needed and even some background information on the business owner. They called back the next day. We scheduled service that same week and they were prompt and courteous. I do recommend them!

Had wonderful service.

I have used HomeAdvisor now for 5 projects and am quite impressed with the caliber of service providers on the site. I value the ratings and am quite confident now in what 4-5 stars means.

We use HomeAdvisor and they're very good. They give us good business.

Shrub Removal Service - Liked all the options for service to choose from.

Find and repair a water leak in a tile roof. Capital Roofing professionals did an outstanding job locating, repairing and testing the area in question. Highly recommend them!

Great recommendations. I've used HomeAdvisor for three or four projects thus far. Each have been good experiences with reliable and professional help. I will probably use HomeAdvisor for future projects.

For the most part my experience with HomeAdvisor has been positive. We have moments of ups and down with them but it will depend on the leads I'm giving and which come in through.

I am a consumer who would prefer to call contractors for the first contact. Having all three call me while working was difficult. Plus, we went with the first contractor who called and it was awkward to tell other two that they were too late. Make an option on the inquiry page for consumer to be able to get contractors' names and call them directly.

Work was done on time and at quoted price. Prompt arrival and quick repair.

Would definitely try another job through HomeAdvisor.

I was very surprised at the speedy response on my initial request and pleased that when I anticipated one visit to analyze the problem and another to make the repair, everything was completed on the first trip.

Alzamora was fantastic! I will definitely use them again.

Typed in info on a Sunday Night around 8 pm. Within 20 minutes I got a call from the plumbing company. I was very impressed... Would def use this service again.

Cleaned all the tracks and sanded the track to make smooth, and installed new rollers in patio door.

Although I have hired contractors thru HomeAdvisor I had too many times had contractors who were notified of my project needs fail to appear at scheduled meetings, or return phone calls. If HomeAdvisor touts itself as providing you with reliable trusted contractors, they fall far short of the measure. Use it only as a means of contacting SOME contractors, but read the reviews and use judgement when hiring your contractor. Don't rely on the HomeAdvisor name to guarantee you are getting a reliable and trustworthy contractor.

HomeAdvisor people are helpful every time I call them up. The signing up process took me a while, and it took me a month or two to get approved. However, once I got things figured out, it worked out well. HomeAdvisor is great. I tell everybody I know to use them.

Almost all new sprinkler heads and new valves to handle better pressure to cover the lawn more evenly.

Was able to get multiple quotes on the project and was able to set my own appointments on who I wanted to hire. Glad to see this was changed from the last time I used HomeAdvisor. Hated getting all those calls from contractors!

We've been members with HomeAdvisor for about three years. I'm in the business of plumbing and drain cleaning, and it's been good for business. We've gotten some fair points and good jobs off of it. There was one time where I got a lead from them but it was actually for an existing customer that was looking for another bid. But it was really easy to get that taken care of.

Great selections of contractors and I selected the best one for the job.

Just needed 5 lbs of freon. OMG. What a hassle. Got phone calls till 10pm from scammers wanting $100/lb for FREON. Total scam. Stay away or use the best referral service available. WORD OF MOUTH. No crap calls in the middle of the night.

Garage floor coating & finishing - I had a very good experience.

Garage Door Service - I was able to get quick and speedy same day service. The technician was able to diagnose the issue very accurately and the problem was resolved within 1 hour.

Very professional and courteous. Pricing fair and competitive.

I was very happy with the quickness of the response, very professional. The work was completed in one day. Very satisfied with the final product.

I had a leak going downstairs from the second-floor bathtub. They came and told me it need new grouting and they did a good job.

In our book, HomeAdvisor is better than Angie's List. Got the names of 3 vendors and all seemed capable, but the one we selected came across better.

Enrolling was easy and was pleased to see the rebate at closing!

HomeAdvisor is a great company. I have been with them for twelve years. When I signed up over the phone, it only took 30 minutes to do it. The team was good and I'd recommend them.

I appreciate that HomeAdvisor.com does an excellent job having locally owned businesses as their pros and not just big box stores. I like that you can rate companies and read the other reviews easily. I also appreciate that they vet the companies before allowing them to be on the site.

Tree/Shrub Trim and Masonry Contractor was great. I described what I needed. HomeAdvisor "put the word out" and all my matched contractors had called me by the end of the day. EXCELLENT!

I highly recommend any homeowner who has renovation project. You definitely need to work with HomeAdvisor.

Would use this company again.

HomeAdvisor helped our business quite a bit. It definitely created many jobs and repeat customers. And obviously it has cost us some money on many jobs that we haven't gotten, but that's the way it is. In addition, their employees have been friendly and professional. I had one complaint and they're working on that for me. I've been with them since I started the company and everything's been good so far.

** and his team did an excellent job and were able to finish the job under a tight deadline. Excellent work!

HomeAdvisor kept up with the progress of my job which was appreciated; however, I could not respond to HA to explain that the project had been delayed due to bad weather. If there was a way to respond to messages I couldn't find it. RECOMMENDATION: Provide a clearly identified way to respond to emails. Great doing business with HA otherwise.

Cancelled my HomeAdvisor account. Have a written email from their department stating they are sorry to see me go, and they tried to bill me for renewal 2 months later through collection. Don't use service is bad, leads are bad, they bill for leads you don't answer.

HomeAdvisor provided me with the name of five Pros quickly. I talked to three of them and selected one. The selected company finished the job at the time I requested and did an excellent job.

Had an obsolete bathtub/shower faucet replaced. HomeAdvisor immediately hooked us up with a great plumber (BlueFrog of Fairfax, VA).

I've been with HomeAdvisor for 10 years now - they want me as bad as I want them. ;) Their team was excellent, always courteous. They are the best.

What a pleasure to work with. Kept me informed on the delivery of my door and sent professional people to accomplish the work.

I like that you do not have to create an account to use the website. They only gave two options for service providers but that turned out to be more than enough. Both called within the hour and gave satisfactory quotes for their service. The one I chose lived up to its reviews. I would trust HomeAdvisor for finding help with future home projects.

They made recommendations and I had previous reviews to help me make a decision. Service was prompt and they answered the phone even though it was a holiday weekend.

** was very professional and by the time he finished he felt like part of the family. He would go out of his way to help us with our tile selections by meeting us a few times at the tile store to make sure we were purchasing the correct tiles and to give us his design ideas. He went above and beyond to help us with obstacles we encountered or if we changed our minds. He was also very flexible with the timing of the project as we were faced with back ordered items and he was able to reschedule the work when the parts arrived. **'s pricing was very reasonable. We had 3 full bathrooms remodeled and if we need any other type of work we will be sure to call him back.

I got a call within 10 mins of requesting a quote for replacing metal roof. Very pleased.

Removed and replaced travertine floor tiles in master shower. Sealed tile.

Very satisfied with company. Recommended.

HomeAdvisor without a doubt helped me grow my business. I've been with them for almost six years and I've had no complaints.

HomeAdvisor pointed me to a great company for what I needed! Thank you!

The General Contractors were very nice and showed up forty five minutes after I called. I couldn't have had a better experience.

The project included removal of rotted wooden gate over 20 years old and installing a new wooden gate with steel posts, hinges and latch.

I was given a list of three options. All three contacted me within 10 minutes.

I had no idea if HomeAdvisor has the ability to pinpoint the right plumber for me - we have a pretty old boiler. But it did. Also, it found someone for me after I waited patiently for a few minutes. I have used HomeAdvisor for many projects around the house and have always been satisfied. Great job! Keep it up!

5X10 master closet with vertical wrinkle. Got an immediate response, booked the appt, contractor arrive, gave quote, did the job in a house in outstanding manner. I've used HomeAdvisor a couple of times and have had a positive experience each and every time. Very comforting to have the vetting process already accomplished. Saves time and worries. Website is very easy to use. Thank you HomeAdvisor for a very professional setup.

I got a good contractor recommendation, backed by great customer feedback. The contractor and HomeAdvisor maintained great communication throughout.

Quality recommendations for selection of job.

I received phone calls within minutes of completing the form. I would rather make the initial contact after I get a chance to read the reviews. I didn't like having to give my phone number to preferred contractors.

Yes I would recommend both of the roof cleaning & grade work contractors I used. They were Great. On Time and did what they said they would do.

We've been with HomeAdvisor for a few years. I'd recommend them.

I had multiple choices through this website as well as another. I found this one the best for what I needed done. The contractor was very good and so was the results.

Will definitely use again – very good experience with the contractor that I found using this service.

HomeAdvisor's recommendation was the best. They came quickly to do an estimate and were able to schedule the work for minimum disruption of our lives. They did a great job.

I posted a review on a company who is terrible. On other sites you only see bad reviews. However, on Homeadvisor there is one bad review and 5 good reviews. If you dealt with Ridgeview Restoration at all you would know that is impossible. The guy is a con, pure and simple. They did not post my bad review and the people from other sites I have contacted said their bad reviews are not posted for him. They did not post my daughter's bad review either. I have to think a company can get a bad review taken off. Can you pay homeadvisor to take off a bad review? Seems fishy to me.

No complaints. HomeAdvisor recommended a certified contractor which was not as expensive as I thought they would be for dealing with asbestos. All in all if you have to spend money dealing with a environmental and health hazard, which should be removed at the expense of the manufacturers, have the task performed correctly! It takes time and costs money have asbestos removed. There are many "Law Firms" dealing with people impacted by the material but nothing is available to assist a homeowner in funding such a project but folks like HomeAdvisor. Great recommendation. Thanks!

I like going to HomeAdvisor for their recommended contractors because I had been successful in hiring from the lists I get from them. It is a very good free service and I recommend them highly. The contractors also do a good job when they know you got them from HomeAdvisor, I think.

Huge time saving and reassuring vetting of contractors. Each one called within 24 hrs to review needs/service request and to schedule an onsite estimate. All very experience, driven, and knowledgeable. Will be using HomeAdvisor again.

The people at HomeAdvisor are great and they positively affected my plumbing business.

Glad I used your service, couldn't be happier. I will be booking more projects through the website. Thank You.

Thanks for having great contractors and this site without charging. Doesn't seem like anything is free anymore!!

I belong to Angie's List but will not renew with them since finding this service. I have recommended using this service to my friends and co-workers because I was so pleased with how easy it was to use.

Cut holes in existing soffit, removed rotten wood and replace if necessary, wrap house and put on vinyl siding.

Very rewarding to know there is a one-stop place to get excellent recommendations.

I was able to contact the companies that I wanted after doing research. I didn't get a bunch of spam phone calls, it was up to me who to call. I really liked that. I will use this site again.

We've been a member of HomeAdvisor for a year or so. I've had nothing but positive experiences with them. The only couple of issues I've ever had was with the customers not being fully aware that every time they make an inquiry, that incur a charge. Nevertheless, my business has grown a little bit and I've recommended HomeAdvisor to some of my other contractor friends.

I was trying to find a reliable contractor and I was able to find one using this website and it was free. With Angie's list you have to pay to subscribe, here you don't. I read the reviews when I was searching. I will recommend this website to anyone who wants to find a contractor that they can trust basing it on the reviews from the customers.

Needed to find someone to replace a leaking 40 gallon gas hot water heater. HomeAdvisor gave me two plumbers, I clicked on the one that had the most reviews. I read the reviews, wrote down the name and phone number of the company and the next morning they actually called me! Very cool. The plumber did an excellent job and would recommend him and this site.

Replace front stoop and sidewalk.

Company did a great job at a very reasonable price.

Sometimes HomeAdvisor is great and sometimes terrible. It depends on the day and what happened. But overall I'm satisfied with them.

Replace broken sections of driveway.

I found this site to be very helpful. I plan to use more often when doing home maintenance.

Needed someone to install a new gutter on one side of our house and Premier Gutters were the guys that we went with. Brian Nix is a great business owner and did a fantastic job on our house. We only needed a gutter on the backside of the house and Brian did not discard such a small job. Treated us as if we were installing a lot more.

I've had a lot of success with HomeAdvisor. There are a lot of positives. The only negative is that sometimes they'd list the call wrong where they'd get more money for it. For example, a panel upgrade which they charge sometimes 20-something dollars but when you read the narrative of what the customer was asking for, they're saying they got a bad breaker. That's not a panel upgrade. That's just a troubleshooting deal and it should be a $15 problem. But other than that, they get the calls and I've had pretty good experience with them. I'm still with them and I've been with them for three years now (maybe longer).

Very knowledgeable about trees. Excellent work and clean-up after job.

Sprinkler valve replacement - The job was completed efficiently. I had looked on YouTube and I immediately knew it was above my expertise.

Great having recommendations in my area. Wish there were more reviews on the company. Only had one before me and it was superb as mine was.

I am very happy with HomeAdvisor. I have used this service twice. The first was for pool repair which is still in process -- that has had some issues/delays because of the company I picked. But the A/C repair, aside from the expense, was great! HomeAdvisor is fast and takes out some of guesswork when looking to hire.

When I went to the website, it was very easy to navigate and find what I was looking for. I will indeed use Home Advisor again in the future!

HomeAdvisor has kept me going. It's been pretty good, except for getting refunds for things that don't work for some reason. When I can't make stuff work, they call me back two weeks later and tell me the things are all right. I'm sure they're not asking the customer the right questions. It just makes it hard for me because when I talk to the customer, it's not my field. Hopefully it goes smooth.

I have used HomeAdvisor, with great results, for several projects. This latest project was for landscaping to prevent water coming into the house. I had only one referral, which I used and am satisfied. Before I chose the one referral I tried posting again, in hopes I could get more than one bid. I was disappointed they could not give me any more companies to call.

Great new resource. I am very happy to have received good solid recommendations of multiple contractors for various services. Each time, multiple contractors have responded quickly, enabling me to make an informed and fast decision. The on-line contractor-specific information is also very helpful. I have found it to be very accurate, and the contractors I have chosen have been just right for me and for my projects. Thank you!

I found two excellent pros for two separate projects. Both responded the same day I submit a request to HomeAdvisor. Air conditioning and sprinklers were both working by the end of the day. Great service. Thanks.

Reasonable and fast service.

Find outdoor GFI current leak and repair cable splice. HomeAdvisor put me in touch with Affordable Electric here in Fishers, Indiana. ** arrived within 2 hrs and was able to accurately troubleshoot and repair the problem within 2 hrs. He described everything to me as he performed the repairs. He did an expert job and charged a reasonable fee. I will call HomeAdvisor in the future for more recommendations.

Service was ok. Got emails asking about service. Follow-ups could be different. Could help owners and contractor better. Call me. I got ideas that will help all.

As long as HomeAdvisor gets people to answer the phone, I make money. But if I don't get somebody, that sucks. They're all right, all in all.

We needed emergency electrical and number found on the internet connected with HomeAdvisor and the representative went beyond 5 stars to help; steered us to the electrician who came early the next morning and solved all our problems and then some that had been a problem for 3 days. The contractors we hired for our kitchen remodel from HomeAdvisor were here working at the same time. Excellent businesses recommended which have been hard to find in my area in the past.

HomeAdvisor recommends true professionals and I've had more than one great experience with them. I appreciate having peace of mind that the person helping me improve my home has a vested interest in repeat customers!

Appliance repair - arrived on time. Saved me $. Professional and knowledgeable.

Installed a kitchen faucet and bathroom tub faucet and shower head. They showed up when they said they would. Gave me an estimate and I approved. This was at 4:30 in the afternoon and they stayed and got the job done. Job well done.

Used your service to find glass repair professionals. Got numerous contacts. I was able to find what I needed at a fair price.

This 5 star service followed a 0 star experience my first time with HomeAdvisor. Your average is up to 3. I am glad I gave you the opportunity of a second chance.

Supplied excellent repairman for my garage opener. Received 2 references. One responded and did a good job.

I stumbled upon HomeAdvisor researching Paver Driveways on the internet and I am so glad I did. They sent a list of companies to contact and then the companies contacted me. I hire one and had a new driveway within two weeks. It would have been a much more difficult process without HomeAdvisor.

Locating the best AC installation/repair company in my area, I was called immediately with same day visit and next day installation at a fair price and extremely professional staff.

Had Ace Plumbing out for a service call and considering the difficulty due to an older home they were great in my experience. Would recommend them anytime!

This is the first time that I used HomeAdvisor. The experience was very good. It provided a quality contractor, who was attentive and focused on customer service. The reviews and information provided by HomeAdvisor made it very easy to see the services offered by the contractor in addition to customer reviews. All of that information made the selection process very easy.

Great service to find qualified, licensed and skilled workers.

I've been with HomeAdvisor for a couple of years and everything has been good. They've been professional and I never had any issues. If I had any concerns, they addressed it immediately. It's been great and they've done well for me. It has its ups and downs but for the most part lately, it's been not as productive as I would have liked. But that's the way business is. I can convert some leads to a job and some were just kind of looking. The only downside that I see with HomeAdvisor is, of course, I pay for the membership. Nevertheless, I'd definitely recommend them.

I have used Home Advisor for a few different projects now. I like the way I can tailor it to my needs and quickly get a list of pros. I feel very strongly about hiring local people, who really want and need the work. So far all my "hires" have been successful.

In the past year, I have turned to HomeAdvisor for many reasons: sprinkler repair, air conditioning service and repair, appliance repair, tree service, lawn service, electrician, to name a few. Every single time I have found very professional companies to respond to my request and have been very happy with the results. I would highly recommend HomeAdvisor.

HomeAdvisor gave me the names of three companies in my area with reviews from people that had used them in the past. I interviewed and received estimates for two of them and chose the one that I felt was able to do what I wanted when I wanted it done. I was extremely please with both companies and would recommend others to use HomeAdvisor's service.

Tree work. This was my first experience with HomeAdvisor and it will not be my last.

While online searching for information on water heater installation I saw the ad for HomeAdvisor. I decided to take a chance and submitted my information and needs to them and within a half an hour I had two different plumbers calling me with estimates. I'm so happy I took a chance on HomeAdvisor and will use them again!

Allstate Dependable did the job quickly and professionally with no complications. Very courteous and straightforward. I will definitely recommend this company.

Amazing response. I requested online Memorial weekend; within 1 minute after sending, I received 6 call backs. The very 1st call back, next day, I hired JC Electric to do the job. I couldn't of been more satisfied with HomeAdvisor.

It is a good way to find handyman for small project. The reviews from the owners are helpful tips for making my hiring decision.

The site is buggy. Things don't work smoothly and sometimes the program jumps around when I have not clicked on anything.

The first place I look. I have used HA many times over many years. I like the ratings and comments from other customers and the approximate cost for the type of repair.

Needed a locksmith in the Isle of Palms, South Carolina area.

Great Electrical Service. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy.

I needed a Window person to change all the latches on the windows throughout my house. I put in the request and received numerous "Thank Yous" from HomeAdvisor telling me they were working on my request and urging me to consider other projects. I went online on my own and found a good company to do the work for me. I tried returning one of HomeAdvisor's "Thank You" notes telling them to forget it - I had found my own person and received another Thank You. This site is a ripoff and I am sure prices are inflated to give HomeAdvisor some reward for finding the client. I did try to find one of the companies on their list in the Yellow Pages.....didn't exist. So, they protect themselves by using pseudonyms online. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Things have been good with HomeAdvisor so far, but prices have been going up since I joined. Two years before, when I first joined, they said that I was only going to be charged $9.99 per lead no matter what and I think now there's a monthly fee. A lot of times I'll get leads and I call back, but no one ever answers. They're dead leads but I still get charged up to $20. They say there's nothing people can do about it, nothing they refund so sometimes I wonder if it's actually HomeAdvisor that's generating those leads just to make more money, 'cause there's no way to actually trace them. Still HomeAdvisor's effect on my business has been pretty good. Also whenever I talk to anyone of their reps, they seem nice.

HomeAdvisor was great!!

I am happy with the work the company did for me. HomeAdvisor is a great feature, fast, very helpful. My request was specific but some companies do not read it- they contacted me with different work. I'd use HomeAdvisor again and again. Saves you time and frustration with search on the Internet and telephone when doing own search.

The person I found through HomeAdvisor was professional, detailed, and did a 5 star job for a one time cleaning of an empty apartment. I will definitely go through HomeAdvisor if I need someone to do a specific job

HomeAdvisor, it's the principle here. As a contractor I couldn't find myself on their website after paying to be there. I received 70% bogus leads. Didn't want the service and was taunted by the NO REFUND POLICY. Damn at least pro-rate your questionable service when some one wants to opt out. I filed a claim with my credit card company and got my money back then they tried to send me to collections. Because I value my excellent credit I called them to see what I could to stop them. There was absolutely nothing they could do for me. So I agreed to go back and they gave me five free leads. 4 of 5 leads were people NOT seriously looking for an electrician. This struggle I'm having is for $300.00 and what that $300.00 is for is an online ad that can easily be taken down and my money pro- rated. Like I said, it's the principle. I won't even get started on their lead system.

The main reason I used HomeAdvisor is because it's free. Also, this site is so much easier to look through than trying to find someone in the phone book and you can't read customer reviews in the yellow pages.

He did an excellent job repairing the cracks and matching the stucco. I highly recommend him.
