Garage door repair. Home Advisor is a great resource for finding quality contractors and arriving at the best work for the best price. I use them whenever I am faced with a project with which I am unfamiliar. The contractors who participate on this service are quick to respond and can usually schedule the work within 24 hours.

I contracted with Pine Land Consulting after a referral from Home Advisor and reading some of their reviews. This is a great company to deal with; I feel that their pricing is very fair, and the value they provided was outstanding. They showed up on time (15min early), and worked hard all day removing three trees and all of the branches and debris. Then they returned to grind all three stumps, and afterwards removed the wood chips and left the sites very clean. I will definitely hire them again, and have already recommended them to a friend.

Signed up as a contractor and the representative told me SEVERAL TIMES we would only be charged for "sold" leads. This isn't accurate at all. You're charged $60 for EVERY lead, sold or not. Once I learned how the system really worked, I called back and told another representative what happened. They acted like it was no big deal and they tried to resell me on the service. I said no. I then asked for a refund. They begrudgingly said okay but it takes two weeks to a MONTH to get a refund and it was only gonna be a "partial refund" because they were going to charge me for two leads (at this point I've still yet to see ANY customer information).
I got mad and they relented and agreed to a full refund. I then said two weeks to a month was unacceptable because their rep was dishonest. He said no. I asked to speak to a supervisor. He said none were available. I said he needed to transfer me to a supervisor or issue a refund and he told me I was welcome to wait on hold for a few hours, then he put me on hold. These people are crooks and liars. DO NOT use this service.

Made appointment for a housecleaner on a Sat. at 1100. Paid in advance. Was the cheapest quote. HomeAdvisor texted me the day before to confirm. Great. Sat at 1000 get a text. Due to last minute Pro call off my appointment. Was rescheduled to Monday at 11 am. Good thing my husband was off work on Monday but OK. My event is not until Tues. SO I was feeling a little uneasy when it was close to 11 am and no one had arrived. Also wasn't worried when the housekeeping "Professional" called to say she was stuck in traffic but will be there in 10 mins. An hour and a half later I had to call HomeAdvisor to be told my Professional had an emergency and couldn't make it. Were they even going to tell me??
Their response "We hire independent contractors and if they don't show up we can only give you your money back as we don't have our own staff. Just independent contractors." They have flaky contractors that don't show up and the consumer has no recourse for wasting time. Leaving me with no time for me to find a replacement. Go to a real company that has their own staff if you need to get something done in a certain time frame. Or if you want to be sure you can have a real person guarantee the work.

Was given the name immediately of two roofers who both contacted me within a few minutes. Both were able to come out next morning. The first company came out early morning, was very knowledgeable and thorough. Went above and beyond to provide me with pictures of attic and roof damages and explained what needed to be repaired. Explained two separate options for repair and provided me with estimate the next morning. All repairs and costs were included on their estimate.
The second roofer came out he immediately came in and told me I needed a complete new roof. I showed him the ceiling damage and did not even attempt to look in the attic or get on my roof. He kept telling me that it would cost me more to do repairs because I would have to keep repairing different areas of my roof. Half of my roof was replaced 7 years ago. It needed one minor repair of a couple shingles the second roofer insisted the entire roof needed to be replaced. He was more interested in debating what breed my dog was than looking at my roof. He measured the length and width of my house and told me he could do and entire roof for $9.000.00. I asked if that would be for everything and he told me he was willing to eat 3 sheets of ply wood but you know when you pull are roof off you never know what you would find.
He said he gave a 15 year warranty but we wouldn't need it because they do such good work. It covers problems with the installation not things that would wear out. He left my house and I was so aggravated with his attitude. An hour later he called and gave me an estimate to repair damage only for $2,800. How without getting on my roof could he even estimate what needed to be repaired. Needless to say I hired the first roofer, Crescent City Roofing. They did a great job for a great price. Very professional and explained everything along the way.

I am a licensed home renovator with 20 years of experience. I have received numerous calls over the past two years from HomeAdvisor, looking to recruit our company for their local market. The salespeople, as typical, can be aggressive. I finally agreed to try out their program about 6 weeks ago. The entire sales pitch, contract, and sign up process took place during one phone session. In hindsight, never a good start.
I agreed to pay a one time fee of $287.99 and, after passing a background check, I would have the advantage of premium local listing and exposure on their site and I would begin receiving "verified" job leads. These potential clients would fill out several forms that would provide the information needed for HomeAdvisor to custom match them with my company's specific interests and would allow me to review and make an informed decision on the value and validity of the prospective job. I could then accept the lead and I would pay a fee for the information.
I plainly expressed my concerns that I did not want to pay $50-$200 for junk leads that were not in my geographical area, did not match my company's specialties or abilities, or did not have enough potential value for a return on my investment. I was specifically told by the salesperson that I will be able to review all information and choose to accept any new leads before I would be charged a fee. Seemed fair enough.
I began receiving leads through email and voicemail. These were usually vague and many only contained a client's name, address, and a title such as "needs an addition". Definitely not a lot of information to go on. One such "kitchen remodel" however did had more information. Upon opening the lead, I discovered that the client only wanted to organize their spice racks! There was not one single lead who had an architectural rendering, a basic drafted plan, or even an estimated budget for the project. During this time period I did accept one potential lead, to which I received no reply. Eventually I stopped viewing these leads altogether due to their poor quality and lack of substance.
I opened my credit card statement this month and discovered that I have been charged over $1,200 by HomeAdvisor during the past 6 weeks. I immediately contacted them to dispute these charges. After all, I had only accepted one sales lead. And even that led to nothing. I was informed by a representative that I had misunderstood our agreement and their policies. Apparently there are two types of leads, both of which look alike as emails. One type is designed to be opened, reviewed, and accepted before any charges are incurred. The other type is automatically sent and also automatically charged - regardless of the content, quality, or whether or not you viewed it. This was obviously not explained to me during the solitary phone conversation and I told the representative that I never would have agreed to blindly paying hundreds of dollars for chance information because I had no clue about this company's reputation or credibility.
I expressed my feeling that their salesperson had been obviously and intentionally deceptive. After speaking with two separate reps I was told that they would not issue any refunds and that the best they would do would be to give me 5 "free leads". How absurd. I immediately cancelled any further service and my credit card company is currently disputing the charges. It only took about two minutes for them to agree that I had been the victim of shady business practices at best, and fraudulent deception at worst.

I was searching a painter to refresh my wooden deck. Couple of years ago I performed this work by myself and the quality of paint was still good, but needed better, more fresh look. Found a few names of contractors on the net and called there. Unfortunately the call were transferred to "HomeAdvisor". A person who replied was polite and proposed to follow their advice for contractor in this field and in my area. One of the contractor arrived to my place to make an estimation. In the process of discussion the contractor mentioned that he has to pay substantial sum to HomeAdvisor for advertisement of his service. (And as a result this extra-expenses he has to cover by increasing the price for his work to the customer). When I received an offer from this contractor I was shocked how astronomically high ($1200) it was.
The second contractor from HomeAdvisor gave a little lower price but it was still very high. Finally without "help" of HomeAdvisor I found the painter (via his advertisement) in local paint store. This contractor proposed the price that was 2,5 times lower. It took him totally 4 hours during two days to finish the job that included power wash, small repair of wood and placing two coats of stain. This is only one example of work that I tried to fulfill with the "help" of HomeAdvisor.
The similar result of overrated proposal I received for Garage door repair and house power wash. In all cases I was able to find reliable contractor who did excellent job with MUCH lower prices because they did carry expenses for paying to HomeAdvisor.

Those of you who are considering using HomeAdvisor need to BEWARE. HomeAdvisor claims to be "free", however, they are being paid by the companies/individuals which are receiving the leads provided by HomeAdvisor. Therefore, HomeAdvisor is pumping out leads (as many as 5-10 per inquiry), with no incentive to maintain an actual database of truly professional contractors. They claim to only use contractors that have been verified (Licensed/Background Check, Etc.). This is not true.... They will take anyone who will pay them for the lead. Therefore, they may be sending an inexperienced contractor, or criminal to your home.
I am a contractor who signed up with HomeAdvisor several years ago, as a "safety net", in case the calls slowed down. One of the worst business decisions I have ever made. For the short time I used HomeAdvisor, I was getting duplicate leads, and leads for services I do not provide, and it cost me a fortune. Their background check consist of the person/company completing a short questionnaire. No verification or true background check is performed. They also do not require contractors to be licensed, especially in states where licensing of contractor's is somewhat vague or ambiguous.
HomeAdvisor preys on both the homeowners who are too lazy to do the proper legwork to get their projects completed (just like their commercial), and the "so called" contractors who try to build an instant business, without putting in the time and effort to become a true "professional contractor". So are those free contractor "hook-ups" really free? ....Think about it.
I would advise any homeowner to do your homework yourself (referrals, BBB, local home builders associations, etc. ), instead of depending on HomeAdvisor. Your home is probably your biggest asset, so why would you let a company who has no vested interest in your property, select from their limited, mostly low quality contractors, for your projects.
Most true professional contractors do not require lead generators to acquire business. I have been a roofing contractor for over 15 years. In the beginning, I would have used a lead generator such as HomeAdvisor, to get business. But I built my business from the ground up, and no longer require any advertising to maintain my business. Almost all my customers are referrals, or past customers.

Was very happy with the way HomeAdvisor provided a list of contractors. That said, the contractors were the issue when it came to getting quotes. I will use Home Advisor for all my future home project needs. I would also recommend Home Advisor do more follow up on their listed contractors because the contact info was not always accurate.

I came across HomeAdvisor and glad that I did. The service helped me locate the assistance I needed, as I am new to the area and totally unfamiliar with whom to call for what. Unless I missed it, I'm having difficulty just trying to locate a general contractor for estimates on varied immediate and future changes.

I got three estimates for my job (power wash the house, driveway, fence, pool cage, pool deck, and a retaining wall). All three companies sent a rep within 24 hours. I decided to go with Aris & Shine Cleaning Service. Although there weren’t many reviews of their power washing service, they had high ratings for other services. When it comes down to it, I hire people not a company. The couple came, I showed them what I wanted, they quoted me a price. But beyond that we just talked. I was impressed with their professionalism and their personalities. So how did they do the job? Not only did they do what I needed they threw in some extras. The job took a little longer than expected, but there is no doubt about the result. EVERYTHING they said they would do, they did! And everything looks fantastic. I have saved their info for the next time. Give them a chance and you will not be disappointed!

Pretending to be a customer in order to sell services. I spoke to one guy named Gil who was completely transparent that he was from HomeAdvisor, he was honest and didn't want to waste my time. I never followed through with Gil as I was unsure if HomeAdvisor is the best fit for my business. A couple months later I get a call from Grace **, who says she is interested in my window cleaning services in the Concord area. My flag should have been raised right there when she said Concord area.
Me thinking she was a customer I called her back. She left a phone number from Colorado. My flag did go up, so I reverse searched the number and called it and was greeted by a voice answering service for a Grace **, so I googled her name and a Facebook profile popped up stating that she worked for HomeAdvisor. I was annoyed that she would pretend to be a local customer. She should have stated that she was from HomeAdvisor. Now I want nothing to do with them or their shady business tactics. No thanks and please stop calling my phone from different numbers that say scam likely.

I haven't used them often but the few times that I did I was able to find someone to do what I had in mind. The only caveat is that just because you select a schedule time it doesn't mean that the company REALLY will come that day - they have to see what is available on their end.

I’ve used HomeAdvisor for a few jobs. One turned out well (install a dog fence); others not so well. One “carefully vetted pro” turned out to be a bit unbalanced, money hungry (as he is still going through bankruptcy) who was quick to pick up a check and pad the bill. We ended up firing him 90% of the way through our job of deck install, when the cash outlay hit 4x his estimate.
I was content to let it go, lesson learned, until 2 years later, our 50 year Ipe deck is showing signs of wear at places he failed to seal cut ends, and the rail he Jerry-rigged in place is falling apart. So I went back to HomeAdvisor to post a review, a negative review. First, someone called to make sure I was legit. (I had already logged in so who was I supposed to be). I asked to change the name that appeared under the review, as I am legit scared that the nutty broke contractor would burn down my house. They said to edit the details. I did. It still appeared under my name.
Two days later, HomeAdvisor called again to ask me to reconsider my negative review, as the contractor “is very concerned about his reputation..” If he was so concerned, maybe he should have done a better job and not lived by the “don’t kill the job” motto. And if Home Advisor actually cares about honest feedback, they should not have reached out a second time. Yes, the guy was awful, and scary, and money grubbing. And who wants to hire someone still in bankruptcy? Nice vetting. I asked HomeAdvisor to close my account. Based on this guy’s take of woe, it seems that only guys who have no other chance of building their business on their own would sign up to give a portion of their fee away. (Also: HomeAdvisor: is your fee based on the number of jobs? Or the percentage of the total job cost? If it’s the later, I'd place money on Jason** of Scituate ripping you off, too.)

I would rate this service higher but I don't like how my name and phone number was given to contractors I didn't invite. If HomeAdvisor didn't do it directly then it must be through some other way. It may be written in the fine print but they sure do not be completely open about it.

I just called HomeAdvisor because a contractor I found through them is not completing the job they were hired to do (I'll be reviewing them too) and I was hoping they could help resolve it. I spoke to a very nice lady who was extremely helpful. Then she told me "Hold on. Let me check the current ETA on a response from Customer Service... It says here 8 days."
Obviously that's completely unacceptable and I'll have to seek help elsewhere. But to be unable to return a phone call in 8 days means this entire company is a scam. They don't have any support staff and they assume I'll have moved on before they have to bother to get back to me. Or they're so understaffed that they might as well be a scam. The last time I heard of an 8 day return call expectation was probably 1987, before there was an Internet. There's just no reason for a company of this scale to be this slow in their response. I regret ever interacting with them.
