HomeAdvisor allowed me to sit back and let contractors and roofers compete for my project, which was great because the stress of finding a quality and affordable company search me out. The process was simple and the only hard part was telling companies thank you, but no thank you.

I have used Home Advisor several times now and it has worked exceptionally well each time. This time there was one small glitch in the initial phase of contacting my pro. The online interface popped a dialogue box saying that the provider did not service my area. That contradicted the initial information and turned out to be inaccurate. Within minutes the provider called me and we made arrangements by phone.

I have had two projects now that I needed HomeAdvisor to help me find the right contractor. One for home sprinklers and one for home theatre sound. In both cases the list of contractors provided had two stinkers and one home run. While you still need to interview the proposed contractors, being that they came from Home Advisor they expect that they will have to compete so it strengthens the consumer's hand. Fortunately in both projects Home Advisor provided at least one superior contractor so both projects came to a successful conclusion. I will use HA's again.

After contacting the company and describing the problem needing to be resolved, a representative came to my home to evaluate the problem. He said that he would write up the job and send me an estimate for the job. I received the estimate dated 3/21/2019. A few weeks later, I was given the start date of May 13/14, 2019. It rained on both of those dates and I was told I would have to be re-scheduled.

I worked with HomeAdvisor as a pro, I am the owner of Peak Flooring and I am beyond dissatisfied with HomeAdvisor. A word of warning to my fellow business owners thinking about signing up with them, DON'T!!! I have figured out how they operate and it's just another money scheme, you're not paying for the "service" they provide, they are middle manning and charging a ridiculous amount for the "service".
This is how it works; you have a bracket as far as how much you want to put out in leads weekly and the minimum is $200 a week...which is ridiculous. What if I only need 1 lead a week at around $50-$100 a lead? This is all just to guarantee the money flow from you to them. Then the leads they send you they will send to at least 3 other pros and let you basically compete for the customer by responding faster, offer a better price and etc. but they still charge all the pros they sent the lead to even though one got the job or maybe the customer found someone not from HomeAdvisor, basically a win win for HA.
I was upset and their customer care tried to make up for it by giving me credits and that's when they told me about opportunity matching, which is when a home owner and you accept then you get charged, basically you got the job. THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE I THOUGHT. So I gave them another chance and didn't cancel my account, I still have not received one such match, why? Because they make an average of $200-$300 per customer with pro hookup by charging multiple pros and that's just on a small project say $900 worth. I have had 4 times the success simply advertising through Craigslist for $5 a month!!!

I was called by a HomeAdvisor rep offering to guarantee me more business. They said I had to pay a yearly fee of $350 and would only have to pay for leads on jobs that I sold. They requested that I give them the names and phone numbers of friends and family that would be willing to give me positive reviews for them to share for my business.
After they contacted everyone and got me set up I got my first lead. I called the “customer” that they sent me who was interested in a new furnace. When I called them they informed me that they had never requested anything and that I was the 4th person to call her that hour. The next lead I got was the same day, this “customer” informed me they were also an HVAC contractor and they had no idea how I would have gotten their number as they don’t advertise with HomeAdvisor.
In all I received 4 of these leads that days. Not one of them had any idea what I was talking about. At this point I was a bit frustrated and called William (the gentleman that made first contact with me) and he said there must be some mistake and he would get to the bottom of it. These false sales leads continued to come in until my bank called me and asked if I was aware that HomeAdvisor had been taking $60 from my account multiple times a day the entire time! I then called William back and he informed me that they charge me for every lead they send out, which is not what he told me when he sold me on this nonsense.
After about an hour of arguing with him he agreed to reimburse me for the sales leads, but would not reimburse me the initial $350 since that was my membership fee and they did all the work getting my reviews. I then requested that they cancel my account and just give me my $900 that they took without my consent.Needless to say, I never got any of my money back and they never stopped with their sales leads. Fortunately I had put a block on them taking any more money from my account. This has been almost 1.5 years since this happened and I am still getting phone calls from HomeAdvisor asking if I want to reactivate my account no matter how many times I ask them to leave me alone.

My husband and I both work full time so when something makes more sense to bid out than do ourselves HomeAdvisor gets us quick quotes from reputable contractors who communicate the way we need them to. We've had almost entirely 4 or 5 star experiences in the two years we've used HomeAdvisor.

Their leads are about 4/5 are useless. Every contractor I've talked to has told me the same. When you tell them this and ask for a refund for useless leads, they will try their darndest to steal your money. Save your money and frustration. They don't know anything about their contractors or the contractors' businesses, which leads to insane prices per lead. For consumers, don't believe them when they say they verify their contractors. My verification process was just to show them my business application, which anybody can do for $50. No license asked for, no insurance. I'm pretty sure I could have just showed them a business card and they'll take that.

What a scam! I had a bad solenoid on a sprinkler valve. I am 85 years old with neuropathy and the solenoid is in an in ground box so very difficult to get on my knees. I hired Rob. He unscrewed the old and screwed in the new solenoid-2 minutes. Everything works-job complete. $75. Yeah right! WAIT. Rob says valve is cracked and immediately saws off the PVC line to the entire front yard. Later I critically examined the valve—no crack!! We have to replace valve and since there are three old one so we should replace all three—all the standard plastic type. A week later Rob says he is on his way to replace the valves. I was very busy day so I could not watch. He shows up with three “Brass valves” without my permission—Cost $300 he says! (Later online I find in-line brass valves for $27, 32, 36; My same old plastic valves $12!) I was leaving the State for 21 days so I had no choice as Rob sawed off the line to the front lawn and it would die.
Rob claimed he sent an invoice by email of the brass and the cost. I received nothing-triple verified. We always used the phone. Rob does not have an email on his letter/invoice, in fact, he has a fictitious website, no address and only cell phone number and HOMEADVISOR listed. I checked all of my email boxes—nothing. A lie? His invoice said he was going to check cost of plastic which would make the invoice contingent. Apparently he did not. I had to leave-4 pm, Friday and he was not quite through so I paid him. He told NOT to turn on the water until tomorrow. Hm? Apparently he left right after I did and went directly to the bank to cash the check. All the mud was shoved into the hole covering all the valves. The valve box was sitting about 4 higher than the ground. The once level pavers were just tossed in the general area. He apparently had to leave fast to get to the bank.
The next day, I attempted to run the valves several times and none worked. I had to “get on my hands and knees” to dig through the mud and wires to find the valves. I was able to get them working. Apparently they had not been tested. The $9 Solenoid is replaced but I now have much more work to do to dig out the valves, dig in the box and replace and level the pavers. It cost $560 and created a great deal more work up. Thanks a lot!!

They used to be named Service Magic, which did the same shady things. They currently have a class action law suit against them for these exact things. They charge the contractor $300 to sign up and claim they will set up your multiple sites for leads to generate business, but they never did that.

I set up a 1:00 PM appointment with Lance, at Hill's Lawn & Grounds Arvada. He never never showed up. I called his answering service and no callback. I emailed his office and no response.

I got plenty of responses. The part of the project description needs more choices, there wasn't any category for horse fence or field fence. So I got responses from outfits that had not installed this type of fence. I chose a contractor that had done similar fences before.

When I believed I needed professional service, I contacted Home Advisor by completing a form. I changed my mind and did NOT submit the form, as I used a professional whom I had used previously. Even though I did not submit the form I was contacted by professionals. This was very uncomfortable. My information should not be passed on when a request is not made. The professionals who contacted me after I submitted the form were courteous, knowledgeable and professional. I would try this again, as long as I do not receive calls without a form submittal.

I have had good success with home advisor and find immediate response rate. Typically they are recommended certified companies. Only had 1 company that called but never called back to help with and appointment. Most companies I have had experience with seem to be honest and genuine as they are rated. The businesses have legitimate credentials which makes me feel confident I'm not being taken for. Home Advisor usally provides a few choices which is also providing a few options and not just one company to chose from.

I have only used two services one for A/C service & one for upholstery cleaning. I like that you give the top three, but that there are others you can look at. I made great choices!

I have dealt with 3 contractors from HomeAdvisor and am dissatisfied with all of them. One showed up, got details on job, and never responded with a bid. Second one agreed to job, gave me a start date, and never showed. Didn't answer phone calls or texts. Third did work and was decent price & offered 1 year warranty on cracks. Driveway cracked within 8 months of pouring. Called and texted contractor and he never answered. Don't use HomeAdvisor!!

Through HomeAdvisor I scheduled a cleaning service for my house. The morning of the cleaning (the day before I was hosting an important event) I got a call from a woman who said she was with HomeAdvisor. She was sick and wanted to reschedule. Not only could I not reschedule, I could not book another agency to clean due to the short notice. Things got worse. I called HomeAdvisor and they apologized, but could not find a replacement. They told me to call other businesses in the area to see if they could send someone to help me out. They could not do this for me (and no one from this business ever called me back). Additionally, they could not guarantee the price I was quoted. HomeAdvisor did nothing to resolve the problem. This was my first and only experience. 100% unreliable.

I was contacted by HomeAdvisor to set up a Real Estate Appraiser account. I believe I paid $265 or $285 to get on HomeAdvisor. The sales pitch was great. However, I realized I was being billed an additional fee for every time an individual thought they needed an appraisal which they call a lead. This week a lead was sent to me and when I called to discuss if they needed an appraisal it turned out it was a student just trying to research how much an appraisal would cost. But you will be billed every time this happens and you will not get a refund. I am not sure but I think it is near a 10% rate or less that you will actually receive an appraisal, and the rest are people who think they need an appraisal when they do not for a refinance or some other weird situation. This needs to be reported as something like a scam. If you are a professional who think they may benefit I would pass and just work on getting a website that gets noticed.

ATTN Pro's: When it comes to disputes between Pro's and customers, HomeAdvisor ALWAYS sides with the customer. Any customer can post any defamatory, untrue comment they want about any Pro/business and are not required to demonstrate any proof to support their claim or complaint. Even if the Pro can provide documentation or grounds to why the complaint is invalid, even if you do good work and use contracts, etc., there is a good chance HomeAdvisor will not remove the complaint or bad review from the Pro's profile. They claim to have a review appeals process where you can contest bad reviews, but it is a waste of time or all-together non-existent. They simply will not advocate for the Pro.

This was perhaps my third project with Home Advisor. I have no issues with contractors that I used. The initial response time in all cases once I detailed what service I required was immediate.

Someone recently suggested I try HomeAdvisor to find a contractor. When I went online, I only wanted to see what companies were listed, but without my consent HomeAdvisor sent my information out and all the contractors began calling me. I then discovered one of the contractors is not licensed by the city of Chicago, even though on the HA website, it states they are. When I called HA to find out why this would be got a young woman, Angelica, who could not answer and told me to contact the contractor. Since the idea we are going to HA to vet these companies, I felt this was not a sufficient response.
She said she would transfer me to a business advisor, but put me on hold for a long time, then hung up on me. Again, not what one would hope for from this company. When I try to find a corporate number, there is none. Only puts you back to their general customer service recording. So, other than this review, I cannot do anything to correct this. I will never use HomeAdvisor for anything again, as they do not support, nor stand behind what is stated on the website and no one to contact beyond bad customer service.

Twice I have experienced bad quality and dishonest work from HomeAdvisor's choice of professionals. I hired a painter from HomeAdvisor to paint my house. They sprayed my house with a very thin coat. They missed spots all around entire house and you could still see the color of the old paint. I complained to HomeAdvisor and sent pictures to the painter.
I needed a landscaper and one was recommended. His talk was very convincing to me so I hired him. He claimed his sons mowed my lawn on their very first day of work. I was home all that day and didn't see nor hear anyone mowing my lawn. It didn't even look like it had been freshly mowed. He also didn't come as scheduled to give estimate for other work. These companies are paying HomeAdvisor to be recommended for jobs. HomeAdvisor doesn't find companies who are well known for good quality work and honesty. It's about HomeAdvisor getting paid by these small and unreliable companies who make false promises.

I joined HomeAdvisor on March 1st, 2019 with the understanding that they would forward me phone numbers for lead.

I called to compliance numerous times with promises that they would forward me new leads that were active. The end on March I called to cancel my membership and request a refund, the HomeAdvisor operator told me if I would stay and try one more month he would give me 4 free credits for leads. If it didn’t work out he work refund my membership. Weeks later, I received one more lead, no answer like before. For the last 3 weeks I haven’t received any new phone numbers. What am I paying for? I also forwarded them 20 contact reviews to call. They only called 5. I have come to the conclusion that these are fake numbers and bogus leads. STAY AWAY. Next stop BBB.

The plumber was polite, punctual and very professional. Our toilet was clogged. The issue was resolved quickly and the price was very reasonable. On the second call, He worked very carefully doing delicate work to repair some old kitchen pipes under my sink. He explained that because of the age of the pipes they could crumble and need major repair underneath my house. He knew I was on a fixed income. He hoped to avoid that expense for me. He even had the parts he needed with him. He also shared as he worked that he had experience repairing pipes like mine before. They are copper dating back to the 1950's.
This is the first time I remember a plumber being concerned about doing more than necessary. And as he worked with obvious skill, I realized that I was really glad that he was not a new plumber just starting out. On another call last Winter, I awoke to frozen pipes. I was filled with dread, imagining the worst case scenario. I called him. He suggested I do a few things and call him back if it didn't do the trick. Oh my gosh, it worked! I called him back overwhelmed with gratitude. One evening I watched the evening news report a story that undermined the credibility Of HomeAdvisor with a few unhappy customers. The odds of a few bad experiences out of thousands of good ones is to be expected. As I watched I realized that I had called my plumber three times within a year and a half being extremely happy with each repair, and I hadn't written even one review.
I am more than grateful to have the help of HomeAdvisor and their service has always been free. On my budget I couldn't have paid for that too. They do everything they advertise making sure the repairmen are skilled and credible. This does take time. I know this because I used to own a busy hair salon. I always met with three plumbers to get estimates whenever we needed work. I had to do my own research on each one. Only the BBB was available to get background information. And being a female business owner was the same as going to a mechanic as a single mom. I got taken advantage of unless I asked a male friend to go with me.
I shared this last part because I wanted to illustrate how priceless an honest skilled craftsman is. I changed it from repairman to craftsman after I watched my plumber carefully create new pipe to connect to old copper pipe that had crumbled. I may feel stress over something in my home needing unexpected repair. But I don't feel stress wondering if someone is skilled or honest, and not trying to pad the bill with repairs that aren't necessary. I will always call HomeAdvisor for any type of home repair.

My company joined HomeAdvisor as one of its Pros. The way this works, is we pay for leads based on industry and area. We decided to cancel after a year due to poor leads, and because we cancelled 1 day late, they would not make an exception of any kind, and not refund any of our money. I would have taken a partial refund. Given that they received the annual fee, plus money for leads that never led to real work, we, as a small business, lost a good amount of money with HomeAdvisor. We would not recommend using them as a Service Professional.
