    Was supposed to send informational packet but it doesn’t open. Now I get a monthly charge for a policy I didn’t know I had. They can’t give me a policy number or send me a copy of this policy. I call, I email, I try everything and no answers. They don’t even ask me for any information to try to look it up. Claim it’s too late for a refund but cancel it. No proof is given that it was done so I do not trust them!!! Whenever they’re done talking to you they simply end the call and hang up. What an amazingly horrible customer service department!!!! TOTAL SCAM!!!!

    We apologize for any inconvenience. Our records show the packet was sent on 3/11/25, and you contacted us on 4/15 to cancel after the first payment, citing issues opening the plan via email. A customer service rep reached out on 4/17 and canceled the plan per your request. It appears the concerns mentioned have been resolved. For reinstatement or further assistance, please call 1-888-970-0087. We're happy to help and again apologize for the inconvenience.

    We hired Camilo of Lovely Painting to paint a significant portion of the interior of our home. She was punctual and extremely efficient. The quality of her work exceeded our expectations. Her quoted price was less than half of the next higher quote. We would not hesitate to hire her again!

      I requested to have some curtain rods and curtains installed on 7 windows. I had all of the necessary supplies and a ladder for them to use. Two guys came and reassured me that everything would be put up and all was well, etc. Well, I don't think either one had any experience in hanging rods or curtains. The measurements they took were not consistent and they did not use a stud finder. They had to re-do a rod which left holes in the walls. They said that my ceiling was "uneven" which it is not. They even tried to tell me at one point that I purchased the wrong rod. This turned out to be another error in measurement. They told me that a different team would have to come back to fill and paint, etc.

      There is still a rod that looks off but I didn't want them adding holes. After further inspection, I found one spot without a dry wall anchor and a visible hole from where they tried to install a middle bracket in a larger window. I should have researched this company more and read the reviews but here we are. I have attached some pictures of the freshly painted wall that will now need fixing. These guys were not professional and smelled like they had just hot boxed in the car before coming into my house. I like to give people a chance to prove themselves but I will not be contacting the company ever again. Use them at your own risk.

      We're sorry to hear you did not have a positive experience. This is certainly not the experience we aim to deliver at Porch. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

      As soon as we were made aware of this, we escalated the matter internally and provided direct feedback to the professional involved. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to address this issue and will continue working to improve and provide better service.

      I’m leaving this review specifically for the home warranty service offered through Porch.com (Porch Warranty), not the general contractor referral service. I submitted a warranty claim in December 2024 for a malfunctioning stove and dishwasher. A technician—Quentin from Parker Appliance Repair—was sent out multiple times but was unable to repair either appliance. After repeated attempts to reach the technician for follow-up (with no response), I emailed Porch on 1/29/25 and received no reply.

      When I finally got someone on the phone, I was told the dishwasher claim had been closed, even though it wasn’t fixed. Eventually, I spoke with an analyst (possibly named Pam) who said they’d issue me a refund check for both appliances, since the stove also couldn’t be repaired. I was told on 2/24/25 that the check would arrive in 2–3 weeks. Since then, I’ve made multiple follow-up calls. On 3/24/25, I was told the check hadn’t even been printed. On 3/25, I was told the claim was being expedited, but again, no call back. On 3/26, I spoke with Fernando, who told me the check was with the finance department and might take another 30 days. When I asked to speak with a supervisor or the finance department, I was denied both times. Fernando was also incredibly dismissive and talked over me the entire call.

      This experience has been exhausting, unprofessional, and unacceptable. Porch Warranty has made verbal commitments they haven’t kept, and the customer service has been consistently poor. If you’re considering Porch’s home warranty service—I strongly advise against it. I’ve spent over 3 months just trying to get a refund for appliances their techs couldn’t fix. Total waste of time and energy.

      This has been a 4-year DISGUSTING disappointing disaster... It all started about 4 years ago when the School owner/friend told me and the other Instructors to sign on with Porch for leads.. Both my colleague and myself both got hit hard at 1st with debit card pops to the point of closing the bank card. I pushed and got My Buddy Vic and Lia to call and Call and Call until I was SUCKERED INTO THE V.I.P. and sent in a large sum of money into a VIP account for leads. 1st in line etc.

      4 years later my $1500 plus account is now at its remaining $350 balance and I just got a email stating it will expire tomorrow and they will keep my remaining balance. Mind you. I have emailed and called in and off for years on top of numerous times ironically the last few weeks... 4 years absolutely positively zero projects... Zero zero zero... When I was expecting/opening/leads from Day 1 I did immediately... I was on the ball! What a bunch of no-good cowardly crooks... This is disgusting! This is wrong! This is criminal!!

      Green Energy Insulation came to the job. I had wet insulation and water in my vapor barrier in my mobile home. David was more than fair in pricing. David ** and his crew were very professional and went above and beyond in making the job great. Very happy with their work. If you need an Insulation job, you will not be disappointed. Highly Recommended!

      Porch.com scamming both general contractors and customers. 99% of their leads are fake. Customers also are annoyed by calls coming from a bunch of contractors. When you call their office, even the employees would tell you not to rely on the contact information.

      We booked a shower door install online at porch.com two weeks ago. Exchanged several text messages confirming appointment and were given the installer's name Richard and phone #**. The appointment was for 09/17/24 at 9:00AM. We received a Text on 09/16/24 confirming appointment and requesting credit card info. This was provided. The installer never showed up. We called the main #, ** and the installer #, ** and both go to a recording asking for the phone # associated with the job. When entered it state that the number is not recognized and the line disconnects. I was able to determine that the ** number is an unlisted number which is odd for a business and the ** is a landline number listed to a female in Dallas, TX.

      I have used Porch when they were newer back about 6 yrs ago. And they were pretty good about being reasonable. However, as they grew they became less reasonable and more legalistic. So I stopped using them for a while. I give them another try after leaving for 2-3 yrs this season. I started with their pay as you go lead opportunities. Sadly the quality was not great, so testing the waters was not good. NO ROI. Porch has a auto refund policy which is good. However life doesn't go according to policies, does it. I left them over a lead denial. Policy is 2 calls 2 text within 72 hrs. That's fine. I called 3 times and was within 10 mins over the 72hrs to send the next text. Now mind you this was either way a unresponsive lead. Porch knew this. I asked that they be reasonable about their intention of the policy. They want their contractors to make an effort, no problem! I agree.

      However this is where the Integrity of a company (or the tires met the road so to speak) shows in their actions. They're unwilling to be reasonable which shows me they're more concerned about their bottom line than our relationship as a customer. I left them due to their lack of Integrity they showed me today. This is the very issue when Porch becomes so large and so corporate, like the Home Advisors out there. I don't have time to chase supervisors or go up the chain of command over something that should be simple for them to take care of. I wouldn't recommend at this time.

      Called 17 times. Got an agent twice and was hung up on both times. I asked them to correct invalid and incorrect information on my business name. I had one single review with 5 stars. Porch website said I had two reviews for three stars. I did have one inaccuracy removed several years ago. The Bing site showed I had 1.5 stars -- with one single 5-star rating. These people should be sued, they are horrible. If anyone wants to do class action count me in.
