    My experience with Angi was very disappointing. I hired a contractor (Rapid Remodeling - Walter Franciso Baltodano) from Angi who I paid $5,500 as a deposit to tile my house. The contractor did not show up to do the work, and attempts to contact him have been futile - both my me and Angi's Complaints Department. Attempts for a resolution from Angi to get me back my money were a waste of time, as Angi has said they are not responsible. This contractor was flagged on an Angi-related website - Home Advisor - several months ago and had Angi done their research, they would have seen that this contractor had a police record. I will never use Angi again and would never recommend them to anyone.

    They do not pay the Contractors. Was guaranteed pay within 7 days. Still getting the runaround. I am writing this in reference to Smiths Painting & Handyman Services. Customer Service offers no help. To have this done right at Christmas is horrible. They should be ashamed.

    I purchased a toilet from Lowe's and paid for installation. They use Angi for their installations. An appointment was scheduled for the installation through Angi. The installer failed to show for the scheduled appointment nor made any attempt to communicate such.

    I would not recommend this service regardless of what project you are needing. This is an app platform based company. It's a great business module however, the technology is severely outdated. The app only works well if everything goes smoothly. You need to prepare for at least 2 hours if you need to contact customer support.

    I bought outdoor Govee lights from Sam's Club and also ordered installation through Sam's Club. This was a Christmas gift for my son and grandchildren. Sounds great, yes? Boy was I wrong. My initial date had an error with the address. I tried to contact the pro and Angi. After no response, I cancelled so I could start over. My cancellation went through but I was told I had a "credit". You can't reschedule through Angi's if you purchase through Sam's Club. It took me hours to actually speak to someone that would give me a refund (which, by the way is Sam's policy).

    My next date was to start at 7:00 pm. I sent the pro a chat message at 7:15. I called at 7:30. I gave up at 8:00 and sent a message through a chat feature on Angi's webpage. I reported an issue with the pro. He then responded that he wasn't coming and advised me to reschedule through the app. Well, rescheduling through the app isn't available. More hours were spent getting this rescheduled.

    My third date arrived. The pro showed up and had what essentially is a stepladder. A stepladder for installing permanent outdoor Govee lights. The pro told my son that the project description was wrong. He normally works on fencing. He also admitted that he did not like Angi either and this type of error wasn't uncommon. I attempted to chat yet again to request a refund. I spoke to someone three times and all three explained that they couldn't help me so were transferring. The transfers never went through. I waited over 15 minutes just in case, but nothing. Now keep in mind, when I chatted to reschedule, the transfers worked. Chatting to process a refund failed three times. So, now I'm forced to call. Each time I've called, the wait time is 70+ minutes.

    My perception of this company is that their technology has not updated since inception in 2016. They outsource their support call center and chat. The outsource company appears to only have limited people assigned to this company. Company in the red trying to reduce overhead or just grossly mismanaged is a mystery. Either way, it's not a company I would ever use again. On a totally separate note. I realize how much protection I had because I ordered through Sam's Club. I would have lost money if I had ordered directly through Angi.

    Angi does not vet the qualifications of contractors who sign on to do work. I was looking for someone to install a pool liner. The person who responded promised to do it in the next couple of days, without having measured the pool to order the liner. When I raised this to the contractor, he stopped responding after several emails. Another person just popped up in the text log and the texts with the first contractor disappeared.

    I purchased a freestanding pantry cabinet. It comes ready to assemble. I previously bought a smaller pantry and put it together myself. It was monstrous task and very difficult for one person. So I paid for assembly. I received notice that Angi would send a “professional” on December 8th. So I prepared the area by emptying the 2 smaller cabinets and moved them to their new location, on Thursday I received an email that my appointment had been cancelled. I was given an option to reschedule. I rescheduled for today and shortly before the appt I was again notified the appt had been cancelled. Obviously this job is low on their list. However this has caused my kitchen and den in disarray since Thursday. At this point I am going to cancel this job and request a refund from Wayfair.

    I call for services manager to disputed 8 leads, I call them instantly and they already have a contractor??? And few don't live there anymore, and they never request anything???? Others they are looking for a land. They're not homeowner???? I spoke services manager "Steve", and he said they can credit those leads because they're good leads. I told him how come and he say, "Well look, you have been with us many years and you have been making a lot of money," how he can tell me something like this, is not his problem if or not making money. This people are nasty. They don't know how to talk to people. Then I request to talk to the manager, and I couldn't because it takes up to 3 days to 3 weeks to call me, I feel I got rob big time. I have over 1,000 dollars there not lead the buying leads for 3rd party that's why when we call the homeowner, they have already a contractor. SCAM 100%.

    I certainly regret giving these people my information. I am being harassed by none English speaking people. They are not licensed or insured contractors. I simply wanted a price for a couple of loads of compost delivered. I have multiple text, emails & phone calls. I even had someone turn up, un-announced at my door then tried to browbeat me into using his services. I had to threaten him with calling the police to make him leave. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH YOUR INFORMATION. I AM PRETTY SURE THEY GATHER INFORMATION & SELL IT.

    Stay away from Angie’s List Professionals. Had an Angie’s list professional at my house on Friday, Sept 20, 2024 to assemble some furniture whom turned out to be a Professional Thief. Janie G Angie’s list employer stole $13,000 worth of jewelry, watches and Versace sunglasses. When he left my wife and I were missing $9K Rolex watches, 3500$ Diamond Earrings and $400 sunglasses. Angie’s list and Wayfair know his name (Janie G) and probably the Address.

    I submitted all the proof of owner ship and receipts (took me couple weeks to gather everything) along with police report, then Angie’s List tells me that my home insurance should be my primary source of compensation and then they’ll decide if they want to compensate me the rest. Angie’s List still hasn’t returned my stuff nor compensated me for it. Just know if their “professional” steals something or damages something in your house you’ll have to use your home insurance to make a claim.

    I haven’t had the best experience with Angi. I feel like I got swindled out of 750 bucks. A gentleman by the name of Arthur ** who works for the New York office called me out of the blue which I don’t know how he got my phone number. He offered me a promotion for 1,000 credits for 750 dollars and I didn’t want the service and finally I agreed to it. He told me that I can try out the service and if I wasn’t happy I can cancel and get a full refund. All of this happened 24 hours ago. When I called he directed me to call **. Melanie from customer service told me I could not get my money back. This place is a scam. I wouldn’t recommend anyone use Angi for leads.

    Made an appointment with Angi’s for blinds cleaning 11/23, 9am; Angi’s rescheduled for 11/25, 9am, without explanation. It is now 11:18 am, the designated person didn’t show! After spending time trying to fill out form on the computer to submit this situation and speaking with an agent, before I got cut off, my only solution is write a review! There’s really no review, they didn’t show! Thankfully my funds were refunded after the first no show! Moved on from Angi’s after wasting my time!

    I would not use again. The "pro" didn't arrive on time. After numerous texts, he wanted to come 6 hrs. later. I rescheduled for the next day and he was 1.5 hours late. He had no attention to detail, leaving assembly stickers on the item. The app marks your job as complete once the arrival time passes whether they have actually completed the job or not. The pro reviews are only a star system with no details.

    Purchased furniture assembly from Wayfair to have assembly completed. Fairly pricey and they contractor through Angi. Wayfair stated they would complete the assembly and that there were no time limits. Two Angi pros showed up to do the work and stated they only had two hours to work on the furniture. Left after two hours and did not complete the job. Wanted to charge me an additional fee to complete the service. Appears to be a scam leaving you with a project to do after you already paid money for the service.

    We had a very frustrating experience with Angie’s. We contacted their support team two hours before our scheduled appointment time because we hadn’t heard from the pro assigned to our job. We had already moved all of our furniture out of the living room in preparation for the sectional setup. When we reached out, the representative assured us that someone would still be arriving at the arranged time of 7:30 PM and there was nothing to worry about.

    However, just 12 minutes before the appointment, we received an email stating that the pro couldn’t make it and that our new appointment would be in 5 days to complete the setup. This lack of communication and last-minute cancellation was extremely inconvenient, especially after we had already gone through the trouble of preparing the space. We expected much better service and professionalism.

    I had no idea that once I filled in my info that I would get deluged with calls, texts, and emails from different vendors who wanted to help me. It because junk and I would say that there were between 30-40 people trying to contact me within 24 hours. That's toooooo much. I was just hoping that ANGI would just offer a list of quality vendors and some reviews. I didn't want everyone trying to contact me from as far as 50 miles away. I won't use ANGI again. I gave them 2 stars because maybe somebody else wants that kind of service. For me it turned me off completely.

    Angi severely damaged my granite countertop by scratching during a normal cleaning job and then refused to refund me for the re-honing job that was required. We were out of the home at the time, and by the time we came back and noticed, it was beyond the 72 hours that Angi's small-print policies allow for damage claims, so they outright rejected to pay anything. So I'm out over $1000. I'm angry and out of money. Never use Angi for anything!! You've been warned.

    I ordered a entertainment center from Wayfair and opted to have Angie put it together as we were moving into a new home and I had so many other things to do. The unit consisted of 3 pieces and a team (2) arrived promptly and began work. They finished 2 of the pieces and told me they had to leave as they had another appointment but would come back and finish. They texted me that they were on their way, but never arrived. I texted them, got no answer, and even called finding I was blocked? I tried again the next day and got nothing. I started looking at what it would take to finish the assembly myself and found that the shelves in the large center cabinet were not level.

    After investigating further I discovered that the center vertical panel was installed upside down so the shelf holes did not line up. To correct it I would have to remove the backboard which was nailed which would undoubtedly destroy it. I called Wayfair and spoke with their supplier who sent me a new backboard so I could correct the problem. As I disassembled the piece I further discovered that the assembly team had realized their mistake as they had also bypassed using the preinstalled holes, which also didn't align properly, for the door hinges and had drilled their own. In other words, they knew that to correct their mistake they would have to destroy the backboard but rather than admit to it, they decided to just run. I've tried going through Angie for a refund but have gotten nowhere as they have been completely unhelpful. I would not recommend them to anyone.

    I was using their service to have my parents' lawn cut. The service was for cutting the lawn, weeding, edging and 3 bushes trimmed. The first guy came out and cut the grass and then proceeded to tell me to just hire him and he would so the rest for over $500.00. He asked for the money in cash. I called and told a customer representative at Angie and they booked another contractor. This one was so good and kind, however after having Angie for about a month I noticed money coming out more frequently without any services.

    When I called to let them know the customer service person, who I don't believe understood English, stated I would be reimbursed. The money never was returned. When I saw the money coming back out again I called again and the 2nd customer service person, again someone who couldn't speak English, told me that she would put the money back.
