Angi (formerly Angie's List)

I used Angie's List many times but the new business model under Angie holds zero interest for me. They charged me $25 to act as an intermediary between themselves and contractors. I suppose this is OK for people with no experience working with contractors, but a big part of choosing who to use is developing the relationship. So, I'll never contact Angie again.

I'm a contractor through Angi Leads and it's been an uphill battle most of the way. The cost for leads is pretty high, averaging around $40. You can ask for credit if something prevents you from landing the job but good luck. Today I found out that if I receive a client, and get charged the fee automatically, and they immediately decide not to do the project anymore then I'm still in the hole that fee. I'm a new business owner and most of my charges hover between $100-$150, so removing $40-$50 from that automatically, hurts. Angi has been good for passively getting clients but that's it.

A. S.A. P Pressure Washing just did a terrific job cleaning our gutters. First cleaning since we bought our home.in Milton, VT three years ago They even repaired a downspout. Took about 2 hours. The owner London Wofford & his staff are friendly & very professional!. I recommend them to anyone in need of this service!

I booked well in advance for an eletrician to visit my business. At the time of booking, they indicated they had a pro available. In actuality, they didn't and rescheduled 30 minutes before the appointment. Contacted support and they kept changing their story. Please avoid using this company would be my advice.

Angie's appears to have become corrupted by money! Companies get to pay to remove bad reviews and hide their true character. Angie's enables this. As a result, you cannot wholesale believe what Angie's says or what's on their website. It requires you to do your own investigation on these people to find out if you are being lied to by Angie's. The Corruption is deep, as they would rather hide bad reviews than represent someone honestly. It's collusion and I won't use Angie's again! Fortunately, there are other ways to find good people! Angie's is corrupt and are crooks, liars, not a reputable organization, and it's getting worse!

Don't waste your time or money. I am a contractor $1200 into a annual contract. All the leads I've got have been bogus not one has turned into a job. You can't even get anybody to answer the phone all they do on customer services give you the runaround, posting this to hope that nobody else falls victim like I did it's funny how some people don't mind doing work that they can't even be proud of at the end of the day they basically get paid to lie to you

Recently contacted them for refrigerator repair. Took 5 days to get an appointment with "pro"
30 minutes before appointment, they ask to reschedule because "no pro" available. This is after speaking to the "pro" directly 10 minutes earlier.
Stay away, bad news, don't waste your time with this sham of a company

Please add comments from first part of review in addition to these comments. I requested extra projects to be done and they graciously accepted. They always explained things ahead of time. I didn't add photos because I didn't take "before " photos so there's nothing to compare. It was all top quality work‼ The clincher in this deal was that they gave me a set price which would not go up even if they had to do extra work or buy extra materials.

I hired an electrician for an outlet for my pool. Showed up 45 minutes late in a dodge charger,, than had to go get the parts. After another 1.5 hours of waiting I told him don't come back. He still did and said he felt threaten to start the job. I guess asking someone to do a job is threatening these days.

We were looking for some help to finish our outdoor shed. I looked on Angie's List for someone hear our zip code and emailed Alex. He responded immediately and came by the next day. Instead of just giving us an estimate he started working right away. After about 4 hours our shed was completed. He did great work and was very reasonable. The temps were in the high 80's and he was in full sun, but he worked nonstop. We highly recommend him!

I was willing to look past the confusing sign up process and the website/app that don't really have much functionality because getting my house cleaning scheduled when I wanted it was easy. That is, until it was cancelled less than 1 hour before the "professionals" were supposed to start work. Getting a qualified person here is the whole purpose of Angi and they could not do that. You'll notice in their email response that they don't guarantee much and require 48 hours notice for themselves.

Had my asphalt driveway replaced recently. My "finished" driveway is 4-6 inches below lawn level, about 4 inches narrower on each side. I was told it will "fill in" eventually. My old driveway was level with lawn in all areas. Unknown to me, workers moved a bunch of stuff around in my garage, which was okay since they were using equipment to finish asphalt. However, did not bother to return anything to original position. Shop around before using this company!

I chose to do a pay upfront plan and schedule two weeks out. On the day that the service was supposed to be provided, I stayed home, but no one showed. When I tried to call, I was put on terminal hold and then told I could leave my number and they will call me back. They finally called me back at 18:30 And who already charged my credit card by 17:00, even though nobody ever showed up. No call from the service provider. Nothing. VERY unprofessional. Done with this group!

Just as was said in another post, "Angie's List charges users for what other review sites provide free, with the suggestion that its reviews are thereby more reliable." If you decline to register, they still spam you with registration discounts. What a scam. You would think that this site would be a little more socially-minded.

First it is extremely hard to deal with their customer support team. Also when you receive a lead there may be 15 other people in your area that received the same lead. All of the people who received the lead pay for it. And the leads are way over priced. Terrible service I do not recommend using it. Thumbtack is better because the home owner calls you.

I used Angie's list when looking for some work to be done on my home. Went through all the steps for three different projects. For two of them, only one "contractor" responded, the other, two contractors responded. One contractor didn't want to come out to give a quote, they did it through email without ever seeing my home or what I wanted done. Not very professional. Another, an electrical contractor, showed up, took notes, said he'd have the quote by the end of the weekend, never heard back from him. For my third project, the first contractor only quoted a portion of the job. He acted like he didn't want to do the work. The other contractor was a bit abrasive, but at least I got a full quote. Angie's list called to follow up and when I relayed my experience, the rep stated they would send me a list of contractors right away in my email. I never got that email. It seems they are as reliable as their contractors. No surprise there.

I had a damaged tree from the recent severe weather causing it to tilt at a 45 degree angle. Martin Landscapes did an amazing job repairing the tree rather than replacing it thus saving me hundreds of dollars!
They were fast, efficient, punctual, and extremely professional.
I highly recommend Martin Landscapes.

I can not say enough how pleased i am with this company. I needed to replace some broken concrete on my sidewalk. They scheduled the work within 2 days. Crew arrived on time and everything was completed in a timely fashion and clean. If you're looking for a quality job at a reasonable cost, this is the company to choose. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful Team at Atomic Construction. Luke came out on a Monday and Pablo with Pedro installed the floor on Thursday. Left the home cleaner than when they started. Great guys very humble. As Luke stated, "we treat every job like it's the most important one on the schedule!" Please give Luke a call and let them help you with your project.

SCAM.

Not sure how this is still a legal business. They are acting out fraudulent business practices day in and day out and all of their employees know it. Their call center is in the Philippines somewhere and you get the runaround every time and they will keep charging your card for absolutely nothing. We had to have a fresh card made because of their fraud.

Deplorable and dishonest business practices and they've been doing it for 20+ years now. First under the business name ServiceMagic, now Homeadvisor/ Angi. Someone close these criminals down and throw the book at their CEO.

I had a water leak under my house (in Vancouver WA) where a water line feeds my refrigerator. Jess and Rob came out quickly to assess and to repair the leak. Fortunately, they came early enough to prevent serious damage to the flooring. They were fast, professional, and explained everything very well. I will be using them again the next time I need plumbing work and I recommend them highly.

We asked Angi for help finding a company to plant a large Date Palm in our back yard. Two strong guys from Art and Tree Landscape came out the next day after talking with them on the phone about our project and put our tree in the ground! It was a tough job, but they got it done and quick! They were professional and courteous. I would highly recommend them for any Landscaping job big or small.

Angie's was fast and easy to use. Thank you for allowing me to rate the experience that I had with Blain construction. This is a good tool to allow others to review the quality of their work while preparing to make remodeling plans
