HomeAdvisor (Powered by Angi)

Had a great experience with Amy settler that helped clean my aunts house during the holidays when my aunt was not doing well. She even went above cleaning by helping her with putting away her groceries. We couldn't be happier and thankful for her.

Recently, HomeAdvisor has given me better leafs than the two other similar services that I regularly use. As both a homeowner and landlord, having access to these kinds of services is definitely a benefit when my neighbors are not able to recommend repair services.

Contacted Home Advisor for help on a clothes dryer. Was told Ii would get 4 replies. Got one. When called the Quote price was increased and for two hours of work with no guarantee the dryer would be repaired in that time. When pressed they said thequotet only covered labor as all parts were extra. So much for fixed price. This service is a scam. Don't waste your time.

Home Advisor Powered by Angi is more complicated than Home Advisor was. There are more steps and I'm not sure what step of the process I'm in at any given time. I got multiple emails about booking my project after I had chosen a vendor (who responded very quickly, and the work was completed. I don't like getting an estimate on the job without speaking with anyone. It's too easy for something to be lost in the process.

Here's my awful experience.
- I booked a handyman to install a couple of bathroom sink faucets three days in advance. He cancelled two hours before the booking time and the best HomeAdvisor could do initially is send someone else out 4 days later.
- After 45 minutes on the phone with customer service, they booked another handyman for Monday. As it turned out, the fellow that showed up admitted that he really didn't know much about plumbing and was not able to complete the job.
- They then recommended a plumbing company who showed up on Wednesday and they wanted $1100 to do the job or $400 an hour!
I live in suburban Philadelphia, not New York City, so the location is not a cost factor.

Adam Corolla should drop this company like a hot cake. He is the spokesman for an organization that has essentially established a sales and marketing machine designed specifically to rape the everyday hardworking contractor. I used the service sparingly. More time was spent fighting with their agents then benefitting from any of the "services" that they provide. I bailed when their app released a string of old leads that I could not follow up on -essentially they stole 500.00 from me. Bottom line: the "leads" are not qualified; the leads are expensive; lead flow management is a game and you are guaranteed the loser; your phone will be spammed by their marketing texts; their agents are adversaries not customer service reps; you will not get your money back... ever... they made that very clear the last time I spoke with them on the phone. Also, they own Angie's list now so avoid that service as well.

Angi/ Home Advisor is a paid service so my review about them is below:
I am not as impressed with the options and responsiveness of all of the trade contacts. This project was related to electrical work, and I did get several responses. Other projects I have tried to price out in the past have fallen on deaf ears. No good responses or no-shows, or failure to follow up by the contractors.
A previous contractor I hired for some basic plumbing, work was sloppy and not thorough. Your responses are going to be all across-the-board from very poor and experienced, all the way to large companies.
I don't find the "estimated quote cost for a job to be accurate at all. My budgeting was based on that feature, which was 50% lower than the actual cost of getting the work done.

We hired a contractor for our kitchen through Home Advisor, They did shoddy work and didn't finish,
The tiles are uneven, poorly cut and some are falling off the wall. The cabinets were supposed to be custom but were actually stock cabinets from China. The workers didn't clean up as promised and didn't cover the floors or countertops while they worked. Now I will either finish and make repairs myself or pay someone else because after the contractor promised to return he hasn't. I paid him in good faith. He seemed concerned and actually said the salesman makes promises they can't keep. So, don't hire Integrated Design. I guess it is buyer beware.

When the pro I normally use was not available, I used Home Advisor to find another. It was an emergency project to satisfy the requirements of my HOA, which gave me only 8 business days to get it done. (They claim it's 15 days, but they count the time in the mail for their notification letter and they count weekends.) One drawback: After I hired someone, I kept getting calls, including one from a man who was quite irate--he said that there was supposed to be a notification when the job was no longer available.

I tried Angi / HomeAdvisor before but only got contractors that were realistically too far away. Who were non-responsive and there was never any follow up.

This time the experience was over-the-moon!

Doesnt get any easier. I called, Sue answered, and I felt right at home with her. She scheduled Matt to come and his ideas/suggestions were on target. The installers came and accessed the situation worked great together. Attention to detail, trained well. Reynolds should be proud of their ownership of this company. No need to shop around.

I am advisor recommended a company that was fraudulent and they have done nothing to protect anybody from this fraudulent company. Home advisor is a scam and they do not care about the consumers they are all about making money for themselves by these deceitful companies that cannot get business otherwise do not use home advisor unless you want to be ripped off

This site immediately sent listing of top 3 BBB companies to my email. Their service provided information I didn't know where to get. I hired a contractor in less than a week. Wonderful. Thank you so much.

Those is a conflict of interest for Angie homeadvisor to promote contractors that do not perform. I learned this the hard way for a contractor that Angie gave 5 stars who was one of the worst contractors I dealt with "Top Pools" in Katy Texas. Its been over a month and still they haven't showed up. We purchased the pool pump and they have it but have not made am appointment that they did not cancel with excuses.

Excuse #1 rain forecast

Excuse # 2 forgot some tools

Evxcikuse # 3 office forgot to schedule

I wouldn't trust Angie homeadvisor ratings for top pool services

Research and use other ratings like sitejabber.com that are more authentic and fair unbiased and look out for the consumer

If you are a small business owner make your self a favor and save your money! They are scammers, they send leads that never answer or reply, and when you try to cancel they transfer you to different people and make you wait on the line for hours until you give up! I called 3 time to cancel i never succeeded, I had to call my bank to stop the draining of my money! Thank God this is over is been a nightmare.
It's very sad how HomeAdvisor makes their money, taking advantage of small business owners

Absolute rip off. They charged my credit card for services never provided. So where didnthe money go? Check your credit card after you use their app. They just lost a very loyal customer. Never again. Should be ashamed of themselves for stealing from people who have supported them.

HomeAdvisor was easy to use. After explaining what our project involved we were provided with a list of professionals specific to our needs. Each company that we considered and reached out to immediately contacted us to discuss setting up a date and time suitable for us where they could come in and take a look at the project and give us a quote.

I had someone from Home Advisor to call me this morning (10/13). Was telling the e customer service rep (female) that I was no longer interested and already had the job done. She hung up before I could finish. Very rude. If I had to recommend based on their service, I would not but I was pleased with the company that came out.

HomeAdvisor makes believe to the home owner it's free to use. They don't say their charging the company they pick so if the homeowner isn't serious or list the work they want wrong or don't make any forum of contact like returning phone calls or emails they will not refund the money charges to company. Even if it's 100% justifiable the managers at homeadivior will tell you to keep harassing the homeowner basically. I'm speaking from first hand experience. That's completely wrong. They have stuck me with 800-1000 dollars in what they call non eligible credit in less than 6 months. They miss lead your customers and theirs.

I have come to realize this is one stop short of a scam. 1/3 of my leads were bogus with no valid phone numnbers or emails. The other 2/3 are worse than tire kickers. My Google Ads generates the same leads (many duplicates).

They say whatever it takes to get you signed up, claiming there is a tremendous amount of requests in your ares for your services, which you find out after signing up to be a lie, you can call them, however they dont offer serious assistance, when you try cancelling they give you a run around not to allow you, filled a complaint with credit card company, which they ignored, so got money back, they then threaten wiyh sending to collection agency, although by law they needed to respond to the credit card claim, does this sound like a honest or scam company? American Express confirmed that they have many complaints about HomeAdvisor, so for your own benefit, keep away, dont sign up with them!

Tried calling 7 or so local Septic tank pumping companies with no luck. Tried HomeAdvisor (for the first time) and entered my problem/info. Within 5 minutes I got a call from Panico Excavation who ended up being an awesome 5-star company! They solved the problem and were very professional and personable! Would recommend Panico Excavation and HomeAdvisor to anyone, great experience!

HomeAdvisor is not worth the money the contractors pay for leads. They are crooks and do nothing more than keep charging your credit card without permission. And when calling David in customer service to cancel account they want to give me more crappy leads that go no where and still will not reverse the charges that I never approved. STAY AWAY
