Angi.com Reviews

I used an angi recommendation for lawn service and I was very satisfied with the company I chose based on the reviews on angi

I am a paving contractor that’s here to tell you to Beware. At the end of November I decided to give this company a try. I paid $350.00 for a month to see what type of leads I might get. I got repeated emails and texted messages from one of Angi employees telling me you need to do this and that Right Now, and it would happen all hours and weekends etc. The few leads I got would never call, text or email me back.

I decided by the middle of December that it wasn’t what I was looking for, so I called multiple people repeatedly along with multiple emails stating I was canceling. The other day I get a notification that they billed me $350. again. I spoke to a customer service representative and they said they would cancel everything. Well yesterday they informed me that I signed a contract for a year. When I never signed anything or agree verbally to one. I only agreed they could do a background check and I didn’t even hear back on that.

My life partner, a skilled carpenter, signed up with Angi last July, but I found out and immediately shut the deal down. When the outfit belonged to Angie Hicks and her co-founder, it was a really cool service. Since the 2021 change to Angi, Inc., a subsidiary of HomeAdvisor, the whole thing has gone to hell in a handbasket. In 2022 the FTC got involved and filed a $7.2 million ruling in January 2023, but it appears the beat goes on.

File your 2023 complaints with the FTC to show non-compliance. It's really easy and without your filing, the FTC will not know of the extent of the continued bad practices.

Looked for cleaning company and received a phone call to book with Angi. Was told the price and if I subscribed I would get a 20% discount. So I decided to book and was told the line was "secure" to give my CC information. That night there were charges for over $500 worth of stuff in a state I do not live in and was not at. My house cleaner was supposed to be here at 9 am and never showed never called never returned my text. I chatted with Angi and they said they could not do anything for me basically. Did not understand what I wanted or what I was saying. Their agent stole my cc information and their "PRO" never showed up. This service they offer is a giant scam and needs to be looked into.

I had a very bad experience with the company Angi referred to us.

It was leaf filter and after paying them $4850, every job the did is falling apart and furthermore leaf filter damaged my Mercedes Benz SUV windshield, hood and fender($4000), leaf filter is refusing to pay for the damges done and Angie is still doing referrals for them.

I have to warn you that Angis's list is not a reliable source to find a professional service provider. In my experience, it appears to be a scam. The representatives are trained to be friendly and sell an annual membership. However, there is no guarantee that they will match you with a qualified professional. I will be contacting the BBB regarding my concerns. Also, please review other BBB complaints regarding this agency before attempting to subscribe to their services.

I was recommended a "matching pro" on Angi.com. The contractor ultimately is refusing to refund me my deposit. The contractor has done zero... no work and I have totally lost trust in the company.

But when I contacted Angi.com to leave a review. They didn't care at all nor let me review a company they recommended to me.

This company preys on all of their contractors. A customer will need something done and they will contact up to 5 contractors. Angi will charge a fee to up to 5 contractors and only 1 may get the job. In my case I paid $836 for leads from Angi and 80 % never even responded to the initial contact and 10 % wanted same day service even though my profile says I do not offer same day service. If you are a contractor do not sign up to use therm. If you are a customer needing work do not support a company that at minimum is a very very bad company.

User's recommendation: Do Not use this service

The first week of June 2023 we verbally agreed to give Clean Image Pool LLC an opportunity to service our pool . We prepaid 4 weeks of service. They were great for 2 weeks, late the third, didn’t show the fourth. The excuses were extreme: an employee stole a truck and disappeared, an owner had heart surgery. We asked them not to come back after the initial month and they sent us hundreds in additional billings fraudulently. We DO NO RECOMMEND.

Angi quoted (and charged me) $715 for some drywall repair. Contractor arrived on scheduled day, looked at the job and said he couldn't do the work for the quoted price and it would be an additional $700.

Sounds like the typical bait and switch to me. Contractor could do the job that day as the work was more than Angi indicated. Told him not to bother coming back and cancelled with Angi.

So, I pondered whether or not to post about this, but Angi's Handyman services aggravated me. I paid the $29 for their Handyman Service since we needed a job done in the new house. I thought I could trust Angi. I was wrong.

The first guy Angi sent was four hours late and didn't own any tools with which to complete the job. I canceled that guy, but he was a jewel compared to the second "handyman" they sent to me.

This guy ripped me off of $1125 and semi-built the project. It wasn't level, it wasn't up to code, and the guy tried to get me to pay him for his "travel time" FROM TENNESSEE. I fired him when he was 2/3 "finished" with the job, which had to be torn down and restarted. I looked him up on google, and he has quite a history. Not the good kind, either.

When I called Angi, the person there told me there had been major complaints against that "handyman," and that he had been referred to the hiring department to be terminated with Angi. Yet, ANGI SENT HIM TO ME ANYWAY.

Long story short, I got my $29 back from Angi because their lack of vetting their "handymen" cost me twice as much as this little job should have ever cost. The guy from Angi actually tried to get me to stay by offering 20% off of my next project. I told him that there was no chance in hell of there ever being a "next project" that would include any help from Angi or any of her "handymen."

Supposedly, according the Angi representative, the second "handyman" will be barred from working for Angi anymore. They probably told the clients who complained before me the exact same thing.

My point? Don't use Angi Handyman. They hire conmen and have no idea whether or not their people have actual carpentry skills...or their own tools. If I could give zero stars, I would,

went to Angi/Angi's List to hire someone to fix my door. When the pro came he measured etc. Got the deposit and went to Home Depot. He texted me and said the door wasnt in stock and had to be ordered that it would be in after 3 days. This is standard. Well I tried to contact him numerous times after 5 days and no answer. I then tried to contact Angi without any answer!! I sent email after email to numerous addresses. I called. After over 1 1/2 weeks of emails I finally got one back wanting more info. I sent all the info I had including all of the texts and copy of the cashed check. After several weeks again I finally emailed them and got an email back saying sorry...We arent doing anything for you!! So just what does Angi do? They obviously dont check out people that they send out to houses! They advertise that they are trustworthy etc. Be careful using Angi if you want any work do or if you dont want scammed out of your hard earned money. Next stop is the police !!!!!

i am writing this review about myron heggood of heggood stump grinding and lawncare llc. did an outstanding job for me am very pleased with the workmanship.

Angi allows people to post negative reviews about companies without any verification. People claim to be customers, they post bad reviews for other people, and I even saw one star review because the person didn't get a call back. SHAME ON ANGI for not screening reviews better.

I would super like to contact the Angi, "guaranteed", "Key" vendor that blew me off.

Multiple phone calls, made an appointment, he called me 1 hour before to confirm the appointment... and was never heard from again.

Way to go Angi.

Please do not direct any of your "trusted", guaranteed", "Key vendors" my way again.

Please, stop texting, and filling my mailbox telling me how excellent you are.

Beware ..I was using them as a service pro with a 4.9 star level and they only sent me scams..When I asked to be credited or for something to be done sorry cant help you its just the way it is but..

You still have to pay the rest of your contract.. It does not matter that we have sent you anything but scams for the last 8 months...You still have to pay....It does not matter how many customers tell you that you aren't on the angis list of pros until the 5th page...

No matter how good your ratings are ..You still have to pay....They are money.. Money ..Money and no results....Do not use them ...They are not what they used to be a dont care about anything but money

I contracted through Angi to have my driveway plowed and salted. The job was scheduled and I got a job number, That was three days ago and no one has showed up yet. I think that whole thing was some kind of SCAM. I had to pay before the job was scheduled and I don't thing Ill ever see that money again.

Do not register/subscribe. I unsubscribed several times and I still continue to receive nuisance offers by email.

ANGI is a fraud. Do not use. They insisted I pay up front and sent a sketchy contractor who could not do the work. They refused to give me a refund and claimed I would have a credit. When I tried to book them for something else, they claimed I had to pay again. Do not use, they are a ponzi scheme.

I signed up for someone to clean my house. Following the prompts I downloaded the Angi app. I was asked for the same info I had already entered, but went ahead and entered the info again. Somehow this created two accounts for me and booked two cleaners.

Only one showed up on my app so I didn't realize two appointments had been booked until I received a text at. 9:16am stating my cleaner would arrive at 11am. I contacted Angi to cancel this duplicate appointment but was told that since I didn't give a two hour notice I would be charged the entire cleaning fee even though I wasn't given a two hour notice that I had a cleaner coming.

When I asked why I was not notified of who was coming and when I was told when you have two accounts you only get notices on one.

Bottom line, Angi appears to be a borderline scam operation.
