HomeAdvisor Reviews

Totally failed when I signed up for siding. Rep called and insisted that she would enter my requirements for me, but she failed to correctly fill in requirements for Q 5, 8, 9. I had to call the contractor myself to cancel. HomeAdvisor needs a negative rating, but I can't get below 1. Creditcard in dispute.

Not worth spending my time with this review. It's not positive.

I had Lamb's Tree and Plant Health Care come and cut down a giant tree that was ready to fall on my neighbor's house. They came in, cut the tree so professionally and were gone in a couple of hours. They took all the brush and the tree away. I was worried about what they did to my lawn but they raked it and reseeded it. I would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking of having such a service done. His prices were great.

The owner, John and his assistant showed up in a timely manner and repaired my "on demand" water heater. I thought the price was acceptable, however, I did not get an estimate before they started.

Home Advisor and Angi who contracts with them should not be allowed to operate. I had 4 no show appointments and the 5th appointment I told them if someone didn't show, I was done.

So on the morning of the 5th appointment, the supposed contractor texted to say he was at my property. I told him I couldn't see him as there was no one at my property. I went outside and checked all the streets in my development but there were no cars or people on the street or in driveways.

Through a series of texts where the contractor refused to call me so we could talk by phone, the contractor proceeded to blame me, that I must have put the wrong address in when I made the request. I asked him to verify the address he was at and the cross streets but he did not respond.

Since I could see the service request on my Angi app, I knew it was the correct address. I called him three times and every time he answered but would not say anything. I asked him to describe the house, but also radio silence. I texted him the same. No response. I called Angi who I guess owns Home Advisor. The agent told me that since they could "geolocate" my contractor at "my address" that he must be there and therefore they were charging my card for the visit. I asked them to have the contractor call me. She said she could not do this because the contractor has no reception to call me.

Then I asked her to verify the cross streets where the contractor was and again she could not do this even though she was able to communicate by text with him. I asked her to have him meet me at a gas station near my house and she also said she could not do this. She said the best she could do was reduce the charge $100 and that the contractor was leaving the site.

I just checked and they charged my card the full amount ($283). I recorded the conversation and would love to start a class action suit against this company because this is fraud and obviously coordinated by the Angi and Home Advisor. The "contractor" was likely just a bot. Anyone else?

I submit requests to so called Pro through Home Advisor for Well Pump repair and replacement. Receive one call from "Pro" offering rip off all my system and install new one. Tried to submit review at HomeAdvisor but was not able to. That's it. Additionally I got 3 calls ... for roof replacement, basement waterproofing and landscaping. For me Home Advisor looks like scam.

Avoid Home advisor and Angi Leads. They take up to $182/day from your credit cards in exchange for a phone number "lead". Make unauthorized charges. Refuse to close honor paused lead requests. Can't cancel or receive refunds. Customer service acts helpless. Send you to collections for unauthorized charges.

I contracted East Ridge Fence, from Meyerstown, PA, to remove our current wood fence and install an aluminum fence to replace it. They arrived on time and worked diligently until the job was finished. They were very efficient and organized. Their standards were exacting and precise. Their price quote was fair and accurate. They completed the job leaving our property clean and neat. I would highly recommend them and would use them again for any project.

HomeAdvisor is an absolute scam. They take your money and never contact you or return your calls. Stay away from these crooks. What horrible business practice, make you pay to see a quote from a 3rd party than never provide the quote.

Well my experience with this company is a bad one. A contractor came out on July 27-supposed to return on July 31. He was a no call no show-tried his number-inactive and a text would not go through.

Ok, another pro was supposed to come out on August 12-waiting on them got a text due to a last minute pro call in not coming this day either. Rescheduled for August 15-no call no show.

I called the company and was told that contractor didn't feel they could do the work-can ya not pick up the phone to let me know so I'm not here waiting? 4 vacation days wasted. Supposed to come out August 18-yeah right. Oh but my credit card was billed-you can bet on that.

I hired a roofing contractor (Saving Grace Roofing) through Home Advisors whom they highly recommended. The contractor didn't do what was in the contract we signed. He put on a cheaper shingle than was contracted for and paid for. The is Breach of Contract and Fraud. He refused to admit that he did anything wrong. The ratings are not trustworthy. What I got was cheated and poor workmanship.

I hired a architect in Houston, Texas through Home Advisor, his company name is Y-Square Design, LLC and the first project he did for me was done in a timely manner, then I gave him another room addition project to do and give Mr. Yohan Yi a 50% deposit of $2,250.00 to start the drawings.

Everything was going great until I give him another room addition project to do and gave him another 50% deposit of $1,900.00 for this 2nd project, he did give me a copy of the 2 drawings to present to each of my 2 customers, then after I gave the drawings with the correction on each project he stopped answering my phone calls and e-mails.

I called Home Advisor customer support and they just keep sending me to several people and then they would just hang up the phone when I started complaining about this architect company, so I guess I will have to file suit against his company to get my money and file a complaint with BBB on his company and Home Advisor because they are both a scam.

All Home Advisor & Angie's List are concerned about is making their money not making the customer happy, this is Edward Lorenzo in Houston, Texas 07/07/2022.

Home Advisors (Angi) is a scam. In early June I was looking for a professional pool service to clean the black algae in our pool. The local pool supply store had advised me they knew of no professional pool service in our area which performs the service.

I went online to do a search, Home Advisors came up, I filled out the information required and they state that they do not charge until the work is performed and I should receive several offers to do the work.

I did not receive one offer to perform the service in over a month's time. A couple of days after the service was posted I received a call from my credit card company questioning if I had authorized the charge.

Since the work was NEVER performed and I had NO OFFERS to even perform the service I was surprised to hear Home Advisors had already charged for a service that I NEVER AUTHORIZED OR RECEIVED.

This morning I called Home Advisors to dispute the charge. What a surprise! They told me someone was scheduled to perform the work this morning at 9:00 AM even though no one has ever contacted me either by phone or email. They told me to call back after 9:00 AM if no one shows up. When Home Advisors originally contacted me, I was advised I should be able to choose from several offers.

I did a search for local contractors for a small fence project. I clicked on a link to a local company that served my area, but when I completed the information and submitted the quote request to the local contractor, it actually went through Home Advisor powered by Angi and I immediately started getting calls, which was exactly what I was trying to avoid.

Chingon Landscaping was referred to me by Home Advisor in November of 2021 to remove tree on my rental property. The owner, Ramiro "Randy" Vasques was paid $3,100 to do the work and as of today, June 22, 2022 the work has not been done with the exception of raking up some leaves from the yard and bagging it and they were never removed from the property.Home Advisor apparently does a poor job of vetting their contractors before putting them on their site. This contractor has been removed from the site now but it was necessary for me to file a lawsuit yesterday against the contractor.

Charging for services repeatedly for one project...

I am a licensed and insured GC & Master Plumber based in Park City, UT. Homeadvisor / ANGI misinforms clients of costs that they will be quoted and charged contractors a huge fee for receiving a text message.

Countless times I have heard customers say "Home Advisor says this project should cost $X"

The facts are home advisor may give the customer a one man handyman cost if the customer is acting as their own general contractor.

General Contractors charge a mark-up on all subs and materials to cover their overhead and job cost. They charge a management fee to make their own living. Use a licensed, insured professional to save you time and stress! MAKE SURE THEY ARE LICENSED AND INSURED!!!!

In the current state of the construction economy - if a contractor is getting work from home advisor, they most likely do not know how to run a business. Be aware customers - use local networking like facebook or nextdoor to see who your community is using for contractors.

Team Cheever Design Build

Bailey Bros plumbing ripped me off, they hooked my slop sinks water up back wards, left all trash. They drilled into the corner of my foundation with out a permit to install a sump pump. My toilet still doesn't work and I need to plunge after I do a number 2 every time.

He made me write the check to him ( Ray Charles Bailey ) and not his business name and he didn't give me a work order or a receipt for the work that was performed. He replace most of my plumbing on the opposite side of the basement. The concrete he poured is unleveled and he refuses to come back and fix everything.

He has threatened to kill me if I made any complaints. The last threat was on 4/24/22 he facetimed me and said if I didn't remove my bad review he was going to kill me and send his family after me. On 4/25/22 I filed a peace or and harassment charges against him. They are both active. Everyone beware of this guy who works in Harford County Maryland, Baltimore Maryland, Baltimore County, Baltimore City.

He has no real employees and he doesn't pull permits. So when or if you go to sell your house, your screwed and you will be fined by your local town government and half to repay to have it done again. This guy has a very dangerous record and if you look him up on Maryland judiciary case search, he has multiple assaults, child abuse, hate crimes, Counter fit Money and you name it. Everyone be ware.

If I had the option to rate zero, I would. Charged twice yesterday, charged twice today - I reported them to BBB.

My driveway and sidewalks were very dirty and stained--hadn't been pressure washed for several years. This man had all the equipment and supplies to do a very good job and continued working at it until it looked very good. Would definitely call him again.
