"cleared a quarter acre of dense brush and trees"
"Home advisor put me in contact with a company who could clean out an apartment full of stuff, after the resident died. I was handling this remotely and they placed me with someone who could get the job done for me. I did not even know there were folks out there who could help me out with this project. Therefore, I was very grateful for the connection to someone who could do the job and provide the service that I receivevd."
"They reccomend very good honest compay/workers"
"They gave me a great company to do business with in our area"
"I was able to book a professional to securely and safely hang a TV without hassle."
"Great customer service and fast!"
"Since moving to my current address HomeAdvisor has rarely connected me with professionals in this area. Apparently since my phone has a 210 area code it tries to match professionals from the San Antonio area which is 300 miles away. "
"Yard cleanup... leaf removal "
"Home Advisor made it so easy to find the perfect company for my job. All I did was click on my phone and the companies called me! The first company that reached out was perfect and offered same day service. "
"I was able to connect with the right establishment for the job I needed done. The recommended company was professional, prompt and efficient in estimate and service, with satisfactory results."
"Got a call right away from one of your registered companies. They were on the job right away and did excellent work."
"Home Advisor can be trusted to provide names of established, professional companies who will give good customer service and quality service to homeowners undertaking remodeling projects. We were pleased with the number of companies as well as their quality from which we could choose!"
"Gave very good options for local contractors "
"Had two quotes that were comparable. Job was done as planned "
"After submitting my request through HomeAdvisor. It was a couple of weeks before I ever heard from anyone. The first person I heard from was not a contractor, it was a representative from HomeAdvisor asking if my project had been completed. At that point, it had not been completed. I hadn't even heard from the first contractor yet. Even after the HomeAdvisor Representative called me, it was still almost another week before I heard from a contractor. When I was contacted by the contractor, I asked him why he thought it took so long and his answer explained why it took so long. Apparently, contractors are charged for our information and if the job being requested is a low priced job, contractors will oftentimes not pay for the information because it's simply not worth it. Seeing as contractors have to account for the cost of buying information, that cost can be reflected and/or factored into the cost of the job being requested just so the company or individual completing the job isn't taking it as a loss. I believe that system can be restructured to encourage more companies to reach out to potential customers so customers aren't stuck waiting around for a phone call or email. "
