"Had a plumbing back up in my renters apartment, got on line on a Saturday and Homeadviser found a plumber. He did work that was not necessary to up the bill. The Bottom line is he charged $700 to unclog the drain. Never again!

"The installation of the irrigation system by Dennis Yates went quite well except it was not completed. He said he would come back in September to finish the insulation on the PVB and explain how to winterize the system. I sent several emails and made several calls with no reply. I would not contact him again."

"They threatened us. The police are involved."

"We have used Homeadvisor for 4 years now and spent over $50k with them. We used to get some good leads in, so we took the bad with the good. We are a demolition and mitigation company in Texas. They don't really seem to care about working with you, or improving their system. For instance, whether we are getting a full house demo, or a 6'x10' brick wall, we get charged $90. Also, we get denied credit on so many leads that are obviously wrong.

1. Someone asked to have a home tested for radon, but they meant a natural gas leak. Obvious credit denied.
2. Someone asked for a radon mitigation in Tennessee! We are in Texas and they denied credit.
3. The same company has sent multiple leads that have cost us $90 every time and it's an obvious competitor, but they deny credit every time.
4. Multiple times where people who don't own the property, are asking just to see - credit denied every time.

This is just the most recent credit denials. The fact that they denied a credit for a job across the country, lead me to send this review.

When we originally started with them, we were getting solid, valid leads. I would think the longer you are with a company, the better they would treat you, but it seems the opposite with Homeadvisor.

What's more upsetting, we are a reputable company, that gives fair pricing and does a good job, but Homeadvisor let's basically anyone come on as a "Pro". "

"I am a new small business owner and i was referred to them. Being a new customer i feel as though they took advantage of me , billed me for leads i never accepted or contacted, in the end i terminated my membership and they said i still owed the $600+ dollars after i refused to pay them they sent my account to collections. I cannot believe it! I had to pay it in the end of course they are SCAMMERS!!! BEWARE. "

"Winston, Oregon. Referred a "construction" specialist to me who was an absolute failure. Tried to leave me hanging halfway through the job !! Hardly knowledgeable and pretty lame dude shows up with no tools...WTF ???"

"Marijuana consumption is rampant in this company. HomeAdvisor is a company of very despicable and shady people."

"Beware of signing up for HomeAdvisor! They con you into signing up by making you believe it is a great way to advertise your business and find jobs. Truth is they just want your money. They send you leads and charge you outrageous amounts for very small jobs that aren’t even a guarantee. Especially not good for small businesses! Or for any business of that matter!"

"HomeAdvisor rep called my business line relentlessly for a couple months pretending to be a customer. Calls came in from them from several states. I finally gave in when they told me there was no recurring charges just $300 pr yr and I would get advertising on their site for that amount. I charged the $300 to a card and overnight they charged an additional $280 for “leads”. I canceled appointments the next day to get online and stop this craziness- lost work!! I canceled everything online. When the retention specialist called me back she said I was set up wrong and that she would walk me through how to set up my business profile ant credited me back the $280 they took. She said she would call me the next day- 2 weeks later my “lead pause” ran out and there was no contact from anyone. I canceled again. THEN I got a call back with more promises. I told them that they were nothing but scammers and that I try to keep costs down for my customers in rural America and they had done nothing but cost me money. I told them that THEY are what’s wrong with this world today and that I choose only honest people to do business with. $300 is a lot of money to me and it was an expensive lesson to learn but DO NOT DO BUSINESS with these people! They will rip you off, clog up your business line, reach into your pocket, and cost you time that you could be working/getting jobs. Keith - K.D. Construction/Excavation. "

"Don't believe anything these scammers tell you. Everything that Adam Burckhard says is a lie. He lies straight to your face. The guy will steal, lie, cheat, anything for a buck. He only wants to scam you and get his commission. That is all he cares about."

"I needed some drywall repaired so I contacted HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor charged me $430 to send out 3 contractors. The first 2 contractors were very shady and unprofessional carpet cleaners - totally wrong type of contractors. The 3rd contractor they sent me was actually a house burglar with a criminal record. The night after he visited my house, I caught him on my home security cameras scoping my house and walking around my back yard. I don't know what kind of "screening" HomeAdvisor does, but clearly they are doing false advertising and I'm going to stear clear of HomeAdvisor from now on. Only use HomeAdvisor if you want your house robbed by the lowest and shadiest home contractors out there."

"Got a call from a representative. When I told him I was not interested at the moment he became aggressive and rude. He asked why I wasn’t interested and I politely told him and he became even more hostile and hung up on me. "

"This is unambiguously the worst and sleaziest company I've ever dealt with. Absolutely abysmal. Stay away. Do not sign up as a HA "pro." DON'T DO IT "
