"They won't stop calling me. HomeAdvisor is an evil con artist corporation from Colorado. If they call me one more time, I'm going to press harassment charges against these Coloradan scumbags."
"Sign up and you will pay for bogus leads and then get sent to collections when you cancel. Worst experience I have ever had. Their reviews on Google are fake. If you read their reviews all other sites, you'll see how much they are disliked for their horrible business practices.
"
"All you get is leads that either go to a voicemail or cannot even get through to a voicemail.
People you do get ahold try to blackmail you for a better review. Terrible place to get good customers."
"Everyone, do not use HomeAdvisor for your services! They send the leads to everyone and they charge everyone for it! I have been charged over $300 for not even using a service once! I tried to call them many times to cancel my services and wanted to get my money back- no one answered my calls, finally after 4-5 days of calling them someone picked up, it’s been almost two weeks from then, my account is finally suspended due to non payment.. Worst customer service you can ever get, "
"Gave me a price, set appointment date, charged credit card,was told someone had to accept the offer! No-one called. Questioned Customer service, transferred to 5-6 agents. Cancelled transaction before money was released and cancelled. Stay away and call local contractors yourself. Reputable contractors do not charge you before the job is completed!"
"Waste of time and money , "
"New to the Dunedin FL area & needing a water heater repair my girl friend insisted on using Home Advisor. I had never used them before. What a mistake. Home adviser contractors are vultures. None would give an estimate over the phone. I made appointment with two plumbers. the 1st one Haske Plumbing cancelled & the second Cass Plumbing showed up late. BEWARE; CASS PLUMBING IS A HUGE RIPOFF!!! STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!! And for that matter STAY AWAY FROM HOME ADVISOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Sent me bunch of leads not related to my business, called them, didn't want to give me my money back, they issue credits that I never saw, canceled after they took more that $3,000 and 0 business for me."
"They are horrible, do not do business with them, they are horrible in every way possible. "
"Hire a tree service called canfield bros xtreme tree service through home advisor. Bunch of punks who tore up my yard and messed up a good tree by dropping a branch on it. If this is what home advisor deems as a professional than I'll take my business elsewhere. "
"HomeAdvisor is the Enron of our generation. Stay far away from this scam. Don't believe anything their people tell you. Nearly everything that comes out of their mouths is a lie. Scam!"
"Bad leads, no refunds, website errors, POOR customer service, no call backs and lots of cancellations but they STILL get your money!! STAY AWAY! THEY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN! what they are doing is ILLEGAL; stealing and falsely marketing their products, in addition to charging for services NOT USED!!!!!!! We are a small family-owned company and i have NEVER had such bad experience with a vendor since our company has been open in 1989!!!"
"I have had 2 shocking experiences with Home Adviser. I tried to leave negative reviews detailing my experience. I've had no issues posting positive reviews in the past, for services I have hired through the site. They will not allow me to leave a negative review, they allow positive reviews only. Will never use their site again, knowing the review system is rigged. Their positive site reviews certainly influenced me to hire these particular contractors. This is unethical, deceptive behavior. The plumbers I hired for a $6500 job demanded payment prior to job completion, hounded me daily and refused to complete the job until full payment was made. Once payment was made, they left without completing the job. I hired them in the past for small jobs without issues and left several 5 star reviews for this company, who I realize were buttering me up for a large job. I never obtained the camera proof that there was even an issue, as promised by the contractor, who refuses to answer his phone since being paid. Can't even remove the positive reviews I left for this company previously. This is the base of my brand new toilet! I'd post a video if I could, to demonstrate how the toilet bounces up and down. This is not to mention the shady floor contractors they sent my way. Will never use Home Adviser again. They have cost me thousands and still refuse to publish my honest negative reviews, only the positive reviews. Oh, and avoid L&B Plumbing and ALD flooring, both based in Nashville TN. Neither of these Home Adviser approved companies will honor their word once they have your money."
"Pros (and even consumers) - Stay away from this service. You get no real leads. They give leads to several pros at different times so by the time you call the prospective customer, they have already booked with someone else. We got several false leads. Consumers are confused about the companies process. We had an awful experience & wasted way too much money on them. "
"Awful experience. 20 phone calls at the beginning, to earn my business. After they got my credit card, they sent me "leads" and charged me automatically. None of the leads answered my call. Some of them said they were not looking for any service. Don't waste your time and money with Home Advisors. You will feel like you are giving your money away. "
