This gutter project was my first time use of HomeAdvisor. The experience was great, the phone app is easy to use and the contractor I hired through HomeAdvisor did a great job. I will use the phone app again and I'm sure.
Hi David, Thanks so much for sharing your positive experience! We're glad to hear you enjoyed our app and we look forward to working with you again. -HASupport
I have used their recommended contractors 3 times, and each time for home repairs or updates has been unequivocally without issue regarding the quality and price of the work completed. I continue to be amazed at the 100% perfect experience I have had with their recommended contractors.
Hi Michael, Thank you for your great review! We're happy to hear you've enjoyed your experiences with the three pros you've hired and we hope you get to work with you again in the future. -HASupport
I can't believe how easy this works. I scheduled a couple of appointments through HomeAdvisor. Home Advisor followed up with reminders and even with confirming that the company reps showed up. I don't think that it couldn't have been any easier or worked out any better. Bravo!
Hi Jim, We appreciate your great review and helpful feedback! -HASupport
The plumber was polite, punctual and very professional. Our toilet was clogged. The issue was resolved quickly and the price was very reasonable. On the second call, He worked very carefully doing delicate work to repair some old kitchen pipes under my sink. He explained that because of the age of the pipes they could crumble and need major repair underneath my house. He knew I was on a fixed income. He hoped to avoid that expense for me. He even had the parts he needed with him. He also shared as he worked that he had experience repairing pipes like mine before. They are copper dating back to the 1950's.
This is the first time I remember a plumber being concerned about doing more than necessary. And as he worked with obvious skill, I realized that I was really glad that he was not a new plumber just starting out. On another call last Winter, I awoke to frozen pipes. I was filled with dread, imagining the worst case scenario. I called him. He suggested I do a few things and call him back if it didn't do the trick. Oh my gosh, it worked! I called him back overwhelmed with gratitude. One evening I watched the evening news report a story that undermined the credibility Of HomeAdvisor with a few unhappy customers. The odds of a few bad experiences out of thousands of good ones is to be expected. As I watched I realized that I had called my plumber three times within a year and a half being extremely happy with each repair, and I hadn't written even one review.
I am more than grateful to have the help of HomeAdvisor and their service has always been free. On my budget I couldn't have paid for that too. They do everything they advertise making sure the repairmen are skilled and credible. This does take time. I know this because I used to own a busy hair salon. I always met with three plumbers to get estimates whenever we needed work. I had to do my own research on each one. Only the BBB was available to get background information. And being a female business owner was the same as going to a mechanic as a single mom. I got taken advantage of unless I asked a male friend to go with me.
I shared this last part because I wanted to illustrate how priceless an honest skilled craftsman is. I changed it from repairman to craftsman after I watched my plumber carefully create new pipe to connect to old copper pipe that had crumbled. I may feel stress over something in my home needing unexpected repair. But I don't feel stress wondering if someone is skilled or honest, and not trying to pad the bill with repairs that aren't necessary. I will always call HomeAdvisor for any type of home repair.
View moreI was out of town and discovered that I had water on my floor in the basement. So, I did not know who to call, and I remembered Home Advisor as a resource. So, I called and got the ball to rolling with quotes, and subsequently had someone to come out and repair the problem. It was an emergency and during the New Year's holiday weekend and everyone was off and closed. So, I contracted the plumbing company and they came and fixed the problem and got the water off the floor. Now, I will work with a mitigator to dry out my basement from the water in the walls. I will use Home Advisor for that problem as well. Hopefully, after the mitigator comes and dry out my basement, I should be back to normal in my basement. I am glad I rememebred to call Home Advisor to recitfy my home problem. I will continue to use Home Advisor for all my home needs and problems. They came through this time and I am most appreciative of their work and service.
My step dad had a front door in need of a new screen to keep outside kitties from getting in his home. Your service showed me 3 handymen services which I called and got answering machines on 2 and no answer on the third. The R&R Roofing Company received a call from your service letting them know I was in need of a handyman. While I was waiting for the others to call me back R&R called me to explain that they also offer handyman service and would be happy to come give me an estimate immediately. I accepted his estimate and the timeline I needed the work to be done was perfect.
The 2 other companies did respond to my calls, 1 does not work on weekends, the other text me a week later to find out if I would allow them to come out and give me an estimate. I have chosen not to call any of them again. Not Professional to not list hours of operation on your business or wait a week to text someone about work instead of calling them a couple of days to ask about the job needed. I appreciate the personal touch that R&R showed in calling me about the job and the way they present themselves on the job site.
View moreI am so grateful to HomeAdvisor. Before I found your site, I ended up with contractors that took advantage of me, for years. Avenue Outdoors (John) is THE BEST HomeAdvisor lawn company. My husband had third heart attack and bought new lawnmower. Wanted to mow lawn in 98 degree weather. The lawn had not been mowed, edged, weed/trimmed anything in awhile. I called Avenue Outdoors (John) this past Friday afternoon and got John right away. He offered to come that same day Friday after my work at 5PM in the heat and traffic. He also offered that he could meet Saturday morning and asked which was best for me. I said Saturday morning, would be best and if I was ok with everything , he would complete the mowing job. He kept in touch and let me know he was on his way.
The yard was a mess, he went above and beyond, and did extra. His price for his kind professional dedicated true concern and hardwork was very affordable and reasonable. Please do not waste your time looking at HomeAdvisor for other lawn people, do yourself a favor and have (John) Avenue Outdoors take care of your yard, etc, he is the greatest. I found he also plows snow, and does repairs.
View moreThe first contact was from a garage door repair company who informed me that they would not do work on windows. From a second request to HomeAdvisor, a glass and door company replied and set an appointment for 10 am next morning. Approximately 45 minutes after the appointment No One showed up. In trying to call the number for the company I was routed to a voice mail from HomeAdvisor. I called HomeAdvisor and asked to contact the contractor. I was 'patched through to the contractor,' but he could not hear me.
I looked up the contractor and phoned him directly. He stated that he had been in his truck yesterday and did not record the appointment; therefore, no one showed up. He dispatched an employee from another location who arrived 1 hour and 27 minutes after the appointed time. The employee did excellent work and completed the job. This is the third time that HomeAdvisor has put me in touch with a vendor who did not show up without several communications beyond the initial agreed upon appointment.

Pest Control - This is the first time that I used Home Advisor. I will use this website again for another project that I have planned. So far with just one try, it was a good experience. The website is easy to navigate.
Electrical work. Home Advisor recommended 4 companies to quote my small project. I received a call within the hour and got a quote for the job. They had such great customer service and the price seems reasonable so the company received my business. Great experience.
I needed a backflow valve to my sprinkler system repaired as the handles had rusted off. The plumber replaced the handle and got things working. His repair saved me about $1000 as that is what it would have cost me to replace the valve.
Using Home Advisor I was able to quickly find the right roof cleaner for my needs, for the right price. I was very pleased with the results. I will use Home Advisor again, to find a contractor to help me with my next project.
Air conditioner. I went on Home Advisor and checked the highest rated companies. After submitting what I needed I had a phone call with minutes and a text from another company. They were both very helpful and the problem was fixed the next day!!! I now have recommended Home Advisor to friends. I will use them again.
Roman replaced some sprinkler heads and got everything back in line. Very hard worker along with his wife and very pleasant to work with... I hit the jackpot with these fine folks. Roman ** owner... is also a handyman and I can't wait to find something for them to do so they can come back.
I didn't know what to do about my roof. It was starting to have so many missing shingles and it did not look good at all. When I saw an advertisement for a roofing company REMODELING MD. I decided to call them. Brian came to my home and explain to me in detail how insurance could potentially pay for the replacement of the roof. In less than 2 weeks I had a new roof and now my house is looking as sexy as ever!! Thank you REMODELING MD. Keep up the good work.
Sspring/fall clean up. Crew of three trimmed all bushes, trees and weeded. Added mulch to all shrub and flower beds. The tress were rather tall and they look great. Their attention to detail was especially good. The crew were very courteous, friendly and efficient. I plan to use their services again.
Cornerstone Ultimate Hard Surface Cleaning did a marvelous job in 'renewing' the above items. He was prompt, carefully explained what he could make like new and what he could not. I am extremely satisfied with his work.
Requested painting contractors. I made the request and within 30 minutes had call backs from various contractors. I was able to get quotes and found my painter that day. Did have one who did not return call. I had others call afterwards but all was arranged. Company chosen was professional all around.
Gutter cleaning and power washing - HomeAdvisor provided followup calls and emails to check on projects status and service. Offered phone support to give any assistance I may need. She said she would act as my concierge as the project progressed. She asked if I needed any more Pros to compare and had I received any communication from the ones already provided.
Roofing - Excellent job. His crew was efficient, hard-working, focused and thoughtful. They cleaned up the site after the job was complete. Rick Mott even came to the site after the crew departed to check out how they did. He brought a large magnet to sweep the area for any nails the crew might have missed. Mr. Mott is thoughtful, conscious of what the customer needs and how to fill that need. Rick is a genuinely good listener. HIs pricing was considerably lower than the other companies that bid the job. I highly recommend R J Mott Construction for your project.
When I checked with HomeAdvisor for a cleaning service, I was connected to the best service I have ever used. I would highly recommend Home Advisor when looking for a guide for services to use. I would definitely use them again without hesitation.
I went online to look for a company and within an hour two companies stopped by my house. Each gave me a bid and the job was finished that day. The finished product was great and above what I had expected. I have already hired the company for next year.
A/C yearly maintenance. Henry ** arrived on time and did a very thorough inspection including the temp of the air coming from the inside house ducts. Excellent overall service call. Will use Elite again in the future. Pricing was fair.
I was a little nervous about hiring someone I hadn't heard of but when none of the local electricians here called me back after numerous messages, I decided to try it. Glad I did. He returned my call immediately, set up an appointment at a convenient time and did a great job.
Looked for tree trimmers. Had a list of maybe 4 or 5 in the area but only one replied, CJ Lawn and Tree service. Think I would keep closer track of who actually replied when on the list and if they never reply, take them off Home Advisor.
My husband and I inquired to Home Advisor for a company to cut the limbs off of a tree. Immediately we were given a company. The company gave an estimate that we thought was good. Job was done perfectly. Haved used Home Advisor in the past. I have never been dissatisfied.
Pest/Bird Control and siding repair. Had two vendors contact me immediately after posting. One said they no longer performed the service but spent about 10 minutes talking about the issue and providing advice. The second vendor also responded quickly and immediately sent out a worker to give me an antimatter.
HomeAdvisor is ALWAYS my go-to site to find any contractor that I need. The site is very well organized with the appropriate contractors and distances popping up quickly and the reviews that are easy to find for each contractor. This 'trust cloud' system of reviews is fabulous because it is very difficult for the lay-person to feel comfortable with a contractor they don't know. They are a true blessing and many thanks!
R/R kitchen sink fast, clean, professional and I would definitely hire them for any future plumbing jobs I may encounter. Today there are too many fly-by-night outfits that would do a sloppy job and charge a fortune... not these guys. They are great.
Home Advisor helped us find an excellent Handyman service. We were initially put into contact with a few different companies that contacted us right away after receiving the referral from Home Advisor. We hired one that was highly recommended and they did a great job on the projects. We couldn't be happier!
Went to HomeAdvisor, after frustratingly trying to source and schedule a water heater replacement. The process was simple. The response time was amazing and the great recommendations were terrific. Quality of work and service provider was top notch. Will be my 'go-to site' for all home repair assistance.
I appreciate the easiness of finding the information and to connect with the pro services. The service was prompt and did not waste my time. I highly recommend using HomeAdvisor if you need help with around the house projects or care. Thank you!
Eric @ HomeAdvisor called and provided us with a few choices. Then set up an appt. for a free est. within a couple of days. Also provided us with names for another upcoming project. We were thrilled with the lawn sprinkler contractor he recommended.
