How does HomeAdvisor work?
Using HomeAdvisor's site, you can search for local contractors for multiple types of home repairs or home services. HomeAdvisor prescreens each company and its owner to ensure proper licensing and customer satisfaction.
HomeAdvisor matches you with a contractor by guiding you through a series of questions and providing you with quotes from qualified local contractors. You can also book a fixed-price service immediately online. Alternatively, you can use the search bar to search for a local page for your area and see a list of companies. HomeAdvisor provides a snapshot of each company with relevant information such as services, reviews and phone numbers.
As you compare options, you can directly reach out to HomeAdvisor by phone or live chat.
If you’re not yet ready to contact a local professional, read through some of HomeAdvisor’s articles about the topic you’re searching. The company’s “Resource Center” section of its website contains a library of information about home services and projects.
HomeAdvisor cost
HomeAdvisor is completely free to use for homeowners searching for information about contractors and professionals in their area. There is no obligation to book a service if you choose to receive quotes.
For contractors who want to promote their business using the platform, HomeAdvisor charges a membership fee of around $300 per year, plus additional fees per lead (anywhere between $15 to $60). The exact cost depends on the business’s location and industry. This price per lead is charged even if the lead doesn’t turn into a customer.
HomeAdvisor FAQ
How much does it cost to be on HomeAdvisor?
Companies pay to be featured on HomeAdvisor. They pay a membership fee and a price per lead that varies depending on industry and location. Homeowners who are searching for a professional do not need to pay.
Is HomeAdvisor trustworthy?
For the most part, bad reviews are typically specific to contractors, not homeowners. HomeAdvisor prescreens each business on its site and shows ratings and reviews from previous customers. The company has handled over 100 million service requests, according to its website.
Is HomeAdvisor worth using?
Yes. Because it’s a free site, HomeAdvisor is a great way to start your search when looking for contractors. Of course, always ask friends and family for recommendations and advice as well.
Is HomeAdvisor free?
HomeAdvisor is free for homeowners to use. It does charge contractors who want to be featured on the site.
Is HomeAdvisor legit?
Using HomeAdvisor is a good way for homeowners to find vetted contractors in their area. However, because contractors pay to be featured on the website, it doesn't offer a full picture of all the options available locally. If you’re searching for a local home repair or improvement provider and want to read reviews from other customers, we recommend using HomeAdvisor.

I needed to find a qualified and available house painter. Very very pleased with the business that was referred. Excellent work and fair price. I was having difficulty even getting a return phone call before turning to HomeAdvisor. I have a 2600 sq ft two story wood home with an unattached office building. My job included power washing, chipped paint scraping and repairing with spackle, taping and covering the windows and doors with plastic, painting the house and office including two coats on the sunny sides of the house, and a separate trim color on all window frames and doors. Power wash one morning and entire prep and paint completed the next day. Perfection.

We cannot express enough the professionalism that Paul ** and brother Mark ** of Cornerstone Construction brought to our project. They and their crew could not have been more perfect! We have had terrible experiences with multiple contractors since we bought our brand new home in 2020 and for the first time, we can breathe peacefully knowing we have no need to fear an unfinished outcome.
The bid was fair and the work was completely finished with our overwhelming satisfaction before any money was given... We will always consult Paul ** on any future Construction needs we may encounter...Absolutely the best company we have ever worked with! Years of Construction experience showed in every area of the project! Please commend this company with this review! We certainly do!

We had an excellent experience with Alamo. Bart was right on time and worked consistently. We would highly recommend Alamo. Bart came out right away, gave us a cost for the project. Started right on schedule and worked consistently and finished right on time. He did excellent work. We are very pleased.
Thank you for the great review, and we're happy to hear that your experience with Alamo was so wonderful! Please be sure to leave a review on their profile as well, if you have not already done so.

I went on Home Advisor website and I put in what I needed. I received a call in 10 minutes. I hired the guy and he fixed my bathroom within 2 days. This is the second time I have used them and each time I was very impressed. The first time I need attic steps and this time plumbing. When the work is done you will receive a call about the work and to see if you were satisfied.
Thank you so much for the excellent review! We're happy to hear that your service was so great!

They made the connection to a qualified painter/drywall person by the name of Selvin **. He called within 5 minutes. Selvin ** was quick, prompt and helped me get out of a big jam. I removed the popcorn ceiling which revealed a nightmare of improper tape joints and over muddying of seams. He made Michelangelo proud, he is true artist and a very hard worker. I only had to wait 5 minutes after I put up the SOS on Angie's List. He started to work early and painted, sealed crown molding and fixed the massive imperfections that were hidden under the textured popcorn ceiling. Don't think twice about hiring this man. Remove the popcorn yourself (I did) but prepare yourself for the worst, because 90% of the time that stuff was sprayed on there for a reason.

J Thomas Construction, Inc. is by far the best I have met to work with in any project. Jason and his team basically rebuilt most of my deck. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail was impeccable. The cost and amount of time it took to do the work was extremely reasonable. The team is respectful. Jason is great at communicating so you always know what is happening and when it is happening. Amazing deck!!!! Thanks Jason and Team!

Wonderful technician who was very honest and upfront about the fact my washer could not be fixed. Very prompt and personable. Gave me great suggestions for when buying a new machine. I would not hesitate to recommend Moses and his company to any person looking for a repair company which gives excellent service and is very fair with their pricing.

Workers were on time, worked professionally and cleaned up completely after the job was finished. They honored their estimate exactly as written. Replaced two bathroom faucets which hadn't been replaced for 25 years, adjusted a rain downspout and reattached and cleaned the rain gutter. I highly recommend DelMar Roofing and Exteriors.

Home Advisor did a great job. I recommend using them when you need a repair service. I will tell all my friends about my experience and how great my experience was. I will definitely use Home Advisor in the future. I am 86 years old and using Home Advisor was very easy to use.
