There is a cited criticism that "The screening only goes back one year for civil judgments and it never re-screens contractors again.[44]" This was followed by the following statement, made without any citation "This is false. Homeadvisor screens back to any felonies or jail time. People have been rejected for things that have happened 20 plus years ago." I removed the uncited rebuttal. If the editor disagrees with the cited source, then there needs to be a better argument than simple, "This is false." 24.246.40.139 ( talk) 17:01, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
It is difficult to understand how you can have an BBB rating of A+ while having over 900 complaints. That is a problem in the case of Home Advisor. It is a bigger problem for the scam BBB. I had a personal experience with BBB similar to this one involving an internet company that gathered my information online, complaint filed, BBB presents complaint to the company, company responded to BBB and BBB informed me that the complaint was resolved, it certainly was not resolved. I was never in the loop. What a scam.
There should be a discussion of Home Advisors business model and competition namely Angies List. The two companies' business models are very different. I have used both. Angies List maintains an online formatted entry for each contractor which has contact person, address and telephone information, and summary of services provided; and a rating system which allows comments from customers the contractor has had. Angies List customers can make a selection and either call the contractor themselves or else make the contact through the Angies List website. Home Advisor allows you to enter your location and proximity of contractor locations and description of the service you need to have done. They make the selection or selections of a handful of contractors. Any thinking homeowner would prefer to make an informed decision rather than have Home Advisor make it for them.
Home Advisor is a subsidiary company of IAC Corp., a conglomerate of web based service companies. Presently (April, 2017) IAC is making a bid to acquire Angies List. In my opinion, potential of damaging a good business - service offering (i.e., Angies List). Danleywolfe ( talk) 14:49, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Home Advisor does not help contractors, they steal from contractors. they help themselves to the contractor's bank account whenever they feel like it and siphon out money without the contractor knowing. Before soon, the contractor has insufficient funds.
