On HomeAdvisor.com you can search for a "Trusted Home Improvement Pro". Next there is a quote from a woman that states, "Home Advisor is a secure way to find a trusted contractor. THEY ALLOW ME TO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE BRINGING SOMEONE INTO YOUR HOME".
YET ON Home Advisor's TERMS AND CONDITIONS! They state that, "THEY DO NOT DO BACKGROUND CHECKS!' Nor do they make any kind of preresentation that the provider is licesned reputable or even garranteed!
After I was SCREWED TWICE by two companies I FOUND ON HOME ADVISOR, I left NEGATIVE FEEDBACK and after a month of waiting I left negative feedback once again. NONE OF MY CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK WAS EVER POSTED.
After thinking something is not right with Home Advisor, I CONTACTED THEM AS A BUSINESS REQUESTING A LISTING.
THE ONLY REQUIREMENTS TO HAVE YOUR BUSINESS LISTED ON HOME ADVISOR IS BY PAYING THEM MONEY!
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. TO VERIFY THAT HOME ADVISOR IS A SCAM READ THEIR OWN LIES AND DISCOVER THE TRUTH BY DOING THE FOLLOWING:
First, check out all the claims Home Advisor makes on their home page: http://www.homeadvisor.com
Second, read Home Advisors "terms and conditions" located here: http://www.homeadvisor.com/servlet/TermsServlet
HomeAdvisor.com is nothing more than a marketing website that allows people and businesses to scam the public!

Home Advisor is Scam Company. You pay them money to sign up then you start getting leads that you are charged for. If you do not pay those leads you are sent to collections!!! BEWARE!!!

(People) Leads fill out there information on the internet and do not know they are signing up for a home advisor lead!!! check out the Better Business Bureau in Denver Colorado - Home Advisor has many complaints against them.
