HomeAdvisor makes it easier than ever to get connected to top-rated and pre-screened service professionals who can bring your home improvement dreams to reality.
And don't worry, HomeAdvisor is, and will always be, completely FREE to use!
We changed our name to reflect our commitment to being the #1 resource for home improvement tips, advice and connections. We are adding new features to our website that will allow you to not only connect to a home service professional, but also access valuable tools and advice to help you plan and complete your next home project. We feel that the new name is a better reflection of the type and quality of services that we bring to homeowners.
All the same great features you know and love from ServiceMagic, but they are getting better!
Starting at the end of September, you can go directly to www.homeadvisor.com, which will be the new web address for HomeAdvisor going forward.
You will still be able to use your existing ServiceMagic login and password to access HomeAdvisor. You can access your account by visiting HomeAdvisor.com and clicking on "My Account" in the top right corner of the page. All of your account information will remain the same and you will still have access to your list of service professionals.
Your ServiceMagic mobile app will continue to work, but you won't see the new HomeAdvisor logo until you update the app to the new version. You will not lose any information by updating your app. The only change you will notice is the HomeAdvisor logo. Everything else will remain the same.
To update the app on the iPhone, open the iTunes App Store and tap the 'Updates' icon at the bottom of the screen.
To update the app on your Android device, open Google Play. Press the 'Options' button on the top right of the app and select 'My Apps'.
Once the app update is available at the end of September you'll be able to select the update for HomeAdvisor and update your apps.
You can still reach us at the same customer service number, (866) 888-6244 or email us at [email protected].
Yes, however emails will start coming from HomeAdvisor.com, so make sure you check your junk/bulk email folders during the transition and add our email address to your "safe senders" list. Learn how. Your emails will have a lot more to offer, including a new design, articles with local project cost information, do-it-yourself tips and ideas & inspiration for all kinds of home improvement projects.
Absolutely not! HomeAdvisor will be completely free to use just as ServiceMagic was.
Yes, our network of pre-screened and highly qualified service professionals will remain the same. We are always expanding our network, so we will continuously add qualified new service professionals to our network, offering you more options in your local area.
Yes, HomeAdvisor still holds service professionals to the same standards that ServiceMagic did. All HomeAdvisor pros must pass the rigorous screening process, which includes criminal and financial background checks as well as confirmation of state-level trade licensing. We will continue to provide the most comprehensive screening process for home service professionals in the industry.
Of course! Everything HomeAdvisor offers to homeowners is completely free.
Yes, we verify that our ratings and reviews come from customers who have actually used the service professional. There are no bogus reviews that have been planted by the service professional themselves or by their competitors. This way you can get the neighborly advice that you are looking for.
We can guarantee that the service professionals are still in business and willing to take on new projects. We do encourage the service professionals to call you right away, but sometimes they can't get to you right away.
Yes, we try to match you to 4 service professionals so that you can get multiple quotes so you get the best price. Depending on availability of service professionals who are qualified to complete the work you need done in your local area, there may be times when you are matched with fewer than 4 professionals.
