Angies List
reviews and complaints

I'm a small contractor. They make big promises on the phone and it sounds good. So I took a chance and signed up. It turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life. They told me they would put my company license up so I can do what my company specialize in. Septic tank install and septic tank pumping. After a month I cancelled because they couldn't find my license. I told them right where to go and the license number but they still couldn't find it. 3 days after I cancelled they charge my personal debit card. I talked to 1 home owner and she said she never even used Angie list. I'm waiting on the 2nd home owner to call back to hear what they have to say. Contractor stay away from Angie Leads.

I paid over $250 dollars to have the wallpaper in my bedroom removed. Someone came out, but he didn't have the right equipment, and after being here for two hours it wasn't working out. He bought some products, but not the kind needed to remove the wallpaper. I really like this gentelman, was a great person and good spirited, but I really want my wallpaper removed. I went out and bought some DIF to do it myself, but I have had three major back surgeries and can't do it anymore. So, can you please honor our contract and send someone out that can remove it for me. I then want some wall stuff done...maybe paneling, or a certain kind of texturing. I have had this wallpaper up in my room for 34 years, did it myself, as I have done most things in my home, and I would like someone that knows how to remove wallpaper, and do the walls to come out. Yet, The person must me experienced in this area. My room is in such disarray because of moving every

thing out. The one gentleman who camme out said he got on Google to learn how to remove the wallpaper, and he bought some items he has purchaced, like fabric softner. I would like to return them to him. Sincerely, Jeani Parsons

I was scheduled for Hydrocleaning to come out on June 11th,2022. I actually called to cancel because my aunt was extremely unhappy with them. Matt wanted to know what he could do to make it right and said he would do my job for $350 instead of $450. i felt like at the moment he was being sincere. Then he cancelled within 24 hours of my job being done. i was very upset because i had taken that day off of work to have this job done.Now said he would do the job for $300 next Sunday and that his guys have confirmed they will be there. On June 16th i text him to see when they were coming. He said Sunday at 2:00 and that he HOPES they show up. I told him that i need to know for sure. He said he will contact me tomorrow. June 17th comes and not a word so i text him at11:30 and he says he hasn't heard from the guys who work for him and that he will call me when he knows. At 5:30 i text him again. He says he still doesn't know. At this point, i am beyond upset and i know he is blowing me off. He acted like his workers are running his company and he can't get a hold of them and get them to work weekends. He did nothing buy lie to me and had no intension of ever coming to my house. A $300 job is not worth it to him.

This is for contractors. If you sign up for angi ads, they will still sell your leads to angi leads, in other words when you get a lead, angi's call center will be racing you to call that person, and they will try to take a deposite on that call.

It takes them 8 minutes to call from the time you get the lead email. They high pressure sell to get the 300 deposite and cut you out . They then sell that same lead to angi leads.

This is 100% a scam , a conflict of interest and i dont see how its legal. If you are a contractor be aware of this. You can still get work through angi. But the service is not what they say. They sell you the lead and then compete with you for the job.

On June17,2022 I had a person from Angi service come to my home to clean. She arrived at 1:00 pm. I had ask for 1 bedroom 1 bath living room kitchen office and dinning area to be done. At 3;30 she said she was out of time ? but had not done all areas. She did stay to finish rooms but then told me I owed her $72.00. I said I though my card was to be charged and she said that is just for the company you owe me $72.00 Being the first time I have used this service I paid her. The cleaning she did was not up to par.. Her dusting was just done around things, she never moved any thing as she dusted. she did not clean the kitchen sink and what ever she used to clean the bath room floor left it sticky. So all in all I m not happy with this service and would like a refund and maybe you should check into her getting money from me. I won't be using this service again as I feel I have been ripped off.

If you are in need of plumbing services and would like to contact Mike Scott Plumbing, please refrain from calling the Ocala office for assistance. that number is [protected]. I had a horrible experience in dealing with the office manager Kevin. He was rude, yelling, and totally disrespectful in dealing with a customer. This complaint is only about office staff and not with the plumbing services of Mike Scott Plumbing in general.

I have received a notice that I was to pay $50.00 to the above company through Angi for the cost of transportation to provide a quote. While I would rather receive a legitimate invoice directly from the service provider, I decided to proceed with the $50.00 payment. When I initiated the payment process, there was suddenly a change to $500.00 which immediately caused the cessation of any further payment efforts on my part.

I had asked Angi for contractors associated with recent efforts to correct mildew levels in my home. NLW has a contact number [[protected]], but the person answering this number is not a representative of NLW. They reside in Decatur, Alabama. Further, their Web Site claims that they do not service my zip code {35055}.

Would you please investigate this situation and advise what data you have and rule out a scam possibility. James Barmettler @ [protected] or [protected]@bellsouth.net. If by phone, please leave a voice mail if necessary.

I called on May 6th and came out on May 9th for a Samsung dishwasher repair tech and not knowing angi sent me a Peter Spano from 30 minute service and repair. He knew nothing about dishwashers and told me I need to change my breaker. Without giving me any estimate he went into a junk box he has in the back of his pickup truck and said I need a ark fault breaker and just went ahead and put the breaker in and still the dishwasher did not work. He said he will have to order a part. He gave me a bill for $592.00. He said the breaker was $240.00 and the part he is going to order is $139.00 and service call is $105.00 plus tax. I told him that was a used breaker he put in and he denied it. I had my electrican remove the breaker and it was a rusty breaker with the white wire cut off. I call him and told him he even added wrong and added $97.00 extra to the bill. He said he will be by tommorow to give me the cash. He nevered showed up. I had a Samsung tech come out and in 10 minutes he noticed a cap was missing inside the tub. He replaced it and the machine was fixed. Peter scamed me into paying for something he knew nothing about.

I want my money back and he should not be in business.

I cancelled a yard clean up... One man showed up at my home with a lawn mower. I told him the job was cancelled... Angi charged me $471.00. They refuse to give me a full refund.

I have been stonewalled by them for hours today.

They are dishonest and refuse to be understanding of how dissatisfied am with their policy. Customer satisfaction is not important to them. They refuse to allow me to talk with higher management.

i set up a date with [protected] to clean my floors and bathroom we had it all set up 10 am on saturday was a no show called and text no reply. i waited and waited no show not a good business practice will try another company now

This company did not do an acceptable job on my Back splash and bathroom tile. Sloppy work, Edges of back splash was lumpy and tacky paint chipping off around the edges. Light panel switches was not put back , left open dangerous.

Painting in the kitchen was not covered over from the green paint previous on wall. Tile in bathroom lumpy and tacky around the edges. Bathroom ceiling was damaged workers, did not repair after he was told. My bathroom door was scratch and damage. They also blew out the electricity in my kitchen couldn't use for days. Made me buy more tile than I need and he took tile with him. Leaving this review to warn other customers, looking to use this company. Im an older lady an I think he took advantage of me. Thank you

Angi's list sent 2 contractors with 32 inch garden tractors to cut 3/4's of an acre.

In my estimation neither completed the job and I don't like paying for incomplete

work. I was not able to communicate effectively as it seemed neither had a grasp of the English.

The whole experience with Angi has been very negative since Angi employs PRO's and staff that are difficult to communicate with. Not only that they want paid regardless of whether the job is finished or not. If you give them your payment information your money will be taken regardless of the completeness or quality of the job. This is not a win for the customer but it sure is for Angi.

Lastly, there is no way to call them. I have looked everywhere for a phone number but have yet to find them.

First time the cleaner showed up with her barely 4 yr. Old child to do the job. That was unacceptable, so rescheduled. Meantime the house was sold and I didn't need the service soi have been trying for four days to cancel. The new guy named eric texted me and I explained the situaion. He was ok with cancelling. He couldn't get ahold of angi, I have to and finally got to talk to someone and he said I still have to pay because it was less than 24 hours. Angi makes it impossible to actually talk to anyone or to cancel a service. It's a scheme to get your money for no service. Never recommend them for anything.

REMODEL4LESS LLC (prior GLOGLOBLE GRANITE DESIGN CORPORATION and ABSOLUTE KITCHEN REMODELING CORP) - ESTUPINAN, CARLOS a/k/a Carlos Perez

Unreliable, untrustworthy, uncommunicative contractor - beware;

took thousands of dollars, set multiple installation dates, which he did not keep and did not inform the client of any changes - forced client to loose paid income, to attempt to contact him, while he laughed on a phone or did not bother to respond. Gave various mixed (health, weather, etc.) excuses that may or may not have been truth - lied on next steps - took none.

Absolute nightmare - had prior companies doing same - most likely has been running scams for years under different names.

I contacted Angis list on the 26 of May and got an appointment for someone to come on the 28th. They were supposed to be here between 12 and 3 pm. They never showed up nor did they call to say that they were going to be late or that they were not coming. My grass really needs to be mowed since my usual guy had a heart attack. I am very upset and mad

DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. I made an appt to have a Handyman change overhead lights in my condo and change AC filter. The appt time came and went and no one showed. When I called AL, I was told that the Handyman "said he had some type of personal emergency" and he would not be there. I was disappointed at his not offering another time, but the Lady I talked to assured me I would NOT be charged. Several hours later I checked my bank account and I could see a charge of 125.52 had be debited from my account - and the same amount credited back. All on the same date. Today I see the 125.52 once again debited from my account. The Rep at AL says it will take 3-5 days to put the money back. I still have to hire someone else, so I need MY money back to pay them. These people are NOT Trustworthy. They should have a -0- rating.

Was quoted a price to replace the windows and vinyl siding on my house here in gulf breeze. Gave them a deposit to but the supplies and got the vinyl but got the run around about the windows. Am out 4000.00 dollars after not recieving a refund for the windows and had to hire someone else to do the vinyl siding. Am hiring a lawyer to take them to small claims court

If you are thinking about doing anything well water related I would suggest you do not do business with this Company. The owner's name is "Cody." "Cody" thinks it is appropriate to charge people a $175.00 service fee when their equipment stops working and when his own technician advises him the resin bead of the water softener is "shot" and under warranty. After being told this by his own technician, Cody refused to fix it. In fact I contacted Kinetico, Inc. and their solution was to call another Kinetico dealer in the Bay Area, over 100 miles away from where I live. ( Kinetico, Inc. could care less and their solution to this problem was utterly ridiculous.)

I submitted a complaint to the Ca. State Contractor's Board about the facts of this case and after months of waiting was told there was nothing they could do to make Cody honor Kinetico's warranty, "because I touched (fixed) the equipment" after Cody refused to do so.

I fixed the equipment by replacing the resin bed, which Cody's own technician diagnosed as "shot." The same tech obtained approval to replace the resin bed directly in my presence.

After nobody contacted me I was introduced to"Cody." Cody told me his tech does not know what he is talking about and he should not have told me what he did. Cody then told me he would replace the resin bed, but called back that evening and advised me he would not replace the under warranty resin bed.

So, after being told this by Cody I ordered resin beads online and replaced the resin bed myself. Time was of the essence as my well water was not having any iron removed and our household water was orange.

Low and behold, replacing the resin bed fixed the problem.

The Ca. State Contractor's License Board ( Shelly Beard) was advised in writing about all of these facts. She asked me what I desired to be done in this matter. I told her that I want Kinetico (Cody) to reimburse me for the cost of the resin beads I had to purchase...since Cody unilaterally decided he was not going to honor Kinetico's warranty. I also asked that Cody replace a regeneration disc, since I also installed an iron backwash filter and did not need the water softener to regenerate as frequently.

The iron backwash filter should have been installed in the first place. The reason Kinetico decided not to install what I (actually) needed was because I knew little to nothing about well water treatment at the time and a water softener is twice the cost of a backwash filter. ( In all fairness Kinetico was owned by a different con man at that time)

Ms. Beard did not call me back so I e-mailed her. the following day Ms. Beard left a message telling me that Cody was not reimbursing me anything, "because I touched their system." Ms. Beard closed her message to me by telling me there is, "nothing I can do and I am closing the case."

So, I hope many potential customers will see this post. If one decides to do business with this Company don't be surprised when you end up with iron laden well water staining your appliances, your clothes and your skin as you are forced to bathe in iron laden water.

Kinetico is not going to honor their own warranty and unless it is profitable to them they are not going to help you.

In regards to the Ca. State Contractor's License Board let me save you a lot of time and effort. They are completely feckless and are not going to help you or any other consumer.

I had large shower put in. Wanted to have one down to florr as we grow older to use. Beautiful shower, But inside door to get out of shower started to close by its

self. It has been 3 weeks since I sent text, phone call to them. Go an answer week I was on list. Not where how long just on list. I just sent a video to show them how it closes. Still no answer. We paid promptly. I see no reason not to let us know when to expect approximately when they will come. I am so unhappy and disappointed.

Wave Construction, David Andreyev, constructed a Redwood Deck and Pergola in my backyard in Nov.2020. I paid Wave construction over $18,000 for both projects combined. The Pergola exceeded the maximum allowed height of 7 feet per City of Roseville Code requirements. I was cited for the violation and paid another contractor to correct the Pergola to code ($3,500) because Wave Construction after notice was not willing to do so. Although the Contractors board had cited David Andreyev for violations, I did not prevail in small claims court because David Andreyev had quietly added a statement to the contract without my knowledge or any discussion, that relieved him of liability; He would not be held accountable is the statement. As a senior citizen, I missed the statement because it was probably on a day I wasn't as alert. Then too, I thought I could trust this contractor. I would advise customers to carefully select contractors and read the contract thoroughly.
