Service Magic

Home Advisor does not honor or vouch for their referrals. I hired a matched pro.

Jaime Hernandez of Appeal Landscaping of Hempstead, NY destroyed my property. He was hired to trim my trees and shrubbery and instead did removal of my trees and shrubbery. Drove his truck on my property broke underground sprinklers and left branches and tree trunks everyone. He then asked for twice the fee as he did more work than he expected.

No one gave him the okay to remove my trees and bushes. My pine tree, my Japanese maple, my Junipters, my weeping willow, my yuccas, my lavender, etc etc are gone. I do not understand Jaime's thought process to remove live trees, shrubs, and plants. I am so sad.

I called Home Advisor.

Apparently they do not require liscens es for many of the services that they recommend pros for. I am left without any recourse, except to mourn my loss.

Home Advisors do not check out or stand by their recommendations

Contractor preston loft conversions have left the job half finished & did not contact the council to have building inspector regs to check on job throughout the loft conversion. Job was started Oct 2014 & was supposed to be completed by Dec 2014. I have been left with job incomplete & contravening building regs .

These *** took my credit card number from 2010,and started charging a 29.99 fee for no reason(Aug.2014) I think law enforcement should be contacted and we should get together for a class action lawsuit. What they did was not an accident but, just like taking my card from my wallet and using it.

I am filing a police report and since it is in another state I will probably have to file a report to the Secret Service. I encourage any one that they have done this too. Contact local police and file a report, if out of state I think you have to involve the Feds.

I am also getting an attorney in Colorado to sue them. I don't care how much it cost.

We paid this company for referral service to introduce and send us new customer but every customer we were referred to was already referred to at least 10 other companies and they didn't need our services and this company still charged us $35.00 per referral then their reputation got so bad so quick they changed their name to home adviser pro. We have had many issues with them and we strongly suggest not to use or sign up with them.

We are service provider and even consumers were having major issue with this company. DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY ANY MONEY, YOU NEVER GOING TO GET GOOD RESULT

On 16th May 2014, a Partner of this Company came out and took measurements of my Garden with regards to laying a Patio. After taking some measurements he came back in and said he could only hold a price of £1,500.00p if I paid him £150 immediately.

I paid him and he said that would keep the price of Job stable, (which I was unsure of because Service Magic says that their different Workforces come and then make a quote for free. I did feel a bit pressurised to say the least. I have contacted them on a few occasions asking for the cost of works to be brought down as I was having a Gardener Llandscaping at the time. (Whom I also contacted through Service Magic)....

Even he said he hadn't heard of payment up front either. As time has gone on I decided to ring again today and The same Man asked for a further £100 cash on Wednesday 22nd October . Please can you advise me as to what I should do now. I am feeling very vulnerable about this as I really haven't heard of this before, he also said that if I don't pay I will loose my £150.00p I had paid earlier this year ,and not to tell his Partner because his Partner wants to write me off the Books with no refund !!!!

Please help, I am at my wits end with worry about loosing another financial commitment until some works get started. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. Kindest Regards. Mrs Kathryn Leonard, 62 Heol Pantgwyn, Llanharry, Pontyclun, CF72 9HW.

somehow I started getting 'amazing' leads and promises of loads of quality work through them. I'm no *** and have this kind of nonsense (promises of work, submit my credit card details!!!) regularly.

I submitted an email to the contact "Prince Kwakye" requesting they remove me from their list (spam) and his (to be honest, polite) response was to up the influx and tell me the negative reviews I read were something everyone gets! 350+ flipping unwanted emails and counting! PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE SERVICE MAGIC!

I have enough to deal with in life already. I'll take honest leads from anyone, if I get the job I'll pay a finders fee, but it's on trust, no credit card details given out!

I have been cleaning for 30 years and got one person from service magic that issued a new check to me for less than what we agreed upon for the work already done. I had to take him to court and I won.

The next job referred to me for a water damage was a engineer also through service magic that agreed to the price but then rewrote his own estimate and informed me that is what it would cost do the job and that was he works for a union and so that is what he would pay me. I also won back my asking price with a signed contract.

Service magic would often call me and charge me for calls from people that would not respond or just not exist at the phone number they gave me. They are magic alright but phony magic at best.

Handy Husband of Annapolis, MD is not a professional contractor by any stretch of the imagination. He replaced my guest bath vanity and fixtures and he did not test that he had installed the plumbing fixtures properly.

The faucet is leaking onto the bottom of the vanity and the hardwood floors below. He left the area that he was working in a complete mess. He scrubbed his tools in my kitchen sink with my pot/pan scrubber and left the mess for me to clean up, he mopped my guest bath and foyer, which he was remodeling with toilet bowl water and when I called him out on it he replied in an aggressive narcissistic manner. I called him on Saturday, November 11th and he said that he could be out on Monday November 13th.

He did nothing that he stated in his professional mission statement. I highly recommend that you remove him from your list of professionals.
