Emailed them saying I moved in the spring and call them often about canceling no one answers the phone either. Homestars is a subscription based platform with no clients and no staff but they charge you monthly to advertise once a year. Do not get involved in this scam you premote them and they charge you $500+ a month non-sence

Businesses beware of this service! You pay them a fee and they put you up n there site… if you have a disagreement with a customer and they post a bad review even if it embellished as long as the customer has proof they communicated with you they will not remove the review! So your screwed!
Trust me your better of your have people review on your Facebook page or Instagram!
You've been warned!

Just got new fences installed in my backyard by a company called MG Fence. Amazing job, quality materials. Attention to detail and a very competitive price. My neighbours were somewhat reluctant to proceed with the project but were so happy with the end result. I thoroughly recommend this company if you want to put value on your property. Call Dino for a quote!

Beware: They have absolutely no building skills, no trade licences, are drug users, cons. Reviews are all posted by the owner, family, other cons. Notice there are no no poor reviews. Saw Contractors on homestars, hire outsiders to fix there own homes.

We have an agreement with Reliance Home Comfort Protection Plan 24-hour since 2007. They are committed to providing outstanding furnace heating and cooling, repair and maintenance, Ecobee smart thermostat wiring furnace, and a hot water tank service. Their goal is the same as ours: to get the heat or cooling turned back on fast. First I talked to a very knowledgeable representative at Ecobee, similar to the Nest thermostat. The problem. We could not get the fan started without having the heat on. We had a missing wire going from the furnace to the thermostat upstairs. I immediately booked my appointment with Reliance under my home comfort protection plan to do a scheduled repair the next day. Resolution completed. John from Reliance was very knowledgeable and removed the fast-stat and installed a new 5 wire from the smart Ecobee thermostat upstairs to the furnace in the basement. He did not hesitate to call a co-worker to discuss the diagram of the Ecobee smart thermostat which I like to see because it tells me that the rep cares to fix the problem. He diligently disconnected the thermostat, removed the baseboard in the dining room to create hidden access to run the new wire from the main floor to the furnace in the utility basement. He did a clean job! So nothing a little silicone on the trim can't fix. The fan is now running and we programmed it for 30 minutes an hour. I'm 100% satisfied with the service they provided. Thank you, John!

I was told that key words were being put in place to help potential clients find my business. The guy called me from his own cell phone so none of the calls were recorded and conveniently i hadn't a leg to stand on when it came to making a case... As a contractor i would strongly advise againsst dealing with this company and be very careful with how they deal with you through the process- make sure they call from a legitimate phone number so your calls can be reviewed when things go south... I have dealt with yellow pages and now homestars - both have lied through their teeth and taken 100's of dollars a month and the return was pitiful...

They charge alot of money for doing nothing to help your business. They give you fake leads as no body responds to your messages. You don't make even a 25% to pay for this bull$#*! app.

Any contractor you see connected to homestars is a big scam in TOronto, an Canada. There 5 star reviews are all 100% fakereviews written by con friends, family members. To scam you and me, using false names, all 100% lies. Note: There are never bad reviews. Bad reviews are deleted. Home star contractors (drunks, drug addicts) have never built, fixed anything, no trade licences, no schooling. Most cons lost there jobs during recession. These scammers only use outside 'underworld' plumbers, electricians, carpenters, roofers, to fix there homes. Most are organized gangs-italians, russians, french. Who work for cash. There national t. V. ads are there to con the consumers.

While working next door, I asked him to cut a baseboard and he did it for me FOR FREE! What real honest man. Chris

Signed up for Homestars after the rep said I should expect 1-3 leads a day and that there were over 2700 leads in 2020, most of them going unanswered. I jumped through all the hoops and got a 90% rating. I paid $200 a month for 5 months and only got 7 leads, none of which even turned into jobs. I brought this up with my rep and they just pointed out that they don't guarantee leads and that I agreed to a year term... total garbage! I do lots of online marketing and this has been one of the worst ones yet.

Beware homestars is a big scam. It's where cons, scammers pay to advertise. They have no skills, no licences. They are salesman who lost there last jobs. Rich families will pay fee To ad with homestars. Even homestar contractors hire outsiders to have
There home repaired becuz they have no trade skills. Homestars will delete all bad reviews. Most company positive reviews are all fakes, Lies. Checkout the owners of homestars.
Homestars rip off the stupid customers.

This company is a scam it will make you sign a contract give you promises and they will never commit to their promises I signed a contract with them for 6 months and all the promises they gave me to improve my business they did not accomplish

Company has no values to trades, they just want your money and then leave you hanging dry do NOT use this company to find trades.

Great company, on time and cost as quoted, very knowledgeable and professional people, I highly recommend them. They had to switch the door on the built-in Bosch fridge we got from CAS with it on the wrong side, among other issues. Elite is fantastic and were the bright light in the entire appliance buying fiasco we had been through with CAS. I highly recommend Elite Appliance Service without hesitation.

We got rid of this company a few years ago for having no accountability for reviews. Ever since we have received multiple calls from them to get back on board. We're not interested in a platform that has no accountability, and charges x4 to x5 times the competitions annual fees, we put in too much hard work in the field, we want to be represented correctly and accurately and heard as business owners when there are legitimate concerns"
I felt compelled to write this review after a very pushy phone call from one of the reps today.
#reviewing the reviewers

Hi, invoice # 73462 was much higher than expected. The call back was for a bbq issue, the service person Craig, did a furnace check (which had been done), a fireplace check and he replaced the BBQ outlet. I was told that I would be paying only for parts but was billed for all the above. We are not happy about the bill.

I have been an employee at HomeStars for nearly half a decade and the company is extremely poor with its internal functionality. For a company that claims to be a "startup" even after being in the business for more than a decade just to nullify their internal errors when it comes to constant delays with product launches and something as poor as paying their employees the right amount at the right time. Of the 24 pay periods in a year, at least 10 pay periods have errors in missing out partial payments to employees including base pay. It is impossible to run your personal expenses while working at Homestars at a deadline especially during these tough times as the paid amount is almost never equal to the accurate to be paid amount. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AS AN EMPLOYEE HERSELF!

First of all, my advice is before signing a contract like with Homestars, always make sure to always look at the reviews because it's a company that promises leads/jobs, reviews, calls, messages but they do not comply with their word. Based on experience, I got out of the contract ASAP and spent almost $3000 and I did not receive a LEAD/JOB EVER. I basically gifted them $3K for nothing. I had to pay the cancellation fee. It was either being stuck paying them monthly for 1 year or paying a huge fine. Ridiculous. I preferred to pay the fine than to stay in the contract with them. They also kept persuading me to stay and keep paying. In the end, it was the best decision to terminate the contract. Homestars is a scam and it's not a serious company.

I signed up with this platform a month ago, very very very poor customer service, when Ineed assistance there is never anyone available and all the leads they send me are not in the area I asked for.

I thought when I started my own locksmith business that this would be a good way to drum up business as promised by sales Rep, which by the way are very pushy. I've maybe Recieved 6 leads in 6 months, I am now trying to cancel but I get the run around that either my representative is on holidays or they just never call me back. I feel like they just ignore my request so I keep paying the outrageous monthly bill. If you do manage to cancel you get charged 35 percent of what's left in contract. My advice would be to avoid this app. Like the plague. Not a good experience.

When they are trying to sell their website subscription, they will promise 7 -15 leads a month. Also, they say that you will have an account support specialist which will only contact you when you are late with payments. Also, it's worth mentioning that they will lock you in the contract for one year, and you stuck with them for at least 1 year. In the real world, you will receive 1 or two complete garbage leads which or waste your time or you will not make any money on it.

I used Homestars to connect with a company called Maderaworx. I had nothing but problems with this company. It started with a 22 inch shower and ended with no safety bar and no sliding bar just to make the shower 26 inches. When I tried to review Maderaworx, I was unable to do a review in the Homestars page because my review was too negative. Homestars only let's you post factual information no negative. How can you give an honest review if you had a negative experience? Homestars sucks. Do not believe any of the reviews. Some of the companies have been in business for 20 plus years and only a handful of reviewers. I will never take a recommendation from homestars ever again and I will never deal with Maderaworx either.

When i first started my electrical business i thought it would be a good idea to sign up with homestars. The sales person promised that i would be getting all sorts of work through them and that there was no end to the amount of work they had in the calgary area. Im about 6 months in and i have come to the conclusion that that was all a lie. I probably get 1 lead a month off them and its usually for something really small. I didnt think i was going to have to depend on home stars for work or anything but they are not delivering on what they promised. Avoid this company like the plague!
