Home Improvement Hunt A short time ago we were interested in sprucing up our 40-plus year-old home and decided to start by replacing old, drafty single pane windows with double-pane/UV protected upgrades. Not knowing where to start looking, I “googled” “window replacement san jose” and got a hit on www.servicemagic.com. From their site I made a variety of entries in their multiple screens and received references to four companies. View Full Review >> Date Added: 19 January 2007

from a service magic contractor I have been a contractor working with Service Magic for around 1 month and so far have had 9 leads for entire roof replacements. 5 have been bogus, 3 turned out to be legitimate estimates, and 1 was out of my area. They sell each lead for $55 to 2-3 other contractors. View Full Review >> Date Added: 5 June 2008

Contractors Beware! We finally contracted with Service Magic to furnish leads for our Window Treatment Company after their salesman called us everyday twice a day. 1 out of the first 6 leads was worth going out on. That customer didn't have the decency to email or call me back after I spent hours meeting with her and costing out her job. View Full Review >> Date Added: 13 May 2008

Service Magic Falsely states More honestly they charge contractors @ $250. a month to list their names on their site, then I have heard, additionally charge contractors another fee per referral, even if the referral is bogus. They are really not much more than a \\\"middle-man\\\". They do verify the contractors license, but this could be done very easily by going to the department of consumer protection website, in your state, where you can look up the contractor\\\'s license # on your own.

ServiceMagic Sucks So, since you still owe the final payment to the contractor (you were to pay him in installments a quarter of the estimate at a time), who has gone out of business ( and abandoned his home) and skipped the state owing the supply houses for the materials (that are now placed as a lien on your house even though you paid for them thru him) and has left no forwarding address, and the work is far from "quality" (oh, but it passed the county final inspection, too bad it was not raining then!

Disappointing experience with ServiceMagic I had a completely unsatisfactory experience with this service. After filling out a long-ish questionnaire about my service needs and spending time figuring out how to navigate their website, I waited for over a week for a response. The very FIRST response I received about my request was from ServiceMagic customer support, asking if I was satisfied with their service. View Full Review >> Date Added: 20 November 2007
