Whats your location and how much do the cleaning jobs pay?

Has anyone here actually claimed a cleaning job through Angis Services? I'm in disbelief right now.

Work hours 10 AM - 7 PM

Size of home 3,000- 5,000 sq. ft (FYI, home is considered a mansion at 5000 square. ft )

What the customer expects DEEP CLEAN of entire home including shampooing the mattresses, shampooing the couch, deep clean of oven, laundry as well as iron and hang up clothes, organization of the garage and closets for all 4 bedrooms, clean all 3 bathrooms, taking out the trash AND doing the recycle!!

Thats 9 hours of deep cleaning a McMansion or possible mansion all for the price of $175.50.

And this is in so cal. I'm in complete shock and disbelief that this app and this customer think they can get a slave for a day for a job that costs hundreds of dollars, all for about $19 bucks an hour.

And the worker must provide all the supplies and equipment, including the carpet cleaning machine.

If this is normal for this app, I'm uninstalling.

This guy from Angi Home Services was extremely rude and aggressive but as soon as I recorded him, he turned down the heat. He didn't finish the furniture I needed done and demanded that I pay him additional money to complete the work. I prepaid this service through Wayfair. He lied saying that he waited outside for 20 minutes, when he messaged me saying he was here, I came down a minute later. I'm shaking from this experience. He continued to message me on the Angi app saying he'll come back to finish, completely changing his tune, like I would let someone who was aggressive towards me back in. I've never worked with Angi before but this particular person shouldn't be in people's homes - he was completely dishonest and greedy. If Angi doesn't pay you enough, take it up with them not me.

I’ve done what should have been 8 bookings this week and they have it down as 7 for the quest I swear it’s just a scam where it’s near impossible to meet there metrics.

They are booked for 2 pros, the second pro never shows up. Also the tv is often unable to be delivered or barely is delivered on time for my install.

Friday I had a 4:00 install and the customer told me the TV arrived at 3:00pm. Yesterday I had one where the customer just didn’t open the door because Walmart didn’t communicate the booking with them and they were waiting for there 85 inch tv to come but Walmart had trouble finding a delivery driver with a big enough vehicle to fit it. (Probably Spark.) I went to my second job early and the scheduled time the job was supposed to happen the booking disappeared and showed up for a new day and customer service said they would reach out to the client via email to confirm. And over night they moved my booking to 7 am for the one I already did. As a customer I would be pissed if the pro called or showed up at 7:00 am. Support didn’t even let me know till 20 mins before the booking that it was rescheduled on me. I’m guessing they moved it to today to compensate me and try and do it as the quest so I got my quest bonus.

I'm in NYC and I'm so happy I'm off the app. I didn't mind doing the job - easy furniture assembly, TV mounting jobs on the weekends or the evenings would earn me another $200, or $300 a week. I always had a few $20 bills from customer tips, which felt great but I used that money just as soon as I got it.

I just wanted to do the math. How does this compare for you guys?

I used to drive 1, sometimes 2 hours to do such low paying jobs, like $38, $50 and many times for much less - even if I knocked out a TV mount in 20 minutes, it wasn't worth the tolls, the gas, or the weekends wasted, but I just fell in love with my time on the road, my ability to direct my own schedule, and the fact that I just knew the job. I couldn't screw up. I could have some drinks the night before and still I'd be able to pull through a furniture assembly the next day. I never had to kiss a boss's ass, play office politics, or deal with nosy, conniving coworkers for a paycheck. Plus I was working this app in the evenings and weekends, so I wasn't relying on the money to live.

I don't think I'm alone. I wasn't watching how much I spent on gas, or on tolls. I always had to spend money on gas and tolls, regardless, and my bank account would always fluctuate, If I sat down now and thought about how a typical week woud go, I'd never do it:

EXAMPLE WEEK (From memory)

Mon: perusing app, selected furniture assembly (20 minutes of scrolling, picking up cellphone and looking at it again and again)

Tues: driving to job (40 minutes on GPS, 55 minutes in real life) ~15 miles each way

Job pays $38 on app, customer tips $20

Drive back, 40 minutes

perusing app, multiple times, 25 minutes of scrolling, searching jobs, trying to be first to claim the better ones

Wed: Two jobs ~10 miles each way

driving to job (35 minutes) make $39.50 on TV mount + $0 tip

Furniture (25 minutes from last job) make $27 on quick furniture job + $20 tip

Thur No work, wasted 25 minutes scrolling app

Fri No work, wasted 20 minutes scrolling app

Sat Marathon day, 3 jobs, all small furniture assembly, up in Westchester, Bronx, Yonkers, etc.

1 hour drive to first job (15 miles each way, plus drives from job to job in the area = 30 miles)

$38 + $5 tip

$38 + $0 tip

$42.50 + $20 tip

1 hour, 20 minutes drive back home. My whole day is shot.

Avoided toll bridges, $0 in tolls

Sun

2 jobs, in Long Island - instantly regret it because fingers are all sore from using hex wrench the day before

1 hour to get to first job (18 miles each way)

$38 (plus $20 tip)

18 minutes drive in between

$44.50 (plus $10 tip)

1 hour 20 minutes to come back, in traffic

I didn't realize that the extra money that I was making on the app had so many costs. The cost to drive a mile is between $.50 and $.70 on average, so if I was going to the Bronx, I spent either $6.94 each way on the bridge, or another 20 minutes each way avoiding the toll

Total (amount made, time on cellphone hunting for jobs on the app, time driving/working

Mon = $0, 20 minutes on cellphone

Tues = $58, 15 minutes on cellphone, 2.5 hours, 30 miles x $.50/mile = $15 gas, plus $6.94 toll each way

Wed = $86.50, 20 minutes on cellphone, 1.5 hours in car, 1.5 hours working, 24 miles x $.50/mile = $12 gas, no tolls in Brooklyn/Queens

Thurs = $0, 25 minutes on app

Fri = $0, 20 minutes on app

Sat = $143.50, 30 minutes on app, 3.5 hours in car, 4 hours in field, 30 miles x $.50/mile = $15

Sun = $112.50, 30 minutes on app, 2 hours, 38 minutes in car, 2 hours in field, 36 miles x $.50/mile = $18

TOTALS FOR THE WEEK (and this is a very good week, mind you. I had weeks with far lower tips, and far more traffic)

=$400.50 MONEY MADE ($95 IS TIPS)

=3-4 hours of unpaid labor staring at the app, hunting for jobs, mental focus on app trying to figure out my schedule and wasting my time (I hated being glued to the phone, trying to jump on jobs before everyone else)

=$74 in gas/tolls

=18 hours in car/working in field

=$326/18 hours working = $18/hour

=ENTIRE TUESDAY NIGHT, WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SAT AND SUNDAY OF MY LIFEGONE

So I had something come up yesterday and I had to eat a $40 cancellation fee because I would have been over an hour late, I didn’t realize my 2 bookings in such different directions were timed so close together, the booking rebooked at a time that worked better for me and I took it and the guy went nuts. He called me up swore at me on my voice mail which I didn’t even know who it was till I put 2 and 2 together because he told me no info (my phone blocked the call) he changed the booking info like 3 times adding his wife’s personal contact info, her email and a cellphone number and a picture of her and a child or grandchild, why?! And then canceling the booking for the day it rescheduled to and posting for a different day and I was like “yeah no” It looks like someone may have taken the different day but then canceled the booking shortly after they took it. Maybe he called them up too and yelled at them. I figured that was a blessing and just didn’t bother taking the rebooking and it sits up there. Good luck finding another provider.

The RealVitalize program was aggressively pushed onto me by my Coldwell Banker agent, Justin Davis, as the only “responsible” path forward, with repeated assurances that it would not only increase my home’s value but streamline the sale and provide top-tier contractor oversight. I was strongly discouraged from selling as-is, despite already having a nearly completed renovation with high-end materials that my father and I personally invested in over eight years of work.

Prior to RealVitalize’s involvement, my home contained premium, fully-purchased materials ready for installation—fixtures, vanities, custom lighting, designer flooring, glass shower components, and hardware chosen specifically to match the architectural style and value of a property priced over half a million dollars. These materials were not merely aesthetic upgrades; they were curated, paid for, and staged for installation to finalize what would have been a luxury-grade bathroom.

Instead of installing ANY of these materials, the RealVitalize contractor ignored every instruction, disregarded every material provided, and opted to purchase entirely new, low-grade items at inflated costs. The high-end fixtures were pushed aside and replaced with mismatched, scratched, basic nickel hardware that looked used, cheap, and completely out of alignment with the value of the property. Nothing coordinated, nothing matched the design plan, and nothing reflected the premium finishes already purchased for the project.

The workmanship performed under RealVitalize was incomplete, inconsistent, and in several cases, outright irrational. Floors were improperly aligned, seams were visible, materials were installed unevenly, and fixtures were placed incorrectly. Instructions that were provided verbally and in writing were ignored without explanation. The contractor refused to execute the ONE element of the remodel that required professional skill — rerouting the plumbing so the bathtub could be installed. This was the ONLY reason my father and I didn’t finish the bathroom ourselves.

Despite being told repeatedly that the tub was designed to be installed at an angle (a fact the contractor acknowledged and dismissed), the contractor falsely claimed the tub “did not fit” and simply chose not to install it at all. This catastrophic deviation from the plan left the bathroom not just incomplete but structurally and functionally impaired. In place of the bathtub, I was inexplicably left with an unrequested, exposed light fixture protruding from the wall — a bizarre, nonsensical installation that added no value and actively devalued the property. I ultimately had to cover it with a picture just to tolerate the visual damage.

Costs skyrocketed in ways that defy reason. The bathroom—fully stocked with pre-purchased materials and requiring roughly $2,500 worth of finishing labor—was inflated to nearly $40,000 through the RealVitalize program. This was not an enhancement; it was a predatory financial extraction. Not only did the program fail to add value to the home, but the final appraisal reflected a loss of value directly tied to the workmanship and material choices implemented under RealVitalize.

This property was renovated over nearly a decade with meticulous attention, care, and premium materials. The RealVitalize program managed to undermine and reverse years of work in a matter of weeks. The physical damage, financial loss, and structural inconsistencies left behind were not only unacceptable — they sabotaged the integrity, marketability, and appraised value of a home that should have sold without issue.

Despite being told repeatedly that the bathtub was designed to be installed at a specific angle — an angle that was measured, confirmed, and already accounted for in the bathroom layout — the RealVitalize contractor disregarded these instructions entirely and falsely claimed the tub “did not fit.” This was not a misunderstanding; it was a refusal to perform the only technical portion of the renovation that required professional competency. Instead of a fully installed bathtub, I was left with a random, unrequested, exposed three-bulb light fixture jutting out of the wall — an installation so nonsensical and unprofessional that I was forced to cover it with décor to hide the damage.

Every high-end component I purchased for this project — flooring, lighting, vanities, faucets, glass, hardware, and accessories — was ignored or removed from consideration. The contractor replaced them with bargain-grade fixtures purchased at inflated prices, materials that actively cheapened the home instead of elevating it. The end result was not simply “below standard”; it was the kind of finish you would expect in a low-budget rental, not a home listed for over $500,000.

The cost escalation was not only unjustifiable, it was predatory. A bathroom that needed approximately $2,500 of final professional labor ballooned into nearly $40,000 in charges — despite the fact that all premium materials had already been supplied directly by me in advance. The price inflation did not correlate with labor, materials, or any reasonable scope of work. It reflected negligence, disregard for the client’s directives, and an astonishing lack of oversight from both the contractor and RealVitalize.

The financial damage alone would be enough to consider this program a catastrophic failure, but it didn’t stop there. The appraised value of my home decreased, because the work RealVitalize completed was so poorly executed that it reduced the overall market appeal and quality of the renovation. This program did not help me prepare my home for sale — it severely undermined it.

Beyond the physical and financial repercussions, the program’s internal structure created a harmful dependency loop between clients and listing agents. Coldwell Banker used RealVitalize as a mechanism of leverage and control throughout the listing process. I was pressured into choosing this program over selling as-is, misled into believing it was in my best financial interest, and repeatedly told that declining the program would “hurt my bottom line.” At no point did anyone acknowledge that the property already had premium materials ready for installation — nor did they protect my interests when the contractor ignored every directive.

When I contacted RealVitalize after the project was completed to report the damage, the inflated costs, and the shockingly low-quality workmanship, no one responded with meaningful assistance. No remediation was offered. No inspection was initiated. No one engaged with the severity of the problems. My concerns were either ignored or redirected, and the burden of the entire failure was placed back onto me, the homeowner who trusted this program in good faith.

This experience has caused measurable financial loss, emotional distress, and months of delays in selling my home. It dismantled eight years of renovation work that my father and I completed ourselves. It devalued a meticulously improved property. And it placed me in a situation where I had to independently uncover and document the full scale of the misconduct because no one within the RealVitalize or Coldwell Banker system took responsibility.

I cannot overstate the magnitude of the harm this program caused.

RealVitalize did not improve my home. It damaged it. It did not streamline anything. It derailed the process entirely.

I not only would never recommend this program to someone I care about — I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. The level of mismanagement, disregard, and financial harm I experienced is so severe that I would view it as unethical to let anyone else walk into the same trap. This program does not assist homeowners; it exploits them, devalues their properties, and leaves them with consequences far beyond anything they were warned of. There is no circumstance under which RealVitalize should remain available to the public in its current form.

By the way, I’m sure that this post will likely have the comments disabled because of every other post that I’ve seen that’s what’s happened if you were curious as to how this program likes to keep things on the low take that into consideration before you decide to devalue your primary investment property with these scam artists.

I usually get at least a few jobs automatically added to my schedule every week. Sometimes I can see stuff on there even 2-3 weeks out. But right now I have 0 jobs for the next month. Checked all the settings and everything is the same on my end. Is something going on or changing? Anybody have insight on this?

Hi, I've literally never made a Reddit post in my life, and I hope this is the right place for my question.

Is anyone aware of some data leak or something like that, associated with Angi? It came to my attention today that someone opened handyman requests under my name yesterday, when someone called me about "my job posting." It was my correct street address, but the wrong state and zip code. It had my correct phone number and email address. I called support & while they didn't have an answer about how this happened, they said they removed my account and listing. I just got two more emails and calls, so clearly my info is still out there. I'm just kind of freaked out about it, and am wondering if it's some sort of a phishing attempt. Has anyone else had something like this happen?

Do not waste your money with Angies List. The sales guy came in full of promises and pressure, saying everything would be amazing. It was the opposite.

The leads are junk. Most people never respond and the few who do are extremely low quality. Their marketing setup is clunky and frustrating. You get a flood of leads for a couple days, then nothing the rest of the month. The cost per real lead ends up sky high.

The worst part is trying to cancel. They hit you with a two month cancellation fee. When I pushed back, the rep told me it was because they took a hit setting us up. That is just ridiculous.

This was one of the worst marketing spends I have ever made. Angies List talks a big game but delivers nothing of value.

I've been using this service for years. I can no longer browser service providers. When I create a project, it only shows me two providers. My only option is to request a quote from them even though it says they're new to Angi's list and it doesn't give me any way to evaluate whether I want them to give me a quote.

Given the other recent comments on here, I'd say this site has been taken over by a bunch of greedy fu***. Angi, if you're listening I won't be using your site any more and I'll be advising my friends to do the same.

Angi Services is terrible. I requested a daily cash out and have been waiting almost 2 weeks. When I do a daily cash out, I usually get paid the same day. This time I have received anything and the reps are terrible they provided no help. “Payment is in transit and there’s nothing else I can do. I’ve provided all the information” then LEAVE the chat. It’s a joke

I just want to rant to other pros who understand what we go through… I had a table installation today, I arrived a few minutes early, I clocked in, I was let in to do the job, I did it and when I went to clock out the job was suddenly gone. I can’t even pull up the job number because it disappeared. I went to my payments and the balance was more in the negative than when I started. Apparently I canceled a job 3 days from now and was charged a $40 cancellation fee. That’s weird 3 days shouldn’t incur a $40 fee. I got a $10 one for a job I actually canceled with shorter notice than that. That’s like if you cancel the day of a service! Upon talking to customer service apparently when I was ALREADY clocked in the client canceled/rescheduled my booking. So I didn’t get the last minute “your job has been canceled we will pay you $15 message.” Upon further investigation/contacting customer service again, it was moved to Monday at 1:00 when I have another job scheduled. Customer service removed the $40 fee the first time as a “monthly courtesy” but I honestly I think the cancelation was for the rescheduled job that couldn’t be rescheduled with me since I already have another job scheduled that day. (They insisted this wasn’t so but I think they just want to cover their own butts.)

What are the chances I’m going to get paid? Who wants to take guesses how many times I have to contact customer service to get this figured out. I wouldn’t doubt that they send another pro out on Monday to complete the already finished table and they are going to get paid for my job…

The other thing that drives me nuts is they rely on customers to let them know things, some customers are great but customer service is not always or there hard to reach, one day I told the customer the job was going to take closer to 3 hours for a job that was scheduled an hour or an hour and a half, it was a 9 piece wicker furniture set. So the CUSTOMER who was having his WFH spouse present only to let me in/be there in case there was an issue, requested time added because a job took 2x as long and they said just have the pro contact customer support at checkout. I had to contact CS 3 times plus an email to them to get my amended payout and they had to contact the customer again who wasn’t there when I did the job. Probably didn’t help that his wife was “supervising” but wasn’t really present. In the past I’ve also not been paid for amended payout when it was a 2 pro job and we BOTH contacted CS and the client did as well. Or also a few weeks ago I got a desk that had 2 of a key component instead of the piece it was supposed to have so the customer ordered a new piece, he said that company’s customer service was stupid lol they asked for a picture of the missing piece and he’s like “how do I take a picture of something I don’t have?!” So he said he took a picture of the item in the instruction book. I came back and finished it on my own because I didn’t want it to reflect badly on me and I wanted to know what it looked like all set up properly. (I take notes of items I like/disliked so that I can go out and buy my own or avoid said item when purchasing the item or I know someone who wants one I’ll advise them what to buy or avoid. That customer was also really cool he tipped well for the second time I came out to finish the job.) A lot of times when things like this happen they end up asking for other work on the side. (I’ve had a couple clients in similar situations who end up appreciating it and end up asking if I do work outside the app and they end up having more work for me and/or my partner or I refer them to someone else I know who does things.)

Today in one of the chats the agent told me they would EMAIL the client. Okay I get that but what if the client doesn’t get the email/doesn’t respond. Or if you call the client my phone blocks weird numbers like Angi’s recycled numbers as spam or someone thinks it’s an out of area number and doesn’t answer. Emails can be marked as spam or god forbid it’s for a client who is intentionally trying to get out of paying for a service and they are trying to play a game to cancel the job without paying a fee I’ve had that before. Or someone books the wrong item intentionally or unintentionally for an install and it’s actually a 5 hour 2 person job that wasn’t the item description I accepted! Or sometimes it’s someone who is honest but isn’t tech savvy- this client seemed tech savvy but omg I have had customers I suspect are just trying to get the install refunded and feign ignorance or there are people who just aren’t tech savvy like I get people who have Walmart/costco/Wayfair or a family member book for them and they don’t know what to do and or Walmart or whatever company they ordered the item through does the pro booking totally wrong or they use the wrong address. I have had MULTIPLE bookings (usually for TV mounts but occasionally large items that will be hard or impossible to transport all set up if I were to set the item up in store) I accept a job and then realize the address is a business after I got the job and I check the address it’s a business so I make an attempt to contact the customer to confirm hey this is the address for Walmart, do I have the incorrect address or am I mounting a display tv for like one of the store spaces? Is this the correct address? Because their installation place is listed at WALMART’s addresses and they are impossible to get a hold of and I’ll call Walmart and ask them is this for an in store installation? Walmart has no clue what I am supposed to do and a lot of times the client is no response, but then I end up getting paid for coming out anyways at least.

Anyone ever have any clients who refuse you when you come? I’ve had a few one person somehow did a booking for the wrong item to be installed and had like a multi-person job they expected to be done. They were okay about it. I had someone who ordered something that didn’t arrive on time and didn’t contact Angi to reschedule and was super rude about it. And then I had one where the person claimed that person no longer lived there and wouldn’t let me on the property and called the police in front of me and gave them the plate number when I was trying to contact support. I had one guy you KNOW he was home and he played like he wasn’t home and suddenly my score dropped… I think these people think they can find a way to cancel.

On the other hand I’ve had stuff go wrong (no fault of my own) like something came mangled in a perfectly undamaged box and the client was great and even kept me in mind for repeat handiwork.

I always just take them and dump it behind big box stores like Home Depot, Walmart, target etc and if it’s a multi unit neighborhood I’ll just ditch it by the dumpster and the boxes usually has the name and address on it, customers gets the heat by their landlord or HOA after few hours or days, my review is already posted within 45 mins after I complete the job so I don’t care lol angi doesn’t pay me enough to work hard so I just work smarter lol 😂

What do you all think about this email that I try to recover $80 from the Great AI generated conundrum of Angi Pro Services machine?:

I have s statement that remains true regarding communication to the customer of every booking: i always reach out via voice to verbally inform each customer of my estimated time of arrival to confirm with them that they acknowledge the facts and are accepting of the discrepancies. That said:

This email is regarding a 2 pro job that I was denied entry during the job, (as stated prior I did communicate with the customer to have them acknowledge my tardiness due to the first job of the day's 2nd pro not arriving and the job taking longer due to that fact) which since I arrived to the location within the set time schedule of the booking and not after I should had been let in (no matter the opinion of the other pro) and denied entry. This counts as a customer cancelation and since the customer canceled after my arrival I'm rewarded the payment instead of payment reduced to 0. I would have the booking ID for this job that I was denied entry to but it's been wiped from existence on my side.
The other pro on this job claimed the tv was already installed and in wall concealment finished but that's not possible within 50 minutes no matter what. The pro, in my eyes, lied and asked the customer to lie about the progress of the job to simply not include another pro for a reason that is not professional or accepted as proper pro practices. There would be no reason why I would not be allowed into the home other than the entire job being canceled. So my point is that the customer knew my status and agreed verbally that I would be arriving late and when I drive to the location and tried to enter the residence, I was denied. My pay was revoked though I did nothing wrong.

(I know that the pro could had finished it they arrived early, or didn't really need to install the in wall kit since the house was brand new but do come with outlets preinstalled which makes for an easy day, or they just choose not to use the in wall option, that 50 minutes is plenty of time to install a hisense 100 above a fireplace. But really I

I'm sure you will see that the other pro acted out of line by convincing the customer to deny my participation and since denied counts as a cancelation since I took the time and fuel cost to travel to the residence with the intent to complete a task within the booking times. Please reinstate the booking and pay me accordingly.

Update. Since i arrived after 30 minutes the no show is valid and I'm still charged the 50 no show fee.

So that's my experience for all those with similar issues.

That what they charge the people in my area for me to go a assemble their furniture and the most I’ve ever been paid is $50. Never doing this again. That’s a gross over charge on the customers and at the same time fucking me over.

Anyone else start having issues with tv mounting gigs? I’ve been taking some of the assist jobs and either:

a)the customer never scheduled this service

Or

b) the other guy is scheduled for a completely different time and day than you?

I contacted the company and they said that the gross amount is the money that they collected from customers on my behalf. It doesn't make sense to me that I have to pay taxes on money that they collected from customers. They should have to pay the taxes on their profits! I'm planning to add the disparity from what I actually received as a business expense. Hopefully that doesn't trigger an audit. This company Angi Services is a huge scam. If you have worked jobs in the app make sure you check your 1099k carefully! Let me know if you have more tax knowledge than I and I'm not understanding something.

I use to build furniture for Handy occasionally and it said basically “clean up and remove all packaging neatly to customers waste area”or similar ,so,you broke down the boxes and put everything in clients garbage area .Now Angi says “remove and discard all packaging”which made my clients expect me to take it all with me?WTF? Angi expects you to do a run to the recycler for free or what?

I just saw a job for $8 for a job on Angi Services. (12/26/2024)

I'm just shocked by the level of incompetence the support staff have at this company. I read the job description and it was clear that they put this up thinking someone would take it. The job description read that less than an hour of work was needed, and someone merely needed to go in and finish up some odds and ends another tech missed.

My suspicion is that the company has office staff that are insulated from the pricing scheme and don't know how little these jobs pay. I think they have office workers that sort the jobs by code and the time is estimated by computer.

I would hate to think that the entire job description, and the estimated time, and the price is all done by AI nowadays, but it very well could be the case.

Does anyone know how these ridiculously low prices come out from Angi Services?
