No Quality Guarantee for Home Service Contractors Booked via Marketplace Apps

Homeowners booking cleaning services through Angi and similar contractor marketplaces receive inconsistent quality with little recourse when work falls short. Contractors may not complete promised tasks yet still receive full payment, leaving customers to finish the job themselves. The platform's rating system fails to screen out underperforming contractors.

Home Services Marketplaces Attract Only Low-Quality Contractors Unable to Win Business Organically

Established contractors with strong reputations do not rely on home services marketplaces, leaving only unproven or underperforming providers available. The platform's vetting process fails to distinguish quality, so consumers receive referrals to contractors who cannot compete on merit. The marketplace model creates a race to the bottom on price without raising quality standards.
