Alana McCurdy aka Wilma H Jackson (Double A Cleaning of Brewton AL) a supposed Thumbtack Pro, quoted me a price for the repair of windows on a house.
Based on the quote given she asked for and received 50% down, she received the payment and I have not talked to or seen her again.
Now my house has 6 windows, or holes in the wall with not windows that allow me to secure the house. (See attached photos)
Thumbtack then told me they will NOT honor their Pro with their $1M property protection because no damage was done to the property, really. I'm missing 6 windows in my house.
Additionally, the Thumbtack pro was out on bond for drug charges when they used the site to respond to my project.

Thumbtack does not do a continual check of screening pro's for licenses and pending arrests. Checks every 3,6, or 12 months would help to keep track of situations like this in the future.
