Thumbtack

I asked about service from a pro. They were shady and obviously is the sex traffic area i said not interested and was going to report them. They must of beat me to the punch cause next thing i know thumbtack deleted my account. I emailed customer service and told them i have text message proof i would like to send them and they replied it didn't matter and that there was nothing i could do about my account and to have a good day. So they took the side of sex trafficker and wouldn't listen to me at all. I reported them and thumbtack to the state attorney's office for review. My opinion thumbtack is becoming the next hidden back page.

Thumbtack connects you with wrong customers and customers out of your area, charges your card then only refunds it to your house account making you continue to use the service when you just want off the crazy ride.the last bondoggle the customer they connected me with lived over 5 hours away in another state. Most users if the sight are penny pinchers, I have much better luck on Home Adviser. DO NOT recommend for professionals!

Thumbtack is a Rip Off. You can contact prospective customers for FREE, BUT when/if the customer replies back to your offer (either YES or NO) you are charged LARGE amounts.
A customer responded back to an offer I made, simply to tell me that she was already working with someone else. Thumbtack hit me with a $9.84 fee.
I contacted Thumbtack to dispute this charge, but they only agreed to give me a CREDIT. So guess what eventually they would have still get my $9.84.
They refused to refund my money to my card, unless I Deactivated my account.
Plus, the representative who assisted me was extremely rude, nonchalant, and careless.
Goodbye Thumbtack!

Not so much - posted 3 projects on thumbtack...

1st post - didn't work out: fault of NO ONE, things happen (or don't) no problem.

2nd post - change of plans, cancelled TACK but continued to be contacted/harassed by potential companies. If I don't want to use your service "Mr. Floor person" please don't continue to contact me ask how much someone else is charging me... really?

3rd post - I hired movers based on their rating. Spent more money repairing what was broken than the cost of the movers.

Thumbtack "integrity" spent more time calling and telling me they were going to ask me questions than actually doing anything!

I have never heard back from thumbtack!

I hired this clown who claimed to have 20 plus years of experience as a carpenter. He finally got here 3 hours late and I showed him my deck project. He said he was ready to start but didn't have any tools. He said his ex took them in three divorce. Long story short, I fired him in about 15 minutes after finding out he didn't know how to use a compound miter or table saw. If that wasn't bad enough, he stole my 6' ladder from the carport. I contacted thumbtack and they said there's nothing they can do.

I was charged $75 for quoting a $150 bid on a project with a $200 budget. They don't pre-screen these requests very well and the charge for the quote is not published anywhere, so you don't know the cost until they charge you. I was also charged $36 for a "thank you for your quote" response. Pre-screening templates need to be fixed. Not allow bogus requests. Require requestor to put up a deposit. Refund pro's contact fee if project is cancelled altogether.

This company not only has hackers among their company but they hire company insiders that investigate illegally people by skip tracing their information and then they will deactivate your account based on suspicion or by inside knowledge they might illegally obtain by hacking into your computer system if not armed with a firewall. This company is white collar criminals with Yale & Harvard degrees that will not only process information illegally but keep your information to use against you. I have a colleague that works at this company and they have told me about the way they practice business and it is not even Legal to say he least! Reporting to the FBI Do not waste your time with this company. They are hi-tech thugs!

Worked my way up to the number one guy in Broward County Florida for pressure washing and carpet & tile cleaning. Then they implemented background checks. I made mistakes when I was a youth and served my time for it. Made a good example for people who think life is over when someone makes mistakes. Well they sure proved it that they would rather have someone go rot under a bridge than go to work and be a productive member of society like one should. Booo on thumbtack. I'm making it out here now without them and suggest against them if people ask.

Michael Brown with The X-tra Yard was hired by me to clean up and haul off leaves in my very large yard. He did an excellent job. Came the day he was supposed to come and was on time. He did go the "extra yard" to ensure we were satisfied with his work. We also hired him to come back and haul off a lot of miscellaneous trash around our house. Once again he came on the day he was supposed to and did an excellent job cleaning up around the outside of our house.

Very honest company, started with a misunderstanding because i was comming from another state to visit, when i arrived the person that was living at the the house to be cleaned was unclear of what was to be done along with the worker. No worries though everything ended up working out and stephanie reached out to me and made sure everything was perfect, she is a very honest person and will make everything just the way you need it!

This app ha long history of being scam and sending scam leads, further from that they make discrimination among pros who worked over there and remove bad reviews for some of them and not all of them.

And when you complain they easily remove your account even with 165 five stars reviews and only four one stars.

They behave too rude to you and sll the time threatening you to remove your business. At the end of the day, they see themselves as your boss and they can remove your ten years business in one blink.

On a scale of 1-10. I give Mr. Zoerner a 10 +! His work is amazing an pricing more than fair. I had a 7× 13bathroom. Closets on both ends of walls. Took a foot off each closet, allowing more space to install a stand up shower with garden tub! My wife was very happy! An most of all, met the time frame I needed to have it done in.he even finished a day early.! I would recommend an have to anyone needing custom work or repairs. Thanks Mike!

I wrote a review for one of their professionals and then had a conversation about it with the person. We decided that I would just remove the review as I didn't feel like I could leave it in good faith based on the situation that happened. I reached out to their support team and they refused to remove it unless it violated their policies. It seems pretty messed up that they refused to remove it. I am pretty flabbergasted.

I hired a plumber who ended up doing a horrible job, he wouldn't refund me my money, so I went to thumbtack, and they just ignored me and did nothing. They said they would be investigation and somebody would contact me, but nobody ever did. Seems to me like they just want to get the money from the contractor for the lead, and could care less if the customer was happy. Please use a different referral site, or better yet hopefully you can find your own contractor through your friends or family.
