The Customer is #1
Thumbtack was made with the customer in mind. Anyone can go onto the site and tell them what service they request. They have every state in the U.S. participating and chances are you can find someone in an area near you to help you out. Thumbtack doesn’t just find you a professional and call it quits. They go above and beyond. They find you about 3-7 professionals in the field you request and within 24 hours you get quotes from all of them. But don’t worry! Just because you look for a quote, doesn’t mean you are obligated to hire anyone. It’s so easy because they have just about every service you can imagine. Planning a birthday party and need a magician? No problem. No matter what the service is, Thumbtack makes it happen.
A CraigsList Alternative
So you might be asking yourself “What makes this site different than Craigslist?” Well besides the fact that there is not a movie called “The Thumbtack Killer,” Thumbtack gives you reviews from past users on each professional you are considering to hire. They make sure everyone is 1. affordable 2. reliable and 3. good at what they do. Instead of you looking for one service at a time like on Craigslist, they do all the work for you and deliver all quotes at the same time through email or phone.
