I’ve been using Thumbtack: Hire Service Pros for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that helps you find local contractors and handymen for all kinds of home projects – lawn mowing, house cleaning, roof repairs, you name it. Pretty solid app if you’re into home maintenance and upkeep.
Here’s what you do: you just search for the service you need, like maybe ‘plumber’ or ‘carpet cleaner’, and it’ll show you a bunch of local pros with ratings and prices. And there’s also a chat feature so you can talk to the contractors directly and get a quote. It’s got some cool seasonal task recommendations too, which is useful for getting your house ready for the changing weather. Took me a while to figure out all the features but it’s pretty intuitive overall.
Look, if you’re the kind of person who’s always got home projects going on, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the app can be a bit buggy sometimes and the ads can get annoying – but overall it does the job of helping you find reliable local services. Worth checking out if you need to hire a pro.
