    Why is Thumbtack Automatically Adding Services?
    Been meaning to address this for a week. My apologies. Does Thumbtack understand what kind of mess they've just created for me? I will fix a shower door. It's only by the hour and no, I'm not giving an estimate because a simple irr…

    Thumbtack’s Refund Policy
    Thumbtack claims to protect pros with their refund policy, but in reality, they ignore their own rules when it benefits them. Here’s what their policy says vs. what actually happens: 🚨 Thumbtack’s Policy: "A lead that violates …

    Leads Costing Me
    Often the Leads I receive are not responding even though I am responding quickly to them. Which means I am losing money. If this was happening occassionally fine but the last 4 leads only one responded. Any suggestions?

    Why I'm I not given a specific reason for denying my request for refund?
    It is not fair to be charged when a person that request my services never looks at my quote or does not respond to texts and will not answer the phone. This was not done in good faith and I should not be charged for it.

    Thumbtack Lead Prices Exorbitant
    Over the last 6 months, Thumback has raised lead prices by 50% and allows for far too much competition. I'm on the brink of going out of business, spending thoursands of dollars per month. Is this common?
