T Sheehan,

Jim did a complete inspection while walking us around to point out the many things that were never done prior to his superb exterior work. The important areas on the house like corners post, siding corners/joints, window seams, door seams. He also explained why our paint did not last more than four years. As we had seen Jim's crew work there magic bringing our house back from embarrassment to being proud to show all our friends!
We had wished we hired Creative Home Designs the first time!

Super excellent professional work!
We recommend Jim's company

I've used Thumbtack.com with great success.

Yes, there are "customers" who use it and don't know what they're doing and you lose money in sending them a bid, and many of these "customers" are also expecting "something for nothing", but overall I'd have to say that in the end I've made more than enough to cover my bidding costs.

You should note, however, what the specific bids will cost you as some jobs are not aligned properly - i. E. it costs me more to bid on a job to paint a room than it does for lawncare, and yet I actually make more money on a lawncare job. I just don't bid on painting jobs; and if you're in a position where you're looking at something that Thumbtack.com doesn't have aligned right you'll just lose out (i. E. guitar lessons, etc.)

Kathryn was not only very personable, a pleasure to work with, she is an incredible visually talented designer.We worked as a team which she preferred and re-designed and re-purposed my courtyard located on the side of my house. Kathryn always consulted and made suggestions to me before making any changes. She moved outdoor table and chairs in to a much more functioning area of the courtyard and painted all of the furniture, which was rusting, a pretty off white. She place a small decorative column as as a center piece for the rounded patio table and placed a small potted plant on to it. Then she surrounded the column with vibrant, colorful candles in little tin painted bucket-like holders. She re-organized placement of potted plants and put them in both better visual and a more flowing pathway to walk through. Along the wooden fence she hung a warm white string of lighting which added a relaxing mode. She also re-purposed some cement, mosaic tiles I had made a long time ago and had laying around, and she created a stepping stone path leading up to the front gate of the courtyard. She actually found numerous art pieces that were not being used for anything. Kathryn managed to clean them all up and displayed them my hanging them in various spaces of the surrounding wooden fence. She also found random white shells, cleaned them up and made a really pretty group display with those too. More hanging plants were added along with some tactful solar lighting and we have a very comfortable added space to spend time at our home now, thanks to Kathryn.

If I could have given them a lower score I would have. This web based company is the biggest joke ever. After signing up and going though all the motions I began receiving "leads" Turns out not one of them bothered to respond, actually only 2 out of the 8 leads opened my bid. I then started researching things. Before I knew it I was reading over hundreds of negative reviews/complaints about this company. They have over 150 complaints at the BBB, all over their Facebook page etc. I would strongly suggest to anyone interested in doing business with them to do your homework.

I think this web site has a good idea of ​​how to do business, but they are focused on their behalf and the end user which most of the times are curiosities they have about prices from businesses and individuals who provide services, the problem is when businesses pay tumbtack, tumbtack informs the client and open communication between the two, if the client decides for one company, others end up paying without results and I think it's not fair, I think thumbtack should charge a higher fee only to those who wins the contract and charge little or no charge who gains nothing but notifications to push them to buy credits.

I joined this site in hopes of better my business as photographer. At first i thought the site as great until i realized you cannot contact any of jobs being requested in your area they make sure to hide all contact information. As a result you pay $8.99 for 5 credits to send a quote to the costumer who seems interested in your services. You lose money on buying credits for quotes for leads they send you.
The site is rip off and should be reported to the BBB.
