If you’ve ever found yourself face-to-face with a home project, not sure what to do next, Thumbtack sees you. Owning a home can be one of life’s great joys, but it’s not always easy. Whether you’re short on time, skills, or confidence, a feeling of uncertainty can leave you stuck on all kinds of home projects, big and small. It’s our job to help you get un-stuck.
Our latest video ads feature classic home standoffs: a cluttered-to-the-ceiling two-car garage; the aftermath of an amped-up seven-year-old’s birthday party; a circuit breaker box you’d need a cryptography degree to decipher.
As the only app a homeowner needs to take care of their home, Thumbtack is designed for scenarios like these. By making it clear what to do, when to do it, and who to hire, we take you from uncertainty to confidence.
Homeowners often don’t know exactly what needs to be done around the house, and don’t know how much it’ll cost, or who’s the best professional to hire. Even after you manage to find a pro, you may not know if they’re right for the job, or how long it’ll take to finish the work. Thumbtack is the solution for that uncertainty. We can help homeowners know what needs to get done and connect them to the right professional to get the job done.
The Circuit Breaker
Does any homeowner feel confident about the mysteries of their circuit breaker box? Between the layers of peeling labels and the indecipherable notes scribbled inside the door, even a minor fix can feel too risky to attempt. For a Thumbtack electrician, it’s as simple as A-B-C.
Clean-up at High Noon
Setting up a child’s birthday party can feel like a lot of work — but it’s nothing compared to the aftermath. From mystery stains and discarded decorations to the dreaded glitter infestation, it’s the kind of mess that leaves parents crying out for professional help. Which, in this case, comes via a Thumbtack house cleaner.
The Decluttering
Before you open the garage, you might be thinking you’re just an hour of work and a trash bag or two away from parking inside again. But the minute you raise the door, that estimate soars — and your confidence plummets. Fortunately, a Thumbtack junk removal pro is just a few taps away.
In any kind of home project standoff, the key to getting unstuck is having a clear path forward. When you know you can hire the right pro on Thumbtack, uncertainty turns to confidence — and home projects get done.
