Started fine, then finished job myself
I employed a Thumbtack employee to paint my condo door. All was great at first...arrived on time, put full effort in the job, and I gave him cash. He said in his broken English (used his cell phone to translate) that he needed to come back the next day to finish...very little left to do...that was fine. Well, he never came back...did not respond to emails, texts, nor calls. As I thought about it afterwards, recalling things he said and he let me read his phone translations, I suspected that he was an illegal. I finished up the job. No, I will not use the service again...too risky...
