Horrible experience as a homeowner looking for estimate
As a homeowner looking for a concrete contractor to build out a small slab for a shed, I decided to give Thumbtack a try. I reviewed several contractors, selected one that sounded good, and reached out to (what I thought) was that single contractor to get an estimate for the work. Not only did that contractor never respond, but instead, dozens of others have inundated me like car salesmen on a used car lot. I've been spammed, texted, incessantly called to the point where I've had to turn my phone off to avoid interruptions at work. And they're mostly pushy call center people that still call again and again even when I tell them to stop. One inquiry has turned into a nightmare. I didn't sign up to be harassed like this. I thought, and the platform seemed to indicate, I was agreeing to talk to one contractor, not sign up to be harassed by dozens. Never, ever use this service. It's a joke.
