Unbelievable nightmare with Thumbtack
Unbelievable nightmare. 1st hire Tyler Smith, to upgrade master bathroom, he lied, didn't disclose (so lied by omission as well as commission) bathroom ended up costing over $25,000. Doesn't even have a tub. Failed to disclose things such as upcharging, that he and his 2 "christian" colleagues were charging me $100/hour/each. That's $300/ hour. I'm a disabled veteran and on a fixed income. He actually continued to refuse to not only provide receipts but even the stores he was buying things for my bathroom and master bedroom flooring. For example he charged me $1500.00 for bedroom flooring. I finally found it myself, it was $754.00 so he upcharged 100%. When he and his colleagues were drilling in my bathroom I became very ill, I developed a long never ending dry cough. My girl, my diva died and Tyler Smith killed her and almost put me in the hospital. He didn't think to turn off ac or tell us to leave or in any way protect me and my beloved dogs. I was nothing but kind and very foolishly trusting. He ripped me off by about $10,000 easily. I would never recommend him, except to enemies. Thumbtack will take no responsibility and has made it clear that they DO NOT VET ANYONE ON THUMBTACKS SITE. My 2nd experience, terrible. Handyman Ted assembled 1 small piece of furniture for $120. His girlfriend was committing some bizarre sex acts on her phone in my driveway while he was taking forever to put this 1 piece together. He then said he would take my ergonomic rocker recliner home to put together. We'll he's stolen it and refuses to return it. It's been 2 weeks dealing with him and then THUMBTACK. THUMBTACK REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. Because, again they state that they aren't responsible for anyone on their site.
