Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of Pricing Should I Expect?
Handy Squad Handyman Masters have 5-10 years of experience but are new to Thumbtack. We want to create a large database of Thumbtack customers. That is why our prices are temporarily lower than those of our competitors. We offer limited time discounts as we want more new clients to be interested in our new Thumbtack account.
We have a standard pricing algorithm for each service. Pricing depends on factors such as TV size, type of mount needed, wall type, need to hide wires in the wall or not, etc.
