Our employees get to take advantage of our Thumbtack Bucks benefit where they get reimbursed for hiring pros on Thumbtack — and we love to see their finished projects. Lasya Boddapati (she/her), Android and iOS Software Engineer, recently hired two pros to brighten up her space. “I hired Perfect Match Painting to paint my entire condo including 3 accent walls. I also hired FixTman LLC. to do several handyman jobs including TV mounting, headboard mounting and a gallery wall in the living room. I love being able to talk directly with the pros to discuss the project in detail. I tried several platforms at the same time to hire interior painters and Thumbtack was the most seamless experience by far!”
