Need a plumber, an electrician or an HVAC contractor in Texas? Tell Tack On what's wrong, and pros near you who do that work can say they're interested. You choose who comes out. HOW IT WORKS β’ Pick the trade and describe the problem. Add up to 5 photos if they help. β’ Tell us when you need someone: as soon as possible, today, or a time that suits you. β’ Pros nearby see the job and its general area, never your address or phone number. β’ Up to 3 interested pros show up on your request with their checks, how far away they are and their service call fee. β’ You pick one. Only that pro gets your address and phone number. β’ Message your pro in the app. WHAT WE CHECK β’ Texas licenses and registrations against state records (TDLR and the plumbing board), with the date we last checked. β’ ID checks through Stripe. β’ For HVAC companies, liability insurance confirmed with the insurance agency. Each pro's card shows which checks apply to them. We don't guarantee anyone's work. FREE FOR HOMEOWNERS Sending a request costs you nothing. You agree the job and the price directly with your pro. YOUR INFORMATION β’ Your address and phone number go only to the pro you pick. β’ Photos are stored privately, and we remove location and camera details from them. β’ Block or report anyone in a conversation. β’ Delete your account in the app or at tackon.io/account. Tack On is starting in Texas, with plumbing, electrical and HVAC for homes, apartments and condos, and businesses. Tack On is not an emergency service. If anyone is in danger, call 911.
