Review:
PROS:
- Free to post profile and photographs of your work
- Contractor friendly, but not customer friendly (lawn care is a service, so it needs good customer service to get customers)
CONS:
- Fined $30, if more than three customers complain about you in a given month
- The contractor, not the site, is responsible for refunds if the client is unsatisfied with your work
- Buggy app
- Clients have complained about the app (causing them not to use it to find and use you)
- Contractor friendly, but not customer friendly (lawn care is a service, so it needs good customer service to get customers)
