The recovery queue needs consistency without slowing the homeowners already waiting.
Faster routing protects response time, while stricter checks protect the quality of each homeowner handoff.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I already explained the issue yesterday, and now I’m being asked to start over.”
Esperanza Moreira · Homeowner
A homeowner trying to recover a project after a professional stopped responding.
What is at stake
Repeat contacts have reached 18% for recovery cases even when the first response met SLA. You have to weigh faster routing against the checks that keep homeowners from being passed around.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- faster routing vs. verified case quality
- repeat-contact reduction vs. SLA protection
- configuration scope vs. durable operating controls
- staffing certainty vs. late workflow changes
Why Thumbtack
Homeowner recovery cases sit directly between a stalled project and a completed hire of a local professional.
