The comparison screen is preserving a fast path at the cost of current appointment times.
A lightweight client refresh protects release scope, while fresh availability protects a homeowner's confidence in the pros shown.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I changed it to Saturday morning, and the same unavailable times were still staring at me.”
Joost Wagner · Homeowner
A homeowner trying to hire a professional for an urgent repair through the app.
What is at stake
Homeowners who change availability keep seeing appointment windows they already ruled out. You must weigh a focused client refresh against a service change that consumes the only release slot.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- fast client refresh vs service-level consistency
- completed selections vs release stability
- shared behavior vs narrow scope
- agent-assisted speed vs device-level verification
Why Thumbtack
The homeowner app depends on relevant local professionals being comparable at the moment an urgent project is ready to move forward.
