Anyone tried help through Task Rabbit?

Was your contractor competent and safe?

I have a very simple job: hang the boards I bought and painted in a cavity - to become shelving area.

Thanks for sharing.

we hired them for a light plumbing job (replacing an existing faucet). The guy was highly rated but it went horribly wrong (took the guy 4 hours, he had to go to home depot and then I actually got a refund from Task Rabbit and a credit for a real plumber - about $400 total.)

I would use Task Rabbit for a menial task (line holding, etc.) but not for a plumbing job again.

I used it for some yard work and was pleased. Check the reviews of the people who come up as options. The person I used had great reviews and did a great job.

I've worked for two bosses who have used Task Rabbit. Then I used it for one task. It went really well in all three instances. They hired people to do administrative tasks, to help with a move, to haul junk to the dump, etc. I hired someone to pick up something fragile from me at the office, and deliver it to someone at their house.
