Citiworkers: Home Services
How does the booking calendar work in Citiworkers?
The booking calendar shows you real-time availability for each service pro, so you can see exactly when they are free. You can filter by date, like "Today" or "Tomorrow," and book a slot directly in the app without any back-and-forth phone calls.
Can I send photos or messages to the service pro before they arrive?
Yes, the app has a built-in chat where you can send pictures and describe the problem ahead of time. This helps the pro bring the right tools or parts, like a specific washer for a faucet repair, so the job goes faster once they show up.
What should I do if only a few pros show up for my job in my area?
For less common tasks like ceiling fan installation, the available pros might be limited and their next slots could be a week out. Try broadening your search by checking nearby zip codes or scheduling a few days in advance to get more options.
Is there a way to call the service pro directly through the app without sharing my personal number?
Currently, the app only offers in-app messaging, so you have to use your regular phone app to call the pro if you prefer talking. This means your personal number gets shared, which some users find a bit clunky.
How does Citiworkers compare to other handyman apps like Thumbtack?
Unlike some apps that are cluttered with spammy messages and fake reviews, Citiworkers keeps things clean and straightforward with real-time booking and transparent ratings. However, it may have fewer pros for niche jobs compared to larger competitors, so it's best for common repairs like plumbing or appliance fixes.
