What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, we are long time members of this community, and we’d love to share a new product we’re launching today called Text-a-Pro. The product is entirely messaging based, and allows homeowners to book trusted pros at flat-rate prices to get their home improvement projects done. We’re also the first to provide an end-to-end transaction on Facebook Messenger (and also by texting 776-776). We’ve built a lot of tech behind the scenes for this – including generating dynamic images at run-time for things like personalized estimates and pro recommendations. Our pricing engine is built on a canonical home project catalog and generates personalized prices based on your location and project description. This product is only available in SF/Seattle right now. You can see a video of the end to end experience here: https://vimeo.com/141591093 And more product info here: https://pro.com/text If you have any questions about the tech or product feedback/ideas, we’d love to chat!
