Our Takl Review
What is Takl
The Takl app set about making chores a thing of the past. Takl is a service that matches customers with a handy man. The Takl app is not only beautiful but very simple to use. The handymen are all professionals and go through full background checks. And the best part is the costs are pre-priced and clear.
The long list of Takl Services
Lets say a customer needed to add some caulking around the edge of their sink. The First step is to create a Takl account and pick a task. (Make sure use our Takl Promo code C2A74 to get 10% off when you create your account.) They would select handyman from the list. Then they would pick caulking, followed by caulk a sink or toilet.
The Takl app says that it would cost $50 to caulk two fixtures which anyone who has hired work knows is a good deal. The customer would then add their address. They can choose to have the handyman come now or at a scheduled time. For our Takl Review lets assume the customer selects that they want the Takl provider to come now. This option means that the worker would arrive in the next hour.
It also prompts customers to upload some photos so that the provider knew what he/she was going to be working on with our job. Entered your credit card info and use our Takl Promo Code C2A74 to get 10% off your first chore at this step!
Choosing the right Takl Provider
After pressing submit, the customers will see a list of Takl providers. Takl says they provide up to three handymen or women for each job. Each provider been through a background check and has reviews next to their name. The provider should arrive in under an hour and complete the job.
It is pretty amazing knowing that someone can fix your sink in less than an hour. If the provider does a great job, give him/her a 5-star rating and a good tip. We would love to hear about your experience in our Takl Review comments section

I ASM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DO HOUSE CLEANINGON A MONTHLY OR SEMI MONTHLY BASIS. OCCASIONLY WOULD NEED TO CLEAN WINDOWS
I recommend downloading the takl app from the iPhone or Andriod store and signing up for an account. Make sure to use the Takl Coupon C2A74 to get 10% Off your home cleaning.
I’m looking for someone to clean my gutters in Roswell Georgia but description says “ground level” gutters only. Not exactly sure what that means but if the gutters were ground level, I could clean them myself.
I’m pretty sure that means gutters on a one story house only. I am guessing they don’t have a ladder or insurance needed to do the gutters on a two story house.
I am looking for someone to put up curtains and curtain rods on 3 windows.

Hi Harold,
Please head to https://takl.com/provider/ to sign up to work for Takl.
As a provider I have to fork over 30% of any price I decide. Which is not worth it as a laborer. My margins are not large enough to absorb this hit. 30% is too much
Takl is another example of the tech elite taking advantage of the worker. Takl takes a 30% fee for their trouble . That’s $30.00 of every hundred billed by a provider. That’s higher than uber higher than an agent in Hollywood higher than just about any other app I can think of.. it’s a rip off for the working Man or woman!!!!
I totally agree that Takl is 100% taking advantage of the handyman type workforce! 1. They want to much % cut (Greed) 2. They want to handle the payments. (Intrusive) 3. The customer can see where you are on the phone by using GPS. (Intrusive) 4. They pre price the work!!?? (It’s not a cookie cutter world) 5. The owner relates himself to being a “mini-Trump!! 6. It’s on-demand and the provider has to be there within an hr!? ( That’s basically like having employees on call but using them as sub contractors) It’s completely intrusive upon the relationship between the customer and provider….it’s like a dating site where the site wants to control what happens in your relationship after they connect you.
Are the workers bonded and insured? I am in the D.C. area.
We are reaching out to Takl to ask.
Why is takl not in northern California? I would sign up if it were in my region – or close to me.
Takl is currently spreading across the US. As soon as they are in Northern California we will update our information.
