Grateful Homes, Happy Neighbors: How Pigybak Tackles Thanksgiving Home Projects
Thanksgiving: the one time of year when your home becomes the star of the show. Whether you’re hosting family, cooking for friends, or just trying to keep the turkey from burning, your home is where the magic happens (brought to you by many last minute Thanksgiving home projects). So, let’s talk about the other thing Thanksgiving is famous for—gratitude. Specifically, gratitude for a home that doesn’t leak, squeak, or buckle under the pressure of a dozen guests.
This Thanksgiving week, we’re serving up a heaping helping of home improvement inspiration, complete with community vibes, smarter spending, and a little extra love for your neighborhood. And yes, with Pigybak, we’re making it easier than ever to turn your house into a home you’re proud to give thanks for.
Why Thanksgiving is the Perfect Time to Improve Your Home
Let’s face it: the holiday season is crunch time for your house. Between extra foot traffic, colder weather creeping in, and the annual guest room panic, there’s no better time to focus on home improvement.
Here’s why Thanksgiving is a prime opportunity:
Seasonal Repairs: Address drafty windows or squeaky doors before winter sets in.
Hosting Season: Make your home more functional and inviting for guests.
Year-End Deals: Contractors often run promotions around the holidays.
And hey, while you’re busy prepping the perfect pie, Pigybak can prep your wishlist for you.
Pigybak: Turning To-Dos Into Ta-Das
At Pigybak, we know your home improvement wishlist isn’t getting any shorter. That’s why we built a platform that makes tackling projects smarter, simpler, and—dare we say it—fun.
Here’s how it works:
- Store your wishlist for free in the Pigybak app. No more sticky notes or forgotten ideas.
- We use AI to cluster projects with your neighbors, creating group deals that save everyone money.
- We connect you with 4-star+ contractors to make your dream home a reality.
Bonus? Every group deal means fewer trips for contractors, which translates to lower emissions. Fixing your home while helping the planet? Now that’s something to be thankful for.

Your kitchen is the MVP of Thanksgiving. Minor upgrades like fixing a faucet, upgrading your backsplash, or adding storage can make a big difference in how smoothly your hosting duties run.
How Pigybak Builds Community (and Savings)
Thanksgiving isn’t just about your home—it’s about the people in it. That’s why Pigybak is built to bring communities together.
By teaming up with your neighbors, you can:
- Share contractor costs for group deals.

The Sustainability Bonus
Pigybak doesn’t just save you money—it saves the planet, too. By clustering projects with neighbors, we reduce the number of contractor trips, cutting down on emissions. In fact, each clustered job is like planting 30 trees in terms of carbon savings.
