# D. L. O'Neill Carpentry **Trade:** Carpentry · **Address:** 351 Megan Rd, Hyannis, MA 02601 · **Phone:** (508) 737-3719 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.6/5** (low confidence) — from 0 reviews across 2 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low. ## The honest read D. L. O'Neill Carpentry is a one-man carpentry business run by Daniel O'Neill out of Megan Road in Hyannis, working across the mid and lower Cape. The Massachusetts registry verifies Home Improvement Contractor registration 168722 as active in his own name. The permit record is the substance here. Fourteen permitted projects between 2016 and 2024 place him in Harwich Port, Yarmouth Port, South Yarmouth, East Dennis, Chatham, Centerville and Cotuit. Most are window and door replacements - Andersen and Harvey units, like-for-like awning windows, entry doors - but the file also carries a 16 x 20 deck, a 14 x 16 screened porch, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and two large whole-house renovations on one Harwich Port property valued at $250,000 and $275,000. That mix is worth reading carefully: he handles small measured jobs and, at least on repeat clients' houses, full renovations. Several permits recur at the same addresses over multiple years, which is what repeat work looks like in a permit file. What is missing is customer voice. No review site on file carries a single review of this business - BuildZoom says so plainly - and the only open-web mention is an October 2024 Reddit comment in an Upper Cape contractor thread that passed on his Instagram handle from memory. Its author was recommending him without the phone number to hand, and said nothing about a specific job. Worth asking about before booking: ask for references from jobs the size of yours, and note that the permit trail is strongest on windows, doors and decks rather than whole-house work. A good fit for a Cape homeowner who wants a licensed carpenter for windows, doors, decks or porches and is willing to check references themselves. **Strengths:** - Verified registration — active Massachusetts HIC in the owner's name - Windows and doors — the trade the permit file documents most - Repeat clients — multiple permits at the same addresses over years - Whole-house scope — two Harwich Port renovations above $250,000 - Mid-Cape reach — permits in seven towns from Chatham to Centerville **Concerns:** - No reviews — no customer account published on any source - Small operation — permit file names one owner and no crew - Unverified specialties — cabinets and framing rest on a directory list **Where sources disagree:** - The BuildZoom score of 98 is permit-derived and must never be read as customer sentiment; the same page states BuildZoom has received no reviews for this contractor at all. - The Reddit mention names the business only by Instagram handle, and its author explicitly says they no longer have the contractor's phone number - identity here rests on the handle matching the business's own account, not on the commenter's detail. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration 168722 is registry-verified active, held in the name Daniel O'Neill. _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 168722 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: DANIEL O'NEILL” - Building permit records show 14 permitted projects between 2016 and 2024 across Harwich Port, Yarmouth Port, South Yarmouth, East Dennis, Chatham, Centerville and Cotuit. _(confidence: high)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/dan-l-oneill-carpentry) — “14 project(s) shown on BuildZoom” - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/dan-l-oneill-carpentry) — “BuildZoom permit-history profile for Dan L.
