## The honest read

H.A.Y Home Auto Yard is a Forestdale, Massachusetts handyman business run by an owner customers know as Dustin, hired across the Cape for everything from window and siding work to full bathroom remodels and yard clean-up.

The reviews on file are consistently strong. One homeowner brought Dustin in to swap two windows and add trim and siding, then expanded the job mid-stream to include a new toilet and tile and grout work — all finished on schedule and, notably, under the original budget. Another reviewer called a full bathroom remodel exceptional and said Dustin also repaired their malfunctioning washing machine on the spot, free of charge, after two other handymen couldn't fix it. A front walkway repair drew praise for being done correctly the first time, and a leaf clean-up job was completed on schedule with no issues.

Several reviews name Dustin personally and describe a standing relationship — one customer said in a 2022 review that they'd known and used his work for three years — pointing to a small, owner-operated shop rather than a crew-based outfit. Every review on file is five stars, spanning late 2022 through March 2025, all on Google.

For Upper and Mid-Cape homeowners who want a reliable all-purpose handyman willing to take on modest plumbing, carpentry, and remodeling tasks in the same visit, H.A.Y's small but consistently positive track record is worth a call — confirm current pricing and scheduling directly given the owner-run scale of the operation.

**Strengths:**
- Fair, on-budget pricing — reviewer said added scope stayed under budget
- Owner-led craftsmanship — Dustin personally redid a walkway to correct results
- Free extra help — fixed a customer's washing machine at no charge
- Reliable scheduling — arrived on time for a scheduled leaf clean-up
- Consistent five-star record — eight Google reviews from 2022 through 2025
