## The honest read

Jay's Clean-Up is the Stoughton, MA outfit homeowners call to clear out what's overwhelming a garage, attic, or yard — brush piles, old appliances, construction debris, whatever's left after a move. Owner Jason Martin says the company has 13 years in business and now covers ground from New Hampshire down through southeastern Massachusetts.

Thumbtack customers writing between 2014 and 2016 kept coming back to the same two things: he shows up when he says he will, and he explains what he's doing. In a 2016 review, a customer described him hauling a sectional sofa bed out of a 150-year-old house through narrow doors and hallways without trouble. Another, from 2014, singled out his communication specifically, calling it "a rare find in this field." Thumbtack's own numbers track that pattern — a 4.9-star average across 166 ratings, and Top Pro status every year from 2016 through 2021.

One thing worth asking about upfront: in a 2016 review, a customer said the job grew beyond what was first quoted — extra items pulled from two different addresses — and felt the final price wasn't great, even though Jay agreed to take on the extra work. Worth pinning down scope and price before the truck shows up if your job might expand mid-visit.

For a straightforward clean-out — junk, yard debris, an old fridge headed to the curb — this is a shop with a long, mostly positive track record and a reputation for punctuality. The written reviews on file run 2014–2016, so it's worth confirming current pricing and service area before booking.

**Strengths:**
- On-time arrivals — reviewers across several jobs note punctuality
- Clear communication — called out as rare in this trade
- Tough hauls — moved a sofa bed through a 150-year-old home's narrow halls

**Concerns:**
- Added-item pricing — one 2016 review said a growing job's price wasn't great
