# The Guy **Trade:** Handyman · **Address:** 21 Barry Ln, South Dennis, MA 02660 · **Phone:** (440) 799-2209 · **Website:** https://www.facebook.com/TheGuyBobLong/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.0/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 2 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read The Guy is a South Dennis handyman whose dated Google reviews identify Bob as the operator. Google currently shows a 5-star average from 17 ratings, while the five written accounts available here were posted from 2017 through 2019. Those older homeowners repeatedly praised responsive communication, fair pricing, and small home repairs. In a 2019 review, a Chatham rental owner said Bob handled issues promptly; another 2019 customer described deck and interior repairs, and a same-day shingle repair that also caught loose shingles and an attic leak. The visible written record is positive but not recent, so confirm current scheduling, scope, and pricing before booking. The business has no first-party website evidence in this scan, and the available comments should be read as a dated track record rather than proof of current operations. **Strengths:** - Responsive home repairs — dated customers describe prompt service and clear scheduling - Fair, reliable work — older reviews consistently praise pricing, professionalism, and follow-through **Concerns:** - Dated written record — all five readable reviews were posted from 2017 to 2019 - Current scope unverified — no first-party website evidence was available in this scan ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Google shows a 5-star average from 17 ratings. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=The%20Guy&query_place_id=ChIJqctJ69s4-4kRvoaQPvkERvU) — “Google: 5★ from 17 ratings” - Dated customers described general home repairs, including deck and interior work. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://maps.google.com/?cid=17673819256205117118&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “5★ We needed work done at our Cape house.
