The Modern Moose

The Modern Moose is a one-person handyman operation based in East Wareham, and its written record — five Google reviews, all from 2020 and 2021 — splits sharply between customers who got a fast, well-done job and one who says they got burned. On the positive side, in 2020 reviewers described Dave showing up promptly for smaller jobs: mounting a TV, sanding and power-washing a porch at what one customer called a good price, and turning around a quote and finishing the work in a timely fashion for another. Reviewers used words like professional, punctual and friendly. That's set against a serious complaint from March 2021: a customer says the crew never showed up as promised, never finished the job, and was out $800 as a result. A separate, undetailed 2020 review calls the business scammers with no further specifics. Given the split record, ask for references and get a clear scope and price in writing before paying anything upfront.
