AB Mendez Masonry & Landscaping

AB Mendez Masonry & Landscaping works out of Lynn, and masonry is where it says it started: Anibel Mendez founded the company doing residential stonework, and it now lists patios, retaining walls, chimney repair, fencing, landscaping, tree work, drainage, driveways, deck remodeling, exterior painting and winter plowing across the North Shore and into Southern New Hampshire. It describes itself as family-owned and locally operated, and its Angi listing notes "Se habla espanol". Nothing written by a customer sits behind any of that yet. The Angi page is new and carries no reviews there or on HomeAdvisor, so everything above is the company's own account of itself. It says it holds Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and carries insurance in both states, but no registration number appears anywhere and nothing has been checked against the state registry. One thing to reconcile before hiring: the company's own site says over a decade in business, while its Angi listing says five years of experience. Ask which is right, ask for the HIC registration number and current certificates of insurance, and ask for two or three recent North Shore addresses you can call.
