M&E IRRIGATION&HARDSCAPING

M&E Irrigation & Hardscaping is a Lynn, MA outfit built around sprinkler and irrigation work — installs, repairs, and the seasonal rhythm of spring turn-ons and fall winterizations. Its Thumbtack profile lists 18 years in business and credits owner Ever Mendez Chavez, with 135 projects logged on the platform. The clearest picture of what customers actually experience comes from five Thumbtack reviews spanning 2023 to mid-2024. They tell a consistent story: fast turnaround, often same-day, and a technician who explains the problem before fixing it. One customer whose old system needed diagnosing called him someone who was 'obviously not his first rodeo,' and another said he tracked down every leak on a failing system and fixed them on the spot. On Thumbtack overall the business holds a 4.7-star average across 102 ratings. A single, sharply worded Google review from April 2026 cuts against that picture. It accuses the business of poor-quality work and inflated claims of experience, naming the person involved as 'Moises' and describing only three years on the job — a different name and a much shorter tenure than the Thumbtack profile's Ever Mendez Chavez and 18 years. That gap is worth asking about directly before booking: who would actually be showing up for the work. Given that discrepancy, a homeowner is best served pinning down specifics upfront — who's doing the job, and, since M&E's reputation rests on the seasonal irrigation work its Thumbtack reviewers describe, a look at recent examples of similar sprinkler repairs or installs.
