Mendez Contractor Inc

Mendez Contractor Inc works out of Lynn, and the clearest picture of the company comes from two very different accounts — a homeowner who hired them twice, and a neighbor who never hired them at all. The company says it has been delivering construction services for over 15 years, and its site puts roofing, siding, framing, remodeling, additions and demolition all under one roof, with Lynn as the stated service area. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. BBB grades it A+ and files it as a residential general contractor, though not as an accredited business. The written history is short and it stops in 2023. Four reviews sit on file, three of them positive: a 2023 homeowner described an extensive, complicated condo kitchen renovation and then brought the company back to install a new front door; reviewers in 2021 and 2023 kept landing on the same two words about Walter Mendez and his crew — honest, hard working. Google's average is 4.4 across seven ratings. The sharp note came in July 2021, from someone living next to a building the crew was re-roofing: they reported damage to their car and said roofers on the slate roof strapped foam board to it without permission or notice. That is a five-year-old account, and it is not about workmanship on a job they were hired for — but it is specific, and it is about how the crew treated the space around the site. If you are weighing them for a roof or a remodel, this is a small, owner-forward outfit with a real but thin and now-dated history behind it. Ask how they protect what is next to the job — driveways, cars, neighbors — before the trucks arrive, and ask them to square the over-15-years claim on their site with the 10 years BBB lists.
