Mendez Irrigation Corp

Mendez Irrigation is a Lynn-based sprinkler and irrigation contractor built around owner Juan Mendez, who by his own account has 18 years in the trade and is on every job himself. Reviews across four different platforms — Google, HomeAdvisor, Angi, and Thumbtack — put the average consistently between 4.6 and 4.9 stars, drawn from hundreds of jobs. The specifics in the reviews explain the volume. Customers describe full sprinkler-system installs on yards ranging from straightforward lots to a 7,500-square-foot property with a dozen zones on sloped, irregular ground, priced competitively and finished on schedule. Just as often, the calls are for repairs — a leaking irrigation line and control box fixed within hours of a same-day call, damaged sprinkler heads replaced quickly, a spring startup after another contractor's gas-line work had damaged a system. Reviewers across the years single out Juan personally for showing up, explaining how each zone works, and adjusting heads so water lands on the lawn instead of the driveway. The record isn't spotless, though, and the exceptions are worth knowing. A May 2026 review described a scheduled estimate where no one showed up. Two older reviews, from 2022 and 2023, each described a drop-off after an initial good repair — a zone that stopped working after a winterization, and a customer who said the follow-up service didn't match the company's reputation. A November 2025 reviewer said they still hadn't received a receipt after three requests despite otherwise being satisfied with the work. None of that erases the broader pattern: recent activity alone brought 18 reviews in the last six months with only one negative, and the specific, repeated praise for Juan's hands-on approach and fair pricing runs consistently from 2024 into this year. For a new irrigation system, a seasonal startup or shutdown, or a repair, Mendez has a deep and mostly excellent track record — just confirm your appointment window is firm, and ask for a receipt at time of payment.
