# Mendi Works **Trade:** Fencing · **Languages:** English, Spanish **Rating: 3.7/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 4 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Mendi Works is a one-person, veteran-owned handyman and carpentry shop based in Salem, New Hampshire, taking on repair and finish-carpentry jobs around the house. Reviews are uniformly positive: Thumbtack, Angi, and HomeAdvisor each show a perfect 5.0 average, adding up to 49 ratings across the three platforms. In 2026 reviews, customers described a rebuilt and stained deck, repaired brick front steps, and repainted trim, with quick responses and fair pricing; a May 2026 review described new bedroom doors, added trim, and a finished hardwood-floor perimeter with baseboards. In 2025 reviews, customers cited fast turnaround and clear communication on handyman jobs. The reviews themselves name different people — Chanoa, Noa, and Mendi — for what the platforms describe as a single-person operation, so it's worth asking who will actually be on site. Fencing also shows up differently across platforms: Angi and HomeAdvisor list it and point to a review describing a fence build, while Thumbtack's own service list does not include it. It's a strong call for handyman-scale carpentry, repair, and finish work — confirm who's doing the job, and if a fence is the project, ask to see that specific work directly. **Strengths:** - Deck and trim repairs — praised in 2026 Thumbtack reviews - Fast, clear communication — cited across 2025 and 2026 reviews - Perfect review record — 5.0 across Thumbtack, Angi, and HomeAdvisor - Veteran-owned — self-reported on Angi and HomeAdvisor **Concerns:** - Different names in reviews — Chanoa, Noa, and Mendi each described - Fencing listed inconsistently — on Angi and HomeAdvisor, not Thumbtack **Where sources disagree:** - Angi and HomeAdvisor list fencing among its services and note a review describing a fence build; Thumbtack's own listed services do not include fencing - Reviews use three different first names — Chanoa, Noa, and Mendi — for what the platforms describe as the same one-person business ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A one-person, veteran-owned handyman and carpentry business based in Salem, New Hampshire _(confidence: high)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/nh/salem/handyman/mendi-works-handyman-services/service/554064172016508938?spotlightWebMarkupEnabled=1) — “Thumbtack profile for Mendi Works Handyman Services in Salem, NH.
