To properly identify him, his phone is ***-***-****. He informed me I needed sprinkler system repairs and that he was qualified to fix them. He ended up putting in valves backward and messing the entire system up. He cut the sprinkler lines even though it was only the drip system that needed repairs. In fact, it was only some clogged drip heads that needed to be replaced. To make matters worse, he refused to return calls after he promised to fix the problems. He kept promising to show up but then never would. This increased the problem as my lawn and plants were not being watered in the meantime. I ended up hiring a company to fix the system correctly. This increased my costs substantially as I had to pay to have the issues that he created repaired, such as putting in the valves backward and cutting the sprinkler lines. He also ordered a door for me at Home Depot and would then not cooperate in my obtaining the door even though I paid him for the door. I also provided him money to buy plants and he ended up pocketing the money and not returning it (i.e. theft). He claims to be a journeyman electrician and a skilled handyman. Nothing is further from the truth.

 

 

Matthew Mitchell provided incompetant services as a handyman and electrical contractor. He put in sprinkler valves backward and cut off the sprinkler lines altogether. He promised to repair the mess he created and then failed to show up every day. Failed to return calls and then kept the money I paid him in advance for other things as well. His phone is ***-***-**** (to make sure it is the same person). He lives in the Mesa Arizona area.
