Porch Rebuild

Measured before it's built

Every dimension checked before a single board goes down. Dead level is the standard, not the goal.

What We Build

Exterior carpentry, handled the right way.

From a full deck rebuild to finish carpentry and year-round property care — same care, same communication, no matter the size.

SCOPE / 01

Deck & Porch Construction

Small repairs → full builds

Full builds and complete rebuilds — pressure-treated framing, composite decking, custom railings.

  • New deck & porch construction
  • Full rebuilds & replacements
  • Composite & hardwood decking
  • Custom railing systems
SCOPE / 02

Finish Carpentry

Single rooms → whole-home trim

The detail work that separates a good job from a great one. Tight joints, clean lines, no shortcuts.

  • Trim work & molding
  • Custom built-ins & shelving
  • Doors, casings & hardware
  • Interior & exterior finish work
SCOPE / 03

Rot Repair & Exterior Renovation

Contained repairs → full exteriors

We fix problems at the source — not with a patch that fails in six months.

  • Water damage & rot removal
  • Siding & trim replacement
  • Structural exterior repairs
  • Window & door surrounds
SCOPE / 04

Property Care

One visit → year-round care

Built for second homes and estates — the person checking the house is the builder who fixes it.

  • Seasonal opening & closing
  • While-you're-away checks & photo reports
  • Arrival-ready punch lists
  • Storm & urgent response

Meet the Owner

You're working with me — not a middleman.

"Who better to look after your house than someone who's built them — excavation to finish carpentry — and spent two years inside a structural engineering firm learning exactly how they fail?"

I started Summit Home Solutions because I saw how often homeowners got burned — by contractors who didn't show up, didn't communicate, and didn't take pride in the work.

Today most of my work is on high-end second homes in Becket and the southern Berkshires — custom stair and railing rebuilds, fencing systems, door refurbishment, and the seasonal care that keeps a house standing between visits. The standard doesn't change with the size of the job.

Every project I take on, I'm the one showing up, doing the work, and making sure it's done right. You'll have my number. I'll call you back. And when the job is done, the workspace is clean and you're satisfied — that's the standard, every single job.

If you've had a hard time finding someone reliable, I get it. That's exactly why I built this business the way I did.

Matthew V. Pinto
Owner & Operator, Summit Home Solutions
~2011

Lawn care & landscaping — owner

Started with a push mower and recurring accounts before he had a driver's license. Learned scheduling, customers, and what a promise costs.

Nearly a decade

Green Flow — founder & operator

Grew a lawn-care operation into a multi-service property and construction company — excavation, remodeling, additions, five new residential builds, 25 field personnel at peak. Owned everything from pricing to payroll.

2022–2024

Axiom Structural Engineering — VP of Sales

Two years inside a Florida structural-engineering firm serving contractors and homeowners. The role grew into operations and capacity planning — and into knowing exactly how buildings fail, and how jobs fall apart before a tool is picked up.

2024

Back north, back on the tools

Returned to the Northeast and built alongside a carpentry partner of ten years — both trained under a master carpenter with 45 years in the trade.

Today

Summit Home Solutions — owner & operator

Exterior carpentry and property care across the Berkshires, with estate work in Becket and the southern towns. Every project personally owned from first call to final cleanup.
