The Difference

Home watch tells you what's wrong. We fix it.

Inspection services walk your property, photograph the rotted post or the leaking sill, and send you a report. Then you still need a contractor. Summit closes that loop — the person checking your home is the carpenter who repairs it.

📋

A typical home watch

Visual checks and a checklist. Problems get documented, then referred out to whichever contractor picks up the phone — someone you've never met, on their timeline.

🔨

Summit property care

The same trained eyes — attached to the hands that do the work. Issues found on a visit get scoped, priced, and fixed by the same insured contractor, usually before your next arrival.

What We Handle

Everything a house needs when you're not there.

And when you are. From seasonal turnover to finish carpentry — same care, same communication, one number.

CARE / 01

Seasonal Opening & Closing

Spring openings → winter button-ups

Opened for the season properly. Buttoned up tight before the freeze.

  • Water systems & winterization checks
  • Screens, storms & furniture
  • Decks, docks & outdoor structures
CARE / 02

Repairs & Finish Carpentry

Sticky doors → full rebuilds

Repaired to match, not patched to get by. High-end finish work is the standard.

  • Fencing, decks, stairs & railings
  • Doors, windows, screens & trim
  • Rot fixed at the source
CARE / 03

Arrival-Ready Punch Lists

Send the list → pull in to it done

Everything handled before you drive up from the city.

  • The sticky slider, the loose rail
  • The screen the cleaners lost
  • Scoped, fixed & photographed
CARE / 04

While-You're-Away Checks

Weekly → monthly walkthroughs

You'll never wonder what's happening at the house.

  • Interior & exterior walkthroughs
  • Photo report to your phone, every visit
  • Issues flagged with honest recommendations
CARE / 05

Storm & Urgent Response

Assessment → property secured

A local call who answers and shows up.

  • Wind, tree & water damage assessment
  • Same-day securing of the property
  • Repairs scoped & scheduled fast
CARE / 06

Exterior Care & Refinishing

Single doors → whole-property refresh

The envelope kept sound and looking right.

  • Deck & fence cleaning, staining, restoration
  • Door refinishing & glass replacement
  • Window wells, screens & seasonal upkeep
The Process

Simple from the first call.

No confusion, no chasing anyone down. Here's exactly what to expect.

1

Reach out

Call, text, or fill out the form. You'll hear back within 24 hours — usually sooner.

2

Walkthrough

We walk the property together — or I walk it and send you the video. Every item documented and photographed.

3

Care plan

A clear written scope: what needs attention now, what's seasonal, what to watch. Upfront pricing, no surprises.

4

One call, forever

From then on, anything the house needs is one call or text to the same person — the owner, every time.

Who We Work With

Built for owners who aren't always here.

Based in West Stockbridge — serving Becket, Otis, Stockbridge, Lenox, Lee, Monterey, Tyringham, Alford, Great Barrington, Egremont & Richmond.

🏔️

Second-home owners

Your primary life is in the city; your Berkshire house shouldn't be a second job. One trusted local contact, total accountability.

🔑

Short-term rental operators

Fast turnaround on guest-caused wear and safety items, so a maintenance issue never costs you a booking or a review.

🌲

Estates & family properties

Larger properties with standing seasonal routines — fences, outbuildings, courts, and grounds structures maintained on a schedule.

📸

Every owner, every visit

A photo report to your phone after each visit. You see what I saw, what I did, and what's next — whether you're in Becket or Brooklyn.

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
