Pine Cone Construction Inc.

Pine Cone Construction Inc. is a Newton-area custom-home builder offering new homes, renovations, additions, and outdoor living projects across Newton, North Andover, and Martha’s Vineyard. The company says Frank Utano founded it in 1997, and its site describes custom homes built with hands-on oversight. BuildZoom lists 105 projects and a Home Improvement Contractor license reported active when last checked; Houzz lists six projects and 30-plus years of experience. BBB gives the business an A+ grade but says it is not accredited. One dated web mention requires context: Violation Tracker lists a $7,950 OSHA penalty from 2002. That is a historical workplace-safety action, not a statement about current work, but homeowners should ask any questions they have about it and confirm current license status before signing. Pine Cone is best suited to custom homes and coordinated renovations. Ask for a current scope, schedule, references, and written terms before committing.
