TINOS Inc. Decks, Siding, Gutter, Painting and Carpentry

TINOS is a family-run outfit out of Lynn that's been doing decks, siding, gutters, painting and carpentry across the North Shore and Boston area for about 20 years, and the same two names keep showing up across the reviews: Dario and Jose, the foremen who reviewers credit with keeping projects on track and homeowners in the loop. The range of work is real: reviewers describe a full exterior renovation of a pre-war colonial in Marblehead — cedar shake, corner boards, fascia, gutters, the works — alongside smaller jobs like repainting kitchen cabinets and rebuilding a rotted porch ceiling. Decks come up again and again, from a wraparound deck replacement to a Trex deck with cable railing to a straightforward backyard rebuild, with reviewers consistently calling the crew skilled, tidy and quick to communicate. On the painting side, one homeowner described the crew stripping a 100-year-old house down to bare wood before priming and finishing two coats on the trim and clapboard; another had wallpaper, popcorn ceiling and a skim coat handled in a single job. Crews show up early, work full days, and reviewers repeatedly mention a clean site at the end of each day. Getting a response isn't always as smooth as the work itself: a recent review said a requested quote never arrived, and another, from a returning customer, said follow-up quotes for more work went unanswered despite being happy with the first project. One reviewer also noted the pricing runs higher than average, even while praising the result. If you're not hearing back after an initial inquiry, it's worth following up directly rather than assuming the silence means no. With 255 Google ratings averaging 4.9 stars, a 5.0 from 52 Houzz ratings, and a BBB A+ grade, TINOS has one of the deepest track records of any deck and exterior contractor on the North Shore. For a deck build, full exterior repaint, or siding and gutter job, they're a strong call — just stay persistent if a quote takes a while to come back.
