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

Read fifty of this Lynn company's reviews and you start recognising the cast: Tino running the estimates, project managers Dario and Jose on site, Edgar leading the painters. That continuity is the point. Across 255 Google ratings averaging 4.9 and 52 Houzz ratings at a clean 5.0, the recurring line is that the crew shows up early, works the full day, and leaves the site swept. The work splits three ways — exteriors, paint, and carpentry — and the deck jobs are where the craft language comes out. One customer this spring had a rotted first-floor porch ceiling rebuilt and the entire second-floor floor, ceiling and railing replaced, finished inside the same week. Another had a pressure-treated deck demolished and rebuilt in composite with cable railing. On the painting side, a May 2026 customer had a 100-year-old house scraped and sanded to bare wood, then primed and given two finish coats on trim and cedar clapboard. Wallpaper, popcorn ceilings, skim coating, rotted trim and gutters all turn up as part of the same jobs. Price reads as fair-to-competitive rather than cheap. Several 2026 customers describe estimates in line with other local bids and quotes that flagged what could not be known up front; one reviewer in November 2025 put it more bluntly — timely work, but you pay for it. Its BBB page is an A+, listed under painting contractors. The one real snag is getting a quote at all. A June 2026 reviewer's entire one-star complaint is that no quote ever arrived, and a March 2025 customer who liked the finished work said he asked for two more estimates and never heard back. It reads like a busy shop that answers the phone unevenly, not like a workmanship problem — but it is the thing most likely to waste your time. On Reddit this March, a Salem homeowner shortlisted them as the kind of company that does the work but wanted to survey more options — about as neutral as a mention gets. The deeper written history runs back to 2018 across eight sources, with eighty accounts older than the five-year window. This is the call for a deck rebuild, an exterior repaint on an old wood house, or gutters and rotted trim handled in one pass. Pin down the estimate in writing and follow up if it goes quiet — and ask which project manager is running your job, since customers credit them by name.
