The Wolfe Design Build Team
Matt Wolfe
Founder & Lead Designer
Matt established Wolfe Design Build LLC after 15+ years of experience in design, space planning, construction systems, project management, and cost estimating.
Matt's love for craftsmanship and building began at an early age when he apprenticed as a carpenter and built custom wooden sheds. Since that time, Matt has developed his skills as a craftsman and designer. He earned his Master of Architecture from Syracuse University where he learned innovative practices and gained a deep understanding of architectural design and space planning.
Matt has worked as a site engineer for a commercial construction company and in real estate development. Prior to founding Wolfe Design Build, Matt was a project manager at an award-winning design/build firm on the North Shore.
Matt lives in Swampscott, Mass., with his wife and two daughters, and a golden retriever named Frankie.
Matt’s favorite saying is, “We want you to feel like you’ve bought a new home.”

Justin Favazza
Project Manager
Justin spent the first 20 years of his career as a tile installer, and owned his own business for 10.
At Wolfe Design Build, Justin is a project manager and oversees the daily operations of many of our projects. Justin has a great rapport with our clients and he especially loves getting to know the family pets.
His most favorite part of the job is at the completion of a project. He said, “I love the finishes - when the kitchen’s done and you get those last pieces up and everyone’s happy. We are proud of what we gave them and they are happy with what they got.”
Kevin Liles
Lead Carpenter
Kevin is our lead carpenter at Wolfe Design Build.
Kevin started woodworking and carpentry at the age of 14, working on theatre sets and stages, and he studied construction management in college. Originally from California, Kevin and his family relocated to Swampscott a few years ago.
He loves the hands-on nature of carpentry, especially being a part of a project from “frame to finish.” He said, “I like know that I have created something that wasn’t there before, whether I redid it or made it brand new.”
