Best Pro Builders Inc.

Best Pro Builders Inc. is a Winthrop, Massachusetts contractor run by Erick Silva, with Edelson Silva listed as owner. Despite the builder name, the work customers actually describe is plaster, drywall and painting: the platform's own job filters count 34 drywall repairs, 20 plaster repairs and one commercial drywall job, and the company's stated services run to plastering and drywall, interior and exterior painting, framing, home additions and bath, kitchen and basement remodeling. The review record is strong and specific. Eighty-two ratings average 4.9 out of 5, 98 percent of them five-star, and the 25 readable bodies run from February 2024 to October 2025. Erick Silva is named again and again by different customers, and the jobs are itemised rather than generic. A homeowner in November 2024 described drywall and plaster repair to walls and ceilings plus popcorn-ceiling removal and repainting in August 2024, including a tricky room around a boiler where the owner was straightforward about what his crew could and could not do. A July 2024 customer brought him in to replaster and repaint a kitchen after Home Depot declined that part of the job, and said he came back almost every day until it was finished and even helped chase the building inspection. Another in May 2024 described stripping old wallpaper from a full-height staircase and patching before painting, with the owner's nephew on the two-man crew. An April 2024 customer needed plaster replaced in a tight spot beside a radiator without disturbing an internet line. Speed and communication come up repeatedly. A March 2025 customer got a quote at the house within twenty minutes of contact and the work scheduled a few days later. An August 2025 job finished sooner than estimated. A February 2024 customer who hired the company to build a wall, install a barn door and paint two rooms said extra repairs and even moving a heavy piece of furniture upstairs were absorbed without complaint despite a booked schedule. Job values in the reviews range from $275 to $10,000. On credentials the picture is unusually solid for a small firm: two independent sources print the same number. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration 203348, issued 7 October 2025, and HomeAdvisor self-reports trade licence 203348 expiring 6 October 2027. Both name this business at this Winthrop address. Verify it with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation before signing. Two things to weigh. The profile states its own tenure two different ways — '15+ years of industry experience' in the blurb against '8 years of experience' in the business-highlights field. And the whole review record sits on one platform, with no permit history behind it. Ask which of those tenures is the company's and which is the owner's own career, and ask for references on a job of your size.
