Bright Expert Construction Inc

Bright Expert Construction Inc works out of Somerville and takes on home-improvement work across the Boston area — kitchen remodeling, interior renovation and painting, roofing, driveway repair and decks, by its own description. The company says it was founded and is led by Gleidson Costa De Sousa, and dates itself back to a first paint job in a Boston rental unit in the late 1990s. The public track record is short. Its Thumbtack profile carries a 3.0 average from just two ratings, split evenly between one five-star and one one-star, alongside 83 project photos. In a 2023 review, a homeowner who had work done on one of her houses said the quality was unmatched compared with previous contractors she had used, and credited Gleidson and his crew directly for caring about the outcome. The other rating is a 2025 complaint of a different kind: a prospective customer starting a whole-home project said she got no reply either through Thumbtack or on the phone number in the auto-response. Responsiveness at the quoting stage is worth testing before you commit. Tenure is the one place the sources disagree. The company's own site points to a business running since the late 1990s and claims 20 years in the trade, while its Thumbtack profile states 7 years in business — a gap worth asking about. With two reviews on file there is not enough of a record to judge them either way. If you are considering them for a kitchen or interior job in Somerville or Boston, ask for recent local references, confirm how long the business has operated under this name, and get the scope and schedule in writing.
