consTRUSTY Carpentry is a Medford design-build firm led by Fabio Da Silva that spent years building a reputation, project after project, for hands-on kitchen and bathroom remodels, custom cabinetry and finish carpentry across Greater Boston. From 2020 through 2025, the same details show up again and again: Fabio managing jobs personally, communicating constantly, solving problems as they come up, and delivering work homeowners describe as detailed and high quality — full kitchen gut renovations, a condo remodel spanning a kitchen, living room, hallway and two bathrooms, crown molding matched to a 120-year-old house, and custom-built shelving. Houzz shows a 5.0 rating from 18 reviews and Thumbtack a 4.9 from 36, and town permit records confirm two completed 2022 projects — a $9,000 siding restoration in Marblehead and a $29,000 kitchen cabinet and lighting update in Medfield. The most recent word on the company, though, is a different story. A June 2026 review said Fabio went quiet for weeks after providing a quote, repeatedly promising an official written agreement that never arrived, leaving the customer waiting more than a month before giving up. It's the only review from the last six months, and it stands in sharp contrast to years of praise for responsiveness — worth asking about directly before committing to anything. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and Thumbtack separately lists Fabio Silva as a license-verified Construction Supervisor in the state. For a kitchen or bathroom remodel built around detailed carpentry, consTRUSTY has a long, specific history of satisfied repeat customers — but given how recent and specific that quoting complaint is, get everything in writing early and confirm the timeline before signing anything.

Fabio ghosted me for weeks after giving me a quote. Week and after week he kept promising to send me an official quote to sign the agreement, but he never sent it despite apologies and promises he would. I waited patiently for over a month and finally sent him a text saying I assume he didn’t want the job. No response. Be an adult and communicate. If my job was too small for you, just be transparent. But instead you stalled and delayed getting a job done that I needed. In the end I eventually found someone who did a fantastic job and will be my go to person. Fabio is unprofessional and when I met him I genuinely thought he was a nice man. That may still be the case but I would not do business with him. I’ve already referred the guy that I hired to three other people. One who has a very significant job to be done, so your loss Fabio. If I ever see your name or company name in any Medford Facebook group I will be sure to let people know to run! You’re the reason why people have trust issues with contractors.
Fabio is great at managing his remodeling projects from start to finish. Hands on and proactive. I have been referring his company to my Kitchen design clients who have been in search of a contractor over the years. Every project we have worked on together has gone smoothly from start to finish. Talented company to work with on a professional level.
I recently hired Construsty to build a custom built-in bookshelf, and I couldn't be happier with the result! From start to finish, he was professional, detail-oriented, and truly dedicated to delivering high-quality work. I got his contact from a friend. Construsty took the time to understand my needs, provided helpful suggestions, and executed the project flawlessly. The bookshelf fits perfectly in the space, looks stunning, and adds both beauty and functionality to the room. His craftsmanship is top-notch, with clean lines, smooth finishes, and sturdy construction. Beyond the quality of work, Construsty left the workspace spotless after finishing the job. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for custom woodworking—this was an investment well worth it! Thank you, Construsty, for transforming my space with your incredible skills!
consTRUSTY did a fabulous job. The product exceeded my every expectation. Would not hesitate to use them again!
Fabio and his workers were the bright spot of this project, they saved the experience of working with a designer that made numerous mistakes and stone fabricators that picked the worst of all possible portions of stone to match from our slab. We ended up with a beautiful set of cabinets with a pass through because Fabio and his staff raised issues with us and went the extra mile to take off the top portion already installed and reinstall it after the stone was fixed.
