Da Silva Carpentry

Da Silva Carpentry is a carpentry outfit run by Isildo Da Silva out of 2 Westboro Rd in Upton, and what exists about it is a paper trail rather than a reputation: 55 permitted projects on file, and not one customer review anywhere. The permit record is the useful part. It reads like a company that lives on decks, porches and finish carpentry close to home, with occasional jumps into much bigger work — a detached garage with an attached home gym, a basement build-out, siding replacement — and job valuations running from a few thousand dollars to the low six figures. The work spreads across eastern and central Massachusetts rather than clustering in one town. Electrical and gas permits also appear under the name, which is worth asking about, since carpentry and those trades are licensed separately. The credential picture needs care. BuildZoom lists six Massachusetts licence records against this one business: four different home improvement contractor numbers — two shown active, two shown inactive and at one point cancelled — plus two different construction supervisor numbers, none with a holder name printed against it. That is a directory's compilation, not a verification, and four registration numbers for one company is the pattern that usually means records from more than one entity have been swept together. None of it should be read as this company's confirmed credential. One more thing that is easy to misread: the profile's score of 98 is calculated from permit history, not from customers. It is not a star rating and nobody has left one. If you are considering them, ask directly which registration and construction supervisor licence they hold, verify those numbers yourself with the Office of Consumer Affairs and the Department of Public Safety, and ask for recent references — the permits show the work has been done, but nothing on file tells you how it went for the homeowners.
