DS General Services Corp. works out of Framingham under owner Welhington Da Silva, and the work customers describe most is floors: sanding, refinishing and installing hardwood, usually paired with interior painting. From there it extends into full bathroom and kitchen remodels, basements, decks and porches, tile and trim. The state registry confirms an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor licence, number 196108, held in the company's own name, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+.
The record is deep. Angi and HomeAdvisor both publish 4.9 stars from 271 ratings — the same syndicated set — and Houzz adds 4.9 from 29 with 94 project galleries. Two reviews have landed in the past six months, neither negative. One, written days ago, describes new hardwood in six bedrooms plus sanding, re-staining and full interior painting of a house neglected for twenty years, finished "on time and on budget." Another, from July 2026, comes from a repeat client on their third project, who wrote that "his pricing was fair and transparent" and that "the final cost was exactly what we agreed on."
Budget discipline is the theme reviewers return to. A May 2023 customer said DS came in lowest on a bathroom remodel by a significant margin and still finished "right on budget" with good workmanship, though they noted the lower price came with more procurement work on their own side. Several 2021 and 2022 floor jobs are described with prices attached — $975, $1,300, $2,800, $3,600 — and reviewers repeatedly mention low dust and clean sites after sanding.
The complaints cluster in one place, and they are worth reading. In July 2021 a BuildZoom reviewer said an interior painting job left paint on outlet covers and trim with sections of wall unpainted, and that a request for a discount went unanswered. In October 2020 another described a floor sanded and stained the wrong colour — walnut instead of honey — and putty work destroyed and redone. A November 2023 Houzz customer, on their third job with the company, rated it three stars because large gaps between old floorboards were not raised before the finish went on. The common thread is communication about problems mid-job rather than the craftsmanship itself.
For a MetroWest homeowner wanting hardwood refinished, a room painted, or a bathroom done at a competitive price, this is a well-evidenced and properly licensed choice. Agree the scope in writing and ask explicitly to be called if anything unexpected turns up.
