Eliezer Silva runs a Sterling-based painting-and-remodeling operation — doing business for years as Final Touch Painting, more recently as Final Touch Property Maintenance — that Angi's profile says has 21 years of experience and covers everything from exterior painting to full interior remodels. The five reviews on file run 2008 to 2015, and all five are five stars. In a 2008 review, a customer praised the crew for protecting furniture and floors with plastic and drop cloths during a painting job. That kind of first impression turned into repeat business: a 2015 review described being impressed enough with a paint job to bring the crew back for a full interior overhaul — new floors, crown molding, doors, and a new shower unit. Two other reviews, from 2014 and 2015, describe renovations in older houses where rotted wood and structural issues surfaced mid-project; both reviewers said Silva walked them through the repairs and finished the additional kitchen, bath, and structural work on schedule despite the extra delays. Eliezer Silva's Massachusetts Construction Supervisor license is active on the state registry, matching what BuildZoom's permit-history page also shows. That page also lists 17 permitted projects, including new two-family construction and gut renovations in Fitchburg and remodels and decks across several other towns, with four completed in the past three years. Because the on-file reviews are more than a decade old, it's worth asking about recent references, and given that two projects surfaced hidden structural problems, a homeowner remodeling an older house should ask what an inspection might turn up before work starts. For painting and full-scale remodeling work — especially older homes where structural surprises are a real possibility — Silva has a clean, if dated, five-star record and an active state license backing more recent permitted work.
All of the work was contracted and approved up front. The bones of the house looked good and it was only after they started and the building inspector came around that the problems of rotted wood and structural issues came to light. Still Elizer took me through every step of the way and did nothing outside of the original contract without consulting me. Not only were they highly professional at all times, they went out of their way to make sure I was happy. For instance one of the entry doors was not to my liking at all, so without question, they swapped it out for one I did like. Also they put together new floor to ceiling cabinets for the storage room and helped me move furniture displaced by the work back where it belonged. Since nothing comes assembled anymore they put together a new desk for the den. They worked steadily and swiftly but thoroughly and competently with only a few minor setbacks due to weather when working on the porches. If they had to hire out e.g. the electrician, he was also competent and very professional. Once the work was finished Elizer wouldn't accept final payment until we both did a walk through and if there was a problem (very minor ones) he either fixed it right away or within the next day or two. There was one problem where the dumpster made deep groves in my driveway and it took a couple of weeks before that company came by to fix it, but Elizer stayed on them until the work was done. When the house was finished they cleaned up all the debris including some bushes that were uprooted up by the porches, and left the yard immaculate as though they had never been there. All in all I like Final Touch Property Maintenance and highly recommend them as I did to the people who stopped by to admire the work as it went along. I don't have any pictures as I was working full time and didn't have a chance to take pictures as it was being remodeled, but the company has some and has my permission to release them to you if needed. I would definitely give this company an "A" rating. Please let me know if you need anything else.
I received an excellent job! I received bids from a number of contractors but I got the fastest response and the most detailed bid from Eliezer. He was prompt in meeting with me to look at the job and sent me a bid within a day. He showed me photographs of other recent work he had completed. From those photos it was clear his company could do carpentry repairs as well as do the painting. From start to finish I was kept informed of of what was happening and what was going to be done next. They used dropcloths to protect the yard. They cleaned up every day and removed all the construction debris. Eliezer was very careful to check with me before they did any repair beyond what was in my original bid. He would show me the area in question, explain why he was showing it to me and to describe how they would proceed with the repair. I could agree to the repair or decline. I was not pressured into any work I didn't want. The work took about 8 days. The entire crew worked steadily while they were here. All of them were very polite, neat, and professional. I was asked to inspect the job and show him anything I thought needed attention before they finished. At the end of the job, before they left, they did a careful sweep around the house to make certain everything was picked up and tidy. I sat down with Eliezer, and we went over the entire bid and the revisions for the additional repairs so I knew exactly what I was paying for.
I was so impressed with the work they did painting, I had them come back and update the whole interior of my house, from new floors, to walls, to crown molding, to new doors throughout, including sliding closet doors. I also had them put in a new shower unit in the spare bedroom and it works perfectly. It was a challenge as I have an older mobile home and not everything is normal house size, but the Final Touch crew worked diligently and were able to give me a beautiful brand new interior to my house. I had no problem leaving a key with them while I went to work and were very respectful of the house itself and surrounding property. They picked up everything that was left over and left the property clean and tidy.
Final Touch did an excellent job. They worked through a number of structural challenges in our very old house. The kitchen and bath now has new appliances and cabinets. The installation and painting went flawlessly. They finished on schedule despite delays beyond their control. Final Touch was very responsive to small changes and suggestions and they paid close attention to details. I found that frequent (two times per day) communications and reviews of work progress helped tremendously to obtain the results that I envisioned.
Final Touch Painting since the first day they was organized, and all my furnitures was protected with plastic and my hardwood floor/carpet was protected with drop cloth, so no question about them, I will going to hire them again when if I need it. They performed a excellent job.
