FM Finish Carpentry works out of 2 School St in Milton — the address turns up the same way across several independent business listings, from local directories to trade databases. Gabriel Silva leads the shop, which lists itself as four years in business and has been hired through Thumbtack fifteen times. As of early July, an apprentice's own account of the job still lists the same core tasks — custom trim, cabinets, demolition, and kitchen installs — the kind of steady, unglamorous carpentry that adds up to a track record. That track record is clean. Google raters have given it a perfect 5.0 across 22 ratings, and Thumbtack puts it at 4.7 from 14, with a Top Pro badge for 2023. Sixteen reviews run from 2022 through 2025 across four different sites, and none of them carry a complaint — the recurring theme, across both platforms, is staircases and finish trim done carefully enough to match an existing house. There isn't much of a catch here. Gabriel Silva has passed Thumbtack's background check, and the company's Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#210846) is active with the state as of this scan. What isn't covered is pricing or how the shop handles a large-scale job — the reviews describe finish work and repairs, not full renovations, so it's worth asking directly if the project is bigger than trim and cabinetry. For finish carpentry — built-ins, staircases, trim that has to match what's already there — this is a small, licensed operation with a consistent, complaint-free history and nothing in its public record to second-guess. Confirm current availability and get the scope in writing, same as with any in-demand small crew.

Gabriel Silva and his team are top notch in craft, attention to detail, collaboration, and professional service. This team left the job site cleaned and organized everyday. They were super flexible with our requests and great at coordinating with other trades. Quality people, great work ethics, and super easy to work with. They just started a second job for us. Here the built-in shelving in the living room.

Gabriel Silva and Fernando Magalhães absolutely transformed the main entry staircase in my home. They displayed an impeccable level of craftsmanship, professionalism, attention to detail, and a keen eye for design. Their work exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend FM Finish Carpentry for any finish carpentry project – I am ecstatic with the results!

Gabriel and his team are the best. They rebuilt our front stairs and they are super high quality, using the best materials and made with beautiful craftsmanship. He's also responsive, honest, and easy to talk to. He will be my first call from here on out!

I usually don't leave reviews, but my parents recently contracted FM to help with the remodel of our home before putting it on the market and absolutely adored the work they had done to the place. Not only did everything come out the way they wanted, they went above and beyond, giving the house a new, clean and polished look, I couldn't even remember what it had looked like before! To top it off, working with them was such a pleasure, probably the best contractors out there right now, with affordable prices and amazing service, their crew is the best! So far we've had pretty great offers for the home since contracting FM Finish Carpentry, they really did a phenomenal job.
