North Shore Home Repair is a Peabody one-man operation with a crew he brings in, and the job people keep calling David Silveira for is bathrooms — taken down to the studs and put back. The company's BBB file says it started and incorporated in May 2018, lists one employee, and names David Silveira Jr. as owner. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, held under the company's own name. That same BBB page carries an A+ letter grade while stating the business is not BBB accredited — two separate facts, not one. On Google the score is 4.7 across 15 ratings, and the write-ups run long for a shop this size. A homeowner who had moved to Beverly wrote in March 2026 about a main-bathroom remodel: a competitive quote, guidance on materials, a start date that held, interiors cleaned at the end of each day — then hired him again to rebuild the deck. In a February 2025 review a customer had a first-floor bath stripped to the studs; another that same month had a bathroom floor replaced in a day and a half, with the final total matching the quote exactly. Vanities and exhaust fans, a shower, a back slider, a shed, a kitchen: the jobs vary, the name recurs, and several people describe coming back for a second and third project. The exception is the newest thing written about him. In June 2026 a customer said they had paid this company over $1,000 as a deposit for a sliding glass door, felt misled, and that after three weeks the door had not been replaced. It is the only complaint on file and it is current, so ask directly how deposits are handled, what they cover, and what the schedule commitment is for anything that has to be ordered. For a Peabody-area bathroom or kitchen remodel, a deck rebuild, or a run of smaller repairs handled by the person who quotes them, this is a reasonable call — fair pricing and accurate quotes are the two things reviewers raise most. Confirm the registration with the state, get the payment schedule in writing, and settle delivery dates before money changes hands.
“Dave and North Shore Home Repair has done work for us a few different times at both of our homes. His work has been excellent, fairly priced and done in a timely fashion.”
I am in the process of getting my sliding glass door repaired. I paid this company over $1,000 as a deposit. I have been mislead. Over 3 weeks. My sliding glass door has not been replaced.
We have used David Silveira at North Shore Home Repair for several home projects. David was an exception contractor meeting, or exceeding all expectations. We recently moved to Beverly MA, and need to remodel the main bathroom. We contracted with North Shore as the quote was competitive. Dave provide much needed guidance for materiel's, timely responses to all communications, worked around our schedule, started the project on time, cleaned all interiors spaces after each day. Dave behaved as a professional and thoughtful partner in the project. We decided to have him rebuild our exterior deck, and again were not disappointed. We have had 3 homes, and have worked with many contractors, Dave was by far the best we have done business with.
I had Dave install 2 vanities which included the plumbing as well as address an issue with my exhaust fans. He was very reasonably priced, he responded quickly to my emails, provided updates, he cleaned up and tried to minimize any mess, and most importantly, my bathroom vanities came out looking awesome! I'll definitely be using him again for several future projects.
We have already used David on several projects. He's very reliable, professional, reasonable and really good at his job. Highly recommend!
A big 5 stars for North Shore Home Repair! Working with Dave is such a pleasure. We wanted to completely renovate our first floor bath going down to the studs. The completed project is just beautiful. His knowledge and craftsmanship is second to none. Highly recommended for all projects in your home!
