Silva Brothers Contracting

Silva Brothers has been building around Boston since 1985 — 41 years by the BBB's count, though the company's own Houzz page claims 'more than 25'. Charlie Silva is listed as co-owner, the business runs six employees out of Tewksbury, gives a Lexington address on Houzz, and trades under two names, Silva Brothers Contracting and Silva Brothers Construction, Inc., with one phone number behind both. The work it publishes is remodeling: whole-home remodels, kitchens, additions, basements and accessory dwelling units, across the Greater Boston suburbs and out to the North Shore by its own account. Its BBB file carries an A+, though the company is not BBB Accredited and that page publishes no reviews, no star rating and no complaint count. The Houzz profile is unreviewed too — 16 followers, one badge, and an invitation to write the first review. So: a long-established firm with a clean file and almost nothing from the people who hired it. Four decades in business and an A+ are worth something, but neither tells you how a job actually runs. Ask for three addresses from work finished in the last two years and talk to those owners directly, confirm which of the two company names your contract will be with, and look up the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and construction supervisor licence numbers on the state registry before anything is signed.
