Silva Brothers Contracting is a family-run general contracting company based in Tewksbury, serving the greater Boston area with custom home construction, additions, renovations, and historic restoration. The company was the contractor for the PBS series "This Old House," and Reddit users have praised its attention to doing work right rather than cutting corners. In a 2023 Reddit thread, a commenter urged others not to give up on calling, saying the company is "pretty busy but they’re busy because they take work." The Better Business Bureau rates the company A+, though it is not BBB accredited. Houzz lists its services as home remodeling, kitchen remodeling, additions, general contracting, ADUs, and basement remodeling.
“I disagree, knowing how much it costs to 'do the job right' is a major component of what makes Silva Brothers contractors different from the types of contractors who will take short cuts and do the job wrong.”
“There are numerous permits connected to 63 Main St available for viewing on the Town of Westford website. I am actually impressed how they have those available, albeit in a 1990s web page style. Unfortunately all of the Silva Bros. permits I saw listed zero value, so they are not helpful in determining any sort of budget.”
“eventually developed plans to restore it and convert part of the adjacent barn structure into residential space subject to a number of conditions imposed by the local historic commission. I believe the main house project was undertaken first and that is what Silva Bros. have been working on this summer. Below you will find a link to a short video containing interior images that are quite remarkable. It reminds me very much of what was originally found many years ago in season 2 and the Bigelow House condo conversion project. While the work required is rath”
“Don’t give up on calling Silva Brothers. They are in fact pretty busy but they’re busy because they take work.”
“The obvious builder is Silva brothers, but seems like they’d be quite pricy and booked up”
“The team from Silva Brothers Construction, the contractor for “This Old House,” came to meet with them and they were interested.”
