Silva Home Services is a Reading-area handyman who keeps getting called back for electrical jobs that need careful, practical work. Recent customers describe Rob installing an EV charger, disconnecting a gas range safely, and handling camera installation; the Thumbtack profile says he has six years in business and 42 hires. The EV-charger job in April 2026 came with punctual updates by text and a promised follow-up. In March, another customer described the gas-line disconnection step by step, including a leak check and testing, while a bathroom-fan customer in June 2025 said the job ran long but Rob returned to finish it and suggested renter-friendly options. The visible written reviews are strongly positive, though the broader Thumbtack profile is 4.5 stars from 29 ratings and includes some lower ratings. Ask for a written scope and timing, especially on a job involving wiring, gas disconnection, or a return visit. Silva is a useful call for homeowners who want one person for handyman work with a strong electrical focus. Confirm the exact trade work included and who will handle any required permits before booking.

He did a great job, affordable, reliabletrustworthy. I would definitely be this company to Everyone. thank you. Esther Jean Baptiste
Rob did a great job installing my EV charger. He was punctual, easy to communicate with (we handled everything over text), and followed up exactly when he said he would. I had to wait for the charger to arrive, and he checked in on the day I mentioned without me having to remind him. He handled everything end-to-end, including making an extra trip to pick up materials, and got the install done efficiently. The setup looks clean and everything is working perfectly. Pricing felt reasonable, especially given how quickly he was able to get the job done and how smooth the whole process was. Would definitely recommend.β¦
Silva was very professional, timely, accommodating, and the quality of service was outstanding. He turned off the gas line, disconnected my range from the gas line, applied a bubble solution to ensure there were no leaks, applied the cap to the gas line outlet, and lastly tested to ensure there was no leaks before leaving the premises. I had recommended his work. I have attached pre and post photosβ¦
I'd choose all 5 if I could. Rob is no non-sense, got the job done, quickly and efficiently and at a great price. Will be hiring him again for more cam installation, etc. Thank you Rob!
Silva Home Service did a great job with my bathroom fan installation. The job took longer than expected but he returned no matter what to complete it. He even suggested affordable options that are renters friendly.
