SILVA STAMPED CONCRETE

A customer wrote in June 2025 about a deck Silva poured 23 years ago and still has them back to reseal every three years. Another had them return to a pool patio they installed in 2014. A third, writing the same week, had the pool patio they laid more than 20 years earlier resealed and stained again. The same crew keeps coming back to concrete it poured decades ago. Silva Stamped Concrete is family-owned out of Dartmouth — customers name Leonardo and his son Josh — and the company says it has served Massachusetts and Rhode Island since 1986. Stamped concrete is essentially all it does: pool decks, patios, driveway borders and aprons, and the sealing and restaining that keeps them looking new. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #160719, is active on the state registry in the company's name, and its BBB profile carries an A+ grade. Most of the work customers describe is around pools. A 2023 review covers a 2,500-square-foot install around a new one. A July 2024 customer whose 25-year-old pool concrete had been painted — a mistake, as they found out, since the paint would not simply strip — had Silva help track down someone to remove it and then restain the surface. A June 2024 customer said their pool deck should have been cleaned and restained years earlier, and that it was the first summer in years they were not embarrassed to have people over. Communication turns up as often as the concrete does: calls and texts returned, crews arriving when scheduled, the free quote holding to the start date given. A customer writing in February 2023 said Josh and Leonardo prepped a few problem areas before sealing without being asked to. Two things to pin down. The years-in-business figures do not agree — the company's own site says since 1986, its BBB profile says 36 years, its Angi listing says 18. And BuildZoom lists a Rhode Island registration last recorded with a June 1993 expiry, so if your job sits on that side of the line, ask which registration covers it. For a stamped pool deck, a patio, or bringing a twenty-year-old slab back, this is a shop whose older work is still standing in its customers' yards. Ask what sealing schedule they would put it on, and what keeping to it costs.
