Silverback Contracting LLC

Eleven five-star ratings on Thumbtack and not one dissenting voice — but read the comments closely and a puzzle appears. Three of the five displayed reviews thank "D&J Construction" rather than SilverBack. Whether that is a rebrand, a shared crew, or reviews carried across profiles, it is the first thing worth asking about. The Winthrop firm lists three employees and a completed background check under Derek Burns, and publishes 75 project photos. Its stated work spans general contracting, demolition, plastering, roof installation and replacement, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and deck or porch additions. What customers describe is substantial work handled cleanly. In a January 2025 review, a homeowner adding an in-law apartment for their parents said Joe came out on time, went over their ideas, suggested things they had not thought of, and finished on time and on budget — enough that they hired the firm again for a relative. Another reviewer that month credited the crew with staying responsive and communicating at every step of the schedule. A third, also January 2025, described a bathroom remodel where the contractor listened to their concerns before starting, though that is one of the comments naming D&J. The profile also disagrees with itself on how long the business has been around: its Overview says eight years, while the firm's own blurb claims more than twenty years of experience and describes the company as Boston-based rather than Winthrop. Worth a call for an addition or a full-room remodel, provided the particulars hold up. Confirm which company name goes on your contract and registration, ask directly about the D&J connection, and pin down how long the business itself has been operating — the page gives two different answers.
