SP General Construction
Local business
Verified record
- Not rated by the BBB
Highlights
- Hardscape and masonry — the outdoor stone, paver and concrete end of the trade
- Background-checked owner — Thumbtack verified Pedro Da Silva by name
- 56 posted projects — more visible work than the review count implies
- Owner-run crew — three employees, and reviewers name Pedro directly
- Thin review history — two ratings, both from 2023, one platform
- Tenure stated twice — page claims 16 years and over seven
- No recent reviews — nothing on file from the last three years
Two reviews. That is the whole public history on SP General Construction, and both are five stars — which tells a homeowner much less than they need before handing over a driveway or a retaining wall. The company works out of Lowell and is run by Pedro Da Silva, who Thumbtack has background-checked, with three employees behind him. Its own service list leans hard toward the outdoor, hard-surface end of the trade: masonry, brick and stone repair, concrete repairs, paved walkways, driveways, patios and stairs, alongside lawn mowing and landscape design. Fifty-six projects are posted on the same page, a good deal more work than two ratings would suggest. Both of those ratings date to 2023, on a single platform, with nothing newer. A five-star average built on two customers three years ago is a starting point, not a track record — and every one of the reviews on file is short enough or old enough that it cannot tell you what the crew is like today. One thing to settle on the first call: the same page carries two different histories, an overview field claiming sixteen years in business against the company's own text saying over seven. Ask which is right. Then ask for recent local references — Lowell-area masonry or paving from the past year, with addresses worth driving past — because that is the part no page currently answers. Worth a quote if you want stonework, pavers or concrete from a small owner-run outfit and you are willing to do the reference-checking yourself. Confirm any registration or insurance directly with the company and the state before work starts.

Pedro and his team's work on our property has been nothing short of amazing! He exceeded our expectations in every way, was very professional, worked with us on a couple changes to the project scope, and did very high quality work on a stone wall, paver patio and walkway, and parking pad. After evaluating other options, we are very happy to have worked with Pedro, and would recommend him to anyone.

What does handyman work cost in Greater Boston?
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from SP General Construction. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.
Estimated range
$220 – $850
Typical handyman visit around $540
