# The Silva Painting LLC

**Trade:** House Painting · **Address:** 80 Cross St #1, Somerville, MA 02145, USA · **Phone:** (857) 247-5899 · **Website:** https://thesilvapaintingllc.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.4/5** (medium confidence) — from 9 reviews across 3 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

The Silva Painting LLC is a Somerville painting company serving a wide swath of towns north and west of Boston — Arlington, Cambridge, Newton, Waltham, Medford and more, by its own listing — with a smaller but positive review history so far.

The specific jobs described are workmanlike: a residential painting estimate that stuck to a tight deadline and a competitive quote (a 2024 review), a full two-bedroom apartment repaint finished in three days by a crew that came early and stayed late, and a garage converted into a home gym where Guilherme, the reviewer's main contact, checked in throughout the job and followed up once it was done. Several other reviews are shorter and lean on general praise — organization, on-time delivery, and price — without naming a specific project.

One thing to confirm before booking: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration shows as expired in the state registry, so it's worth asking about current standing directly.

**Strengths:**
- Met tight deadlines — on-time estimates and scheduling
- Worked extended hours — finished an apartment repaint early
- Close communication — followed up after a garage conversion

**Concerns:**
- License lapsed — MA HIC registration currently expired
