## The honest read

VS Construction is a Waltham-based custom home builder and remodeler founded in 2017 by Vinicius "Vinny" Silva, and its written record leans heavily toward two kinds of jobs: full kitchen and bathroom remodels, and ground-up custom homes and additions.

Multiple homeowners describe Vinny staying hands-on through the whole project — communicating arrival times, keeping to budget and schedule, and following up — across kitchen and bathroom remodels in a run of 2019 reviews, a deck rebuild in a 2018 review, and newer late-2024 Google reviews praising attention to detail and on-time, on-budget delivery. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (213081) is registry-verified active.

The one account that stands apart is serious: a 2022 BuildZoom review from a buyer of a VS-built home over a million dollars describes unpermitted work, an allegedly forged architect's stamp on a permit, structural changes from the approved plans, repeated basement flooding, multiple HVAC defects and warranty promises that were never honored — the buyer says they ended up self-funding roughly $50,000 in repairs after the owner's early responsiveness stalled out. The company's own listings also disagree on where it's based — Waltham on its website, Newtonville on Houzz, Woburn on BuildZoom.

Worth pressing on permits and warranty terms directly on a larger project, given that account.

**Strengths:**
- On-budget, on-time — kitchen and bath remodels praised for consistency
- Registry-verified — active MA home improvement contractor license
- Hands-on owner — communicates directly through projects

**Concerns:**
- 2022 complaint — unpermitted work, forged stamp alleged, ~$50k in repairs

**Where sources disagree:**
- The company's own listings disagree on its location: Waltham on its website, Newtonville on Houzz, Woburn on BuildZoom.
- BuildZoom's 4.0★ (4 reviews) mixes two brief 2018 positives with one severe 2022 complaint alleging permit fraud and construction defects, distinct from the 5★ Google and Houzz averages built on separate, later review sets.
