Danvers was once part of Salem Village. Some of its buildings are among the best-known in Massachusetts, including the Rebecca Nurse Homestead, the General Israel Putnam House and the Salem Village Historic District. The town’s villages include Danversport, Tapleyville, Putnamville, Ferncroft and Hathorne, each with its own character.
Most Danvers homeowners are not living in a museum, but many live in houses with age. Older framing, plaster walls, original chimneys and foundations of stone or early block all show up here. Renovating them well means respecting the structure while updating what needs to work in a modern house: a kitchen that fits the way you cook, a bathroom that does not leak, floors that hold up. We begin with a walk through your home, discuss what you want and assess the space before anything is priced.
Older Danvers houses tend to call for the same handful of projects. Drywall and plaster restores plaster walls and ceilings, masonry repairs chimneys, stone and brick and foundation work, and painting protects the exterior and brings interiors back to life. Flooring often means refinishing the hardwood already there, while kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling and tile installation bring a modern layout into an old floor plan. Pressure washing cleans siding, decks and driveways, and demolition takes out the old before the new goes in.
A general contractor in Danvers who can do all of this in one sequence spares you from coordinating five crews yourself.
Danvers sits between rivers, with the Danvers River on its southeastern edge and the Ipswich River along part of its western border. Water moves through the landscape, and it moves through older houses, too. Stone and brick foundations can take on water, chimneys can leak at the crown and flashing, and basements can stay damp.
On top of that comes New England’s freeze and thaw, and masonry is where it shows first. Repair chimneys, mortar and failing paint in fall, before the first freeze, and save washing and repainting for late spring. A general contractor in Danvers who schedules around the seasons spares you from redoing the same repair next winter.
Most renovation work in Danvers, including kitchens, bathrooms and structural changes, needs a building permit from the town. In Massachusetts the registered contractor is the one who applies for covered work. A homeowner can apply for an owner-occupied one- or two-family home under the homeowner exemption, but takes on the responsibility and loses the protections of the state’s Home Improvement Contractor program. In practice, a general contractor in Danvers takes care of this for you.
Danvers also has a demolition delay bylaw, which can add a review period before a building that is 75 years old or more is demolished. It matters mostly for demolition, but it is worth asking early. Bring it up at the free estimate and we will go over what the project is likely to need.
It starts with a walk through your house: we look at the plaster, the floors, the chimney and whatever else the project touches, and listen to what you want. You then receive a detailed plan and an itemized estimate with no hidden fees. The work itself comes with dust barriers, daily cleanup and steady communication from skilled craftsmen, and it ends with a joint walkthrough of the finished space.
We work as a general contractor in Danvers and in 14 other cities across the North Shore, Greater Boston and southern New Hampshire. Nearby, we also work in Peabody, Beverly, Salem and Lynn. See every town on our service areas page.
Is Silva Construction Pro a licensed general contractor in Danvers?
Yes: HIC #213421 and CSL #123919, with general liability insurance and workers’ compensation.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. We visit your home, go through the project with you and give a clear estimate at no cost.
Can you work on a historic or very old house?
Yes. Older homes need planning for plaster, wiring, masonry and pre-1978 paint. We assess the space first and plan for what may be behind the walls.
Do you repair chimneys?
Yes. We repair chimney crowns, replace deteriorated bricks, rebuild from the roofline up and install caps and flashing to stop water damage.
Does the demolition delay bylaw affect my project?
It is aimed at demolishing older buildings, or large parts of them. Tell us your address and what you plan, and we will check what applies.
What does the warranty cover?
Workmanship on renovation projects is covered for 2 years, and fixtures and materials keep their manufacturer warranties.
Can we live in the house during the work?
In most cases yes. We set up dust barriers, clean up every day and, for a kitchen, arrange a temporary kitchen area.
How is payment structured?
A deposit secures the start date and materials, progress payments follow the main stages and the balance is due at completion, as set out in your contract.
