He treats our home as if it was his own
Highly recommended
Beverly is a coastal city with very different neighborhoods under one name. Beverly Farms and Prides Crossing are known for large older homes near the water. The Cove, Montserrat and Ryal Side are more compact residential areas, with a mix of older single-family homes, two-family houses and newer construction. The harbor has shaped the city since the colonial period, and some of its buildings are very old: the John Balch House, for example, dates to around 1679.
Most homes here are not that old, but plenty have decades behind them, and that is where renovation gets interesting. Plaster walls, stone or early concrete foundations, chimneys that have been patched more than once and windows that have been replaced in stages are all normal. Renovating well means reading what is already there before deciding what to change. We start with a walk through your home, discuss your goals and assess the space before anything is priced.
Homes near Beverly’s harbor and in the Farms tend to need work on the envelope first: painting that can handle salt and wind, masonry for chimneys, stone foundations and mortar joints, and pressure washing to clear salt, mildew and grime from siding and decks. Inside, kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling remodels are the common updates, with tile installation, flooring and drywall and plaster in supporting roles, and demolition to open things up.
When a general contractor in Beverly handles the whole list, the exterior repairs can be timed for dry weather while the interior work moves ahead.
A home near Beverly’s waterfront deals with salt air, humidity and storms coming off the water, and then with a New England winter on top. Exterior paint fades and peels faster near the coast. Wood trim takes on moisture. Mortar joints open up when water gets in and freezes. Basements in older homes can stay damp, and bathrooms without good ventilation grow mildew.
Dry spells in late spring and fall are the best windows for outside work: mortar, chimneys and failing paint before the first freeze, then washing and repainting once the weather warms. A general contractor in Beverly who plans around those windows saves you from repeating the same repair next year.
Most renovation work in Beverly, from kitchens and bathrooms to structural changes, needs a building permit from the city. The registered contractor applies for covered work in Massachusetts. Owners of an owner-occupied one- or two-family home can apply themselves under the homeowner exemption, and may be asked to sign an acknowledgment that they give up the protections of the state’s Home Improvement Contractor program. In practice, a general contractor in Beverly takes care of this for you.
Beverly also has a demolition delay bylaw for older buildings, which can add a review period before a building 75 years old or more is taken down. Raise it at the free estimate and we will go over what the project is likely to need.
We start with a free walk through: we look at the house, talk about what you want and answer your questions. A detailed plan with layout, materials, fixtures and timeline follows, along with a transparent estimate. Skilled craftsmen then do the work, with dust barriers, daily cleanup and regular updates, and we finish with a walkthrough where we answer your questions about care and maintenance.
We work as a general contractor in Beverly and in 14 other cities across the North Shore, Greater Boston and southern New Hampshire. Nearby, we also work in Salem, Danvers, Peabody and Lynn. See every town on our service areas page.
Is Silva Construction Pro a licensed general contractor in Beverly?
Yes. HIC #213421 and CSL #123919 in Massachusetts, plus general liability insurance and workers’ compensation.
How much does an estimate cost?
Nothing. We visit your home and price the work in detail, free.
What exterior paint lasts near the coast?
Good prep matters more than brand: scraping, priming and caulking before paint goes on. We use premium paints from brands such as Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams and plan the job for dry weather.
Can you repair a leaking stone or brick foundation wall?
We repair brick and stone and tuckpoint failing mortar. We assess the source of the water first, because sealing a wall without fixing the cause does not last.
What does the workmanship warranty cover?
Renovation projects carry a 2-year workmanship warranty. Materials and fixtures are backed by their manufacturers as well.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
Usually, yes. We contain dust, clean up daily and set up a temporary kitchen area when the kitchen is involved.
What is the payment schedule?
A deposit locks in your date and covers materials. Progress payments follow key milestones, and the last payment is due at completion.
Is it better to hire one contractor or several trades?
One contractor coordinates the sequence, answers for the finished result and gives you one estimate and one person to call.
