BestPro Painting & Services

Twelve five-star reviews, all posted between August and October 2020 — and then one more, a single star, in February 2025. That is the written history of BestPro Painting & Services, a Winthrop shop that BBB lists under president Erick DaSilva, incorporated in November 2017 and also trading as Best Pro Builders. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active and held in the company's own name. BBB grades the business A+ without accreditation, and separately records a construction supervisor number issued by the state building board — that second one is BBB's record rather than something confirmed against the registry. The 2020 run reads the same way all the way through, and it is almost entirely about paint and about the owner. Customers writing that summer and fall named Erick on site: an apartment repainted, a full house interior, one job that paired a floor install with painting. Punctuality, cleaning up afterward, and a price people called fair are the notes that repeat. What came later is the part worth weighing. In February 2025 a Google reviewer left one star about reaching the company rather than about any job — the phone rang four times and went busy, and they wondered aloud whether the business had shut down while the website stayed live. Google's average sits at 4.7 across 12 ratings; Angi's 5.0 covers the 2020 batch. The tenure claims don't line up either. The website says over 15 years, Angi's highlights block says 9, and BBB dates the start to 8 November 2017 and calls it 8. Ask which they mean, and ask what the business has been doing since 2020, because the customer accounts stop there. The fit here is interior and exterior painting, drywall, plaster and finish carpentry from a small Winthrop operation with a live state registration. BBB lists one employee, so confirm who will actually be on the job, budget some patience for the first phone call, and get scope and price in writing before work starts.
