Silva Green Cleaning Corp

The thing that keeps showing up in Silva Green's reviews isn't the cleaning — it's the length of the relationship. One 2024 customer wrote that their family had been with Ivanete and Luiz for over 25 years; another counted 15; another 10; another 7. That is unusual in a trade where households swap cleaners every couple of years. Silva Green Cleaning Corp works out of Jaques Street in Somerville and describes itself as a family business that cleans homes and offices with non-toxic products. The company says it has been at it for more than 30 years, starting out with road maps and newspaper ads after the family arrived in the United States to study and work. Its Better Business Bureau file, opened in 2009, lists a 1991 start, a 2014 incorporation, and Luiz Silva as owner, and carries an A+ with accreditation since 2009. Its Google page is 5★ across all eight ratings, and the reviewers name the owner directly: Luiz answers, Luiz reschedules, Luiz shows up. In a January 2025 review, a homeowner who had contacted several companies the night before for a next-day clean said Silva replied first, arrived on time with its own equipment and supplies, and put a crew of three to work. A 2024 customer with two shedding dogs described the same easy rescheduling, and another 2024 reviewer singled out the absence of harsh chemicals, which is the pitch the company leads with. Two things are worth weighing. The written history is short and stale — eight reviews all told, the newest from January 2025 — so nothing describes how they work today. And this is a small outfit: BBB lists two employees, which matches the owner-plus-small-crew picture the reviews paint, but it means capacity is limited and the owner is the schedule. Silva Green fits a household that wants the same small team on a recurring weekly or biweekly basis and cares about what gets sprayed around the house. Before booking, ask what the crew size and route look like now, since the reviews describing them are more than a year old.
