Santos Craftline was founded in 2018 by Gilson Santos with one belief: that homeowners in Massachusetts deserve a contractor who shows up on time, does what they say, and builds things that last.
Starting with small finish carpentry jobs and bathroom remodels, we grew through referrals — one satisfied client telling another. Today, we're a full-service residential construction company with over 40 completed projects and a reputation that speaks for itself in communities like Newton, Wellesley, Brookline, Needham, and across Eastern Massachusetts.
"We're not the cheapest contractor you'll find. We're the one you'll be glad you hired."
You'll never get a lowball quote that balloons mid-project. Our estimates are detailed, itemized, and honest — before the first tool comes out.
We employ our core crew full-time. These aren't rotating subcontractors — they're craftspeople who take pride in the work and show up every day.
You'll have direct access to your project manager. Daily updates when things are moving. Immediate notification if anything changes. No guessing.
We protect your floors, contain dust, clean up daily, and treat your property like we'd want ours treated. Professionalism isn't optional.
Gilson founded Santos Craftline in 2018 after 8 years of hands-on work across every trade in residential construction. A licensed CSL contractor, Gilson personally manages every project from first meeting to final walkthrough.
Nicolas handles client communication, project scheduling, and detailed estimating. His background in architectural drafting means he can read blueprints, coordinate with engineers, and keep even complex multi-phase projects on time and on budget.
Elena brings an interior design background to the team, helping clients make cohesive tile, finish, and fixture selections. Her eye for scale and proportion prevents costly mistakes and ensures every space feels intentional.
Every Santos Craftline project is backed by proper Massachusetts licensing, full general liability insurance, and workers' compensation coverage. We pull permits for every project that requires them — no shortcuts.
No pressure, no commitment. Just an honest conversation about what you're envisioning and what it would take to build it right.
