everyone in the industry has what it takes to meet
our high professional standards. SilverMark staff
members are carefully hired and trained on an ongoing
basis to provide our clients the highest quality craftsmanship
and customer service possible.
Our average staff member has 18 years of proven experience
in the industry. All of our project managers and
lead carpenters have the distinction of having
earned
the Certified Lead Carpenter (CLC) certification by the
National Association of the Remodeling Industry. On every level our
staff is dedicated to delivering professional results.
"The management and employees of SilverMark
are top notch. Simply the best!"
Terry Streich, Co-founder and President Terry has been in the remodeling industry since
1976 and is the co-founder of SilverMark,
Inc. His favorite part of his job is solving
home design problems for his clients. He enjoys
talking with them, finding out what they feel
is wrong with their homes, learning about what
they want from their homes, and suggesting functional
and creative solutions. His other interests include
music, learning to play jazz guitar, and gardening;
especially designing, planting, re-planting,
and re-designing. He also loves canoeing, camping
and bicycling. He’s an avid swimmer and
each year tries to swim at least 100 miles.

another passion of his.
