Happy Holidays from
SilverMark!
  We’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very happy holiday season!
“Home” plays such an important role during the holidays. We appreciate having had the chance to share our newsletter with you each month and hope you’ve found useful ideas and inspiration for making your own home even more beautiful and enjoyable every day of the year.
We are mindful of the many blessings we have received during 2010. Please accept our sincere thanks for doing business with SilverMark and for sending remodeling referrals our way. We were honored to have so many opportunities to make remodeling dreams come true this past year.
As we look ahead to the New Year, Terry Streich and all of us at SilverMark send you our very best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2011.
Planning for 2011 Remodeling Projects Starts...Now!
 Food, parties, gifts, visits with friends and family...Many times, the holidays leave homeowners wishing they had a better kitchen, nicer bathrooms, a more spacious guestroom – or just more room in general! If you are thinking that 2011 is the year to finally update your home, now is the time to start planning for your remodeling project.
The fact is, good remodeling always starts with good planning.
Working out details, drawing up plans, getting permits, and selecting appliances, fixtures and finishes can take anywhere from three to six weeks to nine months or more, depending on the complexity of your project and the permitting requirements. For example, if you’d like to have a new deck or sunroom ready for the summer, construction needs to begin by spring – but planning should start in December or January. And if you’re thinking you want to have a whole house renovation ready for the 2011 holiday season, or a major kitchen remodel or home addition ready by the late spring, now is the time to start talking with your remodeler.
Step by step to a stress-free remodeling experience.
Do you envy those organized people who had their holiday shopping all done in the summer? They seem to spend less and enjoy the holidays more! Well, homeowners who look ahead and get their 2011 projects into “pre-planning” now can feel just as smart as those “Christmas in July” folks. By starting now, or as soon as the holidays are over, you’ll have plenty of time to explore options and make sure you don’t overlook great “extras” that can be built right into your project without adding significant expense. Also, even in this economy, some of the best remodelers already have their schedules filling up for 2011.
Plus, remember that more complex remodeling and renovation jobs have many steps – everything from feasibility studies and design concepts, to drawings, selections, permits, construction, inspections and so much more. Giving yourself and your remodeler good lead time helps assure the project ticks smoothly on the timeline – and budget – you’re expecting.
Remember, at the bare minimum, you’ll need a few weeks to gather your ideas and talk with remodelers about budget and their schedules and availability for your project. So if one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get started on a new deck, new kitchen or new sunroom for summer, give us a call and let’s map out an action plan!
Thanks for the Referrals!
Most of our business comes from recommendations from those who know us best – our past clients, friends and suppliers. We greatly value and appreciate each referral not just for the business it brings the company but for the jobs it helps us provide our staff and suppliers. If you or someone you know is considering remodeling their home, please suggest they contact us for a complimentary consultation.
  See you next month!
