Testimonials
“The work was completed in a timely manner and to the agreed to level of construction. Silva Construction is outstanding in their person to person approach. They start with very detailed estimates and continue with various personnel whose duties are: general over-sight of the job, ordering materials and workers on a timely basis, personally checking every day to see that the job is on schedule and is being done properly, and also with their assistance in personally helping the customer to choose products. Every one of these people are personable, customer oriented, easily accessible and are determined to see that the customer is satisfied. These are rare qualities these days!”

“When I was looking for bids, other companies listened to what I wanted, and then gave me a verbal quote, or a written one with little detail. Silva listened, went back, and a few days later returned a detailed, itemized quote that I could understand. I really liked that. I studied it, made adjustments, and one more meeting produced an agreement we could both live with. Their detailed contract itemized what they would do, what I would do, and what I would buy for them to install. They also produced a list of task milestones and corresponding progress payment amounts. All this was very much within the spirit and the letter of state law. With everything spelled out ahead of time, my job went smoothly with no disagreements. They never pressured me for payments they had not earned. Throughout the job, Silva displayed the highest degree of competence, integrity, and best practices. Each employee did his tasks well, was friendly and received my input well. One of the owners dropped by most days to keep up on the work, and give direction for any problems that may have arisen. We love our new bathroom, and at the end I wrote them a special thank you letter for their good service. I would be very happy to work with Silva again, on a future project.”

“Our remodeled kitchen turned out to be a masterpiece and has become the heart of our home. Thanks to the diligence and professionalism of your staff and coworkers, the end result met and exceeded our expectations. Our kitchen project was by no means a simple one; the floor and ceiling parameters were quite challenging yet the job got completed ahead of schedule. Special thanks must go to Jamie and David Clarke. Jamie spent quite a bit of time shopping with us to select the appliances and accessories; David was at our home daily to ensure that the workers were properly supervised and advice was available for them when needed. His attitude and cheerfulness are exceptional. Once again thanks for a job well done. Please feel free to give our names as reference when the need arises.”

The Role of a General Contractor in Residential Projects
A general contractor is the driving force behind successful residential construction projects, from new home construction to major remodels and renovations. Acting as the central project manager, the general contractor oversees every aspect of the job, ensuring that each phase is completed on time and to the highest standards. This includes reviewing contract documents, securing necessary permits, and coordinating with specialty contractors for services such as plumbing, electrical work, and painting. We manage subcontractors and maintain clear communication with property owners and the design team. We are responsible for delivering high quality work and ensuring that every detail aligns with the client’s vision. Our expertise and hands-on approach help navigate the complexities of home construction, making the process smooth and stress-free for homeowners.

The Design-Build Process Explained
The design-build process employed by Silva Construction offers a streamlined approach to construction project delivery by uniting design and construction services under one contract. We collaborate directly with the designer and engineering team from the earliest stages, fostering a spirit of innovation and teamwork, making it simpler for the homeowner with only one point of contact. This integrated method reduces the risk of miscommunication, minimizes delays, and allows for more efficient use of resources. By emphasizing quality throughout the process, we can deliver exceptional results that meet the needs of clients. The design-build approach is especially effective for clients seeking a seamless experience and a single point of responsibility for their entire project.
