Book a demoWho is Josh Wiener?
Josh Wiener is the founder and CEO of SilverLining, a high-end residential construction and renovation firm he started in New York in 1987 after turning a college house-painting business into a company. Over more than three decades, SilverLining has completed over 3,000 luxury projects across New York, the Hamptons, Connecticut, California, and Florida, working with elite architects, designers, and clients.
Craftsmanship as the business
SilverLining is built around doing the work in-house. Wiener assembled an elite team of carpenters, millworkers, and painters and runs a 14,000-square-foot cabinet shop, delivering work at the very top of the market. The firm's reputation rests on obsessive attention to detail and building things to last.
There's no such thing as an unimportant detail.
That perfectionism has produced showpieces like an 80-foot interior slide running the height of a three-story Manhattan penthouse, and a client roster that trade press has tied to names like Jennifer Aniston and Sigourney Weaver.
Why Josh Wiener matters
Wiener represents the craftsmanship end of the home-improvement spectrum, a bootstrapped founder who built a bicoastal luxury construction firm on referrals and quality rather than scale and volume. In a dossier full of roll-ups and franchises, SilverLining is the reminder that at the high end, the differentiator is still the work itself.
We build for people forever.
