About Us
Our Company History...
Chermak Construction, Inc. grew out of Howard Chermak's need to generate income to finance his college education while attending Western Washington State University and later as a means to supplement his teaching income while working for the State of Minnesota school system as a speech therapist. After working several summers as a carpenter while in college and later as a teacher, Howard found that not only was he enjoying the building process, but he was also finding success and satisfaction in it.
In 1974 Howard made the decision to move back to Edmonds and enter the construction business on a full time basis. He started with a local builder architect as a Master Carpenter involved in all phases of residential and light commercial construction. He was soon in full charge of the projects he was working on and made the decision to start his own business.
In 1980 he founded CRF Construction as a remodeling and construction company. In 1989 Howard incorporated and renamed the company Chermak Construction, Inc. That year he also received his Certified Graduate Remodelors designation. This designation is awarded by the National Association of Home Builders Remodelors Council to those Remodelors who have successfully completed a prescribed course of study, as well as demonstrating that they have successfully operated a remodeling business. Howard was one of the first builders in Washington State to receive this designation. Since its inception, the company has been involved in all phases of residential and light commercial remodeling. The Award winning Chermak Construction, Inc. is a truly a full service remodeling company.
